Auburn’s 2010 Natty year was a more interesting story than Swamp Kings

Think about it.

King Jimmie rustler Cam Newton, scorned by that very Gators team, gets banished to no-man’s-land Texas to redeem and rise from the ashes and lead the unranked afterthought Auburn Tigers and becomes the greatest player in college football. The drama with his dad and the church and Mississippi State and recruitment. The NCAA investigation. The super human plays against South Carolina, and Clemson and Kentucky. Single handedly taking over the LSU game, the drama of would he play vs Georgia. The comeback from 24-0 IN Tuscaloosa. The Michael Dyer play that was an inch away from being down that ended up saving the game. The kick to win it all.

Much better story.

You’re more describing Cam Newtons story more so than Auburn’s 2010 run….

Nobody wants to watch a documentary about Auburn.

The Florida story is much more interesting, the documentary just left out the most interesting portion.

I’m in the second episode of swamp kings and about to quit watching. It’s nauseating how little “untold” there is. Does it get any better, or is it just a Meyer suck fest?

one thing watching the swamp kings reminded me of, i much prefer the SEC pre ags and mizzou. when aub, lsu, fla, bama, tenn were all good, there were some epic games. aub\uf games were always entertaining to watch from someone with no dog in that fight. some great games.

Auburn's 2010 year would make an interesting episode in a series about cheating in college sports if the episode focuses on Cam Newton more than Auburn.

That's about it, though.

In other words, the interesting part is thing that happened as part of the Swamp Kings story?

I agree.

That’s an interesting way to phrase stealing electronics for drug money

The next story should be the 2007 season. Just the entire thing. #2 losing almost every week, Stanford beating USC, WVU-Pitt, Missouri, Kansas only having 1 loss! Hawaii making the sugar

I have to agree…I enjoyed Swamp Kings, but I’m still trying to figure out what merited a Netflix special?? The Hugh Freeze era/error at Ole Miss has to be on their list for a future show…

Only if Scam and his father tell us who was the bagman. What pronoun is Sam using these days?

I enjoyed swamp kings. Pretty cool insight to things.

I just wonder why Tebow did the whispering style talk. He went all zen mode. Dude is still in phenomenal shape. I think of him and spikes went to blows it would have been a pretty good scrap.
