Sorry bro, but you and I may have been watching two different kids... He definitely showed flashes last year, but he also was lost at times... I sat on the 40 yd line 12 rows up behind our bench during the Vandy game, and the coaches had to tell him what to do almost every play... he was lost... Once he got burned off the snap because he was still looking at the sidelines... And this was at the END of the season with plenty of games under his belt. Pretty bold prediction, so we'll see how it plays out... I certainly hope the kid balls the next couple of years along with Flowers and others, but he wasn't exactly Cam Sutton or Eric Berry out there as a freshman.

Why are you getting upset over someone predicting success for one of our players?

You've absolutely fallen apart as a reaction to a pretty measured exchange. But if you need someone to blame it on, I'd rather it be me, than you going home and kicking your dog.

You accused me of having an opinion on Bruce because of his success.. If you'd look at my posting history in regards to Bruce, it was last year when the reports came out about him being involved in the FBI sting. I had defended Bruce to that point but after that I got tried of hearing all the "I told you so" from people. Your SJW self jumped and assumed it was because of his success. I don't care what your opinion is of Bruce and I don't give a **** about why you feel the need to defend him. Maybe you should take a similar stance instead of trying figure out someone else's thought process.

Now get back to your psychic hotline.

Don't pull that "sorry you don't understand" junk. You're salty because Auburn is still in it and we're not. No one asked your opinion of Bruce and no one is really denying that he's got a shady history. You can have a valid opinion and still be snake-bitten, which you obviously are. Do YOU understand?

Sorry for calling you out for being salty. You've totally proved you aren't.

I'm gonna go ahead and nip this conversation, because I'm sure it's annoying to everyone else.

Good day, I guess. Signed, your local SJW jackwad psychic.

Lol.

Again, who's salty? Sounds like your dander got up when someone said something about your idol, oh Bruce. Didn't mean to hurt your feelers there. I guess when someone makes an assumption about you I can make one salty.

So in your mind they’re both cheaters... not sure why you ever brought up getting caught then
Click to expand...
I'm not sure if you can't differentiate between being a known, convicted cheater vs one that is speculation or what. Plus, I've not seen any evidence that Pruitt has cheated or not. You have to make the assumption that Pruitt is cheating just because he has recruited well. Also, his recruiting has been decent but it isn't like he's recruiting well enough to draw suspicion.

Bruce is a convicted cheater and he's caught up in another cheating scandal.

Honest question, has his recruiting been that great at Auburn that would lead one to believe he’s dirty as hell? Genuinely haven’t paid attention

Obviously, his team doesn’t have one and dones. But many of them were at least top 70 players. Okeke was top 45, and Wiley was a 5 star. Harper, Spencer, Purifoy were all top 70. Brown was just a 3 star.

We had the worst pass rush in the league. Eric berry and Cam Sutton had NFL players up front creating pressure on the QB. Only the best corners can cover so long.

And he was absolutely dominant until the last two games of the season when he hit a freshman wall. He wasn't targeted all season until then. He locked guys down.

Exactly. Now he’s had a full season and off season working as the #1 CB. He’s legit. The best secondary player we have had since Eric berry.

I get that, I just don't understand all the Bruce hate.

This team was capable of more, and we got shafted. We're still able to claim another S16 as a consolation prize, and again, we can relish how fun this team was to watch.

The one thing about the NCAAT is that it ends in heartbreak for 67 of 68 teams participating.

No one hates him. I loved him, but I am tired of those that salivate over him, especially those who only care when our basketball team is good. We have some fair weather basketball fans. He coaches at a competitor now. Move on.

If Bruce Pearl winning it all makes my VOLS get talked about and look better (being number one in SEC for a month-- SEC under-rated) then I want him to win. Otherwise, Virgina or Texas Tech would be fine. Not really a Michigan State fan, except we can thank them that we don't have to hear about Zion all day and every day.

Auburn winning it all only benefits Auburn, and they've been a thorn in our side since Pearl took over.
