It's hard to apologize when you're team is 11-0 and in the driver's seat for an SEC and National championship but one is warranted here.

The actions on the field by the Auburn defensive linemen was ridiculous and inexcusable and as a fan I'm thoroughly embarrassed. Last night was a great chance to show the nation on national TV what Auburn stands for after two weeks of negative press and instead the Fairley and Co. acted like thugs.

For whatever it's worth, the beef in the game was strictly limited to Auburn's D-Line and Georgia's offense. After the game, almost all of Auburn's players met Georgia's players on the field and shook hands and exchanged hugs.

For the Auburn fans here that are going to flame me for posting this, frick off You're the walmart fans that you like to make fun of Alabama for. Pure trash. Don't bitch about Auburn being trashed on this site because you're the group that makes it easy for other fans to trash us.



I concur. We`ve been so defensive since the cam stuff started that its wise to pick our battles wisely.

I agree with this post! Hopefully Chiz sits Fairley for the season.

I figure this is as good a thread as any for me to apologize as well.

Without going into reasons or specifics, I was pretty defensive and eThuggish myself this morning on the board.

Was a big dickhead to people who didn't really deserve it. Hopefully they read this.

I do feel regret for the way things ended last night and for any plays that weren't 100% above board. Also regret the way I handled some of my frustration with some long-time posters. Somehow I opened my mouth and stepped in a big pile of shite in regards to the USMC, as well.

My apologies.

OMG. An apology might be warranted but not to these jackasses. Hey Ross, didn't you say that you were going to renounce your AU fandom? Well? Are you or aren't you?

Nice post. None of the Auburn players did anything remotely "classless" other than Fairley IMO. That guy is like a sociopath playing football, but I didn't see anything else that people seem to think makes your entire team trashy

I said "I don't want to be associated with a dirty program that would pay 200K for the signature of one guy".

I'll certainly sign this one Jonesy. I said the same thing last night and my biggest beef is the late hit at the end of the game and if it wasn't dirty, why the frick would Fairley run around putting on his "belt"? He took his shot and UGA took exception to it.

That was a two way altercation last night between the Georgia OL and the Auburn DL. I thought both units acted terrible. Plenty of blame to go around last night starting with Richt and Chizik.

Why would you apologize for the DL anyway? Are you their coach or play on the team?

Wicked Insane.. I pray that Auburn wouldnt stoop to that level.. But being that we are 11-0 something has to give.. Nothing ever comes out of being Auburn and being undefeated

The late hit that he got flagged on, will definitely be dealt with and is inexcusable, but i don't think it warrants a suspension. The hit that got Murray hurt was unfortunate but was not a dirty play. His legs were taken out from under him so there was no way he could control where he hit the guy. I'm sorry he got hurt and I never wish injury on any player, but that hit was purely an accident. Thats my opinion and I know you won't agree with it because there was never any hope about that, but there you have it.

I'm glad to see Auburn fans that have the respect that we've come to expect in the SEC. Hopefully nothing else will come of this and the coaches will get it under control.

I think I speak for most everyone on this board when I say all we want to hear from the Auburn fans about last night was a little regret and a little embarrassment for some of the actions that took place. You, sir, gave more than your fair share and I give you mad props for it


Hopefully most have shown that the fights were definitely embarrassments. I for one have, but i would also like some of the UGA fans to admit that they weren't innocent in it all. That is all. We were definitely guilty of some foul play and provoked things as well.

I happen to agree with what you posted and the way you wrote it. I too have said what happened at the end was not fun to watch as an Auburn fan...I also hated when Nick hit Murray in the back was an ugly scene. I will not dispute that. I just don't understand the pass of the chop blocks and other actions of GA.

By the way I disagree with you concerning other Auburn posters causing others to bash Auburn....The only way they don't bash you is if you completely agree with them.

I will not apologize for supporting my team without real proof and final results come from investigations. Nick Fairley in that game I cannot defend him and yes I may have at times in here out of anger, but at the end of the day I cringed at what I saw. The Cam newton deal and MSU I will not stand by submissively when they base their positon on dislike, innuendos, conjecture, and unnamed sources. I doubt many here would under the same circumstances facing their school of choice.

I do hate to flame or get into heated posting, I actually enjoy discussing football objectively with some fun trash talk when we go head to head. I joined just a little bit ago and all I have seen is attack after attack. I will admit I don't know the history of this board. Before the Cam stuff I would come and read the rant and laughed at some of the back and forth banter. Right now it is highly vitriolic bashing and for my posts to be acceptable I need to submit to the bashing and offer posts of agreement in what is being said?

I am sorry I cannot do that if it is not warranted. I will also add if at the end the result says Auburn cheated, Cam cheated, etc. I would be the first to apologize and accept any sanctions rendered towards AU. Anyway its all unfortunate because I have been proud being a fan in the SEC what I consider to be the greatest of College Football. Sorry for the length of the post.
