@jimdunaway: Tommy Tuberville wants to claim 2004 NatChamp for Auburn. He talks with @DanWolken USC vacated it. What do you think? LINK
"What I was disappointed with is we didn't have the media step up and say, 'OK, there's got to be a champion so who is it? It obviously should have been us," Tuberville said. "Oklahoma lost. Maybe they could say it should be split because they played in the game. But Auburn went undefeated.
"If it'd been Michigan, if it had been Alabama, there would have been more of a push toward saying, hey they should be named No. 1. But Auburn, for some reason, we never got to first base on it. There was no support out of the administration."
I mean nobody's using it right now and we did get screwed that year so why not?

They were the best team that year.

No they weren't. I think USC would have beaten them by 2 touchdowns.

I'm not saying they should claim it, but IMO they were the best team that year. But I guess we'll never know, like LSU and USC in 2003.

You might as well take it if it didn't get awarded to you, right?

So AU wants to claim 2004 because USC was forced to vacate the title
Yet they also want to claim 1993 even though they were banned from post season play and in eligible.
Yeah makes perfect sense

'04 is a stickler for me. I'd trade it for '10 in a heartbeat. Those guys deserved to play for it all. Why I hate OU as much as I do.

All I'm saying is that the title is just laying there with an * on it and since we're the closest team to it, why can't we pick up the NC dust it off and give it a nice place to live

That's worse than LSU claiming SC's 03 NC.

Giving up 10 would be mean we lose some of the magic of Cam Newton's season but claiming 04 would ease the pain of what happened at the end of 13

I guess him blasting the admins means he is no longer getting a check from AU.

Wants to retroactively get that championship bonus.

His son is a walk-on at Auburn and I wondered is he had to pay tuition or did we just deduct it from Tubs "retirement" package
