Why we should pull for Auburn

I'm pulling for Auburn for the following reasons.

1. They're the better team. They're simply a better football team than little SC. It's a shame that in the West 11-1 wouldn't have been enough to win the division, but a mediocre Eastern Div team can lose three and be heads above the rest. To hell with SC, and Steve Spurriers obnoxious arse.

2. They beat us. It's better for us to say we lost to the eventual NC and (gag) only one other game, than to say we lost to the winner of the Orange or Cap One Bowl.

3. At this point, they officially didn't cheat. What more do we need to know. Yeah, no one is ever as innocent as they proclaim, but people on the outside (you and I) rarely really know even half of the truth. Maybe the half that we don't know is mitigating or even (were this a real criminal case) exculpatory.

4. My most controversial point. If they cheated, it's not the kind of cheating that skews the playing field. It's not doping, paying off crooked refs, or anything of that nature. Auburn and Cam really are as good as they appear on the field. It's a real product. They really beat us, they really came back from a 24 point deficit to beat Bama in BDS, and they really are 12-0. Since Cam wasn't considering LSU, it's not like we really lost anything in the exchange anyway (were it proven true). If he was at Miss St., we'd probably still have two losses. Only one would be to St. instead of Auburn.

5. The hate on Auburn is unjustified. Some people seem to have a new found hate for Auburn, which proves to me that they are just haters on whomever the top dog is. I don't hate Auburn. I hated Tuberdouche (who didn't) but the program and its fans never bothered me. Compare them to Ole Miss, Bama, or Florida. Their arrogance doesn't even come close. And they don't shite on us everytime we're down--like the Bama fans everyone seems so in love with these days. They're actually some of the classiest fans I've run into. And Cam is a clown, but doesn't seem like that bad of a kid to me.

6. They have a better chance of smoking Oregon than anybody else in the SEC. If AU dominates Oregon, it will prove (once again) that we are, by far, the premier conference in CFB. I know the pro-SEC mantra has worn thin, but it truely is rational for us to pull for conference members. When AU dispatches Oregon, maybe there will be no question next year that an 11-1 SEC team is better than almost any undefeated squad in CFB. So Geaux SEC!

I'm interested in discussing this minority view with anyone willing.
