I’ve watched a couple of Oregon’s games on ESPN3 and there is nothing impressive about their offense EXCEPT tempo. For many games they do nothing until the other team gets tired in the 2nd half…it’s like they can’t score consistently unless the other team is tired.

Good for them, they’ve managed to get 11 of the 12 team they played tired and the one team they didn’t was a very bad Cal team who they beat by like 2 pts.

This game should go a lot like their last bowl game against OSU. People who haven’t seen them play are going to be left wondering how the heck they scored so many points all season.

The game should have been played on New Years Day . ESPN has ruined the bowl games by spreading them out to jan 10. 35 games….119 teams in 1A = 70 teams…70 divided by 119 = 58.8% of all 1A teams now play in a bowl game. No wonder the Dawgs were flat…the game should not have been played.
At least this game is legit. I can’t believe Oregon beats Auburn…but if you watched them play Ala. The Tide should have won that game…period….but Bama would also beat Oregon…whatever….

I think Oregon wins. Auburn does not have the dominating defense that we’ve seen out of past BCS Champions from the SEC. In fact, their defense is average at best. And I don’t care what all the draft experts say. I think Fairley is overrated. Georgia was able to contain him so I’m sure Oregon will have no problem either. In all fairness, there’s not much any defensive lineman can do against Oregon’s fast paced offense. Most of you probably haven’t seen them play. They are the real deal.

The SEC was decidedly down this year and Auburn benefitted. I think this is the year the SEC run finally comes to an end.

FEAR THE TIGER!!!, oh whoopee he had a good game against LSU. A lot of defenders had good games against LSU this year. Their offense was not very good. If he’s so great, why was Georgia able to contain him. There’s a reason why he was always late getting to Aaron Murray. He was getting his azz blocked. That’s why.

As for the tackles for loss stat, that could be somewhat inflated because Auburn didn’t have any other playmakers on defense making tackles. Akeem Dent led the SEC in tackles for most of the year. Do I think he’s a great player? Hardly.

Let’s see what the NFL thinks about him in a couple of months after they’ve really had a chance to breakdown the film. Right now its just hype.

Just because nothing was proven does not make it right. Cecil Newton prostituted his own son to play college football. Auburn got him and as a result will win the most tainted national title in NCAA history.

If it was Georgia, I’d be ashamed to answer your question.

Wrong is wrong. Just because the NCAA hasn’t ruled it wrong yet doesn’t change the fact that it is wrong.

Thirty-seven days is a long time between games and during a layoff like that the bigger team gets out of shape faster. With their emphasis on fitness, Oregon will be sharp, rested and ready to execute their up-tempo game plan. Auburn, as the bigger team, will be more likely to come in out of shape and sluggish and thus more likely to fall behind early, never to catch up. Newton has been distracted from serious practice, in fact I’ve seen him all over town. This has all the makings of a 38 – 31 Oregon victory.

slobberknocker,

Replace “Cecil Newton” with “John Wall’s Dad” and replace “Cam Newton” with “John Wall” and replace “Gene Chizik” with “John Calipari” and you tell me John Wall would have played college basketball last year.

The NCAA picks and chooses and makes up the rules as they go along.

They are a joke.

Are you denying that the Southern Cal folks were not saying the same things 6 years ago? They were, trust me. Auburn is foolish enough to believe all the crap, let them believe it.”

John Wall’s dad died years ago….wow. Do some research before you blast.

John Wall paid $$ back before he could play unlike Enes Kanter.
I disagree in that the NCAA would have slapped AU if they had proof. They have enough of a admittance from Cecil that is needed….they allowed it and they will have egg on their face come Monday night. Newton will play well enough to win, move on, and Chizik hangs around long enough to be penalized for wrongdoings…..that’s more accurate.

Oregon winning would be fitting, but I don’t see it happening.

Oregon will be the national champions regardless of what happens tonight. If the “War Cheaters” win tonight, they will be giving up the championship to the Ducks within 3 years, IF the NCAA continues to investigate Awburn. That is a BIG if.

KevinM,

I used John Wall as an example. I know his Dad passed away.

My point is the NCAA can’t even defend their own rules.

Mitch Barnhart, the AD at Kentucky asked them specifically about the Kanter situation and even asked them to explain the differences between the AJ Green, Ohio State 5, Selby, Sidney, Newton and Kanter. They couldn’t. They just fell back on “each of the circumstances were different” crapola.

The NCAA is a freaking joke.

And what kind of showboat antics can we expect out of Cam tonight? Oh don’t get me wrong. Auburn is going to score some points tonight. I just think Oregon scores more. Cam is going to get his big stats. He’ll have plenty of opportunity to ham it up for the cameras like he loves to do. He’s had some time to think about some new routines. It will be interesting to see what he does.

And another thing about the NCAA and Enes Kanter.

Tell me how the NCAA President didn’t publicly recuse himself from anything to do with Kanter. He is the President of the University of Washington, where Terence Jones(UK’s leading scorer) and Kanter both originally committed to until switching to Kentucky.

I think i speak for most AU fans on this. If NCAA finds Cam knew about this and AU knew , then you can take everything away, take the heisman away, penalize us for 30 yrs. But when AU went over phone records and all bank accounts over the summer and found nothing thus making Newton starting QB, reason why it took 3 weeks after spring practice. Do you think the backup Trotter was hip to hip to Newton, yeah right. The ncaa found nothing as well. I choose to beleive my team as any of you would if it was your team.

I usually pull for the SEC in all Bowl games.
After watching “CHEAPSHOT” Fairley spear Our QB Arron Murray in the back, which shows signs of a COWARD, long after the whistle had blown, I can’t seem to pull for them in this game.
What made the play even worse was Coach Gene Chiznik standing on the sideline cheering him on afterward with his fist raised in the air. Total lack of respect for him and Fairley. This is not what our SEC is all about and to condone this type of play all season long shows lack of respect both Chiznik and Fairley.
The previous 4 Championships won by the SEC were very respectable in both Coaching and respect for the opposing teams.
If it means losing the game to a different conference then so be it.
Have no problem with the Newton scandal, it will work out in the end.

Dawg in Lex said the 2 words in an earlier post that pretty much sums up my thinking also.

Auburn—NO CLASS And that’s on the Coach.

I’ve always thought the UGA coaching job should be the best in the SEC. Georgia is a great state for high school football. UGA really doesn’t have to share the talent with another instate program (Bama and AU fight over a talent pool roughly half the size of Georgia’s). Great facilities, and a solid fanbase….the right coach could compete with UF and AU every year, and win half or more.

Auburn will win this game. The Cecil and Cam issue is the least of AU’s problems with the NCAA folks. The Auburn folks have taken cheating to a new level and that makes SMU look like 1st graders. Tubberville tried his best to control the program while he was coaching but he had alot of stuff going on that even he couldn’t control and that is why the folks with the money wanted him gone!!! Now the money folks are running the show and that is why the HC is in place at AU. The ghetto twins are running the recruiting and almost every program in the SEC knows about the pay for play scheme at the plains. These folks with the money at AU didn’t fall off the applecart yesterday and they know how to spread the money because it started in 1982. The have been caught by accident but ole karma has a way of getting it done in strange ways and it will be done however it will take a little more time due to the FBI is still expanding the gambling and bank failure investigation. You need to think in reverse on this such as don’t look at the frontdoor and the Cam issue because it’s coming from from the backdoor. Football is just a small part of this investigation but it will be more than enough to whack the Tigers. The NCAA will be faced with a huge challenge money wise (legal fees) and manpower wise once the Feds are done with their side of the probe. The NCAA will most likely take the less expensive path and just go for the slushfund to hang Auburn. The SEC would be better off without a program such as Auburn unless the Gov of Alabama removes these thugs and jock sniffers currently on the BOT at Auburn. The inferiority complex these folks at Auburn and they fight it each and everyday.

Paul in Destin: I see you have been reading the LSU blog they call “TigerPoop” or some such. All that is BS, a typical bait-and switch article done to the level of a sophomore majoring in creative writing.

The gambling investigation ended in October. The FBI turned over all findings to the prosecutors and the prosecution in the case has asked the court for a trial date. That was verified weeks ago on every TV news station in Alabama.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but do try to get yourself current. If the FBI had anything to turn over to anybody concerning Auburn, it would have been done well BEFORE the NCAA declared Cam Newton eligible, which was the first week in December.

Find another thing to hope for. You can always pray that Cam Newton will break a leg or Coach Chizik will leave for another job so he will quit building a powerhouse at Auburn.

I think Chizik is building a powerhouse at AU. Unlike many Bama fans (and even some AU fans), I’ve been impressed with the way Chizik has conducted his business since arriving.

I look for the Iron Bowl to be a bubble-knocker every year, and I’m glad of it.

I’d venture a guess that the AU and UA programs will continue to be evenly matched over the next 5 or 6 years.

Bama fans who were thinking (this time last year) that Saban was going to dominate AU, and the SEC were delusional. AU fans who are now thinking the same thing about Chizik, are delusional as well.

after 5 1/2 months of CFB…..everyone seems to be running out of things to say….Barnhart ran out of topics about a month ago, but I’m sure his contract requires him to submit a column.

The again, I think his writing has suffered since he started spending so much time on TV.

After a somewhat disappointing season for the Tide, I have to admit that an AU win tonight won’t thrill me all that much. But….I’m pulling for the Tigers anyway.

That being said, it would be nice if there was an event to offset a Tiger win. Maybe TrishaDisha will catch the clap in Glendale.

Posted this someplace else, but this ones a better place…

Hearing that the AU fans are flocking to the game because they just ‘can’t miss out on this’, reminds me of the momentary ‘thrill’ I get when I start to check a lottery ticket – ‘Gee, wonder how I’ll react if I win that $300 million?’…then I find out I didn’t win and move on. Now Auburn fans have a chance to actually experience ‘winning the lottery’ and, almost, everything that goes with it – the anticipation, the event and the joy of celebration – the only difference is that it’ll take a lot longer for them to realize that they actually didn’t win it after all. That’ll come when the NCAA, the SEC, and, who knows, probably the FBI, tells the world that ‘you-know-who, took you-know-what, from ‘you know’ and all the accolades and championships are rescinded. But look on the bright side AU fans, you’ll have had the ‘experience’ – that’s more than most of the rest of us will have had.

Looking forward to a great game tonight. My biggest concern is that Georgia Power is able to keep the power on all night long…

Auburn as a team has improved dramatically over the first few games this year. They have shown the ability to come back against seemingly insurmountable deficits and to play even stronger towards the end of the game than they did at the beginning of the game.

Win or lose, I’ll still fly my Auburn flag tomorrow and I’ll still support my alma mater.

Totally agree with you on the Tony Barnhart comment about a UGA clown. He is such an SEC and UGA homie is not even funny.

Folks like Tony do not understand or care about football west of the Mississippi, and Auburn could have the edge, but underestimating the Oregon offense and Chip Kelly is a fatal mistake, and quite frankly I believe Cheese Nip will get outflanked by Chip and the Oregon offense.

The question is if Oregon does pull this off and Auburn loses, will Tony come back on the site and man up that the Pac-10 is the better program? Also, you do realize this is the first Pac-10 vs. SEC BCS title game and if Oregon wins, it wil be 1-0 Pac 10 vs. the SEC.

I think Nick Fairley is going to be a very disruptive force in the Oregon backfield and he will be the difference in the game by putting Oregon in several 2nd and 3rd and long situations with sacks and or tackles for losses. He alone will be the difference maker in stopping several Oregon drives. As for Oregon’s frenetic pace I don’t see that as being a problem whatsoever since AU also runs the hurry up.

The bowl games the SEC lost? They didn’t matter, and I’m sure flash in the pan wouldn’t be touting them as victories for the SEC if they had actually won them.

Besides, those teams didn’t play SEC ball on that day. They didn’t use all that SEC speed, which no other players in any other conference have. That’s why you will find only SEC players at the skill positions in the NFL.

Besides, the teams in those 5 losses were far superior to their opponents – the refs gave all those games away. Everybody knows that if those 5 teams had come to play, they would have won by 50.

“MikeP, I wouldn’t be so sure about that. The NCAA was interviewing the contractors that worked on Cecil’s church the week of Christmas. There are no new revelations worth discussing, but it’s hardly over for the Barn.”

I see you have been reading Thayer Evans. That is the fourth hate article he’s written about Auburn in the past month. The first three were demonstrable lies and I suspect this one will be proven to be a lie as well.
Now, if it makes you happy to dream that the NCAA is still pursuing the Cam Newton issue go ahead, but it’s over.

As for the FBI, I hate to mention this but the FBI cannot legally make the results of an investigation available to a private entity. The NCAA has no more right to the information contained in an FBI investigation than does Wal-mart or Goo-goo car wash.
If, say, Alabama was paying players and the FBI ran across this info in an investigation of gamblers bribing legislators, that information would be kept in the FBI files, unavailable to the NCAA, the AJC or your friendly corner Zippy Mart.

PS: Thayer Evans will come out with another tale about Auburn in a day or two, this one implying something wrong in the recruitment of the current class. Like the meaningless article concerning the contractors it will contain no succinct facts and will perhaps be sprinkled with several outright lies, but write it he will.

You are cherry picking. You discount both Ohio State’s win and MSU’s loss. A 5 point game could have gone to either team. A 42 point win is a thrashing. I’m not saying Bama would beat them by 42 on a regular basis, but it is still a decisive win. Arkansas’ loss was not decisive. It was a close game that was decided within the final minute. Big difference.
