The Bodda Getta

Cam needs to move on, in the end AU will still take hits but if Cam leaves things would get better a lot qucker

First, every AU fan should want Cam back unless you don't believe he's an honest guy. I appreciate the "big picture" perspective where we say that it's better for the long term. But wait until we're in Baton Rouge grinding out a game at 10pm with 90,000 drunk cajuns screaming, and make no mistake, we'll miss him.

That said, Trotter is no slouch; he was supposed to lead this team. And looking at the actual financial situation of that family and his likely 1st round status, he'd be crazy to stay. Vol is right, even if he comes back I don't see a repeat (look across the state). Wish Darvin would stay but it sounds like he's pretty anxious to get to the next level. I'm excited about the guys on their way up, I think from QB to CB, we have some great potential over the next 2-4 years. War Eagle!

We have the reputation of Auburn University to fear. I am not willing to risk that for any number of victories.

If we are successful, with or without Cam, it does not matter. When AU has a great FB team...people/media try to drag us thru the mud. If we're an average or below average FB team...you won't hear much about anything.

I for one don't think AU or Cam did anything wrong, nor do I think it matters if he comes back or not: from the standpoint of being judged by the media, you better develop some tough skin. The media will never leave an open wound alone for very long. Every time they mention our 2010 BCS Nat'l Championship they will throw in the comments about the "cloud of suspicion".

It will be ok guys and girls. AU is still AU and we'll continue to be a pain in the ass of all those around us wishing for there to be a period of "domination" real or percieved for their school. Bama, GA, LSU, FL & TN in no particular order all think we should all pucker up and kiss their collective a$$&$ while we are going to the back of the line... This is one of the reasons we kick their butts when we are not suppossed to in the eyes of some. We always play hard and have to work for everything we ever get. Go read the Auburn Creed.

CGC understands the world of football in the SEC and will not rest as indicated by his comments the other day regarding how long he had to rest. None! It's time to get busy with the recruiting.

If you are holding onto a shred of hope for these guys (Fairly, Newton, Adams) to come back I think your gonna be dissapointed. They didn't come to Auburn to be CPA's or Engineers. In the world of football they have earned their diplomas. In the eyes of the NFL Cam and Nick have earned Phd's and are ready to move on. Let them move on and support them. We'll be a different team next year and maybe more than we are even contemplating now. Keep in mind that the coaching carousel is just getting heated.

Personally, Next year I'm going to ram every victory down their throats because it will have happened without Cam. After all, how could this happen when Cam was the only thing we had according to the dunderheads critiqueing our team.

It will all be ok because we are AU.

Yesterday, today, tomorrow and forever... WDE

Get off your high horse man. It is bc of my love for the " auburn family" that I think it would be best for auburn university ( notice I didn't say the auburn football team) that we be satisfied with the season we just had. You should ask yourself why an auburn football victory is more important than the reputation of our cherished institution.

I don't understand some of you guys. First, I'm ok if Cam goes or if he stays. I'm an AU fan first and foremost and I'll be at every home game next year (God willing) just like I was when we were 5-7 in '08. But I find it ridiculous that you can believe than it would perpetuate suspicion of wrongdoing by AU if Cam returns. I think it would indicate quite the opposite. First, that Cam is not just about $$$$$$$$$$$$, and second that he is playing with a clean conscience. Our perception by the national media is not going to change just because Cam goes to the NFL, it's not an out of sight out of mind thing. I have full confidence in our coaching staff to utilize the talent that we have, and I believe we have considerable talent on the roster and certainly that will improve with the incoming class. Remember CGM O's have put up sick numbers with other QBs not named Cam Newton. If you know his philosophy, it is he builds the offense around the strengths of the QB. We'll be fine either way, I just don't get how it helps our image for Cam to leave. I just don't.

So you do not think someone is an Auburn Man if he thinks different from you. I will all ways be an Auburn Man . Cam and his family and been put through hell I just think t is a shame what has happened to him and to Auburn over last few months does not mean I think he did anythig wrong. I think Cecil was the problem and it would have been very hard for him to do the right thing over the next year.
