auburn tigers vs oregon ducks, who you got?

[Ackmed]

Sad that Oregon handed them the game.

I wonder how long until the title is stripped.
We know the NCAA couldn't let the Pac-10 win but with the threat of lawmaker intervention and USCs appeal/potential law suite, the NCAA will probably be forced to act on Cam Newton who was clearly ineligible to play.

The fact is, Auburn took the game. Both teams missed capitalizing on some key plays. Auburns D line was just far too strong. PAC 10 never sees athletes like this on the field. Every ESPN columnist an announcer say the same thing. The SEC has the best athletes, especially in pass rushing. And Cam wasnt "clearly ineligible" to play. There is zero proof that Cam knew what his father was doing. You cannot punish the player, for what he had no control over. If there is proof later, then by all means take it all away. The Heisman, and title. Until there is proof, stop crying.

If you want to get into what should or shouldnt have happened, talk about Ohio St. They did break the rules, and were still allowed to play. Sure they're suspended next year, big whoop. They could go pro this year, so it doesnt matter.

The SEC is clearly the best conference. Trying to make the claim that it isnt, is just silly. 7 out of the 13 BCS championship games are SEC. They are 7-0. In 2004 Auburn went 13-0 and was denied the chance to play for the title. Could have been 8 out of 13.

The 49 SEC players taken in this year's NFL draft were the most ever for the conference in the modern era. The previous high was 47 in 2002.

Back in the 1950s, the draft consisted of 30 rounds.

The SEC's 49 selections were 15 more than the next conference. The Big Ten had 34, the ACC had 31, the Big 12 had 30 and the Pac-10 had 29.

The SEC also ruled this year's draft in terms of premium selections, producing 23 players taken in the first three rounds. That was eight more than the Pac-10, which had 15 players go in the first three rounds.

The SEC has now led or tied for the most selections in the NFL draft for 11 of the last 13 seasons and for the last four drafts.

Since 1990, the SEC has had 782 total selections in the NFL draft, an average of 37.2 selections per year. The Big Ten is second with 672 selections.

Florida finished the draft with a nation's-best nine players selected, including a school-record six players taken in the first two rounds.

LOL, a good call by the B1G officials?

Body did not touch the ground.

ESPN's TMQ article had an interesting discussion about that (see the Sweet Play of the Week section).

Oregon and LSU are playing in 2011 Week 1. Should be pretty good

Why do they have to play the game so damn late after the season ends? That first half was freaking painful; looked like little kids stumbling around, particularly after watching a pretty damn awesome weekend of NFL. Almost turned it off half way through; fortunately I stuck with it and saw the end, but damn, that first part was brutal. So sloppy.

I don't come by here very often anymore. Just thought I'd drop a nice "War Damn Eagle!" from this Auburn alum.
