Congrats...?
So the Auburn Tigers defeated the Oregon Ducks in the BCS Title game last night in Glendale, AZ. The Tigers went undefeated and won the school second ever national title in football. A part of me is happy that Newton and the Tigers got the last laugh over their critics with all of the controversy surrounding the team (most of the controversy was brought on by Newton himself BUT who's counting). Does anyone else get the feeling that the championship should have been split with TCU? No, I'm not saying this because of the playoff system I want. But I'm saying this because it would be a lot easier to give the title if and when the hypocrites at the NCAA investigate the Newton's five years from now and Auburn has to vacate wins. The problem the BCS is having with the 2005 Trojans is that if USC loses their appeal to the NCAA, then and only then will the BCS have to vote on if they are going to strip the title from them. I'm not saying its going to happen but when you have the FBI involved there's more than likely a chance someone will find something damaging against Cecil Newton and Cam. Only time will tell if I am proven wrong.
Some quick thoughts:
Wouldn't you love to see the TCU vs. Auburn match up just to know who's better?
Gene Chizik will be the coach of Auburn for another 3 years or so. My thought is that if Texas comes calling, it will be hard for him to turn it down.

Nick Fairley, Auburn defensive tackle, is being touted as the next Nmdamujong Suh, I am hesitant to go that far. Fairley was good but Suh was great. Using a top pick of Fairley, a guy that has battled weight issues in the past could harm a franchise. But maybe the championship play he has motivates him to be dominant in the NFL.
Everyone is talking about the play at the end of the where Michael Dyer looked like he was down before the game winning field goal, but what about the play in the first half where Newton clearly fumbled the ball but the play was whistled dead? Oregon recovered the fumble and was in the red zone.
Also, when the officials took the pick away from the Ducks and Oregon scored on the next play? Friends of mine sometimes feel the SEC gets special treatment.
That is all for today....
