Well, cam stole a laptop but otherwise didn't seem to have any other issues whatsoever. He made one mistake. Him not stealing any more computers while at AU doesn't really mean AU did anything. And marshall didn't really mature, seeing as how he was detained with weed in the car while at AU.



Well Cam probably didn't actually steal a laptop, but nonetheless. I'll give credit for half of the process, I do think getting kicked out/disciplined in Marshall's situation was what set him up to be welcomed at AU and grow into a leader here.

I don't put the weed thing in the same category as stealing, so I don't know how good of an argument that is. I think he obviously matured, as he was doing little to nothing good at UGA, got kicked out, came to Auburn and overcame some bumps to become both a good player and a solid leader who his coaches and players could depend on.

I think you'd have to be pretty biased not to think Cam and Marshall improved as people while at Auburn. If you don't want to give Auburn credit for it I can live with that, but it's pretty obvious that two dumb young kids grew up during their tenures here.

But what proof is there that they did improve as people WHILE AT auburn? The harsh discipline they received prior to getting to auburn is why they changed their ways. If Marshall had gone to say...NC State after getting kicked out of UGA and kept his nose clean, would it be that they are such great molders of men? Or is it just something about the auburn water that makes people reform?

I've had a DUI before, and I was punished severely. If I was kicked out of the state and had to move to carolina afterwards, and didn't get any more DUIs, it wouldn't be because carolina is so good at molding people. It'd be because I learned from my past mistake and quit getting DUIs. I don't really see any evidence that marshall and cam are better people simply BECAUSE they transferred to auburn.

I'll give auburn, and any school, credit where it's due. I just don't see any definitive evidence that those 2 are better people because of their time in auburn. Better when they left than when they left high school? Sure, of course. But I think that's far more to do with the fact that they received punishemtn and discipline along the way, before getting to auburn.

This is what kills me about UGA. Stealing is 1000x worse than smoking pot. We need to cease fire with the nazi pot BS IMO....but we won't.
