“Pearl Jam” wasn’t the band. Rather it was an open scrimmage and event for Auburn’s basketball team and its first-year coach. Pearl, after serving time as an ESPN analyst while he was under show-cause penalty from the NCAA, was hired by Auburn after last season.
We hope Pearl read this piece by The War Eagle Reader for authenticity. The site asked Malzahn’s wife and daughter on how to create the perfect Gus costume.
