Basketball? That's Still Happening?


so apparently Auburn's mens b-ball squad is on a bit of a hot streak of late and are almost back to respectability (and by that i mean .500 in the SEC). they aren't nearly the unstoppable Juggernaut that is the women's hoops team, but yeah they aren't exactly the typical completely shitty basketball team either. with any luck they might just find themselves stumbling into an NIT berth...but probably not. look, i don't pretend to know or care anything about college basketball. all the good players leave after one or two years and the only time it's fun to watch is during the conference tournaments and the opening rounds of the NCAA's. but i do try and have at least a borderline love for the men's basketball team if they happen to be on a television and i happen to not be able to find any reruns of Buffy The Vampire Slayer on tv. sadly not too many Auburn men's games tend to come on and so i've seen about 2 minutes of the team all season, but luck be told these Tigers are traveling to my fine city of Athens to take on the shittiest team in the shittiest conference in all the land, the Georgia Bulldogs next week on February 18. i think tickets are like $15...which in this economy is asking a lot from people to endure such low quality athletics, but it's better than sitting in my house and dominating the computer in NCAA Football 09 every night. so yeah, if you are interested hit me up.
