Totally agree that Tubs never got caught. The boy was good. Gotta' give him props.
I still have to give this staff a complete pass on the national cloud thing until I hear something, anything more than Shane saying they must have. Cam thrust himself into the spotlight with his stature, his ability, his play and equally important, his charisma and leadership. He was an easy target and Auburn was along for the ride whether they wanted to be or not. The finger has been pointed squarely at Auburn when there hasn't been even one shred of evidence to remotely suggest they did anything wrong.
This is no knock on Tubs at all..but what did 10 years of a perceived clean program get us? Sounds like a crazy question and I certainly want our staff to run a clean program. However, as soon as this allegation broke, it was like taking a time machine back to 1993. Auburn was again being ripped as the dirtiest program in history, blah blah blah. Point being, Auburn and just about anyone in the SEC who is accused of indiscretion, is going to automatically fall into the same group of dirty SEC programs. It's the norm for us. The way the game is played down south according to the rest of the country.
Except Miss. State. Nobody likes Miss. State. Nobody
