This is from Allen Payne, Sr. forward for Auburn, after playing his last game for the Tigers.

What is he trying to say? Too much commercialism or sponsorship? Overstock in Under Armour? I really don't know.

Nike vs UA. Charles Barkley made a comment last night about wanting Nike.

<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: dbtech_usertag_mention --> @bamaraider <!-- END TEMPLATE: dbtech_usertag_mention --> The way I took it...he was correlating their lack of success in basketball on the shoes they are wearing. It's not the first time I've heard complaints about UA's products and AU's performance this season.


<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: dbtech_usertag_mention --> @planomateo <!-- END TEMPLATE: dbtech_usertag_mention --> Barkley also said he wanted them to keep Barbee. He's 0-1 with 1 left.

Nothing. We are in a contract. If you are married and you tell her friend that you think the new lady in the office is an upgrade over your wife, bet it causes some tension.

Too bad.
They are hindering the progress of the basketball program.

I get what they're driving at now...it's all about the AAU circuit and shoe sponsorships...

Blaming the shoes because they suck really?
