Well this game is over. As much as I would love to see a comeback, i just don't think it's possible after that last interception.
Auburn and the NCAA were both going to take a hit on this regardless of what they did
They would rather clean it up on the backside after the dust settles, rather than the front side
They hope everyone is stupid enough to believe them, or to not care
Let's win the championship and the Heisman and then run a retraction on the back page later where nobody will notice we effed up
USC should be screaming, as should others (and they are)
If this were a 7-4 Auburn team he would have been done mid season
But there were so many "feel good" stories about him prior to the scandal(s)
(Lets not forget the legal problems and the cheating at Florida)
He is the best player
His team is an undefeated SEC team
He has engineered 8 comebacks, some incredible (South Carolina, Georgia, Bama)
He has big smile
He is the poster child for everything the NCAA and Auburn wants
Except he is a thief, a cheater and a mercenary
But why let any of that get in the way?
If you are a big school, you can get away with just about anything.
Welp, it's official - Oregon and Auburn. In spite of all the BS, it should be a hell of a game.
And has anyone heard from evilgEEk?

Couldn't have said it better myself. I can't stand either of them. Nick Fairly is also freaking cheap shot artist.
Good game going on in Dallas.
I just wish they could both lose.

If some out SC beat Auburn I would not be surprise if magically the NCAA will come back and say that Auburn has to forfeit all their wins and start the punishments on them.
All it proves to me is the NCAA is worthless. Courpt and does not even enforce its own rules. If you are a big school you can get away with just about anything.
ESPN.com said:The Knights also earned a trip to the Liberty Bowl, where they'll most likely face Georgia on New Year's Eve.
Hey MacDawg it looks like my Knights are going to be playing Georgia in the Liberty Bowl according to ESPN. I hope we can beat you for our first ever bowl win.

I wish I could say this in some way that didn't sound rude ... but they are a gimmick. They don't just line up and play football, they have Coach Klein writing in his notebook, coming up with all kinds of "trickery" to give them an edge, since they'd lose horribly if they just lined up and played smash mouth football. Flea flicker, check (but failed); statue of liberty, check, qb punting, check; qb receiving, check. I just kept waiting to see an oop-de-oop pass to an O-lineman and it would've been just like some feel good football team movie.
*not your first bowl win
Just came home from watching TCU implode their stadium. They're starting a $105M renovation tomorrow.
Here's a video of the implosion.
Not to dredge up old topics, but watching Auburn run trick play after trick play in the first quarter yesterday reminded me of this. What do you think, SLC? Is Auburn a gimmick team that couldn't compete without these tricks?
Not so... the stage had already been set to send Auburn to the BCS Championship even if they had lost, claiming them to be the best one loss team and better than TCU. They were gonna have this matchup regardless, and if corruption, lying, cheating, $$$ weren't gonna stand in the way, one little loss wouldn't stand in the way either.
