Auburn To Retire Cam Newton's Jersey

Inflation is crazy. Auburn spent $180k to win a championship in 2010. Michigan spent $20M to win one in 2024.

Deal of the century for Auburn in hindsight. $180k is chicken shite money in this NIL era of buying players.

"What a career for #2"? More like what a year.

Had he been at Auburn for multiple years he would be talked about as one of the greatest ever. With only one season it's hard to make that argument.

Ole Cat in the Hat

Did he even finish a single academic year at Auburn?

Not too bad to get your number retired by spending less 12 months at the school.

What about his mini skirt?

I hate that we're at a place in sports where playing one year at a school is enough to get your number retired the same as 3 and 4 year guys that bled school colors from when they were in diapers, committed to your school, played numerous seasons at your school and set career long records that mean something. Cam was a great player but he was just a mercenary. He didn't and doesn't bleed orange and navy anymore than Tom Petty gave a rip about Gator Football. Give him a staute, put him in the ring of honor but save jersey retirement for multi-year superstars

frick Cam Newton's Andre 3000 lookin arse

I don't always wish arse cancer on former college players, but when I do... It's ALWAYS Cam Newton & Nick Fairley.
