I should be using my column this week to praise Bruce Pearl on another trip to the Sweet 16 or lamenting an early exit from the NCAA Tournament. Either way, the 2019-20 season was probably his finest coaching job since arriving at Auburn.
I should be reacting to the Tigers’ weekend series with Texas A&M at Plainsman Park. I should be wondering just how difficult a season it was going to be for Mickey Dean and the softball program after their subpar out-of-conference schedule. I should be talking about sports, which is what I do and have done in this fine paper for almost 10 years.
