It sounds like Gabe Wright is bucking to become the designated asshole on Auburn’s defensive line.
… Next week, Auburn visits Athens, which means Wright will meet one of his former high school teammates from Columbus, Ga. Running back Isaiah Crowell could face Wright in Athens, although Crowell is suspended for Georgia’s game against New Mexico State Saturday because of a failed drug test, according to the Associated Press.
A Wright-Crowell showdown would be their first public appearance together since they sat side-by-side on signing day, when one chose Auburn and the other chose Georgia with theatrics.
Crowell upstaged every recruit in America when, instead of putting on a Georgia cap, he pulled out a bulldog puppy.
After the ceremony, the dog disappeared.
“From what I hear,” Wright said, “he just rented it.”

Seems to me there’s plenty of time to get ready, if they’re following #90’s example. He never arrived until after the play was over.
The fact that even a year later, Auburn fans continue to hold up his performance in the Georgia game as something to be proud of tells you everything that you need to know about the Auburn Family. We’ve had guys play dirty before. I don’t boast about it afterwards.
LikeLike
No boast there. I think more people believe Fairley arrived during the play, as evidenced by his 1st team AA status and his Lombardi Award. His late hit on Murray was brutal, uncalled for, and rightfully flagged. The hit to the knee was not. He was going for the QB during the play, and was being blocked by one of your o linemen. I guess he was “after ” another player on the ground when two of your linemen jumped on top of him at that point, which started the whole mess at the end of the game, with two of my idiots throwing punches and almost the entire UGA team running onto the field.

Fairley’s and Taylor’s actions were thuggish and I have never used that term until now. They ratcheted the play from a game to a street fight. That kind of play in Athens could incite removal from the game and I don’t mean by officials. It’s dangerous and the fan mentality has a short fuse from that unpunished series of incidents.
“Between the hedges” has a gang mentality from long ago whereby the opposing gang was kept between the hedges to prevent escape from punishment. You may get a modern day sampling of same this weekend.

I am amazed that some people still believe that Fairley’s hit on Murrsy’s knee was clean.
Even more amazed that someone still thinks that one of our offensive lineman actually somehow caused Fairley to (quite obviously) dive and put the crown of his helmet into Murray’s knee. He had to dive. The block was moving him (or trying to) the exact opposite direction.

Those 2 plays are only half of the obvious shots @ Murray last year. Lest we forget
1) the grinding of his helmet into Murray’s chin after a tackle, opening a gash that had to be taped shut the rest of the game and required several stitches afterwards.
2) after the tackle of Murray following a scramble around the left side, unFairley proceeded to put his knee on the back of Murray’s neck and apply 300+ lbs of pressure before getting off of him.
…it’s amazing how the Aubies have such a convenient and selective memory.

This is always the unmentioned point with AubieCanes, because it is so undefensible. They quickly move to a discussion of other plays, or hide behind the number of flags an SEC threw (as if that strengthens their position!). Point #1 is the most obvious play to show what this guy is about because it has nothing to do with what happens within a football play, but after all action had stopped. And it isn’t like UGA had the only complaints about this thug. He should be banned from football, there is no place for a player like that.

And your and Go Dawgs comments nail it. We all have aathletes that embarrass us at times, some bring shame, but only Auburn celebrates the worst among us. Can you imagine posters on this blog supporting any former UGA player that had acted like Fairly the Fairy? I can’t, just wouldn’t happen (OK, maybe the worst 2% among us—–the win at all cost crowd.) How screwed up is that for an entire fanbase, staff, and administration to ignore this?
Kick them the hell out of the SEC, they do not belong in this great sport, and certainly not in a conference that we are a part of. Can’t be affiliated with thugs and cheaters, you get smeared by association. Every since last November, I have never accepted Auburn’s SEC inclusion in any discussion I have had. Muslim clerics should learn from this, if you don’t want to be linked to the cowards and murderers, push them out. Slime should heed this as well.

Again, almost without exception, the entire population of people who associate themselves with Auburn have IQs that are below the national average.
Interestingly enough, they are almost cult-like in their ability to be intellectually dishonest about their institution’s history and continued pattern of cheating and unethical behavior.
Auburn is and always has been a renegade institution full of people who were rejected from institutions in the South that can afford to be discriminating in their acceptance policies, namely, the University of Georgia.
I think we all know people who “chose” to go to Auburn. Generally, it is the people we all snigger about behind their backs.

I attended the 1972 game. This was my first ever away game… in fifth grade.

Lost that game by a couple of touchdowns. Hated their ass ever since.
Returned in 1980 for that glorious game in the rain. Man, was it magical. Will never go back as that experience cannot be topped.
