NCAA investigating Cam Newton

Shug Jordan and Bear Bryant had a gentlemen's agreement that "what happens in Alabama stays in Alabama ..."

 

Auburn tattled on what became one part (Gene Jelks) of Alabama's first probation in the 90s. Bama used to pretty routinely turn in Auburn up through the last time Auburn wound up on probation.

 

Thank you. Those who think otherwise are very naive.

 

it's one of the many reasons Auburn fans hate Alabama so pathologically.

 

That and their inferiority complex. ;D

 

I would guess that 99 percent of college beat writers don't have the proper resources or the support of their papers to do the kind of investigative work that it would take to figure out the cheating that is really going on.

In would guess that 80 percent have no real desire to do the work it would take to uncover something, whether it's homerism, laziness or whatever.

Most of the big scandal stories that break, fall into the laps of the people who break them, whether it's SI, ESPN or the actual beat writers.

 

Pretty sure the hate goes both ways. And when Auburn whacks them in three weeks, they'll hate them more.

 

Auburn is on the radar of Bama fans more than it ever has been, but I'm not sure there's another fanbase that hates its rival as much as Auburn's does.

 

I know there are a lot of college beat writers on here.

We all have a general idea of what kind of backgrounds certain players come from, so if you see a kid who you know comes from the sticks and he's driving an Escalade, do you ask him about it?

Do you run the plates to see whose name is on the title?

 

Umm, I'll raise you a Rock Chalk Chicken Hawk, Fuck You K - U.

 

Raise all you want, but you're not beating the hand of AU/UA ... UNLESS you're talking UA/UT (And you know how that one goes)

 

well Newton drives around a shitty scooter so it doesn't exactly apply there.
