I took such great pleasure in watching Cam rise above the haters and win it all. The guy got screwed by corrupt Alabama media and boosters and I will always remember the smile on my face watching him break it off in Bama’s arse after being down 24-0.

Updyke also took notice and poisoned our trees.

We even got the go ahead to recruit Cam from the NCAA before he signed Bravo sir.


AU fully admitted to the NCAA that they were aware that Cecil asked MSU for money. That part was never in dispute and was part of AU’s defense. The public drew the logical conclusion that if Cecil asked MSU for 180k, he didn’t go to AU for free. I’d actually argue it is the opposite. Cam wanted to go to MSU to play for his old OC Dan Mullen, his Dad screwed that up for him, and he ends up at AU for free.

I need the blue tuna tiger flowchart that documented all of the people and various machinations.

Without it, I can’t follow how it all went down.

I still think this would have been a nonissue had a. Cam not gotten so good so quick and b. had Dan Mullen/Urban Meyer not been total hypocrites and blown the whistle.

Anthony Dixon's uncle got sloppy drunk on Cam's visit to Starkville and was basically running around screaming "frick Cam Newton. He suck. We are sicking with Chris Relf anyways..."

He got enough money that he never resorted to stealing crab legs.

Mark Richt still stands by his belief that Cam would have been a good TE.

I think he got paid as did every star player in that era. I just remember the vicious campaign Bama launched and his payback in that Iron bowl that year. Truly poetic
