Episode 250: Almost Heaven, (in) West Virginia

Justin and Painter break down Auburn basketball's near-comeback at WVU and look ahead to the final 10 games of the regular season.

Justin and Painter open the show with a tribute to journeyman football players, from NFC Championship Game active quarterback Josh Johnson — recorded before his injury — to Auburn national champions Josh Bynes and Josh Harris.

Then the guys switch over to Auburn basketball’s 80-77 loss at West Virginia. They talk about how the loss will go down more as a big missed opportunity than a crushing blow for the season, what lessons can be learned ahead of the final five weeks of the regular season and how Georgia becomes a real must-win game.

They close with a discussion of Hugh Freeze’s time at the Alabama Football Coaches Association’s clinic over the weekend and Nick Saban’s secondhand comments about the wild world of NIL.

Tre Donaldson needs starter minutes. Wendell Green gives you bench scoring.

Brandon Jacobs for me. Was gonna add Ontario mccaleb as my second but I guess he started in the lost year of 2012. Clearly done a good job putting that season out of mind.
