I had ESPN radio on in my car a little over an hour ago. Freddie Coleman was talking about the NFL Draft and NBA playoffs. Right before a commercial break he said he would be talking about "Auburn's rapid fall after the 2010 title season". ESPN is treating Auburn like a dog treats its personal chew toy.

Good job posting a picture of Dakota Mosely a year before he committed to Auburn. Nice detective work there, slapdick.

ESPN and Gameday have some Bama grads in production, aside from Rece..any opportunistic bias or just telling the true story?

Auburn came prepared..got that cash flowing early ahead of the game.
Doesn't matter if it was Dakota's dad/uncle's ATM drop, whatever, or whether Cam and dad ever busted, etc...
Tainted title is the perception..is the reality.

I can't believe you actually believe half the stuff you spew on this site.

I just finished watching that segment, and all I have to say is AU needs to put a gag order on Chizik. That dude did y'all no favors TT. He might be one of the single most moronic human beings I have ever seen interviewed. Basically he said:
We knew it was illegal, and our team medical director gave a letter to everyone on the team letting them know it was illegal, but we didn't decide to start trying to test for it until 8 months after it was declare illegal. Even then it took us another 7 months to start testing for it, after we had known that there was a strong possibly that many players on the team were using it. Once we started testing for this illegal substance, we waited ANOTHER 5 months to place it on our banned substance list.
So, it took 20 months after it being declared illegal in Alabama for AU to put it on the banned substance list?

Auburn's athletic administration and coaching staff could not have legally informed parents about failed tests for synthetic marijuana before the drug was banned, according to documents obtained by AL.com through an open records search.
.
.
.
But when Auburn began testing for synthetic marijuana on Jan. 27, 2011, the drug was not banned by Auburn, the NCAA or the state of Alabama. Because the drug was not banned by Auburn, synthetic marijuana was not covered under Auburn's drug testing waiver policy.
The ESPN article points out that possession of the drug had been outlawed in July of 2010, but the drug was still readily available. Synthetic marijuana could still be bought at stores until Gov. Robert Bentley issued an executive order on Oct. 14, 2011, banning stores from selling the product.
An anecdote from the ESPN article makes this clear, writing that Harrison Mosley, the father of former Auburn football player Dakota Mosley, bought spice over-the-counter and smoked it in late Oct. 2010.
After the drug was outlawed, Auburn asked its testing company, Aegis Sciences Corporation, if there was a test available. Aegis did not have one yet, according to Jacobs' statement on Thursday and corroborated by the ESPN article.
Before Auburn implemented penalties for the drug, the school tried to educate athletes, according to Jacobs.
AL.com obtained a copy of a letter circulated to athletes by Joe Joe Petrone dated July 17, 2010, informing athletes of the state of Alabama's law that banned possession, outlining the state's penalties and warning athletes that synthetic marijuana is "often sold over the internet and in herbal stores." ESPN's story also outlines meetings led by former Auburn coach Gene Chizik to educate coaches and players about the drug.
After testing was implemented, athletes were offered counseling – because it was not banned, counseling sessions could not be mandatory – although several athletes skipped those sessions, according to sources with knowledge of the situation. Mosley admitted to ESPN that he skipped a session set up by Malzahn after a meeting that Malzahn says centered around depression.

Actually if you'll Google: Synthetic Marijuana made illegal in Alabama you'll find this. Which actually shows the date that you stated is not only wrong because the order was for October 24th, but it was a order for the search and seizure of the product from stores.
Did you know that it's illegal to have a marijuana pipe, but it's not illegal to sell it as a tobacco pipe?
If you haven't caught on yet, it means something can be illegal to possess, but if it's under a different name and use that you can get away with it. Until the government ask for you cough it up.
ETA: Just watched the very end of it one more time, and even after all of the executive order mobo-jumbo E:60 was STILL able to buy it at a store in Auburn just 4 weeks ago. So much for it being illegal huh?
Again Chizik didn't do y'all any favors.

Why do yoi guys even bother. You are arguing with retards who have nothing to back up what they are even saying.
Nothing to prove gents. Trophy is polished and sitting pretty in the case. Still puliing in top recruits. Most of the fans in here root for teams who have been on probation recently. NCAA hasn't and can't do a damn thing that most are referring to. Take your shoes off, put up your feet and sit back and laugh your arse off. Stop giving a frick what a bunch of anonymous message board people think.
Think of it this way. Cam will always raise their ire and Nick Fairley will always be sacking the conciousness out of their QB's. Auburn wins because we will always reside in their heads, and cause them to spew silly nonsense that can never be proven. EVER!
Just saying...

3 out of 4 makes me not give a frick.
Enjoy that title, AU fans. Even if the narrative is that it is tainted..it can't be taken away until it is taken away.

You can make that clain all your life and it still won't be true. You care maybe even more than most, but we can pretend you don't if that makes you feel better.

Believe what you want..just like you are telling UA fans about AU.
UA is rolling. A machine. AU's highest point is a footnote to a dynasty.
I'm good.

3 of last 4, and yet 3/1 chalk for 2013, with strong possibility for 4 of 5..

Are you sure you're not an A&M fan?
Posted on 4/23/13 at 11:47 pm to RockyMtnTigerWDE
I am. It is wonderful to watch a tough D and a competent O...and for that to happen year after year.
It is great being a UA fan. Sure, post IB 2010 I was upset. Why in the frick would I be now? AU hasn't scored an offensive TD on UA since that game.
The sky is clear, the wind is crisp, and the W's are rolling in for UA...what else is there to care about?
