Auburn football = the craziest (1 Viewer)

Honestly if Florida State did this I would be completely embarrassed. It just seems so corny. It's like some guy lying to himself that he has 20 grand in the bank while he's broke.

Please, none of these large programs today have any humility or greater since of morality over the other. It's all about marketing and in the end, money. FSU is the most recent example with Jameis Winston. I'm not claiming any of the others would have handled it differently but FSU is right up there at the top with the rest of the anything for money group.

I never said any of these schools had any morality. They're all whores. But how is playing Jameis Winston the same as claiming a bunch of fake titles that everybody is laughing about?

Before you say what I know you're going to say, keep in mind he was never charged, which makes a pretty big difference IMO. If they played that guy after he caught a rape charge, I would've stopped donating and I'm sure a lot of others would have as well.

It's not remotely the same. I guess if we were all of a sudden going to be embarrassed by our programs it would come first from protecting criminals of all sorts and not revisionist history. Maybe I'm wrong about that.

Let me get it right. You will donate if they play a likely rapist but won't if he's charged? Right.

He's not a likely rapist. Maybe he is in your book and with every college football message board troll in America, but a prosecutor who doesn't give two ####s about the program didn't charge him.

I have a legal background and read most of the documents and he would have never got convicted. Sorry.

For the record, I donated to FSU whether he was charged or not and actually prefer they did play him because he made me money on tickets by winning. I'm not piling on them for that I'm the first one not to care as long as I make a buck. It's up to FSU to police that, not me. But let's all admit all we care about is either the program winning or money.

I've never said otherwise. I don't even care if these guys go to class.

As far as Auburn it's a recruiting and/or marketing thing. Again I think they should claim all or none of the obscure ones. Not the some of them approach they appear to be heading toward. It's about recruiting or marketing and therefore in the end, winning and/or money.

It's still corny as hell and probably not worth the trouble. But whatever sells more hats to the hayseeds.

No need to be sorry. I don't really care what he did or didn't do. Just making the point that no fans of these programs are truly embarrassed by anything, much less how many titles they claim.

I'm embarrassed by our new logo.

Anyone who's been to the Auburn/Bama game - where is the best place for a group of non-fans to experience the rivalry, when it's at Auburn or Alabama?

You can't go wrong either way, but it depends on what you are looking for outside the game itself.

Ttown is larger and has more night life...is also easier to get to...but Auburn is a great place to see a game too, and gives you more of a small college town atmosphere.
