You have to start a thread introducing yourself on the OT before you can start threads on the rant.

you didn't understand what I wrote if that's what your response is

failure to find someone guilty can be an OJ acquittal... what Auburn fans should be hoping for is complete exoneration where their innocence is proven instead of guilt is not established

It's pretty damn hard to prove a negative. Most on here will believe AU just got away with it. What proof would you deem sufficient to say that AU has been exonerated?

The FBI saying their investigation turned up nothing.

it will be very difficult for Auburn to completely exonerate themselves because they have allowed Dye, Lowder, and McCrooker to be so intimately involved with their football program

If the NCAA reports they were given full access to all of the financial goings on for Cam, his Dad, and the probable money men then that will have to do... at least if Auburn completely disassociates themselves from them in the future

Not if it's false. I.E. Operation Red Dog.

There's several folks that could be made available to answer questions, but the University won't even allow a whisper and garbage is the only word Chiz seems to know.

The NCAA/SEC just created the loophole.

Please don't insult our intelligence.

They will not be able to control it. This coming national signing day is going to be an EPIC auctioning of HS talent.

Coaches know they will not be able to control it and you can bet there will be a ton of commitment switching going on up to NSD.

Wednesday, December 1, 2010 was BLACK WEDNESDAY for CFB.

Thanks Auburn.

You really don't think that Auburn or some booster paid this kid? I think it's a given; it's just a matter of finding where the money was funneled.

So you made your first post for this? You better introduce yourself to the OT so you can come in here and defend your statement.

Many Auburn posters believe they are done being investigated and that only State should be worried.

Cam Newton and AU got off on a technicality. The same way a criminal gets off if a cop doesn't read him his miranda rights, or if a search warrant is improperly executed.


Cam and Auburn were more likely ROR'd with no bail until his pre-trial investigation is completed by the Feds.
