NEW: Discuss this topic in the Google+ community for SEC fans.
In years past it has been called the true national championship. In 2010 it is undefeated against unheralded, it is number one versus number just glad to be here, and it is the greatest player in the country against the former greatest coach in the country. All eyes will be on Atlanta this Saturday and the University of South Carolina is set to achieve the improbable against number one ranked Auburn.
There is no debate. The SEC is the best football conference in the country and has won five of the last seven national championships. I am not a fan of the BCS and I believe there should be a playoff, but I also believe if you go undefeated through the SEC you are without question the best team in football. Auburn is a solid football team with one player who simply elevates them into greatness. As much as ESPN, CBS, and Urban Meyer do not want to admit it, Cameron Newton is the greatest college football player of the last decade or so (Sorry Tebow). Forget the negative press and all of the suspicious rumors, Newton is the reason Auburn is undefeated and has willed them to victory in almost every game. However, I am a fan and proud alumni of the University of South Carolina, so sorry Mr. Newton; your triumphant dominance ends Saturday.
It is not hard to imagine South Carolina escaping the Georgia Dome with a win Saturday night. For one, USC has everything to gain Saturday while Auburn has everything to lose. Auburn is playing to get to the national title game and South Carolina is attempting to cap off their dream season with another first time in school history achievement. The Gamecocks will play with no reservations and take the hit to Auburn. For South Carolina, this is their National championship, it is do or die, it is the Sugar Bowl or the whatever bowl, and the players will leave all they have out on that field. The University of South Carolina has waited 18 years for this game, and losing has not and will not enter their minds.
Remember folks, it has only been a little over two months since the Gamecocks went into Jordan-Hare Stadium, built a 20-7 lead, had a six point lead in the 4th quarter, and let it all slip away with four crucial turnovers in the final 15 minutes of play. Stephen Garcia threw for over 300 yards and three touchdowns and Alshon Jeffery torched the tigers with nine catches for 192 yards. There was even the dropped pass in the end zone to end the game. The Gamecocks went toe to toe with Auburn for four quarters; they just couldn’t overcome the self imposed mistakes. I will give credit to Mr. Newton as he accounted for all five of Auburn’s scores. In game one, Cam Newton and the University of South Carolina beat the University of South Carolina.
So therein lies the question, how does a team stop, contain, or inhibit Cameron Newton. There really isn’t an answer, but after watching him throughout the season, the only hope is to stop the run. If South Carolina is to win Saturday it is because McCalebb, Dyer, and Newton could not run the ball effectively. The Gamecocks will have to force Auburn into 3rd and long situations, and pray Newton makes a mistake. In Auburn’s game last week against Alabama, the tide blitzed heavily, and did not allow any Auburn player, including Newton, to get comfortable in the backfield. If my name is Ellis Johnson, I take a page out of Saban’s book and try to replicate Alabama’s first half performance. On offense, South Carolina must be able to run the ball. In game one, Auburn made a point to stop Marcus Lattimore and they did a very good job of it. The passing game is going to be available, Auburn’s pass defense has been vulnerable all season, but Cam Newton cannot score if Cam Newton is not on the field (although in regards to Newton, anything is possible). If South Carolina can control possession by sustaining drives and finding the end zone, their chances of a monumental upset will improve dramatically. Last but not least, South Carolina will have to play a perfect game in regards to penalties and turnovers. If the Gamecocks do not turn the ball over, and penalties are limited, then South Carolina will be in New Orleans for a little taste of sugar.
Steve Spurrier is back to where he belongs. Some will argue that Spurrier’s home is in Gainesville, but a real historian knows his true residence is the SEC championship game now played in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. Spurrier was the SEC east champion nine times at Florida, and has a 3-1 record in the Georgia Dome as the representative from the east. The Ol’ Ball Coach will make his celebrated return to those familiar sidelines Saturday and that visor just might be refilled with that dominating magic we all witnessed in the 1990’s. Gene Chizik is a good football coach, but he is not a proven champion yet. Spurrier has been here before, he knows what it takes, and he knows how to win. The Gamecocks will pull out all the stops Saturday night, and there could not be a better spot for Spurrier to climb back on top.
The regular season is over and all eyes have now shifted to Atlanta. The most heralded and respected conference championship game will kick off at 4:00 Saturday afternoon, and the country will be watching as the best player from the west, takes on the best team from the east. Can South Carolina overcome and topple the mountain that is Cameron Newton? People said Mt. Everest could never be defeated, and people said South Carolina would never win the SEC East, never is a strong word, but only just a word. The Gamecocks have their long awaited shot, and I have no doubt they will take it. 39 – 33 Gamecocks, someone call bourbon street, let em’ know who’s coming!

Good luck this weekend!
AU beat USC once this year and they are acutally a BETTER team now than they were then! I think AU will dominate most of this game! AU’s defense held Bama to 3 points in the second half of the Iron Bowl, and USC has nowhere near the D line that Bama has, so there will be no containing AU’s offense! there IS more than 1 player on our offense and they will SHINE! War Eagle!!
You are delusional….
Auburn is NOT better than they were earlier in the year, just luckier…
34-17 USC if Auburn even score 17..
No, I think YOU are delusional! HA!! WAR EAGLE!! LUCK?? That’s insane!
For one I think both teams are better than they were in september. and yes I never said there was only one player on your offense, I was claiming that without Newton you are not undefeated. Should be a great game with offensive fireworks
“losing has not and will not enter their minds.”
1. Baloney
2. Their delusion isn’t a ticket to a win.
War Damn Eagle
Julia Gulia,
Be realistic… Auburn is not a National Championship Caliber team… they have Cam big deal….
USC will shut him down and even if they don’t completely contain him, then just like the Florida Game and just like the game at Jordan Hare, they will score plenty of points to beat your precious little “war Eagles”
Auburn is going to the Orange bowl
Gamecock fans have no understanding of good football because they have never seen it. They are all just bigmouth idiots.
Now that’s some funny and delusional thinking in that article. If you think Auburn isn’t going to leave everything on the field, then you obviously didn’t watch the Iron Bowl. Spurrier’s time has passed, and he’s only in South Carolina because he likes the golf and he has a chance to coach someplace where expectations are low. Garcia will fall apart again, just like he did the first time, under Auburn’s pass rush (for more evidence see: McElroy, Greg). And if you think Auburn is a one-man team, then you haven’t been paying attention, either. It was our defense that kept Bama out of the end zone the entire second half last Saturday, and allowed our offense to turn the game around. Gamechickens will go down in flames again. WAR EAGLE!!!
Jamie,
As a proud Gamecock I have to tell you that I am under no false assumption that South Carolina is a better football team than Auburn. You don’t run through the SEC, and specifically this year, the SEC West, unless you are an awesome team. That being said, the reason Alabama didn’t win the game last week was because of Alabama. They couldn’t get out of their own way from the 2nd quarter on. Other than the awesome play by Fairley when he forced and recovered the fumble, most of Bama’s mistakes were unforced (see dropped TD pass and penalties).
I don’t expect South Carolina to win this game, but if they do, it won’t be a huge upset. It will be a very good, very close game in my opinion. Spurrier is far from done. He knows what he is doing, and has shown this year that with the players he needs, he can exploit just about any defense.
Win or lose, you need to enjoy the hell out of this game, because Auburn is about to enter a dark period in it’s football program with serious sanctions and embarrassment on the way.
Game on.
“Based on the information available to the reinstatement staff at this time, we do not have sufficient evidence that Cam Newton or anyone from Auburn was aware of this activity…” So says the NCAA in “reinstating” Cam to play.
I guess you’re incorrect about the future.
you go, Julia!! tell it!! – NO sanctions!! & NO forfeiture of games!! ha!
You need to pull your head out of the sand. Auburn’s problems are much greater than Cam Newton. the reason your current coach is there is because your crooked BOT bigwigs knew he was in their pocket when he was an assistant. “At this time” are the key words in the NCAA’s statement. Trouble is coming. If only 25% of what has been alleged is true, this is on the same level as Clemson and SMU in the 80s.
You forgot the rest of the statement where it says, “at this time.”
Cam is guilty don’t worry, whether he was provided with illegal atm cards for use at the local bingo parlor (pre loaded of course) or whether he had knowledge of his father’s activities… we all know that there’s an Auburn cover up… I say who cares?
USC will outscore Auburn easily this game as they have matured and have everything to gain by beating the WDE’s.. Auburn has gained this sick sense of entitlement making them believe they are already the National Champions, when if fact they will only be the Orange Bowl home team…
34 -17 Cam newton rushes for less than 100 yards and throws at least 2 interceptions…
Julia is another homer … the NCAA was forced by Auburn to reinstate Cam because their investigation is incomplete and are unable to lawfully say he is ineligible. Thus the reinstatement and continuation of the investigation. It’s not over, but I hope he gets to play Saturday so we can beat them 35-24 with sCam Newton playing.
If I am not mistaken Auburn has the most SEC players of the week this year. We have a true freshman running back who is ranked 8th in the SEC in rushing, we have soon to be all American Nick Fairley.
People wish that Auburn was a one man team, but the fact remains if it were not for the running ability of Newton, Darvin Adams would be an all SEC receiver again this year, but the run game has been so potent he has not got as many reception.
It is ignorant to think that Auburn is a one man team. Yes we may not be sitting where we are if Newton was not a part of our team, but the fact remains that he is a player on our team, and even if we did not have him we would still be one of the top 25 teams in the nation and could still very easily be in the SEC championship game.
WDE
I agree with Julia…losing has not and will not enter Auburn’s minds.
War Damn Eagle.
And who will have the bigger fan base at the GA Dome Saturday? Guaran-Darn-Tee you it will be the crowd in orange and blue…..FAMILY! And we won’t let losing enter our minds, either! War Eagle!
and the sky will probably end up being orange and blue, too. LOL
It usually does – just ask the folks at “Jordan-Hare West” – the rain clouds parted & there was a
beautiful orange & blue sunset just as the game was ending – & I could swear I heard “Satan”
screaming as he jumped up & down – “God must be a TIGER too – cause the sun is orange &
the sky is blue”!! lmao!! WDE!!
I live in the west, so the Utah/BYU rivalry is bigger here, but I did have an encounter with a Bama fan who tried to make the same point about Auburn being a one-man team. He said “you know, if Auburn didn’t have Cam Newton, they wouldn’t be the same team.” Captain Obvious swooped in at that very moment and kicked the Bama fan in the back of the head. Uh, huh, and if any team didn’t have their star player, that team would be different. BUT guess what? Auburn DOES have Cam, and plenty of other great players as well. No amount of fantasizing about Auburn without good players will change the fact that AUBURN IS NUMBER ONE.
@ Julia: you are so right & I’m thinking that it was Greg McElroy that Captain Obvious hit in the back of the head, right?? lol!
I will part of the wave of orange and blue to hit the GA dome on Saturday!! War Eagle!! We have not and will not let losing enter our minds. We are out to show the Nation we are the best and for once no one will be able to take it away from us!! We are the AUBURN TIGERS!! We are #1 and we will stay there. Gamecocks for dinner on Saturday and some Duck on the menu in January!! WDE
The point of my article is not that auburn would be bad without Newton, the point is that b/c of Newton you are undefeated.
But the title of the piece is “He vs We.”
If you were blogging about the Pac 10 you would not say that Oregon is undefeated because of LaMichael James.
Nick Fairley is the best defensive tackle since Glenn Dorsey, and to be honest I would argue that he is a more dominate D tackle.
You can not say what Auburn would or would not be without Cam. Yes he is the best player in the nation, but Onterio McCalebb averages 8.5 yards a carry, and Dyer is averaging over 6.0.
Without Newton both of those guys would be thousand yard rushers and we would be passing more which would probably make Adams a thousand yard receiver
OK – HE may be the glue that sticks our team together – but WE will still beat SC again Sat!!
Those 4 turnovers in the 4th qtr of the last game just happened all by themselves, I guess,
since you seem to think that WE didn’t have anything to do with it! (think – 30 yd. forward
fumble & ask the last year’s Heisman winner about that) That’s like UA saying THEY gave
the game to us.. … (see McElroy, Ingram, “Satan”, etc.) OUR defense makes these fumbles
& interceptions happen – they don’t just happen by osmosis. WE also have some very good
receivers that catch those beautiful passes that HE throws….. So, I guess what I am saying,
is it takes a TEAM to win a ballgame, not just a HE. Although, I am glad that HE is on AUBURNS’s
side & not yours!! Auburn wins it – AUBURN 34 – SC 24 — WAR DAMN EAGLE!!
Actually thos 4 turnovers did just happen because of poor ball handling by Garcia and one poorly thrown pass by a true freshman quarterback.. the second interception was a fluke but who cares… you needed to come from behind 75% of the time this season but you won’t be able to do it again…
USC 34 – Auburn (if they’re lucky) 17
Who says AU will HAVE to come from behind this time?
@ Auburn 17 (if they’re lucky) – roflmfao!! can you say 56 points!! We kicked your ass!! SC was the one getting “lucky” to get the 17 points!! you had it ass-backwards!!
Bama was number 1 and undefeated before 10/9/10…. just saying that I wouldn’t base a Auburn win on that. I have always heard its more difficult to beat the same team twice in the same season. I look for the Gamecocks to play a very good game and be worthy of coming away with another win!!!
You’ve always heard that it’s more dificult to beat the same time twice in the same season. I’ve heard that same comment numerous times. But, when you actually look at the stats in the SECCG, it is totally the opposite. Only once, I believe, has the team that won the first game not won the rematch.
Even in victory the little brother obsesses on the big brother. The Auboogers will enjoy their year, they are only focused on Bama. They HAVE NEVER been at this point as a football team or as a fan base and even if they scrape by CSS and the Gamecocks… Armageddon awaits them on the BCSNCG! QUACK!
bammer is over & done with…. they were just a little blip on Auburn’s radar this year – lmao!!
on to bigger & better things…… what, oh…. you are pissed because your team has 3 losses
this year…. ya’ll can’t stand it since Auburn is better than you!!! instead of admitting to a defeat –
from a better team & that’s what it was & is…… ya’ll would rather stand around & whine & cry
about “the way things used to be”! & your at least 45 (now, isn’t it?) alleged nc’s. lmao!
Oh & P.S. – even if we do get beat these last 2 games, we still beat the hell out of you!!!!!! War Damn Eagle!!
You have just proven the point I made! QUACK
7 wins against Alabama in the last 10 seasons. Who is the little brother exactly?
War Damn Eagle.
NEVER BEEN THIS FAR BEFORE….I REMEMBER A 13 – 0 AUBURN TEAM …2004 ?? UNDER T TUBERVILLE THAT NEVER HAD THE CHANCE TO PLAY FOR NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP…SO MUCH FOR RESPECT OF THE SEC THEORY…THE BCS SYSTEM WILL SCREW SOMEONE EACH YEAR…..ON A REGULAR BASIS……….IT IS FATALLY FLAWED BECAUSE MONEY TALKS………FAIRNESS WALKS…….
I’M A AUBURN FAN BUT THE LAST TWO GAMES DON’T CAM LOOK A LITTLE TIRED AND BEAT UP
I AM A HOG FAN….CAM WILL BE OK…..IF HE IS 50% OF WHAT HE WAS AGAINST ARKANSAS…..AUBURN WILL HAVE NO PROBLEM…..AND HOGS WILL BE IN SUGARLAND……….THE CRITICS AND MEDIA BASHING HIM AND AUBURN WOULD BE STRESSFUL 4 ANYONE………THE OLD BALL COACH IS GONNA GET TORCHED….HE AIN’T AT FLORIDA NO MORE……HE SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE WRITING ON THE WALL WHEN THE HOGS DOMINATED THE GAMECOCKS……AUBURN WILL TAKE CARE O BIZ…….
Tiger Burn #2 will happen on Saturday. We took care of Clemson last wknd and now AU, your’re up! We will be there with the rest of the Gamecock Nation, Garnet & Black and all. It is our year sweetened with “SUGAR”! Go Cocks and look forward to seeing everyone in Atlanta. Have a great time and enjoy the game!
BREAKING NEWS PEOPLE!!!! IT’S OVER!!! The NCAA has ruled that Cecil Newton violated an NCAA bylaw in their recruitment of him, but that neither Auburn University nor Cam Newton did anything wrong. Auburn will face no sanctions, will vacate no wins and Cam Newton is fully eligible to continue playing at Auburn University!!!
http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2010/12/ncaa_rules_auburns_cam_newton.html
That should read in “Mississippi State’s recruitment of him”.
Andrew,
You say that you are a graduate of USC, but did USC actually require you take any type of math.
You give all of these reasons why USC probably, almost, maybe, hopefully, kinda, sorta shoulda won the game. The biggest reason you mention is that USC self destructed in the 4th quarter with 4 turnovers.
OK, pay close attention and take off the shoes and socks because we are going to do a little math. Auburn gave you guys 2 turnovers in the 1st quarter on their side of the field. USC scored 2 touchdowns off of those turnovers.
2 x 7 = 14
At the least it is a 14 point swing. Take away those 14 points and we win handily.
Lets suppose, we scored on the drives that we fumbled away.
2 x 7 = 14
OK. With me so far. You and your fellow USC fans should be up to your 10 fingers and 4 toes on your left foot.
If you take away (subtraction in simple math lingo) the 14 points you scored off of our turnovers, and add (simple math lingo as well) the 14 points we sure as hell were going to score had we not fumbled the ball away. That is a 28 point swing in the first half alone.
14 + 14 = 28 points (if you need additional fingers and toes, get your duncle or maunt to lend you theirs)
A 28 point change in the score and that sure as hell is a blow out.
By now you are trying to figure out how I know we were going to score on those drives when we fumbled to you, I used your logic.
BTW, when will number 11 (in the picture you posted) be suspended. He is a dirty player. Far dirtier than Fairley. That dirty, trashy, cheating bastard is leading with his helmet trying to tackle our quarterback.
Call Rogers Redding and get that sum bitch suspended.
BTW, when we score 30 or more points our record is phenomenal (means very good) . I believe we are undefeated. So if we score more than 30 points as you predict, we win. Again this is using your logic.
What does any of this have to do with the game Saturday? Absolutely nothing.
AMEN to that — & LMAO!!
take your 28 in the first half … if SC doesn’t fumble it 4 times and scores on all 4 of those possessions by his and your logic, then 7X4 = 28, + 6 that we scored without the help of your fumbles … that’s 34 (stil with me?) … lmao … either way it would’ve been a close game at the end regardless of fumbles or not … Alshon dropped a pass that 9/10 times he would’ve caught in the endzone … you won by 8 points and had 634 total yds, SC had under 300 yds total offense … hmmm
And we missed 2 field goals. 2 x 3 = 6.
So we win by 14.
And I have stated previously, that it does not matter to the outcome if this game.
Maybe you should take your own advice and take your shoes and socks off and do the same counting with turnovers by Alabama and you get your stinking ass blowed out of BDS!!!
GO COCKS!
Blutotiger –
It’s called football, turnovers worth both ways. Fact of the matter is, Gamecocks had a chance in the 4th, but blew it. Some mistakes were self inflicted, some defense induced.
On Cam’s long TD run, if he hadn’t broke that first tackle…blah, blah….it’s football. Most of the time one’s team success and another team’s failure are synonymous.
To say that you guys should have blown us out is ridiculous. If you think you guys win by 28 points, you are delusional.
Is reading comprehension a requirement to get into USC? I’m guessing no.
I was using the logic of the blogger. He insinuates that it was all USC’s failing that lead to the loss. He says nothing about any of the negative plays by Auburn. Including the 2 turnovers that gave USC a short field which allowed USC to score 2 TDs.
No where do I say that we will win by 28, by 2 or even that we will win. The last line of my post says it all. No specific plays in that game will have any effect on this game. Maybe knowledge gained by coaches/players will effect the game, but that is the only thing from last game that will have any issue on this game.
Why do you feel the need to belittle people and the education they might have recieved at USC? Can your point not be made without personal criticism.
Both teams are good football teams, otherwise they wouldn’t be playing this game. I personally think SC pulls out a close one. Go Cocks!
Red Jeep,
I apologize. My original post was meant to be sarcastically funny, but the second post was a reply to a jack wad.
He obviously only read what he wanted to read because he wanted to respond. How dare someone actually make reference using facts that happened in the 1st game that showed but sides of the coin.
I love USC. I love Columbia. My wife has her Masters from there. My first child was born in Richland Memorial. My wife’s OB/GYN saved my sons life the day he was born. During the first game, my son wore his Gamecock shirt with pride to the game while I wore my AU shirt. As a matter of fact, it was his favorite Christmas present from last year.
I must be delusional thinking we would win by 28.
How does 32 sound?
I agree, it is Litterally He (Cam) vs We (S. Car.) but the we simply don’t have what it takes to contain he. Heck they don’t even have what it takes to contain Kentucky! The only reason USC is on the map at all is because they beat bama, and after looking at the rest of Bama’s season there is no way they were at their 100%. If USC manages to injure Newton then rumors of foul play will spread like wildfire, but USC will win the game. Auburn would be nowhere (possibly bowlless) without Cam Newton.
While reading these comments It has become very apparient that most of you prolly never played a down of football in your entire lives and don’t have a clue of what your talking about. Football is a game of match-ups and circumstances. Nobody knows who will win, thats why they play the games. So stop trying to best the last guys comment on the internet and just watch the game.
Having said that it is my opinion that SC wins by 10 or more and I’m glad Cam is playing, because if he didnt, that would be the excuse. Good luck to all!!
Yes I pray that he gets to play … all we need is a bunch of Auburn fans talking about how the SEC, ESPN, and the NCAA doesn’t like them and that Newton should’ve been able to play … then they will use it as an excuse as to why they lost … boooring …
First of all, Go ‘Cocks–Beat Auburn! Secondly, to the person named BlutoTiger: How dare you have the audacity to insinuate the intelligence of South Carolinians? I can safely assume that my intelligence quotient is much higher than yours! Is correct grammar and punctuation taught at Auburn or wherever your alma mater may be? I think not.
That being said, the game previously played in September no longer matters. Each team has developed strongly throughout the course of the season. Why waste your talents as a “smart ass” over such trivial nonsense and start immersing yourself in the fact that South Carolina has a legitimate chance at winning the SEC championship? Oh, wait! I know! Fear is something that cannot be fully rationalized by logic. Since you only comprehend “logic”, let me dissect this for you in a format you can understand.
When South Carolina plays Auburn, Auburn becomes scared of losing.
SCAR = FEAR
We shall see on Saturday.
Gamecocks win 35-24 with sCam Newton playing, without him 42-14
New headline Saturday after the game : Gamecocks Stifle Newton, Sugar Never Tasted so Sweet
There seem to be alot of people that have more information than the NCAA, so please by all means share it so this can be resolved once and for all. Otherwise your sour grapes are just that, take your ball and go home since you didn’t get the answer you wanted. I for one am grateful I don’t have to be responsible for all my relatives less than perfect choices. It in fact does happen to real people.
At the beginning of the season teams all have the same record, 0-0, it takes the coaches, players and play calls and performance to put each team where they are in the end. Cam Newton did not score every point for Auburn this year, it required others to catch passes, take handoffs, blocks on the line so Cam wouldn’t be on his back play after play and a defense that kept other offenses from running up the other teams score.
If you always want to be on top then you need to get out of the SEC. I hear there are conferences out west that have a one team show. I for one think that the fact that we have such of large group of teams that consistently play to the top should speak volumes about football in the south. Be a real fan of the game and understand for the SEC to remain on top it requires sharing the spotlight, everyone will have their year, it just wasn’t your turn this time.
Man, some of these Auburn fans sound like the crybaby Alabama fans I hear all the time. Every team has them, you know, the delusional zealots that will go on and on about how their team is the greatest and all. All in all, I like Auburn and the fans. Mostly classy people. I also see a whole lot of “we” going on when most of the “we” people are just like me, sitting on their arse watching the game and flapping their gums and have nothing to do with the success of the warriors out on the gridiron. We all know Auburn is a great TEAM and is prognosticated to win, but USC is very capable of beating Auburn. The question is, will they? IF USC shows up on both sides of the ball, this will be a good game. Cam Newton is a great football player and as they say, a difference maker. Without him, Auburn would have probably lost a game or two. That doesn’t make the rest of the team suck because they don’t. Lots of talent in Auburn. Conversely, USC without Lattimore wouldn’t be where they are. Still there are definitely some skill players at USC too. Here is an interesting comparison, Clemson came the closest to beating Auburn and look what USC did to Clemson.. What does it mean? It’s all in the past and “what ifs” are irrelevant. I am hoping for a good game and being a Gamecock, I pull for the Garnet and Black attack!!
Ironman – there may be a little grain of truth to what you are saying – hurts a little to admit, but I, for one, as an Auburn fan this season, have felt the need to defend Auburn (& yes, Cam, too!!) to mostly the bammer fans you mentioned – maybe a little more zealously than usual – because they have been lambasted by every media source in the country & maligned by everyone else in the country & we can’t even sit back & enjoy what should be a wonderful year for the Auburn family, for baseless rumors & innuendo flying around (& around & around). So we may be a little “touchy” right about now — (I guess innocent until proven guilty has never been heard of by most of these people.) Thank God Cam has been cleared to play in the SECCG & I bear no ill will toward USC – yes, they are a GREAT team or they wouldn’t be there!! & I love Spurrier – But Please don’t compare Auburn fans to Alabama fans as we have had to listen to them for many years & don’t want to be perceived like that!! And as for the game tomorrow, This is most anxious I have felt this year over a game….. but may the best team win…. I just hope it is the orange & blue one!!
LETS GET REAL /SC HAS NO BIZ PLAYING 4 ANY KIND OF CHAMPIONSHIP ………..AUBURN 42 – S CAROLINA 20………..AUBURN WILL WIN BY AT LEAST 20 PTS…..OR MORE….SC FANS WAKE UP/ U R DREAMIN….AND IT IS GONNA BE A BAD BAD DREAM / CAM NEWTON…….GO HOGS GO…TO DE SUGAR BOWL !!!
