This is the Auburn podcast, your daily Auburn Tigers podcast.

I'm your host, Zach Blackerby.

No, I say daily.

I dropped the ball yesterday, guys.

And I apologize, but we are back.

We should be every day for the rest of this week.

And I appreciate all of you that tweeted at me and message me on Facebook and some of my

closer friends that texted me. All is good. Had some personal stuff come up yesterday and just

there was really no time. And today yesterday, I just ran out of time. But if you're listening to this podcast, you're probably very upset with the conference.

And rightfully so, with what really just the first team list that the conference put out.

And it's apparently voted by the coaches.

I just have a hard time that all 14 head basketball coaches in the conference are really

worried about, you know, this final, you know, list.

So I'm sure it was SIDs or maybe coaches had impact on it or input, rather, on their decisions

and their votes.

But I just have a hard time believing they put a whole lot

of thought into it. Because you look at what the media did, the AP, they put Auburn guys in there.

I know there's a lot of you that are upset and rightfully so. And Bruce Pearl's spoken up about it.

And good for him standing up for its players. But with all that said, I want to talk about the

NFL scouting combine. Because I mean, I don't know said, I want to talk about the NFL scouting combine.

Because I mean, I don't know what else there is to say about basketball. I mean, it's ridiculous.

But I do think we're going to see a very motivated squad. You know, there were some people say, well, what do they have to play for?
