All this venom only because your "brothers" in the conference refused to polish Newton's knob? We all know that was partly due to jealousy. While they had a Chris Relf, Greg McElroy, or Jordan Jefferson under center, you guys had the greatest player to ever play the game of college football. To say that he was a man amongst boys is a gross understatement. And while Tim Tebow is not in the same stratosphere as Cam Newton, he was public enemy #1 of the SEC and that was with him wearing the Jesus pieces.
Yet, for every ounce of talent, Cam had an equal amount of controversy. Combine the poopstorm that was his recruitment with him carrying Patrick Peterson into the endzone, winning at Alabama after trailing 24-0, and hanging 49 on Georgia... and of course LSU, Alabama, Georgia, and the rest of his SEC victims will hate him.
I see no reason to let fans' collective disdain for all things Cam plop you into the same pot as the pussies of other conferences. I understand why you're pulling for the nail, PSU, against the hammer in the second week of the season -- but, surely don't tell me that you live under the illusion that the fans of Texas A&M, Boise State, FSU, and others think Cam Newton, Brutha Cecil, and Auburn University are squeaky clean. The SEC was taking the whippings, but the nation wasn't involved in a coast-to-coast circle jerk to Cam Newton highlights. He's held in low regard in every city, town, and hamlet not named Auburn, College Park, or Charlotte.
