Off Week Tidbits.

Excellent explanation of Fairley-play, Acid!!!

War Eagle! Beat Bama!

does not “dirty” make! Besides he got flagged for it.
I said this before, if you watch in slow motion most QB hits in the pocket, they will all look late and intentional.
I wonder what defensive line coaches mean when they tell their players to get the quarterback?

 I think you should give up on football and stick to watching figure skating. You’ll be happier and we won’t have to listen to you cry.

I would like to know how you think Kenneth Carter, and Jeff Whitaker will in their matchups against Bama’s O-line.
Thanks, I’ll hang up so I can listen to your answer….jk

WAR EAGLE!

…..“dirty player” folks were when Brandon Cox was getting turned into a human pretzel every week.

Auburn has played well enough to win the SEC West this year (and I hate having to admit that). As usual though, Auburn continues to find ways to tarnish the image of the SEC. Sure, players from other teams do so as well, but no “team” has consistently put such a negative image up as Auburn has. You’re program is a Stain on the SEC. Always has been. I sincerely hope that changes one day. Until then, you’re just dirty playing/cheating embarrassment to the league.

If my comments are what you refer to as “personal attacks by uneducated, filth ridden redneck trash” communicated by an “ape”, then maybe you should look at your own comments. I was talking about common sentiment toward the Auburn Football Program, and not an individual. If you took is personally, that’s your problem.

Go play intramurals, brother!

had any other player from an opposing team maliciously went after Cam Newton the way Fairley to GA’s QB, they would be screaming bloody murder.

Keep on justifying, though… Oh yeah, and don’t think for one second the entire world of college football didn’t lose a good deal of respect for the SEC for it’s lack of “Give-A-Shit” for a player’s safety.

will no longer be joining us.

When you’re 11-0 I guess everybody likes to pile on when you’re on top.

I am so sick of hearing people lash out at Nick Fairley. He got called for one late hit on Aaron Murray. I don’t understand why UGA fans thought their QB was above being tackled. Its tackle football people.

I am so excited and nervous about this Iron Bowl. I can’t believe it is to keep our chances alive for going to the BCS NCG. What a difference a year can make.

War Eagle! Beat Alabama!

Julio,
Why does he wear his hair like WENDY?

Just how much truth there is to the leak that AU contacted the SEC and the NCAA regarding this money thing after conversations with the Newton’s before Cam signed with AU.

The only thing that is a little hinky is his statement, “It was revealed on the Paul Finebaum show…” I don’t listen to the show so I don’t know how it was revealed. It might just be more gossip. Anyway, it goes to Mississippi State’s self-inflicted recruiting woes (John Lennon’s “Instant Karma” plays in the background.)

Mississippi State Football: The Clouds Gather over a Once Bright Season

It was revealed on the Paul Finebaum radio show that Megan Mullen, wife of head coach Dan Mullen, is the source of some of the infamous leaks in the current NCAA investigation into recruiting at Mississippi State. Between recent statements by Mississippi State boosters John Bond and Bill Bell and Megan Mullen’s leaks it has tightened the noose around the neck of the Mississippi State football program.
It would appear that it is too late to put the worms back in the can, but if Megan Mullen and other leaks were to cease giving the NCAA more information that is damaging to the program, it could be that the final results of this investigation might go easier on her husband’s program.
.
While the Cam Newton side of this investigation has been publicized, speculated, exaggerated and even lied about to the nth degree, the victim that is becoming more and more apparent is going to be the football program at Mississippi State. The obvious violations have been exposed by one leak after another.
.
The only recruiters that are authorized by Mississippi State are coaches. This information was made obvious in statements from Coach Mullenearly on in this process. The Mississippi State football program was made aware of the problems in recruiting Cam Newton in November 2009, yet the program admittedly continued recruiting this player until he signed with Auburn on December 31, 2009.
.
Mississippi State did not report these recruiting problems to the conference when they occurred so that the NCAA and SEC could take appropriate action and protect other institutions involved. They waited until sometime in January and only partially reported the incident.
.
Bell and Bond have admitted to taking part in the recruiting process. In his last statement Bell admits to both being a booster and to multiple contacts with who he thought was a representative of a perspective recruit. This is certainly not allowed in the current NCAA recruiting rules.
.
Fans can assume both Bell and Bond were aware and very familiar with NCAA rules as both were former Mississippi State football players. Why did they consider it OK to discuss cash payments with or about a recruit? It would seem when the subject was first brought up the proper answer was to simply say we can’t discuss such things as it is against NCAA Rules.
.
Kenny Rogers’ lawyer came out with a statement that basically said his client was dumb to get involved in this. This is nothing new to Mississippi State fans as even the least educated in NCAA rules would have know better than to do what he said he did. He is a former Mississippi State player as well and will be considered an agent or booster of the Mississippi State program in the eyes of the NCAA.
.
Rogers would have the fans, of the program he has so damaged, believe that he became the go between for Cecil Newton to directly solicit money from Mississippi State boosters to get a recruit to the football program. He says this was all done free of charge, out of the kindness of his heart, without the expectation of pay.
.
In his statement he admitted to working on this for at least three days and making several phone calls and text messages. Why would Rogers travel hundreds of miles, make several contacts and spend valuable time on this without the expectation of pay? His lawyer could be right, he might just be that dumb.
.
In another troubling development, Bell came out and modified his original statement to say that Cecil Newton did not directly ask him for money but that Kenny Miles did that for Mr. Newton. He also admitted to multiple contacts and even a conference call in the nefarious deal.
.
At no time did any of these boosters and agents of the Mississippi State football program state that they explained to Cecil Newton that they could not pay him for his sons agreement to come play ball for Mississippi State. In fact it appears just the opposite might be true.
.
The other elephant in the china shop is the unnamed source leaks that have described several actions in this recruitment gone wrong. The one thing these sources have not leaked is if the Mississippi State coaching staff called the Newtons and explained to them that asking for money to attend Mississippi State would render Cam Newton ineligible. This would have seemed to have been the first thing they would have done.
.
As the days go by, it becomes more and more clear that Mississippi State, their football program and the athletes in tat program will wind up being the biggest losers in this investigation. It certainly appears at this point that the eventual ruling will go hard for all things Mississippi State.
