What is your take on this year's Auburn team and their "Tebow-esque", "its a God thing" mentality in their run to the title?

It works.

Very, very annoying. It takes a pretty childish mindset to believe that God is concerned about a bunch of men chasing around a football. Please.

At least Tebow lived what he said.

I think it's pretty sketchy. Especially since everyone in the United States thinks they have cheated.
However, Chizik probably doesn't mean anything by it.
Most people just have a problem with Cam Newton and other dirty players bc it seems like they are huge hypocrites.

If you compare what they say to the way they act on the field you will most likely notice that their Born-Again thing is a bunch of horse shite. Christians aren't supposed to act like thugs.

It's fine to talk it, but it looks terrible when you talk it and don't walk it and the most public Auburn players certainly don't seem to walk it. So, in a couple of words, it looks like hypocritical bullshite.

Look at all the professional Christians who think they know what God plays a part in.

I just find it funny that people like Chizik say stupid shite about having God behind them as if God is up there choosing sides and just decided to say, "frick the rest of the world. I'm backing my man The Chiz." Just seems so silly to say stupid shite like that.

Fairley and Smith especially showed this on the field.

I think it's dumb, but I don't have a very high opinion of Christianity or Auburn football to begin with.

Please don't compare Tebow and his works to these arse-clowns.

All I know is that Eric Smith prally leads a Bible study every wed night.

It's one of the more ignorant things of all-time. Saying that the Clemson win was a "God-thing" as absurd as it was to imply that God wanted Auburn to win, it wasn't nearly as ridiculous as saying "God was with us" in an on-field interview with ESPN after Monday's game. How ignorant does Chizik have to be to think God cares about who wins a football game? Much less, that he wanted Auburn to win and by being with Auburn, was clearly against Oregon.

It is a recruiting tool. Nothing more. The AU recruiting MO has been for years to promote a Christian family atmosphere on the recruiting trail. It works for some parents and others see through the BS as is evident by the recent quotes coming from Lattimore's mother and that Louisiana lineman's grandmother.
Hopefully most of you have heard the Finebaum interview with Tony Franklin where he described the religious atmosphere under Tuberville as suffocating and extremely hypocritical.

Complete horseshite.

I actually didn't mind it with Tebow because he actually seems genuine about his faith. Cam Newton and Gene Chizik on the other hand

my dad roomed with tebow's dad at uf and western seminary out in oregon... the newtons are in no way shape or form even close to tebow-esque. in fact they are the epitome of scum and pretty much the exact stereotype of a shady southern preacher.

If Cam Newton had the reputation of Tebow then I think it would be great.
But I think every time Cam invokes God's name that God is in heaven saying "hey dude, I'd like you to keep me as far away from that as possible"
