re: Not looking good for Auburn...

Beatbammer: This is way off topic, but I've been wondering: Is the girl on the right in your avi Shannon Bailey?
Zack Smith went to my alma mater, although many years after me. He's the only one though, so he's like a hometown hero.
as physically gifted as Newton is, (and we thought we'd never see better than Tebow)isn't he at least a little cringe-worthy to AU fans? I realize y'all will be more 'twitterpated' because he was your QB, with Heisman, NCG, etc, but he is a bit egotistical & douchey. I wouldn't want to admit it if he played for Bama, but I would think it.

I did not mean that I wouldn't want to admit he played for Bama. I meant that if he DID play for Bama, I WOULD NOT WANT TO ADMIT that I think he has a big ego & acts douchey sometimes. In other words, I think most fans gloss over personality stuff if it's a great player for "their" team.

I know I will regret posting at all. However, as physically gifted as Newton is, (and we thought we'd never see better than Tebow)isn't he at least a little cringe-worthy to AU fans?

Yes, and I got my MSN-CRNP from Walmart.com. I meant no offense to anybody's education. I was illustrating a point.
I never said he didn't play for AU. If it came across that way, I wasn't clear or you misinterpreted.
That is your opinion. I respect that. I didn't say he is a douche. Perhaps I wasn't clear, but I was referring to some of his off-field behavior which is what the OP was about.
It doesn't. I never said otherwise. A scholly athlete buying textbooks for a friend is not in the ballpark with a P4P solicitation, but you already knew that.
I wasn't referring to Cam's reading comprehension. He took all those erudite AU online classes. I meant yours.
How does athletes from several sports using their scholly book allowance to buy books for friends = cheating? I grant you it was wrong, but I fail to see the on field advantage.
I'm sorry you didn't score very high on Reading Comprehension on the ACT. I didn't 'diss' Cam, I actually gave him credit for his athletic ability. Perhaps you can Google your nearest Sylvan Learning Center.
Yes, they are. Never said otherwise. But AU fans try to make the textbook thing into Watergate, and it's not.
Ok. I won't debate NCAA rules from the Bryant era compared to now. NCAA was in it's infancy, so things were vastly different. As far as Joe Willie, he was a gifted player with a huge ego. His arse stayed in hot water often with Coach Bryant.
And Bama is every bit as dirty as Auburn is

The thing is, there was a time when that was true (although IMO not to the degree of what AU is doing now). Bama manned up, took their medicine, and got their shite straight. AU insists on acting like a virgin on her wedding night.

You and the other AU fans on this thread have done little other than flame me. I commented on this thread with no intention to flame. I was asking a sincere question related to the OP, and gave credit to Newton's talent. If no one can have a legitimate response, that speaks volumes.
My first post in this thread was not intended to be negative,just an objective question. As for ATPB, it's not a given that I believe 100% of what is discussed there. I do believe that AU's football progam is the dirtiest of the dirty, sort of like politicians, none are totally clean.
As far as I can tell, none of the other females on here have had to prove such. My screen name is fanilow & I list my location as Wisteria Lane (from Desperate Housewives). If I were a dude I'd be queer as a $3 bill, and wouldn't be on a sports board anyway.
You've never made a negative post about UofA, Jesus?
DDAubie & NYCAU: Aren't we all adults (allegedly)? Please stop acting like the snobby girl group in the high school cafeteria.
