The only thing embarrassing is that they let you keep talking as long as they did. I’m genuinely shocked that people who cover sports or claim to can give takes like this with their whole chest and a straight face. At some point hot takes for attention aren’t funny and DO NOT encourage the kind of discourse around college athletics that we need in an era where everyone is crying about money “ruining” the game. A group of players deciding as a team they did not want losing to be the last thing their year’s team is remembered for is not “embarrassing” at all. Quite the contrary. Now that Auburn has won the NIT, I’d challenge Ryan to come back to the table and explain how the program and the players would’ve have been better served by NOT winning those five extra games and just sitting at home stewing on just missing the big dance. His whole point about having video of a half empty arena is too foolish to address beyond just stating that it’s foolish. Auburn fans showed up all season and getting to see their team win 5 more games was in NO WAY detrimental to the program, players, fans, or a first year head coach. If anything they got a chance to gel more as a team and instill some hope that if they keep their core together they won’t come up short next time. C’mon Ryan….You can do better than this.

20 years ago, a man screamed his own name into a microphone and ruined everything. It became one of the most famous moments in internet history.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ A group of players in an online game called World of Warcraft had spent several minutes planning a complicated raid. Timing, positioning, survival odds. One player calculated their chances of success at 32.33 percent, repeating. The whole time, one of their teammates wasn’t listening. He’d stepped away from his computer to reheat some chicken. When he came back, he ignored everything, screamed his character’s name at the top of his lungs, and charged straight into the fight alone. Everyone followed him in. They all died in seconds. “Leeroy, you are just stupid as hell.” “At least I have chicken.” The clip spread across the internet before “going viral” was even a phrase. It was referenced in South Park, How I Met Your Mother, and an article in a military journal. The game’s developer added the character as an official figure inside the game. His name became shorthand for anyone who ruins a plan by doing something reckless. The whole thing was staged. The group admitted years later it was a scripted re-enactment of something that had actually happened. The cameraman said: “We didn’t think anyone would believe it was real. We thought it was so obviously satire.” The player behind Leeroy Jenkins is a guy named Ben Schulz. He repairs industrial lighting for a living.
