re: Why are most SEC fans so angry at Auburn?

"Family" + "God thing" + most publicized potential cheating scandal in recent memory involving a star player that blows kisses to his worshipful congregation before snaps isn't a recipe for sympathy.

What would we be jealous of?

The fact that we can't make posts as bad as his always seem to be.

Mostly because ... the SEC has won the last four national championships and established itself fairly as the premier football conference in the country.

Now the Barners have severely tarnished all that--and it's going to get a lot worse.

Previously, they were just another SEC rival.

Now, I can't say "frick you, Auburn!" enough.

Add to that: Fairley is a piece-of-shite, cheap-shotting thug. That premeditated head spear on Murray should have gotten him suspended for the season.

Add to that: Another corrupt, hypocritical "Gimme the money!" fundamentalist preacher with an arrogant kid--and they both think they're above the law ...

The whole thing makes me hate the fricking Barners with a passion now.

But mostly because they've tarnished the rest of us--the entire SEC by association.

Yes, I do hope this leads to Auburn being kicked out of the SEC.

Being from Texas I am good friends with individuals who played at major Big 12 programs, they have made it quite clear that it is the norm. Its just like no one believes that their players are dealing with agents but yet a big time agent said earlier this year, "there isn't a big time player in the country who isn't being taken care of."

This. The NCAA is like the prim and proper church lady that gets caught having a wild night out. Hypocrisy at its finest.

Basically the entire nation now thinks that this incredible run we have had as a conference was due to bought players....that is why I hate them so much. The nation now thinks that LSU, Florida and Bama's titles are all trash even though we have nothing to do with this scandal.

The Nick Fairley stuff and stealing players that would have otherwise gone to other SEC schools is just additional reasons to hate them.

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.

Ok this I disagree strongly with. It wasn't just a one game deal. Fairley body slammed Lee in our game, the qb from Clemson, hell I would just go on record to say he's made a dirty hit on every qb he's faced.

It would be one thing if the qb has the ball, but they have already thrown it - and then Fairley takes the late shot at them.

Anytime an LSU defender has done something to commit a personal foul, I have never condoned it nor has 99% of the LSU fanbase. One strong criticism we LSU fans have had about Miles is the lack of control/discipline of some of our players at crucial times in the past (Kentucky 2007, Arkansas 2008, Ricky Jean Francois shooting off his mouth about Florida in 2008, etc).

But some of you Auburn fans cheer and applaud it as though you are at a "wrasslin" match.

This is the part where I draw the line and realize I'm not arguing with college football fans but I'm dealing with trash (if you think Fairley is doing the right thing).

A sinner I can tolerate, a hypocrite I can't. Auburn pretends to be a "family" adhering to the "Auburn Creed". I would be less angry if Auburn admitted they are a football factory, as is most of the SEC.
