re: Why are AU Fans so defensive?

With all the smoke, do you think that something shady took place?

If it were another program, say Bama, and there was a lot of speculation and unanswered questions, would you have the same position?

Fair question...we Auburn fans were sure that Josh Chapman's grades were changed to get him qualified and switched to Bama...we were sure that when Barber's Dairy (Bama owned) gave the mother of a player a credit card and didn't notice her $200,000 tab on it until the player had amounted to nothing and graduated and she wanted more, that Bama was complicit. We were sure that there was a pay for play scheme arranged with a few players out of Gadsden....all kinds of smoke for these three and these are only the big ones. After awhile though, it sort of faded away. After awhile, you assume if nothing comes of it (supported by evidence), there probably wasn't anything to begin with.

We have our Blue Tuna's as well that have led us astray. Seems pretty foolish now and really not fair at all.
