right, you don’t get a five-year contract forced upon you — in my view of things, at least

but idk man I just work here

the word had been since Greene and the last contract extension for BP that the plan was for SP to be the successor whenever he was done

Observations: Ole Miss 85, Auburn 79 The Tigers ended a meltdown month of February with by far their worst loss. Now they're on the outside, with only themselves to blame.

Observations: Ole Miss 85, Auburn 79

- Auburn’s defense made Ole Miss look like Michigan (statistically speaking)
- yet another game where the Tigers didn’t win down low
- it’s getting easier and easier to slow down this offense

- once again: defend — or die
- get back to taking control in the frontcourt

- Auburn lost down low when it mattered the most
- sloppy, stubborn offense prevented the usual comeback
- “Everyone’s tired at this time of year.”

flew into DFW last night instead of Oklahoma to save some cash

stayed in Denton, so I asked Auburn’s SID who used to be at UNT where I should eat lunch before I left

he gave a recommendation that was absolutely perfect for two of my biggest interests: Mexican food and wrestling
