re: 2023 Game 5 Thread - UGA 27 - AU 20 FINAL

A piece by Goodman has me in the sads. It is actually a good piece by Goodman so I suggest reading

Apparently Cam is so old that his running around the stadium resulted in family members helping him walk up the hill of the west side of the stadium after the game. I know that hill; I have walked up that hill drunk before. Is his body that broke?

Newton and his family exited the field on the west side of the stadium. That meant he had to walk up a hill to the campus. To help Newton up the incline, an older family member with a cane used the walking aid to push Newton from behind. That’s how entirely exhausted Newton was after the game. He had given Auburn everything he had.

In that moment, the Newton who ran around during the game like an official Auburn mascot on a cheerleading scholarship was no longer around. This was a different person, and not the character of himself that Newton plays for the crowds and the cameras. It was the version of Newton that few get to see, or at least the side of the man who so many people refuse to acknowledge.
