Word. Great player but he really kills it for me with some of his antics.

The SEC is a circle of hatred. Auburn is also, historically, the dirtiest program in the conference so it's not like these latest allegations are coming from left field or are unprecedented. We've been here before.
Auburn is historically the dirtiest program? I've been alive since 1974 and seen Auburn on probation in football once. ONCE. But, no, Auburn must be guilty because ... nothing to do with bona fide evidence, of course, but because ... because ... why exactly?
Would you use that same logic to argue Princeton is the best college football program? Obviously you wouldn't consider the recent championships won by a Florida or LSU or USC in making that assertion ... we're going to base that judgment on things that happened while the game was developing. Same goes with the Auburn "dirtiest program" argument.

Auburn has been on probation more than any other school in NCAA history, and they're about to add to it.

I just hate Auburn. That's all. I've seen my own program make a run at a national title for three straight years. I hardly see it as jealously, from my perspective.

Awesome, you can repeat the same unoriginal thought as someone else.
By your logic I guess you agree with the analogy that Princeton is a better football program than LSU. That's fair, I guess.

Its not jealousy, I mean sure people take shots at those who are on top but graduates like you don't have anything to be jealous about.

Hay Gen Tso, how are things shaking on ITAT?

Well you said Auburn isn't dirty and you only remember them being on probation once. But I figure that somebody who has been on probation more than anybody in the country is likely the dirtiest program in the conference.

2-i think that hurts the SEC and all of the teams in the league
3-we are the best league in the country and now everyone thinks we are all cheaters
these and the fact that the Auburn staff is just going along like nothing happened, when they could have nipped this in the bud when it came out.
NO ONE BELIEVES CAM NEWTON SHOULD BE ELIGIBLE.
NOT ONE HUMAN ON EARTH.

I've never "liked" Auburn but this whole saga has really changed my perception of that program for the worse.
And not in a "oh they are an SEC West rival" kind of way, it's a "they don't do things the right way over there" way.

Great, I guess, why? Is that supposed to mean something?

I just want an even playing field.
There's just no real glory in winning if you have to cut corners to do so, whether it be playing ineligible athletes or purposefully injuring opposing quarterbacks with illegal hits.

You just put words in my mouth.
I provided an analogy for the "Auburn is the dirtiest program" argument: that Princeton is the best college football program of all time.
It applies the same type of logic, that being because something happened many times in the past it completely trumps more recent events.

So you think Auburn is getting away with something? I don't get it. There has been a huge amount of media pressure in the past week that has uncovered nothing about Auburn. But you wouldn't know that since Auburn has been tried and convicted for Mississippi State's sins.
Second, illegal hits: The one illegal hit yesterday was flagged. Do you think Auburn is getting preferential treatment on hits to the quarterback? There are offensive linemen who block, you know. And you also have defensive linemen who could do the same thing to Auburn quarterbacks. This issue isn't a one-way street like the issue of other fans judging and condemning Auburn for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

Apparently, to boil it down, Auburn isn't behaving the way "other" people think they should behave. And, apparently, it's eating most of you alive.

Your history doesn't go back too far, bro. Clearly everyone knows nothing happened in CFB before 1974.
You picked some arbitrary year of reference to assert your program isn't historically dirty. Nice try though.
I don't think I've ever seen an SEC program take so much heat. I think the cheating has a lot to do with it, but more so from fans' perspectives it has been the smugness and arrogance AU and its fans have been dishing.
