amazing.
shit makes me puke. i really deep down hope aubarn burns to the ground over this whole cam newton thing.
Cecil should be at the
Heistman. After all he is Cam’s pimp.
And, it really is sad what is going on with this award. When you compare Ingram, and the other recent winners Tebow and Bradford, with Cam, well it is a shame and a sham.
Ingram, Tebow and Bradford were not only great players, but also great people. They all represented their schools well and were/are roll models for young people. Cam is a theif, a liar, a cheat, and in general a discrace to CFB. His antics after an Auburn win represent all that is wrong with football and yet the Aubies eat it up.
I just hope the old Heisman jinks returns for the bowl game.
If Auburn was in New Mexico and we never played them I would still hate them and their dumb coach and their cheating players.

+1 for so much truth

Yeah, wonder
how much Cecil would be willing to take for the Heistman.
If Auburn was in New Mexico and we never played them I would still hate them and their dumb coach and their cheating players.
rec'd for speaking my mind.

But, but dontcha just love Cam's award winning smile? His entheusiasm is infectuous.
He’s soooo good for the game-the way he exhorts the crowd and all.
Damn, gonna miss him next season.
Wow, they are really rubbing peoples face in their shit and thumbing their nose at the
NCAA.
Bama's Pluck and Grit have Writ Her Name in Crimson Flame
This is typical.
I hope the FBI/NCAA breaks it off in their collective cheating asses.
Funnier yet, what's the penalties for playing a player after contact with an inpermissable agent?
Wouldn’t it be a riot to find out they did no wrong and were getting off under this “loophole”, if you will. But this travel with his father he is ineligible for the BCSNCG, thus making their perfect season intact, but their pride that made their fall.
Of course I’m not holding my breath.

The funniest thing about all of this...
…is Cecil and Cam are wiping their asses with the “Auburn Creed” and , what little tradition the boogs have…but, they’ll take it…because they can’t get it any other way.

No Suprise
So much for that whole limited access to the program, the NCAA must be so proud of the barns “compliance” with their self imposed sanctions on cecil newton. If they were serious about sending a message they would ban him from the building, come to think of it they are sending a message that the SEC, NCAA rules be damned we are “all in” on this cheating program. I hope the tv cameras show cecils face early and often during the ceremony and while $cam is making his acceptance speech.
It's not about that...
it’s about the boogs making good on their own imposed promises.

Auburn
Auburn “voluntarily” limited his access to the football team, and this would be the time to actually punish cecil, like thats going to happen.
Cecil is being flown to New York to sit in the area designated for Cam’s guests. The DTAC/Heisman Trust pays for this and it’s not a benefit provided by Auburn. All Auburn does is get the info from Cam and give it to DTAC. Neither Auburn, the SEC, nor the NCAA can prevent the DTAC from paying fro Cecil’s travel to/from New York.
D1 Bylaw 19.5.2.6 states that when a school disassociates itself from an individual it cannot accept any money or other assistance from the individual, allow the individual to have any benefits from the school that is not generally available to the public, or take other action that is in it’s power to limit the individual’s involvement with the athletic department. The only action that is remotely close to this situation would be the last one. However, I fail to see how it’s oin Awbarn’s authority to ban Cecil from a DTAC event.
OK, I see your point...
but at face value, this is a huge kick in the nuts to the NCAA, the SEC, to Auburn, and to the Heisman voters who were on the fence but decided to give the kid the benefit of the doubt.
I would imagine there are some Heisman voters would like to get their votes back in light of this news.
"There's a lot of blood, sweat, and guts between dreams and success" - Coach Bryant
Ok, well that’s totally different. And I have read that many Heisman voters are pissed about this. It is totally classless of Cecil to come. And, maybe the DTAC should ask Cecil to stay home/at the hotel. But I don’t see how the NCAA or Auburn could have banned Cecil.
right...
I did not have all the facts (and this is one time I did not care to gather them). AU’s only role in this may be as the messenger, but this still tarnishes everything the Heisman is about.
There’s gonna be a big damn elephant distraction in that room that will be undeniable.

The problem though is, if Cam is innocent you are punishing him because his dad a crook. How pissed were you last year when MI Sr. couldn’t come? If you’re anything like me, a lot. I know Mark wished his dad was their. And I know Cam would want his dad there, even if he is a crook. Should the DTAC do that to (potentially) one of their own? It sure is bad and it is giving the DTAC a black eye, but telling a potential (and presumptive) Heisman winner that your dad can’t watch the biggest moment of your life would dot their other eye.
Comparing Cecil to Mark Sr is apples to oranges...
Cecil tried to cheat the game and weaseled his way around the system (that now has to be reformed). Mark Sr only tarnished his own name with his actions.
I would doubt that anyone withheld their vote from Mark Jr due to his dad’s transgressions. However, it is estimated that as many as 10% of voters are withholding their vote from the best player in college football due to his dad’s transgressions.
As we stand today, Cam is innocent, Cecil is not. I may be in the minority here, but I would applaude the DTAC for denying Cecil’s request for attendance due to his attempt to tarnish what the Heisman represents: achievement at the AMATEUR level.

Yeah I get that comparing MI Sr to Cecil is apples to oranges but I was comparing how MI felt about his dad not being there and how Cam would feel about his dad not being there. In thins case, it would be the DTAC hurting Cam instead of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. They are doing this for Cam not Cecil. While Cecil should be punish, Cam should not.
10-4, I see your point.

and there's that...

Playing devil's advocate, I'll make an argument and see if it holds any water.
Since the Heisman is an award based on performance as a college football player, for the purposes of this event Cam is a representative of Auburn. As such Cecil’s presence at this event as an associate of Cam’s constitutes an involvement between Auburn and Cecil, which may be prohibited depending on how you define “limited access.”
Here is what I'm wondering.
Is Auburn paying Cecil’s way to the event? Or did Auburn just request a seat for him at the event. I’d think Cecil could have gotten a seat at the event on his own.
If Auburn was in New Mexico and we never played them I would still hate them and their dumb coach and their cheating players.
He should be able to...
…he’s got plenty of cash….
