The Bodda Getta

Who are you worried about looking like a whiny little kid to? You saying others have LBS is quite ironic isn't it?

Ok, so by your reasoning and logic you can never make fun of bama claiming their 14 ever. No, people trying to claim titles that we didn't play for is pathetic and childish. It puts us on the same level with the Bama fans we all make fun of for claiming 14 titles. Honestly, how does no one see the irony in this?

You'd have to pay me to read that garbage. Writing a book about "unclaimed" championships is nothing but loser talk.

Its kinda like telling a story of that time when you "almost" hooked up with that really hot broad. Waste of time, bruhs.

I don't see why anyone would have a problem with claiming the two seasons we went undefeated (93-2004). We consistently took down powerhouses week after week. IMO the playres need to be recognized as national champions, which they truly deserve. Before you start saying, "we shouldn't want to be like bama" blah blah blah, we went undefeated in the sec for goodness sake. How many of there crazy clamed MNC's did they actually go undefeated? Anyway, whatever Auburn decides I look at those teams as National Champions because they were the best team in the country those two years!

So you are advocating creating an Auburn propaganda campaign based on lies?

Bumped and ordered.

That's BAMA. Not Auburn. If you want to be on the same level with those morons that claim titles that aren't theirs, you be my guest. Again with the hypocrisy on this board. You all sit there and laugh all day at Bama for claiming 14 and now you are wanting to do the the EXACT. same. thing.

The national championship system in college football is a joke. Preconceived notions, preseason polls, team and conference affiliations and bias, money, media-driven propoganda... have traditionally had too much say in the process. Case in point is the 2004 team. I watched every Auburn game and ESPN's wishy washy responses to them. If you think that USC was outright the better team, then you weren't paying attention.

I don't need someone else's opinion to decide for me who is the national champion. Since NCs aren't determined on the field, I will choose my own. Additionally, I want to know about these seven National Championship worthy teams. I look forward to reading the book.

On a second note, Auburn is way behind the curve on the perception war in college football when it doesn't have to be. It's history should be included with the best programs and traditions that college football has to offer. Changing the national perception would be invaluable to the football program. Just ask Bama; they do it better than anyone. To get back to the top, they were "back" countless times on the cover of Sports Illustrated, won mythical recruiting national championships, and proclaimed Saban the best thing ever. Their counting additional NCs is all part of their strategy. The sports industry is inundated with Alabama journalism graduates that put an Alabama spin at every opportunity. That's why their recruiting violation rumors are barely a blip on the radar - Julio Jones fishing trip, players wearing suits, recruits being steered to change schools, etc. Meanwhile, Auburn is still suffering from the unprecedented and unwarranted media onslought regarding Cam Newton.

You don't even have to proclaim these teams as national champions. Proclaiming them as National Championship worthy, however, does not sacrifice integrity. Notre Dame does not claim all of the championships that they could in their football program. They do, however, still mention their other championship-worthy teams. I recognize that Auburn does not have a journalism department. Though with all of the money and prestige generated by college football, one would think that Auburn would take advantage of its impressive history and challenge those that dare purport that Auburn is anything less than a top-tier program. Fight the perception war and create advantages for the program.

I dont think you are getting the picture. People make fun of them claiming national championships when they lost 2 or more games and didn't even finish in the top 10. Heck they claim some after losing their bowl game! That is totally different than finishing the season undefeated like we did. If you can't see a difference in that then there is no point even debating this topic with you. We'll just have to agree to disagree.
