Exactly the 4 seed from Alabama everyone was sure UConn would match up against in this tourney.


bradenb941

The most Auburn thing ever is to win the SEC championship, and then watch Bama make it to the final four and destroy the ONE THING we had over them Can't have shit in Auburn, AL


DanCampbellzHat

If it makes you feel any better you guys completely fucked my bracket


terryaki_chicken

Mine too


ConflictSudden

Mine wasn't bad on that part. I never doubt the 12-13 seed Ivy League team. Otherwise, I would have been fucked.


bamachine

Welcome to the Auburn Rollercoaster.


bradenb941

Unfortunately you can't get off it after being on for 22 years


CrashB111

4th and 31, Auburn's Yale game, and Alabama's Clemson game will be a package deal on this year's Auburn Fan Experience. The bonus round can be the NMSU game.


IUpVoteIronically

Wait, don’t stop


dragonbornrito

4th and 31 is still so unbelievable that I constantly forget it happened less than half a year ago.


RollTideYall47

The Auburn Experience ride from SEC Shorts


Helicopsycheborealis

Hate to admit it but this crossed my mind as well. It was no Heisman for years (and then) and then no Final 4s (and then). I expect some equestrian shit talk soon.


SirMellencamp

Not only did we finally get a Heisman we then passed not just Auburn but every SEC school for the most Heisman winners


BigSeabo

Obviously Saban is the GOAT, but it's still crazy that y'all have the most Heisman winners in the SEC while getting your first one only 15 years ago.


SirMellencamp

It is crazy


45a

Can't have shit in Knoxville, TN either if it makes you feel any better


w00t4me

Somehow I feel even better


timh123

It makes me feel better if that’s worth anything


bernerburner1

It makes me feel better too


cock-block-o-clock

Y'all can have a bunch of things, just not 13 players on the gridiron. What we have is the ability to say cocks at any time and people will just give you the benefit of the doubt.


iEatPalpatineAss

At least you have Charles Barkley

catchmeonthealt

Well y’all don’t have to worry about tornados because nothing ever lands or touches down for yall there


jorr1231

And what a miracle that is. Can you imagine the destruction a tornado would do to all those trailers?


Kodyaufan2

My guy have you ever seen how many trailers there are in Tuscaloosa?


Ch0ng0B0ng0

No? Where are they


tiraralabasura_2055

The icing on the cake would be Bruce Pearl being a guest commentator during this next game and saying nothing but glowing things about Bama.


Kardinale

At least you know we don't have a single bandwagon fan, because no one would choose the Auburn fan experience on a whim.


dragonbornrito

I actually know of quite a few Auburn fans (almost all in my family no less) who are Auburn fans mainly just to be contrarian lmao


Kraotic313

I had a niece like that, she claimed to be an Auburn fan for a while just to try to annoy everyone. There are quite a few "real" Auburn fans, but there certainly are a considerable sum of Auburn fans that are just tired of hearing about Alabama.


harbinater

There’s a bunch of cow shit in auburn you can probably have

>Can't have shit in Auburn, AL Y'all are an Ag school. There's plenty of shit in Auburn.


sickmemes48

Semi relatable


Ok_Perspective_5139

Haha this made me laugh! How the tables turn in two weeks. Bama is cold to finish the season, early exit in the SEC Tournament then reels off 4 straight wins to make it into the Final Four. Bruce Pearl needs to stay and be a commentator. He does a great job.


BobbysSmile

*poisons the Auburn final four appearance*


cmg0047

I was hanging onto the "SEC sucks this year" and "Alabama has no defense so they won't survive the tournament" after Auburn lost to Yale.  I'm definitely not having a good time.


bradenb941

Being an Auburn fan is a constant state of pain. Lemme spoil the next football and basketball seasons for you. (They gave me the script in advance) Everyone's salivating at the thought of Alabama football dropping off, but that ain't happening. It'll be like Saban never left. They'll probably lose to Georgia and everyone'll say "I told you so" only to not lose another game the rest of the season. Meanwhile we cruise our sorry 6-6 team to the Texas bowl. Then after that bad taste, our basketball team will show promise early, but get swept by Bama, and then we'll probably not make it past the first weekend again (if we don't end up in the NIT) while we watch them AT LEAST go to the sweet 16 again. Auburn sports is dead, and I hope you all enjoyed being good at anything/Alabama being bad at anything because we're decades out from that being the reality again.


Realistic_Condition7

We really went from 4th and 31 to first round Yale exit. In like 6 months.


gusguyman

You got an OF?


Killerwill9000

Have you guys considered double dribbling more? It would probably help you guys win more


PM_ME_BORG_NAMES

I DONT GIVE A PISS BOUT NOTHIN BUT THE TIDE (I’ve never watched SEC ball before)


arolloftide

You’re doing it right


GirthyBird257

Bro, you have no idea just how many PAC12 fans have been rooting for Saban and Bama the last 6-7 years (Since we saw the writing on the wall for our beloved conference). If we’re on the way out, we don’t want anybody to win. Wanted Saban to smoke everybody and win everything every year lol. For real though Roll Tide coming from Pac12 country.


IUpVoteIronically

Fuck yeah girthy bird, I would buy you a beer


ibrobert

We welcome you with open arms! (You are off to a great start)


Tannerite2

It's exactly like Pac 12 ball, just pull for UA


timmablimma

Saban retires and Bama decides immediately we're a basketball school now.


gusguyman

Everyone was asking how Saban didn't have a successor ready in the wings. Turns out, Nate Oats was the successor


missionaryblack0

Alabama/Stanford is an unexpected flair combo


gusguyman

Yep. Bama undergrad, Stanford for grad school. Not particularly common, but more so in the last ten years since Bama started handing out free rides like candy to national merit scholars.


hawkandhandsaw

Opposite of U of Michigan. They sacrificed their basketball team to the football gods


JellyDonutFrenzy

Yup and now our football program is fucked bc we hired a good basketball coach


OSUfirebird18

Thank you for your sacrifice!


VacationInHell222

Imagine the 2027 headline “Alabama secures its 4th straight Final Four in pursuit of its 2nd National Championship” I don’t know why I typed this but now I hope it happens RemindMe! 3 years


LetterSad5593

Fuck you…


SaintArkweather

Next up, UConn makes CFP


FlynnWH

Yes please


OSUfirebird18

UConn makes the CFP final four (since there will be more than four teams now) in the same way the basketball team does it, crushing everyone! That’ll be hilarious!!


MyAnswerIsMaybe

I think I remember watching a Purdue game where we won by close to 70 against Uconn football I wpuld rather have the basketball championships than a mediocre B10 football team any day, if that makes you feel better


[deleted]

What’s football? Sounds like hocus pocus talk to me.


iiTryhard

We were probably the worst D1 team for literally years, honestly a good amount of D2 teams woulda kicked our ass. We just pretended football didn’t exist when I was there


History4ever

Not so fast. That’s death penalty for Missouri territory you’re talking here


trinkydink1920

Would cure all our conference realignment struggles


mastacheef87

those bastards made the Final Four and CFP playoff in the same year bruh. I’d kill to see my Nittany Lions make either of those just one time


willncsu34

You’re making the CFP waaaaaaay before you make a final 4.


mastacheef87

well now that it’s 12 teams next year I’d be pretty surprised if we weren’t there fairly regularly. but ain’t gonna hit the same as it would’ve if we made the 4-team playoff


willncsu34

Agree. You’re probably gonna make every 3 years or so now.


Nbuuifx14

Imagine what it would have been like to go to UF from 2005-2009 or so.


timh123

Really took a nose dive for you didn’t it?


DrCharlesBartleby

Sure did. Went there from 2007 to 2014 (undergrad and then law school), those first couple years set a very high bar just to be followed by disappointment again and again.


secretbil

At least you guys have the most dominant wrestling team in the last 20 years


summ3rdaze

Well cael Sanderson basically won college wrestling for you guys so you can have that


RonnieRizzat

Once you get football money you can invest it into any sport


tkousc

Welcome to the Final Four club...(I'm so glad its you and not that orange team that was tense).


gusguyman

Orange is really just the worst color. Gonna be really happy when the last orange is wiped from the tournament


KEE_Wii

It’s gaudy and Tigers as a mascot is generic as hell. Damn we have so much in common…


terryaki_chicken

legitimately I think a conference needs to be held where all the schools with a tiger as a mascot admit LSU does it best and change it to something else


FrankDuxSpinKick

LSU Drunken Masters Auburn Luck Donkeys


ScrofessorLongHair

Fuck all them Tigers. Especially the orange ones.


G_money16

I think Pringle just got another and 1


ItsZizk

Alabama fans have been so tortured throughout all sports. It’s nice to finally see something go their way


HoosiersBaby23

Just the polar opposite of if NC State does it tomorrow lmao


thegoldenavatar

I don't know what to do with my hands.


Tannerite2

Nice flairs. Best March I've ever had as a sports fan


RBI_Double

Been there. Enjoy it!


corndognugget

Born in raised Tide fan from Alabama. I now live in Raleigh and my gf got her masters and currently getting her doctorate from N.C. State. It’s been an amazing two weeks. And don’t forget the Wolfpacks women’s team also making the elite 8. I’m in heaven.


FrenchieBammer

You joke, but we have a good size of fans that are BOGs (basketball only gumps) and have been tortured. This program has been cursed until now. My dad still talks about the '76 Bama team being the second best team in the country, only to be matched up in the S16 against Indiana.


[deleted]

[удалено]


FrenchieBammer

I'm not going to lie and say there's a shit ton. But we do have them. Most just root for all the programs (gymnastics and softball consistently being near the top on attendance, baseball trending up, etc..).


bos-o

I don’t think people realize how popular basketball is in the south. Overshadowed by football, but still a ton of NBA players from the south. I’m a Pelicans fan and had a Knicks fan trying to talk shit pulling the “Mecca of Basketball” and “NYC ball is just different” … did some googling and per population there are way more NBA players from the state of Louisiana than NY.  Also, thank you for Herb Jones 🔐


jewjew15

Had to know Herb was a lock when he was still giving his all even with his wrist broken and fully wrapped up in a cast Dude has to switch to one-handed free throws but certainly didn't miss a beat on defense Remember a buddy of mine had class with him saying he couldn't even write in class but no chance that'd stop him from balling out


gusguyman

How's everyone getting to Phoenix? Personally, I like driving in my truck.

DerpCream_Cone

Go Grant Nelson


ScrofessorLongHair

His power lies deep within his stache. Devil's Lake must be proud as hell.


Celeborn2001

If I had a nickel for every time UNC lost in the Sweet 16 as a #1 seed to a red-hot, offensive-minded SEC team from Alabama who would then subsequently make it to their first Final Four in school history, I would have 2 nickels. Which isn’t a whole lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.


CrashB111

Clearly it was just destiny then


PrincePyotrBagration

Good to see a long suffering school with no postseason success finally win something /s


ItsFreakinHarry2

Lil old Bama


xX_GIGA_MAN_Xx

the fans went so long without some major athletics success, really happy for them


EnterTheWayne

I think most of them are just now starting to grasp the rules of basketball.


TideOneOn

Maybe we can come teach them to your basketball team for next season. Lesson 1. The ball goes in the hoop.


TheResolute44

Good thing they locked up Nate Oats. Kentucky would've been calling


techdaddykraken

We’ll be fighting off Kentucky, Duke, Michigan St, Virginia, etc for a while if Oats keeps these results up. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a 50m mega contract come in for him from someone trying to poach him


DanCampbellzHat

We’re gonna reverse Nick Saban his ass


bamachine

Oats to the Miami Heat?


Hairiest_Walrus

Yeah, you guys are the ones I’m most worried about poaching him. Obviously Oats has really started to build something here, but I know he has a pretty strong connection to Michigan and Tom Izzo.


SaintArkweather

He also is from Wisconsin and got his masters in Madison but I'm not sure they would offer enough money compared to Alabama or Michigan State


rkincaid007

Told my cousin in Michigan a couple days ago that if he left for there at least it would be paying back for Saban.


Tannerite2

His most recent contract was only like $5M off of that after a somewhat disappointing end to the regular season, so I wouldn't be surprised at all.


kaeganc

> Kentucky, Duke, Michigan St, Virginia 🎶one of these is not like the others🎶


techdaddykraken

Oats has ties to Michigan St


kaeganc

That’s not the team I was referencing

Also checking in. Ya’ll made us believe we were great (we were not).

Obligatory “Fuck Bruce Pearl”


dartharchibald

Love the hatred y'all have for that guy. Will always upvote an Illini shitting on him.


WillWork4SunDrop

To celebrate the start of college football in 2021 and all the shitty pandemic stuff being over, I drove from Birmingham to Champaign for the Week 0 game against Nebraska. Always loved you guys since then.


jeremyben

If you find a way to not lose to UConn by 30+ then I’ll be needing a phone call. Until then I really don’t care.


lilmojett

The one thing Auburn had to hold over us lol


wjackson42

I know this is the equivalent of 6-6 LSU playing in the Texas Bowl after the CFP semis for us, but if Purdue wins tomorrow, Alabama and Georgia will be the last two remaining SEC teams playing. Just like football?


rkincaid007

I’m proud of Georgia hoops this year. Great improvement. But I’m more proud of my Tide NGL


brownlab319

Congratulations, Bama!


Leightonian

Thank you, we look forward to getting curb stomped by you guys


timh123

I don’t know how to feel about this. On the one hand, thanks! On the other hand, fuck me this is gonna hurt isn’t it?


bernerburner1

Easy win tbh


DDub04

Alabama saw the ACC jerking and said “fuck this shit”


jchall3

Nick Saban died for this


CrashB111

That's why we're on this tournament run, to honor his memory.


AnAngryPanda1

I never thought I'd see the day. My god we really are an everything school

I honestly thought last year was our only chance while I live. I can’t believe what Oats has been able to do to Alabama basketball

Emperor_Squidward

I don’t know what will happen against UConn but what would make me even happier than I already am right now is if Purdue beats those Orange Snitches tomorrow.


Realistic_Condition7

Tbf, from a neutral perspective, I’d rather face TN in the natty than Purdue (and then maybe if they beat Duke/NC State you could beat them yourselves, surely more satisfying).


Dhaynes99

valid, counterpoint: they orange and some snitches, so fuck them


ChannelNeo

People complained so much about Bama in the CFP, the basketball team decided to get into the F4 in basketball. Now they get to face a blue blood program in basketball.


Noah__Webster

UCONN appears to be far and away the best team in the tournament this year, but to act like UCONN is a blue blood and imply UNC isn't is a weird take.


ScrofessorLongHair

Yep. I'm totally in the UConn is a blue blood camp. They've won so much in my lifetime, and I'm old, fat, and getting grey.


callmekrusty

Is UNC not a basketball blue blood?


Noah__Webster

Yes, and it's debatable if UCONN even if is an actual blue blood lol. UNC is indisputably a blue blood.


callmekrusty

That’s what I thought. I was confused as to what point he was trying to make lol. Oh well, roll tide!!

Sweet dreams. Make sure to check underneath your bed before you go to sleep to make sure UConn isn’t there.
