But what's funny is that they don't even dispute what is the the article. They can't. It's true!

show me an actual fact in the article and i'll dispute it but yall have yet to do it.

no, i'm saying give me the fact you want me to dispute and i'll dispute it to the best of my abilities.

It's a fact that I read most of the article and it's reference point from Thayer Evans, Fox sports writer, as both articles sound very believable and suspicious regarding Robinsons staements and retractions. Did you read them? I would think most would smell a rat.

I am also not convinced that the whole CN thing will not blow up in AU's face although he's a great player as I pulled for AU, being an SEC team.

Just a sidenote...were War Eagles disappointed in CHIZIK not mentioning Oregon in any regard after barely winning the NC from a very competitive team...not even throwing them a bone? One would think this would be standard etiquette for a HC to show a little class, although I appreciate the excitment of winnig. There was also no S-E-C chant similar to the LSU NC win a few years ago, after yelling L-S-U.

chiz looked like a man who had sold his soul in those post-game interviews.

hell, in his remarks, it looked to me like he was spraying the same ol' "family" and "all in" bs in an attempt to convince, if anyone, himself.

I have yet to read anything by Thayer Evans that I find believable. A great story that sounds nice, but not believable. **as a side note, I have a hard time taking anything that is said on facebook at face value. You never know in what context the person is saying the stuff in and you never know what they mean by certain statements. GR's "success" statement or whatever he said in all likelihood means he is making something out of himself and achieving his goals of becoming a CFB player. That doesn't sound dirty at all, but its all in how you read it. (however arguing that point won't do any good because neither of us will be able to change the other's mind).

the CN thing is more of a MSU problem still since its been proven that their boosters were a part of this. Could Auburn get in trouble? possibly, but as of now they haven't been proven to have done anything wrong.


Finally, on the Chizik thing, i don't have a problem with it. He was caught up in the emotion of it all as everyone was and he wanted to thank the fans. Big deal. If you look at the Oregon interviews, they weren't necessarily cordial towards Auburn either. All they said is we won, but it was Oregon's fault they didn't win, we didn't stop them, they stopped themselves... that kind of junk. Should he have said something to thank Oregon for a good game, probably, but i don't think he didn't for a reason. Also, there was an SEC chant done. I know there was, I was there. The reason you probably couldn't hear it was because the stadium announcer kept talking during it and the stadium sound system is very loud. Regardless, there was a huge SEC chant, sorry you couldn't hear it at home.

The Auburn posters are probably right.
This isn't credible;
It's coincidental;
It's taken out of context;
It's jealousy;
AU didn't know about it;
What AU knew, if forgot at the critical times;
AU does not know Sean Nelson or Total Pkg and has never been to Thibodeaux;
Jeremy Hill?

Not to be a contrarian, but it is just a little funny that we have a 25 page thread filled with "innocent until proven guilty" comments regarding the sexual assault of a 14 year old.

As the father of a daughter I deemed him guilty from the very beginning.

Trooper definitely has a rumored reputation, but i've yet to read anything about it except from GR's mom and some rumors from message boards so I can't say that he is without a doubt doing something wrong if he has yet to be caught ever doing anything wrong.

The article states clearly that he was suspended for four months from doing off-campus recruiting due to a violation at an event at Auburn. The event was attended by Reed. Not surprising you saw no red flags in all the stuff you read; there are none so blind as those who will not see.

I guess you missed the whole part about GR showing back up at school with a bunch of cash & a new iphone after his un official visit to the loveliest village on the planes.

nope didn't miss that. Do you really think we would just send a kid home with a lot of cash and an iphone and keep it that out in the open? Come on man, use some common sense. Could we have given him money? Sure, most teams are probably guilty of it. But would we do it that blatantly and stupid? you have got to be kidding me.
