Well, except for this: Newton leads Auburn to its biggest win in several years and the school won’t make him available to the press afterward.
I doubt it’s because he has nothing to say.

Quote Of The Day

“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

Get The Picture 
The final two minutes of the AU game were disturbing, to say the least. A team that’s ahead by 18 first takes an obvious cheap shot on Murray, then two plays in a row, Auburn players are ejected for throwing fists. What does that say about the football program at AU? To hell with the Newton issue; at least he plays clean football.

It says Auburn is an aggressive team with aggressive coaches.
Can’t say the same for passive Georgia…I must say this is the first time I have ever seen a LOSING team take a knee to end a game.
This was a beatdown into submission.

Would you have preferred to see an all-out brawl break out? I think not. I see that game ending gesture as one with a higher regard for decent, clean play.
BTW–What kind of coach puts a thug back into the game immediately he draws a flag for an obvious and vicious hit? Who lets a thug back into the game after a late spear to the back on a defenseless quarterback?
These actions speak for themselves.

I also think Richt was trying to make sure nobody else got hurt, particularly the backup QB, who might have to play against Tech. I do not fault him at all for taking a knee.

Fairley was cheapshotting like he has all year. What goes around comes around. He will get his due by someone. I think Ben Jones was putting the “pighold” on him. Also, Verne and Danielson make me sick. They latch on to the “hot” player(s) of the moment and perform oral pleasure on him all game. BTW, it did even make me sick when those players were Pollack and Greene.
So what! Newton smiled when he was on the field. They were winning the game. Also, Danielson is a moron if he thinks Fairley was being blocked into Murray. He was just so far into his oral pleasure he couldn’t stop himself.

Good God, what a disgraceful show by Auburn. And at least Newton “plays clean?” Did you not see him slug the defender on that run in the first quarter?
I hate to wish injury on a kid, but a Fairley career-ender would prove there was a God. And Danielson, Lundquist? Goodness. God would prove himself if either of them were found choked to death courtesy of a transvestite’s goober in a seedy motel after their performance tonight.
We lost, as I thought we would. OK. But I hope to hell this game would at least show the rest of the world what kind of program the Tigers/War Eagles/Plainsmen/whatever-they-are-this-year truly are. Any punishment they suffer at the hands of the NCAA is too good for the lot of them.

One more thing, how in the FUCK could anyone allow their son to go play for a team that has Trooper Taylor as a coach. He is a joke!

I agree with you 99%. Trooper is a class A dbag but in his defense he was trying to grab Fairley’s hand not give him a high five. I watched it a couple of times to be sure. Other than that, yes you are right. He is great at waving a towel and giving chest bumps to players though!

How was Newton not flagged for waving to the crowd in the endzone after every touchdown? AJ looks the wrong direction last year against LSU and is flagged.
Also, CBS was deeeeeeep up Newton’s ass all game long, which I can understand, but some of their comments were real head scratchers. AJ pushed off on his long TD? Richt was responsible for the “chippy” play? The last TD by Auburn wasn’t even worth a look?

This begs the continuing question: what on earth is the officiating crew doing allowing play like this to continue? Are the fools blind/paid/stupid?
When will these guys come under serious scrutiny themselves? Fairley plays the way he does because he is coached to do the things, he does and the zebras LET HIM.

We came out and had a great 1st quarter, getting up 21-7.
After that, Auburn absolutely destroyed us 42-10.
As soon as we shriveled up like cowards in the 2nd quarter (conservative offense, running out the clock when we had a minute and a timeout, giving up an onside kick to start the 2nd half) the game was completely over.
Against a better team, you CANNOT let off the gas. This game is another huge, glaring example of why Bobo needs to be fired, and possibly Richt as well.

If you understood football at all, you’d know that padding stats against crap defenses doesn’t make for a good offense.
Our offense doesn’t deliver at critical moments, like:
1) maintaining some momentum in the 2nd half
2) doing something at the end of a half when you have a minute and a timeout.
3) Getting a first down or two when your D desperately needs a break (SC, Ark, zillions of other games the last few years).
Its about more than just points.
And the teams we’ve been scoring tons of points on had crap defenses.
Oh, and we still lost to 6 of them.

Anyway, yes, any event that happens once in a hundred years is going to be due to a confluence of favorable conditions. If you want to argue that it happened only *in spite* of Bobo’s (in)competence, ah, ok, you are certainly entitled to that opinion.
But it strikes me as a slightly more parsimonious that you are simply grumpy and trying to fit the data to what you’ve already decided is true.

Muckbeast, did the Colts shrivel up like cowards when the Saints got the onside kick on them in the superbowl last year? You’re sounding rediculous. We lost because AU was better than us. Not because our guys shriveled up or acted like cowards. C’mon man!

We got blown out because we shriveled.
We may still have lost, but at least we wouldn’t have been embarrassed.
The failure to do anything on offense in the 2nd quarter was a disaster.
The decision to do NOTHING with 1 minute and 1 timeout at the end of the half was a total lack of testicular fortitude.
Giving up the onside kick to start the half was embarrassing, not to mention being partially caused by the stupid choice not to start the game with the ball when we won the toss.
Keep making excuses for Bobo if you want to keep sucking.

We lack passion and any sort of killer instinct. I think the addition of CTG was too little too late. Next season without AJ and Durham we will be toast. Our OL underperformed all year. We have not beaten any teams with a winning record and I’m not sure our 3-4 D can stop GT so we are in for another shoot out which we have been losing all year. No more season tickets for me, I’m too old to watch bad football.

Yeah. There is, and has been, something stinky going on with the football refs about UGA for years. I know, I know, it sounds like a cop-out. But I have been watching it for years. UGA lost the UGA-ARK game this year as a direct result of a no-call on a helmet to helmet hit on our QB. Should have been first and 10 at the ARK 35 with 1 minute to go. Instead a no-call. The lost helmet fumble by Ealey– another blown call. NCAA rules state that the ball is dead when the runner’s helmet comes off, precisely to keep players from diving for a ball bare-headed against players wearing helmets. Should have been UGA ball in the 1. They got that call wrong even when they had about 10 minutes during a TV review to think about it. Remember the national furor over the made-up “celebration” call in the ’09 LSU-UGA game? The refs currently appear to have stopped the flagrant flagging of UGA for phantom fouls as a direct result of the blowback from that. The no-call is their ticket now ’cause the refs can’t get into hot water as much. The players on the other teams know it, too. That’s why they do the stuff they do. Maybe it has something to do with the end zone stomping in ’07 like so many have been saying but I think it has been going on longer than that. The thing is that it really isn’t that hard to prove. You get tapes of all the games and hire an expert (former highly respected ref) to analyze the pattern. I feel certain it is the same refs who are doing this over and over although there are a several of them, not just a couple. You figure out exactly who, you compile a tape of bad calls on each and you get them fired. If the head ref won’t do it he must be in on it (I always thought Redding was anyway) and you get him fired. If Slive won’t do it, you put together a coalition of Presidents from other schools and you get rid of Slive. Trouble is our President, Mike Adams, is such a limpdick that he probably couldn’t pull it off. I hope McGarity sees the light about this. He doesn’t strike me as the type to take it laying down.
