When asked about Bruce Pearl lifting the Auburn program to new heights, Cal said, “He’s gotten a program where people are absolutely excited. Sonny Smith back in the day had it rolling…”
Then came the Barkley shot:
“… he had that guy… what’s his name?… Charles, what’s his last name? That big guy with the big head. What’s his name? Oh, Charles Barkley. I peed on his statue down there, just so you know.”
He was joking, I think.
Cal’s comment was Part II in his public feud with Barkley at press conferences this year.
