(iii) What every SEC fan should be talking about after the SECCG, but isn’t?Harbach:There are many things special about the SEC. But one thing in particular that’s special about our fans, or at least most SEC fans. And that is the sense of unity the league feels when playing out of conference games during the season and/or the bowls. Who hasn’t been to a game where the chants of “SEC, SEC, SEC†are screamed at the opponents on the way to a win over one of the other BCS conferences. (RM note: And that the rest of the nation just doesn’t “get it†makes it all the more valuable.) That pride is because ours is the best conference in the country, and coaches, fans and players know that. Well, most of them know that. However, Urban Meyer seems to think that the league is only great when his team is ranked first or second, and while every other SEC coach voted Auburn #1 in the final Coaches Poll, Meyer voted Auburn #2. His excuse was beyond lame; that Auburn and Oregon were 1A and 1B, and as he had Oregon ranked ahead of Auburn for most of the year, he just decided to leave it that way. No, we don’t buy the theory that Meyer was jealous of Cameron Newton’s success at Auburn, nor that this is revenge for some reported stories regarding his culpability in the outing of Newton’s play for pay scandal… It is much more simple than that. Urban Meyer is a self-centered egotist. Remember, Meyer earned a trip to the 2006 BCS National Championship game in part because SEC voters put him ahead of Michigan. While Auburn’s participation in the championship this year was never in doubt after beating SC last Saturday, to not return the favor to his SEC family is as low-rate as it gets. This has nothing to do with Auburn – Meyer would have done this to any of the other 10 teams. This has nothing to with Cam Newton… It is all about Meyer’s wounded ego. Among the other coaches that voted Auburn #1 were Auburn’s biggest rival (Alabama’s Nick Saban), the other half of the Newton scandal (MSU’s Dan Mullen), former Auburn defensive coordinator Paul Rhoads and even former “fired†Auburn head coach Tommy Tuberville!SEC coaches know firsthand how difficult it is to win an SEC Championship, let alone go undefeated in doing it. Meyer having won two of them knows that truth, but he chose to thumb his nose at Auburn and the SEC by voting the PAC 10 ahead of his conference. Florida fans probably don’t care, but they should. People have long memories down south. If Nick Saban and Alabama can vote Auburn #1, along with the rest of the nation mind you, then there’s no reason Urban Meyer can’t do it. No reason other than ego – particularly if the two teams in question are “1A and 1Bâ€. In 2010, if an SEC coach doesn’t believe an unbeaten SEC team is the best in the country, he is lying.
I hope right after his piss ant bowl game he retires-then his wife leaves him.For Tebow.
More like he leaves his wife for Tebow
