Wow.... I thought maybe the board would man up... aside from a few classy posters here I don't think theres any men here. Only a bunch of butthurt crybabies. It gives me this warm feeling inside to know this hurts you guys so much. Hey... you can always hope they take it away Keep holdin out for that moral victory!

Well, I think you're now coming to the realization of the ramifications around all the P4P fallout. Note, I genuinely think Auburn fans are as much the victim in this nonsense as everyone else because you guys simply love your University and its' associated team. Absolutely nothing wrong with that.

However, it's not just this board and the people who post on it. Read the following from ESPN:

It was a game of ethical flinches. Watching Cam Newton get a confetti bath did not qualify as the feel-good moment of the season for anyone other than title-starved Tigers fans and greedy Southeastern Conference backers, who will keep the crystal football in their neighborhood for an unprecedented fifth straight season. The Auburn quarterback withstood an interception, a lost fumble and a wince-inducing back injury to flash one more winner's smile.

"I don't want nobody to feel sorry for me, because throughout this year didn't nobody feel sorry for Auburn," Newton said, setting a BCS record for double negatives in a single sentence. "We got the last laugh."

Maybe not the very last laugh. The lingering question is whether Auburn has its hardware only on loan. An ongoing NCAA investigation, spurred by findings that Newton's father tried to sell his son's quarterbacking services to Mississippi State, could one day result in the school's first title in 53 years being vacated.

Like it or not, the way this was handled and managed by the SEC and NCAA, this stigma is going to follow this title until there is some final resolution which, given the NCAA, could be years out in the future. Just don't be mad at ESPN, folks on the board, etc, direct your ire at the NCAA, Cecil Newton, potentially Bobby Lowder and all the people who have put Auburn in this position in the first place. THOSE are the people Auburn fans need to be pissed off with.
