I wouldn't necessarily expect an Alabama fan to care about accuracy, but just in case you weren't completely biased, I thought you might want to know about a slight inconsistency I found in your timeline:

quote:

Nov 4th, Bond releases statement “During the 2009 football season, I was contacted by a former football teammate, who
represented to me that he was speaking for the Newton camp. He told me that Cam Newton wanted to play at Mississippi State, but that a specified payment would have to be made. I reported the conversation to the Mississippi State Ath letic Department. I was told by the Athletic Department that Mississippi State would not respond to the overture that was made to me, and that Mississippi State would continue to recruit Cam Newton as it does any other football recruit.”

• MSU: "We are comfortable that representatives of Mississippi State University's interests conducted themselves appropriately and in compliance with all NCAA by-laws. Mississippi State is committed to operating our athletics programs within the rules of the NCAA and Southeastern Conference, and we expect those affiliated with our program to continue to do the same." • Cecil Newton, the quarterback's father, denied the allegations to ESPN.com. "If Rogers tried to solicit money from Mississippi State, he did it on his own, without our knowledge," he told the website.

• Chizik: "I'm standing up here on a very important week trying to defend something that quite frankly is garbage," Chizik told reporters. "Is there a wizard behind the curtain? I don't know. Is there one, is there two, are there 10? I don't know and I don't care. But what I do care about is coming to the defense of not only a great football player but a great human being who comes from a great family."

Nov 8th, Foxsports.com reports that Newton was caught cheating three times at Florida.

Gene Chizik called the Foxsports.com reports of cheating garbage at a press conference on Nov. 8... You have him saying them on Nov. 4.
