Auburn Conspiracies After the Georgia Game

[AlistarWills]

I have been struggling with the “booster paying the player scenario” lately. I cannot comprehend handing gob piles of money to some player to get them to play for your team. What do you get from it? I see nothing of value coming from the transaction. There is literally nothing but the ability to brag for the one who gave the money. Right? Someone help me out here.

Let's all be honest - brutally so, if necessary:

Auburn's program has been a train wreck since just before the end of the Pat Dye Regime. And Dye was the only stability they've had in the damn near half century since Shug Jordan left.

Look at what they've done:
- hired Terry Bowden, with zero relevant experience, to replace Dye
- basically let Bowden know he was done just six games after he won their first division title
- hired a guy (Tubs) who couldn't beat Alabama
- kept him around solely because he was able to beat a severely crippled Alabama for several years
- even then tried to replace him while he was still coach (secretly via Jetgate)
- fired him (or he quit) and hired a 5-19 coach from Iowa St
- fired that guy two years after a controversial national championship
- hired the OC from the 2010 team, who opened with a splash
- overpaid him out of a crippling fear he'd whip them at (checks notes) Arkansas
- hired Mr. Potato Head and shot him out of a cannon
- hired a sex addict cheater ONLY because he had a record of success against Alabama

Seriously - their entire program is a reaction to ours. They either hire a guy who has beaten us or they overpay to keep someone they fear will humiliate them. And let's face it, Gus only had leverage because of three improbable wins in 2010, 2013, and 2017. That one win over us (2019) cost them $49 million.

Correspondingly, they go out and hire OK's QB who beat us last year, but otherwise, wasn't that good!

Wasn't it called a fumble on the field?

The issue was the arm and the ball were similar in color so it was hard for some people to differentiate (ironically there was a very controversial Auburn play a few years ago with a similar problem). From what I could tell the arm was in there and the ball was moving before it crossed the line. Either way, I don't think there was enough proof to overturn a call on the field.

The announcer went really hard on thinking it was a touchdown and oversold it, I think it was even walked back a bit after a break where something along the lines of each side will see it differently or something but it was one of those issues where they didn't do the audience any good by pretending something was clear when it wasn't. I watched a game last week with a similar issue, commentators and even the review booth were in agreement a foot was in bound and over-turned a call, but even fans of the team that benefited admitted you couldn't actually see that his foot was in bounds because it was obscured by an arm.

You just can't over-turn stuff because you think something happened, you have to do it because you know something happened and in this case I think they did it how they were supposed to, unlike a lot of other stuff in the game.

This is what happens when announcers become fans in the game. Make the call of the play have a comment let replay make a decision. Cool down move on and call the next play. Once again it was obvious that a news crew was invested in a certain outcome and it colored their reporting this is not what it means to be a color commentator

Don’t forget, they’re paying their QB from Oklahoma just because he beat Bama last year. Freeze can’t develop a quarterback. He doesn’t know how.

Sorry, I didn't see your post, but I posted the same afterwards.

yeah, that's what is so hard for me to grasp. what is the actual return on investment for these massive amounts of money?

so, to summarize,

s.n.a.s.s.

Let’s not forget…all this happened on the night that they retired $cam’s jersey. I don’t believe in karma but …. Bahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Aaaaaaaaaaa
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

You can clearly see here that the ball crossed the goal line...

You know what i bet "they" even faked the moon landing just to screw over auburn.

This is true. Auburn Engineering had already planned to “upstage” NASA by landing “the first man on the Sun”. When other scientists warned it was a crazy idea because the heat would kill them, the plan was revised.

They would still send a flight to the Sun. But it would be safer because they would do it …AT NIGHT.”

How appropriate. One of the weirdest games in Auburn history on the night they retire the jersey of one of the weirdest players in Auburn history.

Irony is just so…..ironic.

The crew chief for the game once had the red velvet pancakes at the IHOP on Skyline Drive. Coincidence? I think not….

Wasn't the SEC office in Birmingham when Auburn won the 2010 national championship, when we got screwed in the 2019 Iron Bowl and - oh yeah - when they screwed us with those seven straight opponents with an off week in 2010?

Or.....did they move it out temporarily?

Asking for a friend.

“The SEC office is in Birmingham” is the Auburn version of, “SEC teams are afraid to play up north in December.” It’s a vacancy designed to SUGGEST a conspiracy but do so in a clever and cowardly way to give the person saying it deniability (“ that’s not what I meant!”). “Saban left once everyone could pay players” is another one.

Anyone who ever says any of these phrases probably would find OJ innocent even with him committing the murders on video.

And Calzada from Texas 8&4 before that...

 

[NoNC4Tubs]

The joke is, now that he is at the Barn and “Auburn Man”, he became smart enough to use a burner.

They have a class there for that...no doubt.
