My sister forwarded this email she received from Coach Barbee.
Dear Auburn Students,
As your new head basketball coach, I am thrilled about the opportunity to represent you and this great university at such an exciting time for Auburn basketball. When I accepted this job, I knew there would be challenges, but what struck me the most was the tremendous potential of this program with everything Auburn has to offer. The university, the community and the fan base are all top notch, and the new state-of-the-art Auburn Arena demonstrates a commitment to this program that will help us take Auburn basketball to new heights.
As your head coach, I promise to stay true to the Auburn Creed as I believe in work, hard work. With that said, my staff and I will not be outworked as we bring the Auburn Family what they deserve. I will give my all in every aspect of the job, from recruiting and coaching to promoting the program. I will do everything in my power to produce a winning program and change the culture of Auburn basketball.
I challenge you, the Auburn students, to create a real excitement around Auburn basketball. You are a part of the team, and I need you there at every game to make Auburn Arena the best home court advantage in the SEC.
You are critical to our success, and there has not been a more significant period to turn this program around than now. The administration shares my feelings, as the design of Auburn Arena prioritizes the experience of the students.
The Auburn Arena caters to students in every way and is designed to create an intimidating home court advantage. Very few students throughout the entire nation will enjoy the same amenities that this new arena will present to you. You will have your own private entrance to the arena, concourse area, restrooms and concession stand. As students, you will have the best seats in the building. The student section will surround three sides of the court on the floor level. You will have an effect on the game like never before, and our atmosphere will be contingent on you. With your help, I truly believe we can have a great basketball atmosphere.
I know we can accomplish all of our goals together. I cannot express how excited I am to be your new coach. I look forward to the next few months as we build enthusiasm for next season and beyond.
War Eagle!

I have now officially heard more about, and from an Auburn Head Basketball Coach than I have in the rest of my Auburn past.
I like the start.... I'm intrigued.

I want to be a student again.

It is supposed to be designed to be somewhat loud isn't it? Or did I just imagine that?
simp - do you know since you helped in some of the draft plans?

I took a tour of it during the football season. Of course it was just a maze of concrete but you got the general idea of how it was all laid out. When we walked into the actual arena from the floor entrance, I literally went, What the hell is this? At first glance, it's really small and I guess next BEMC it is. But the more you stood there and looked around, you could tell this was going to be bad azz. It seems to have a lot of different levels and very unique seating layout. There's no question you will be right on top of the action. Big time.

It is designed to be really loud. With the seating and what not, like Ole' Harvey said.

The ceiling is low for one thing. Also, if I remember correctly, the design was created in an acoustic fashion to make it the much louder. Also, I think when students and fans enter the doors, they will enter in on the 3 floor giving a bowl type configuration. It should be very similar to Dukes arena, maybe a little bigger. This place will rock. At one time, you could take a virtual tour of the place. I think I will go take a look during A-Day.

I think Cameron Indoor is under 10K too. And yes, it's loud in there. Hell, I was watching them play Portland State or somebody like that and the Crazies never stopped.

It's true...the number of people is not that big of a deal. When I lived in North Carolina I went to both Duke (9,300) and North Carolina (21,750) basketball games, and preferred the Duke atmosphere even though it had considerably less than half of what the Smith Center seats.
With our student section on three sides and close to the court, it could be a pretty difficult place to play (assuming we have enough students to fill the lower three sides....what an embarrassment it would be if we don't).
Seems like Barbee is doing everything right so far.

I'm wondering if the Crazies were the test rats for the "5 Hour" energy drink. If so, I think a letter to Barbee is in need. I'm excited about this new arena for sure. I think the Barbee hire will re-energize the masses. Its up to him to keep it going.

We just need to hand out cocaine at the student gates.

Thinking the same thing.

...and noses. The only problem with the cocaine idea is more people would be 'lined' up at the bathroom than in the arena itself.
-
That's not the only problem with cocaine...

Hand out nothing. We keep, and dole out selectively. How else are we going to get some of you fucktards laid?

So does that mean the uglier we are the better chance we get free cocaine and get laid?

They're desperate. Let's see if we can't get the price a bit higher than a few random lines of blow.

There is one caveat you have to do the blow of each others boobies.
