After Disclosing Aversion to Colorado for 1 Reason, Disappointed Charles Barkley Goes Off on Alma Mater: ?If You Are Scared??

College Football is in full swing. Soon to enter its 5 week, the NCAA tournament has garnered the attention of not only football fans but also of various personalities from the sporting world. While several athletes take to commentary post-retirement, none are quite as iconic as the esteemed Charles Barkley. The Philadelphia 76ers has been closely watching his alma mater?s football team in action. Like most of us, he’s also been following Coach Prime’s Buffaloes. While he does have a bone to pick with Colorado, Chuck’s real beef is with Auburn.

With the team?s recent performance, however, Barkley had to step out and make his opinion heard in religious fashion.

Charles Barkley criticizes the Auburn Tigers? quarterback

A few hours ago, Charles Barkley sat down for an interview on ?The Next Round? show. During the same, he touched base on the performance of his alma mater?s football team. The Auburn Tigers are currently holding a score of 3-1. Despite this, Barkley took it upon himself to use some choice words against their favor. His criticism was mostly focused on the team?s quarterbacks, including 22-year-old Payton Thorne.

?If y?all are going to be down there baptizing people, please pray for better quarterback play,? said Barkley during the interview.

Chuck’s criticism towards Thorne came just after Auburn lost their recent game against? Texas A&M by a score of 27-10. Thorne himself was only able to cover 44 yards through the air during the game. Barkley emphasized that a quarterback cannot be allowed to play ?scared or looking over his shoulder.?

?The Number one thing you need to have as a player is confidence in yourself to make good plays and bad plays,? Barkley added during the conversation. ?If you’re scared to make bad plays, you can’t make good plays. And right now, they’re in no-man’s land.?

Charles urged that if the rising star can?t pull it off the next game, then the team should start to put their hopes on another player. Regardless of how the chips fall though, Barkley is unlikely to be in attendance.

Sir Charles will not attend a live college football game

Besides lending his support to the Auburn Tigers, Charles Barkley has supported another team during this ongoing tournament.

Ever since two-time Super Bowl champion Deion Sanders became the head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, Barkley has voiced some favorable views for the 3-1 scoring team. Despite his fondness towards the team, however, Barkley wouldn?t choose to attend any of their games live in the stadium.

During an interview with Fox Sports, Barkley stated his reason for not attending any of the Colorado games. Surprisingly, it was weather.

?It?s too hot, it?s too hot,? Barkley added during the conversation. Despite his aversion, fans would sure love to catch a glimpse of the Chuckster in the stands.
