Alabama received the opening kickoff.

  1. I don’t think anyone should be surprised about the outcome of this game. All the preceding week, all the U of A talk centered on the sour grapes issue of a purported agent that missed out on a cash collection when Mr. Newton decided to attend AU in preference to getting caught up in a big mess that would have resulted from him enrolling at MSU.

  2. Yes. Lynn, you are right. What a bunch of fans on talk radio and message boards said caused the outcome of this game. It had nothing to do with LSU’s players making plays or Alabama’s players not making the plays. Everything had to do with “sour grapes.”

    I wonder what sour grapes you might have when your superstar gets declared ineligible and you have to forfeit every game this year because of cheating? Just wondering. Not saying that will happen. But with AU’s infractions history, it stands a pretty good chance of happening. 😉

  3. Sad ass bama fans. Done lost 2 this year (to teams Auburn beat). The only thing you have to hold onto has no basis for any punishment, no evidence of any crime, and no proof of any wrong-doing.

    Get ready for the curb stomping Auburn is going to put on you.

    Cam for 300 yards….rushing.

  4. Actually with the pathetic play of Alabama’s offense and defense, I could see 300 yards rushing.

    However, ESPN wouldn’t write a story without substantial information. The NCAA is looming. Will you be able to skate? Maybe. But you aren’t Michigan.

  5. Where is the article that ESPN wrote that says Auburn is being investigated and likely will be punished? Is that one out there? Any word on Auburn getting sanctioned? Didnt think so. Auburn will skate on this, and sadly, you know it. There will never be any evidence to get Auburn, even if they did it. So keep on hoping you dont have to face Cam. And likely a pissed off Cam. He is going to destroy Alabama.

  6. If you don’t think the NCAA is looking at Auburn then you are truly myopic. Why else would they want the financial records from Newton’s family and the church? They suspect he was paid. And who would pay for him? The team that landed him. You can buy the AU spin, but nobody else with a brain is buying it.

    Now, I LOVE how you basically congratulated yourself and your school by saying the NCAA won’t ever prove it.

    I’m sure a few other schools have felt that way too.

    I think Logan Young felt that way.

    But good luck with such an arrogant attitude when dealing with the NCAA. The NCAA just LOVES that.

  7. And just so you know. The New York Times wrote this, “The N.C.A.A. is investigating Auburn University’s recruitment of Cam Newton, a star quarterback and front-runner for the Heisman Trophy.”

  8. Im sure the NCAA is reading the capstone report and thinking they need to get Auburn cause one of the posters is a little arrogant.

    You know they wont get Auburn, it doesnt matter how arrogant a message board poster is. There will never be more evidence than a ” he said, he said” bunch of crap. And so far, Mr. Rogers is denying he ever offered Cam to anyone. So you’ll need evidence that he did (which there is none) and then evidence that he actually acted on Cams behalf (which there is none).

    Good luck in that Iron Bowl. Im sure Cam will try not to score more than 50.

  9. No, but your attitude is exactly what encouraged this type of behavior in the first place.

    And for the record, the standard of evidence the NCAA requires isn’t as high as you think it is.

    But good luck with that pro-cheating attitude. It is what put Auburn on probation more than anyone else in the SEC.

  10. Good luck with that offense. Its what got Alabama to a 7-2 record.

    We just won the SEC, and you sacks cant stand it. The only thing you can hope for is the NCAA to come in and stop us, cause you cant. And you know that they wont. Its coming soon. Cam is going to curb stomp your pathetic team. Camzilla will destroy Bamtokyo.

  11. Camzilla is coming! Camzilla is coming! Hide yo wife, hide yo kids! Hide em all, cause he’s killing everybody out here.

  12. The offense isn’t the only problem on that team. The defense has more holes than swiss cheese. Why the holes? I think some of the players have no clue what they are supposed to be doing.

  13. Keep hoping for the Auburn probation. Thats all Bama fans can hope for now.

    LSU just ran for 200+ yards on that ass. Guess what Cam and company are going to do.

    You need to write the NCAA. You need to call the NCAA. You need to beg the NCAA to please, please dont let Cam whoop our ass.

  14. au does not have a snowballs chance in hell vs bama …au no defense and no passing game …cam cannot hit the wide side of a barner

  15. this will not end well for auburn university – mike leland – ncaa investigator – 9/10

  16. nothing wrong with wanting justice to be served against the cheating rats au – dye,camdad,every scholarship croot is paid

  17. I just did a Google search and a LexisNexis search for the following key words: Mike Leland Cameron Newton Auburn University NCAA. Results of search: ZERO. I guess this is such privileged information that only Crimson Hammah has access to it.

  18. in that article – per miss st asst coach – cam all set for ms when camdad gets call from au rep and a big financial offer from
    au – camdad goes to miss st offices and attempts big financial offer,camdad is kicked out of office then precedes to lane kiffens office without appointment unannounced uninvited and extortion is once again attempted and even lane kiffen kicks him out of office…also miss st asst coach follows up and finds out how au funnels the money to camdad…new info to me – is the post on al.com ncaa investigat

  19. but all this lines up from summer story with ms being center and tn involved as well…camdad id guilty as sin but u can hope ncaa looks the other way on it and the dye payola scandal II

  20. just because the media is focused on another aspect of the camscam doesn’t mean
    the summer story was inaccurate

  21. Crimson Hannah is actually Deepthroat in the Cam Newton investigation called asswhip gate. It’s when Ingrahm gives over the Heisman, there is a thorough and complete asswhipping in JH west (9-2 AU win record I think), and save the Crystal football from the Wal Mart circuit.

    It’s funny how tame the Bama fans are after a year. I remember all the smartass 5-19 Chiznik, limogate, towel waver, finescum rhetoric. Glad you can eat that crow now. We may not amount to an SEC west winner next year, but at least we don’t act like something that we aren’t. We don’t claim 8 NC, which if you went by the Mullet criterion we have. Alabama even reports a NC when they finished in 20th place in the AP.

    Hey deepthroat Hannah, try looking that up. It’s for view to everyone on Wikipedia, try typing in NCAA national championship, Sherlock.

    Nite Nite, I will be back to generally be a pain in the ass. Try not to be such one sided Homers, cause it really sucks to have to eat crow.

    Blow tide!

  22. eating lsu’s crow – of course beatdown II is coming to no defense no pass camscum…
    no chance au beats ga …then it comes down to arkansas and lsu…pat dye is running the au payola again – so chiz is still chit…will be ranked higher than bama for 2 months be worth the 4 yr probation

  23. au no pass no defense – does not have a snowball’s chance of beating the great and mighty tide, 26 conference titles to 5 ………………….u suck for a reason u cheat for a reason……..the scumbags of society run the au program – fo sho

  24. u r not a pain in the ass – u r elephant bait …au is bama’s little abused sister that we have made the laughing stock of the nation,,,the douchebags will cheat just to get ranked higher than bama for 2 months and the 4 yr probation will be worth it…best yrs for au 57 93 10 probation yrs for a reason and those team sucked and would have been exposed in bowl game

  25. per miss state asst coach – camdad’s dirty cheating lying azz was kicked out of the office

    per lane kiffen – i kicked camdad’s lying cheating dirty azz out of my office

    per ncaa investigator – this will not end well again for the lying cheating scumbags ruled by dye od auburn university

    per au fans – 5 conference titles in 100 yrs we r a shameful bunch of loser douches

  26. Go take your Haldol and valproic acid, the whitecoats are looking for you, and by the way we aren’t the cheats on vacation and you already have a player on the take playing now named Marcel Dareus, homer.

  27. hope not hope it is aj but mc can run table though …did u see square? whack jordan jefferson second before he pitched ..shapes of things to for camscum – camscum will get whacked repeatedly

  28. Hammah, There doesn’t appear to be anything like that on the internet. Do you even have any links showing that “Mike Leland” is an NCAA investigator? I didn’t have any immediate luck finding him. Perhaps this is another lesson on the reliability of rumors?

  29. i listed what was in the summer article – nothing about the ncaa investigation was even mentioned….

  30. face reality – au bought the whole team minus walkons – au outbid the competition …now go and win as many as possible before they are vacated…i don’t give a rats azz about bama’s 2005 season being vacated – roman harper’s hit on tn rb to save that game was awesome …au should hope ncaa will look the other way ..ncaa is corrupt as well they nail who they want to nail and disregard the rest

  31. That game was a bummer. Trent went out and I believe that had a little bit to do with it — and i mean little. The team just “woke up” on that last drive in the 4th quarter — where the fu#k was that in the other 3 quarters.

    McElroy — guy, thanks for the NC, but jeez — let’s get some zip on the ball for christ sakes.

    One thing is for sure — we got “nothing to lose” and we have all the motivation in the world to “spoil” the season for the barner’s.

  32. Who couldn’t see this coming ?

    Oh yeah…Every Bama fan I know.

    Just like ITK the fanbase, and the team counted their chickens before they hatched.

    You had the BCS all wrapped up, didn’t ya ?

    I told you that LSU would handle you up front ITK , and that would be the difference…You laughed. Who is laughing now ?

    Bama is not that good this year. Sorry. Expect a t-total ass kicking in the Iron Bowl.

    Come Black Friday come….

    No BCS championship……..

    No SEC WEST championship…….

    No STATE championship…….

    You will be lucky to be 9-3 because Miss. St. can beat you. Seriously….In that case you will be 8-4…..Because Auburn will castrate Saban and co. at Bryant Denny.

    My My how the worm has turned.

    Now, since Bama is completely irrelevent, let’s focus entirely on Cam Newton….Or, my spelling.

    But, I really don’t expect you to be here for a while….You probably have some “great business deals” to suddenly have to take care of….Right ?

    Roll Tide Roll……..What a joke.

  33. No In The Keyster has some pillow biting to take care of. Eat that crow and cry. Maybe you can take a leisurely stroll and watch Tatoos statue being built while you take a deep breath of tire smell. Anybody that’s been in T-town knows the smell. Come to think of it, its the smell of a loser.

    Go talk about somebody else whose down like TN or GA. Talk about how they suck cause they don’t have the midget. You know, the alabama way of kicking soneone ehen they are down. The most asshole, coceited, delusional fan base in the world. I wonder what Shane and the pissant Legend is gonna say. Maybe he can read Legends losers while wearing pantyhose and looking at himself in the mirror.

  34. For the record – I didn’t have BCS wrapped up but I admit I thought we would get the west at the iron bowl and judging from the way the team played I wasn’t the only one.

    It would take a win out by us, Arky would have to beat LSU and Aunarn would have to lose to Georgia – point, it ain’t gonna happen.

  35. abtholutely ga will outscore au – ga will blitz in and hit cam every snap like bama did to jj/lsu to end game…ark will whack lsu…bama beats fla n rematch sec cg back to sugar to avenge utah loss

  36. anybody that doesn’t believe bama is the greatest team in history is delusional …cfb data warehouse 26 conference titles
    13 national titles …10 win seasons bowl appearances bowl victories 5 statues …5 different coaches national champions…
    au 5 titles 0 national champs

  37. AU KNOWS IRRELAVANCE – AND HAD TO PAY CAM 200K TO BECOME TEMPORARILY RELEVANT…BUT AU CAN FEED OFF 2 MONTHS OF BEING HIGHER RANKED THAN BAMA TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE 4 YR PROBATION

  38. THE GAME WAS ONE PLAY BONEHEAD LOSER MCELROY LETS THE BALL GET STRIPPED BY DL LAYING ON THE GROUND… WE WERE WINNING IN CONTROL AND READY TO TAKE IT DOWN FOR A 2 POSSESSION LEAD

  39. AU DOES NOT BELONG WITH THE BIG BOYS NEVER HAS NEVER WILL — AND CHEATS TO BE WHERE THEY R TODAY…GA 28 AU 21….BAMA 36 AU 0…BAMA 42 FL 14 BAMA 36 OHIO STATE 17 AND SUGAR BOWL CHAMPS AND #3 TEAM IN COUNTRY

  40. Well, we may not be able to do anything significant on the national level, but we can damn sure still win the State Championship from the #1 football state in the nation. The 10 point difference between Bama, LSU and Aubie is not much, especially when Black Friday is in our house. It will be easier on you guys if we beat you anyway. I saw 3 teams Saturday that are better than Aubie. What if Oregon gets upset? Aubie do you want to be the first team ever to get bitch slapped by Boise State or TCU in the BCSNCG? Even I would hate to see that, not to mention the dignity of the whole SEC would be a laughingstock for years to come. As for Bama, I’m sick of this team playing not to lose instead of to win. You can do that when you have the #1 defense in the nation. But this defense gave up 21 second half points to the worst offense in the SEC, and our offensive line to put it mildly just phucking sucks. The nations 2 best RB’s have not had a game winning performance since Arkansas, and untimely QB sacks have just killed us in both losses. McElroy’s fumble was not his fault. Warmack may as well have been taking a lunch break on that play as his man was in the backfield almost as soon as the ball was. The officials did miss a horrible pass interference call when #17 mugged Julio on 3rd down as we were driving. But the game shouldn’t have hinged on that play. It was simply an uninspired performance that should have been put out of reach in the first half. I’m completely disappointed in the attitudes of too many of this teams players who have brought down the whole team. Two more performances like that one and we’ll be playing in Or-phucking-lando at Christmas. I will say that I was thrilled with Julio who made Peterson look like a bumbling fool though. RTR!

  41. what the dl was on laying on the ground the knicked the ball out of mac’s hand – careless a best.mac the goat for 2 yrs – with aj this yr we had 14 in the bag

  42. Hammah, I appreciate your passion for Bama, but you need to chill out bro. Those rediculous three line posts one after the other over and over, filled with absurd opinions and allegations make Bama fans look foolish, and are tiresome and booring. Act normal or knock it off.

  43. agreed the team got complacement after the defense held them without a first down in the first 2 lsu possessions both in our territory…

    THE WEAK LINK IS MAC HE REFUSES TO TAKE A HIT AND GET RID OF THE BALL

    THE OLINE IS GREAT

    THE PLAYCALLING SUCKS – THE OVER CENTER RUN PLAY MARK RUNNING INTO PULLING GUARDS BUT JACKASS HARDHEAD MCI KEEPS GOING TO IT…OFF TACKLE WHICH SABAN SAID IN NICK SABAN SHOW LAST IS THE WAY TO GO NOT OVER THE CENTER WHERE THE RB HAS NO CHANCE WAS A STAB AT MCI

    AND DUMASS BAMA RAN VS 7 8 IN THE BOX
    AND PASSED VS 5 IN THE BOX ON FIRST DOWN LIKE LSU HAD BAMA’S SIGNALS LIKE AU HAD LAST YR IB

  44. I have to agree with UpYour’s, Hammah. With that recount of Mac’s fumble, and your opinion of Mac and AJ, you’re an idiot.

  45. UPSHAW DID NOT PROTECT OUTSIDE NOT DOING HIS JOB….MILLNER FINGER UP BUTT LOOKING IN BACKFIELD WHAT DID HE EXPECT TO DO 30 YDS FROM BACKFIELD AND 30 YDS FROM HIS MAN

    BAD ANGLE BARRON AS USUAL AND RUNS SLOW

  46. crimson hammah – another phucking internet Coach Of The Year/Heisman Winner/Investigative Reporter Of The Year/Pulitzer Winner!

  47. With fans like you we don’t need enemies. Now I get it. You’re a Barnie in disguise trying to make all Ba,ma fans look bad.

  48. thx for the awards with wussies like u who can’t call it straight we will never win another championship.

  49. mac is a 3 star shula guy amongst saban studs who has no reason to take a hit so he doesn’t

  50. i quit football when i did not want to take the hits anymore – in a scrimmage a korean te would come blind knock the crap out of me at the ilb position,maybe do the team a favor and yield to aj

  51. Getting beat by LSU and the village idiot coach is like losing
    you girlfriend to Barney on Andy Griffith Show!!!
    Saban got out coached by the freaking village idiot!!!

  52. bama oline is great….bama avg’s 9 ypc off tackle – stupid bonehead goes over center over center— i was hoping i was only having shula flashbacks

  53. I’ll agree we had the most conservative gameplan since USCjr. I think there was like three Wildcats, all runs. One Pistol. No misdirection, no screens to Ingram or Richardson, nothing new or fancy. And on the last punt which allowed LSWho to run out the clock, Shelly could have run to downtown Birmingham. The whole defense at the snap turned around and sprinted toward Paterson. It wasn’t just half the players who screwed the pooche, the coaching staff acted like they were stoned on Mary Jane. Makes me wonder how many of them took LSWho and the 6.5? And yet one damn play would have won it – when Maze dropped the ball after he beat Patterson.
