We get it, you love Pat Dye and he can do no wrong

I never said it wasn't wrong.

It's just not that big of a fricking deal. The 2012 team was a shite-show I spent $6000+ dollars on (except, as I have repeatedly stated, Mason, Wallace, and Uzomah).

The players on that team have by and large grown up and are fulfilling their potential now. FANTASTIC. Good for us. Even BETTER for them.

But the present fulfillment of that potential doesn't mean the shite show never existed. There has never been an Auburn team I wouldn't defend no matter what in some manner or form. The only defense I can ever come up for the 2012 shite show always comes out "Mason, Wallace, Uzomah".

Dye came from an era where you played with no face mask, didn't live in fancy dorm rooms, didn't get a full training table, didn't have access to top notch national-level facilities, played hurt, and played both ways. I have no doubt he looked at that 2012 team and had an honest VALID judgement of "What a bunch of pussies."

Maybe that's it? Maybe instead of "cowards", you would have preferred "pussies"?
