re: Christine Brennen of USA Today blasts AU, Cam and Cecil.

Like I said, AU can't force him to stay in his hotel - that's stupid.

But, if I am Jay Jacobs and I said this to the national media-

quote:

---

Jacobs said the decision for Cecil Newton not to attend "was mutually agreed upon. Out of the highest respect that Cecil has for Cameron, he won't be here today."

---

And then the asshat that is Cecil flouted that and showed up anyway?

I would be beyond pissed.

It calls Jacob's credibility into question and reinforces the national impression of Cecil as a guy who just doesn't care what the rules are and as a person who's word isn't worth a damn.

This isn't on Cam and, quite frankly, it isn't on Auburn.

It's on Cecil.

And a guy who has already been proven to be a liar, with his hand out, and someone with little regard for promises and rules would be what should scare AU fans.

That guy is a $200,000 payday from a tell all Barbara Walters interview. Or a book deal.
