Van Allen Plexico and John Ringer, hosts of the AU Wishbone Podcast and authors of WE BELIEVED: A LIFETIME OF AUBURN FOOTBALL and SEASON OF OUR DREAMS, bring you the story of Auburn Basketball over the past five decades, beginning with the arrivals of Sonny Smith and Charles Barkley, and through Bruce Pearl's revival of the program, the Final Four season of 2019 and the powerhouse team of 2022. The book includes:
- The hiring of Sonny Smith, along with a bunch of his great stories and hilarious one-liners. AND a new interview conducted with him in 2022, offering his thoughts on his time as coach, his favorite players, his work as color analyst for AU today, and his thoughts on Bruce Pearl and the current Auburn Basketball program.
- Charles Barkley: Every story we could find. His three seasons on the team; his experiences with Bobby Knight at the 1984 Olympic trials (and reactions of other players there!); his glory years in the NBA, and beyond. (Not to mention the time he tried to gain a hundred pounds in one day, to avoid being drafted by one particular team!)
- Cliff Ellis: His best teams and players, and what he really thought about his dismissal in 2004.
- The tragedy of Tommy Joe Eagles, and the disaster of the Lebo/Barbee years. (From how the new Arena was designed and why, to what Barbee felt was the most important thing when he took over the job--!)
- Bruce Pearl: How Jay Jacobs managed the hire. The controversies. The revival of the program. The glorious 2019 run. The great players. The exhilaration of the 2022 team and everything around it. All of that and more.
- The greatest players of the last five decades, and the best games, tournament runs, and more.
- In-depth discussion and analysis of every Auburn Basketball season since 1978 (some of them game-by-game, a few of them play-by-play... and some much more than others, obviously!)
- And, along the way, you get Van and John's patented mixture of commentary, humor, memories, and analysis.
It's 300 pages of Auburn Basketball glory, as only the AU Wishbone duo can tell it!

Read the first book and this 2nd one did not disappoint! Loved every chapter. More please!
Like it was written by George Santos
Received an Advanced Reader Copy from a friend. I am an avid true crime reader and upon completion I question if the author is credible. The timeline does not add up for his age and the times of his alleged involvement in organized crime. Some of the things in the book he is alleged to have said and done I remember almost word for word from movies I had previously watched. He literally stole a scene from the movie the accountant with Ben Affleck and said that he did it. I did a little research after completing the book and learned that this author was also claiming in 2010 that he was a long time member of the Bloods Gang. That coupled with the above leads me to believe that it is nothing more than fantasy. Do not waste your time or money

What a difficult story to tell. I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability. Definitely made me think.
I had hopes for this book but was not expecting what I would read within the pages. If your kink is deplorable grammar, incoherent sentences, and inconsistent messages, then this book is for you. At first, I thought the book I received was not the book I ordered. But as I dived in, it was very confusing. I would not recommend this book to anyone
There are not many reviews on the internet for this book. In researching the many stores selling the book, it was self-published which makes a lot of sense. The online description is written perfectly, so reading the actual book was very difficult. Pages two and three are written clearly as well as the table of contents. Pages 155 and 156 are also written logically.
It appears this book was written, then sent through a program like “Grammarly.” Once completed it seems it was published without being re-read or edited. The first clue was the title narrative that used “Has” instead of “As.” The table of contents is one page off from what it shows on pages four though seven. Many of the “q’s” are written as “[]”
Below are some examples of what was within the pages of this book written verbatim:
“Chains & Discipline/ Domination & entry/ Sadism & Masochism (BDSM) is a wide classification of bed room play.” Page 9
“When bringing up the topic of chains, you are actually asking a person to offer you their depend on, their flexibility, and also possibly their suggestion of security in exchange for sensual/sexual enjoyment, power-play, and also feasible re-evaluation of your very own connection.” Page 39
“Techni[]ue can take a selection of kinds and also be as easy or facility as you pick to (new paragraph) bargain for your details scenario” Page 52
“BDSM stands for chains as well as entry, technique and also supremacy as well as sadism and also masochism.” Page 125
“SHELF means Risk Aware Consensual Kink.” Page 130
“Approval is whatever.” Page 152
“your twist isn’t my twist, yet your twist is OKAY.” Page 153
“You can be a top, base, or button” Page 153
