Auburn men’s basketball won the SEC Tournament in dominant fashion on Sunday. However, the most interesting storyline stems from a Tigers fan who wore Apple Vision Pro goggles during the game.
It raises so many questions!
The man was sitting directly behind the Auburn bench, just one row off of the floor. He was wearing the ‘A’ on his shirt so it was not just a random guy who got cheap tickets after Kentucky and Tennessee lost. He was rooting for the Tigers.
Due to his positioning within Bridgestone Arena, the ESPN broadcast had him in the frame every time it cut to Bruce Pearl on the sideline. If the bench was in the frame, so was the Apple Vision Pro!

Tim Cook got his Bachelor’s degree from Auburn… did he plant this guy in exchange for NIL money? Don’t rule it out!
I also need to know what he had on his goggles.
If this man was sitting front row at the SEC Championship while also watching Duquesne win its first-ever A-10 Tournament on the screen, I have the utmost respect. Same goes for the final round of Players Championship. That would be legendary, especially if he had money riding on either event — though I don’t totally understand why he couldn’t put it on his phone like everybody else.
The only reasonable conclusion is that he was watching both.
I saw someone else suggest that the fan might have had real-time stats pulled up on the Apple Vision Pro while watching the game. Should that be the case, I have zero appreciation for this move. The SEC and Bridgestone Arena does a great job of keeping things on time and accurate with their jumbotron display. The goggles would then be redundant.
Other than those two possibilities, I have no idea what this man might have had displayed on his screen. It was midday on a Sunday. There wasn’t anything else of note going on…
Another possibility stems from spending a week in Nashville. The Apple Vision Pro-wearing Auburn fan might have gotten drunk at a honky tonk, stumbled over to the Apple store on Broadway and purchased the goggles. He may have been reminded of his purchase when he woke up on Sunday and wanted to make sure that he got his money’s worth. Honestly, that could be it.
I need answers!!!!
