The Auburnist aren't in anger, they in the retribution stage. God be not bemused, the prairies are burning and the wrath of the ncaa will soon be upon them. Couldnt happen to a better bunch of cheats and crooks. They have been doing it longer and think they have their angles covered, but this is divine retribution, blaspheming the almighty, and there is no way out for them!

I actually tweeted the author and said great article, but no one credible like chaz and Dan have provided any proof to get to process #1...
I was hoping to get a hint on who the story is about by his answer. Nothing yet and know he won't.

And you're part of the agenda. You REALLYthink everyone is that blind? That they can't see the smell emanating from the cesspool down on the prairies? You think we dont know what the thugs that run your school and this state are up to? Retribution sucks, doesn't it? But is here! And the wole country is gonna know what the Auburnist agenda really is and what kind of filth run it!

2. Anger
Perhaps the best stage to observe from afar, this is where fan bases turn on the media. With the rise of blogs, it has been fascinating to see fans pick apart stories line-by-line in the hope of finding mistakes, figuring out bias on behalf of the writers or even accusing a rival school of being behind it all. The absolute best is when the local media starts to dig into a school and then they get thrown into the lot of organizations who are only coming after a school because they were successful.
Typical responses from fans: "They're out to get us." "It's not fair!" "It's all the media's fault!" And "This can't happen to us."
What it means: Though there is a little bit of denial, fans have at least moved on and recognized that their program probably did something wrong (but it's nothing like what the media has described). As a wise, green Star Wars character once said, "Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering." Such is the case when a school commits a major NCAA infraction.
Fan bases in this stage: Auburn. Say something about Cam Newton on Finebaum then sit back, listen and you'll understand. Plenty of Ohio State fans are still hovering in the anger stage.

Im glad you think its funny. You know what else is funny? God taking his vegance! The cotton isnt over everyone eyes, despite what your pals want us to think. We're not stupid, and soon the rest of the country is gonna know wht we already know! The prairies are burning and the rats tht run it are out for everyone to see!
