Magic...Motherfucker

I think this pretty much sums up what I think of UGA fans

Is Auburn the Most Hated Team in College Football?

Today should have a been a great Monday following the beatdown on UGA on Saturday. I couldn't wait to talk some shit to all the UGA fans that I have to work with here in Atlanta. Unfortuntely, I was on the defensive about everything from Cam Newton to Nick Fairley to Trooper Taylor. Of course the Fairley hits were on Sportscenter all day. Finebaum took a break from the Newton talk for a day to discuss Fairley's dirty play. Auburn has been the subject of sports talk radio for a week straight now and not for the reason we would all like. I realize that I'm dealing with a bunch of butthurt UGA fans since their team lost, and Finebaum is, well, Finebaum, but that vast majority of AU news in the last week has not been about our exceptional play on the field. It blows to be so good and have such a good season on the field, and at the same time, have to constantly defend my team and university for action off the field. I love Auburn, so I'm going to defend it when people say my team is full of thugs, but I'm beginning to grow tired of it. I really hope this NCAA stuff is cleared up before the national title game one way or another, but I highly doubt it will be. I will say this: Gene Chizik better be 100% sure that Newton is clean and nothing will come of this investigation, because Auburn fans everywhere (including me) will look like complete jackasses if this blows up in Auburn's face. If Newton is dirty, then I would certainly entertain the idea of dumping Chizik immediately. We will be on probation a long, long time if we are guilty, and I will place the blame at Chizik's feet if he had any knowledge of it. In fact, my vote will be to clean out the entire athletic dept all the way up to Jay Jacobs. Hopefully, nothing will come of this, and Auburn will be cleared soon, but I have this sinking feeling that this isn't going to end well.

Pick 'Em Results

If you picked all home teams ATS last week, you went 8 for 10.

Overall a pretty bad week here on the COP blog.

Billy, Heath, and Roy all hit 5 wins, and I got 3!

The standings: Billy inched forward this week with 42 total points, Roy with 41, me at 39, and Heath at 35. This includes lowest score dropped.  For those of you interested in what the points would be without the drops, here they are:

Roy 54, Billy 52, me and Heath at 49.

"How the 'Blogler Took Down Vegas"

Undoubtedly, you've all heard by now that on Wednesday a rumor about Cam Newton being suspended by the NCAA temporarily caused some book makers in Vegas to shut down the Auburn-Georgia game. Well, the person who started this rumor is named Kurt Branch and he runs the website warblogle.com. Also, he was on the drumline with Mr. Orange and me. I find it all extremely fun. But like I told him, if this were the sixties, right now he would be in a basement having his teeth pulled out by Joe Pesci. Anyway, you can read all about it here.

Some Good News to Break the Cam-cycle

Radiohead guitarist extraordinaire Johny Greenwood told Rollingstone yesterday that the new album was finished recording and they are deciding on the track listing and how to release it. AND they plan on following the release w/ a "BIG TOUR". Usually this stuff holds as much water as a Camallegation, but radiohead's website has been updated with a new look by their favorite album artwork artist Stanley Donwood, who is actually pictured on the website w/ Thom Yorke working on presumably the new album artwork, which shouts to the heavens that they are actually about ready to release some new tunes.

The only thing that deters my believing is the fact that Radiohead has released albums exclusively in the months of October and June dating back to 1997. But that is probably a mute point. (Yes I know it's 'moot', it's a stab at you Billy)

UPDATE:

DOH! Damn Eye-tal yens.

Johnny Greenwood:
"I think this italian writer (referred to here) has, either through over-enthusiasm, or frustration at all my non-committal answers, mistranslated me a little….in fact we haven’t quite finished the album – in the studio at the moment – nor have we yet considered any touring. The plan is to have no plan until the record is finished….hope that’s a little clearer!"

Effects of the Cam Newton Saga...

So, Vegas actually closed betting on the AU VS UGA game due to speculation over whether or not Newton will be eligible. Click HERE. This shit is absolutely insane.

College Pick 'EM - Week 11

Alright boys here they are:

A few quick thoughts on the lines.
1. When will the line makers STOP giving Alabama so much credit. I mean, the Dawgs have some obvious talent on the D side of the ball, and we saw how G-Mac looked last week, and yet they still think they can put up the points? I don't get it.
2. At least Auburn is finally getting a line better than 7 against Ole Miss, but still the same people that think Bama's offense can beat State by 14 doesn't think Auburn can beat a 5-5 team by more than 9? I think its obvious they underestimate Newton's rage he is going to unleash on the UGA D.
3. Ole Miss vs Tenn, NOT Vandy vs Kentucky, holds the crown of being the battle of the bottom for the SEC. I find this amusing, and wish Heckathorn was still around to badger.

Think Auburn fans are a little fired up right now?!

Watch out for this play Saturday

looks pretty similar to Cam Newton vs the Mocs:
