I just learned I'm getting Cotton Bowl tickets for Christmas!

Cue lame jokes about Texas A&M being a Division II school in Abilene.

 

Will Gameday be at this Tournament of Cotton Championship?

Last year purple won, but I am pulling for the pink cotton candy this year.

so LSU violated some recruiting restrictions, eh? Maybe Arkansas too, according to the article.

let me know when Auburn is formally accused of something, guys.

 

sure thing. for now there is only a mountain of convincing facts

 

 

you may be convinced, but it's not because of facts that prove AU was involved.

people are going to make fun of Auburn for this. You can either try to ignore it or play a losing game of whack-a-mole. your call.

Patience, non believer. It will be proven in due time.

And to save you some trouble Alabama will have some more violations very soon if they haven't committed any more since the 1st week Saben took over.

FACT: Newton's dad was asking for money for his son to attend Miss St

FACT: Miss St booster/donor offered $180,000 for Cam to play

FACT: Cam's dad told Cam to choose Auburn instead

 

QUESTION: What incentive did the dad see at Auburn that trumped the $180,000 he was offered at Miss St?

I mostly ignore it at this stage, I'm aware that most share Derwood's belief, and I absolutely understand why people believe this. However, If someone is going to reference facts that aren't there right now, then I'm going to call them out on it. Given the nature of this board, I would think that would be considered acceptable behavior.

Since you are 'in the know', what specifically are we waiting on, Old Style?

Mississippi State didn't offer 180k. If that was a fact, the NCAA would have already imposed sanctions on them. They rejected Cecil Newton's request for 180k.

 

I'll again mention that Cecil would have increased his exposure with each and every school he solicited. Did Cecil solicit Oklahoma? Stoops says no. Oklahoma also was a player late in Cam's recruitment.

 

To answer your question, there are several incentives not related to money that Cam would have realized by attending AU over MSU. Auburn had a seasoned offensive line that is considered by many to be the best in the nation. They have an offensive coordinator that is considered by many to be the best in the nation. They have a corp of recievers that are more talented than the receiverse at MSU. They have 3 talented RBs. Auburn is considerably closer to Cam's hometown, Cam's family, than Starkville.

 

Look, I understand why people believe what they believe, but get the facts straight, and don't reference facts that don't presently exist. That's all I ask. I'll remain silent on this issue henceforth as that seems to be what most of the mods wish.
