Auburn didn't beat the teams of "most" fans. I'm sure the butthurt fans help comprise the faction of skeptics. But they represent some of that faction, not most of it.

For example, I view the title as tainted because I think Cam was paid. My team didn't play 2010 AU.

Who cares what other fans think?... the hardware is still sitting in the cases at the athletic complex, the rings are still on their fingers... the memories are still there.

I get what point he's trying to make, but honestly... why should we care?

where is the part where anyone is supposed to care?

I think the board here seriously overestimates how much the average football fan cares about this shite. I have no doubt in certain circles disgruntled fans will forever bitch about us winning it, but that's the exception, not the norm, so again, who gives a shite what you or paul finebaum and his band of mongaloids think.

You should care because AU doesn't receive the national recognition and respect associated with winning a MNC.

You guys can ho-hum all day in Auburn, but everyone else more or less refuses to give the accomplishment much weight.

It's been relegated to an accomplishment recognized almost exclusively by AU fans. But as fans, what good is that? We all think our respective programs are the shite. So in a way, AU is no different than teams that haven't won a BCS title because its viewed by most in the same light.

It just kind of sucks.

If you read the AU creed you see that they did not cheat. Not in 2010 or any other time.
Just read it...

Well we didn't win it for you, i think most auburn fans are pretty thrilled with the accomplishment

Well it is our trophy in our building...so again, who else should we have won it for

Well other than having the trophy, hanging the banner and being the national champions of 2010.

also again, you seriously overestimate the average fan, and the attention span of people.

It seems there is a section of fans who don't wnat us to appreciate the title...sorry we let you down.

Yeah this pretty much sums it up. It becomes about the perspective of Auburn and when does it begin to hurt the reputation of the schools athletic program.

Last off-season was so much more enjoyable though, what with the BMFP-Jessica thing, her online guest book, and the Lexington police scanner.

Alas, we must settle for another contrived set of flame threads. I weep for this board, and for America.
