I agree they're crazy. That being said, they're probably right about the cheating too.

Here is the key difference between their breed and the rest of us. They claim to know something that they couldn't possibly know...and while some other form of cheating (payments to Troy Reddick for instance) might have occured, what they have focused on most (Auburn buying Cam for $200K) looks less and less likely. Normal people familiar with the situation only speculate. I personally don't think it happened because of the depth of investigation with zero results..one that the FBI got involved in which no one could have forseen. BUT, if we found out tomorrow that the $ had been found and it came from some rogue booster, McGregor for instance, I would be surprised but not shocked. I think the psychosis breaks down into these simple components. 1. The suggestion of Cecil shopping Cam to MSU but then going to Auburn was so clear, even most of us Auburn fans thought that we were about to get the death penalty. 2. This provided an instant and clear way to discredit Auburn and all of their accomplishments this past year. 3. as time went on and it became less and less likely, the most butt-hurt of rival fans, capable of jedi mind-fricking themselves, could not let go of the original suggestion...and probably never will. I don't have any issue with people suspecting that it might have occured...but KNOWING it occured is delusional and is the product of someone really, really wanting to believe it's true so they can feel better about their team and thus, themselves.
