A lot of Duke fans in the national narrative-setting sports media. It'll continue to be a discussion.

Exactly. It's a popularity contest designed to reward media darlings. Broome is consistently the best, but he is not super flashy. Steadily plays his game and surprises you with his numbers at the end.

I'll be angry if he doesn't get it because it is a no-brainer. I am anticipating being a little angry.

Same here. He was definitely getting the love last night, but the national media spurts a bit of jizz every time they say the name, COOPER FLAGG!!!

If we get anything close to that type of all around game from CBM every night, I don't think anybody can stop this team.

Remember when a tennis player was SEC Male Athlete of the year for 2010?

That had some to do with Dan Mullen, the REC, and a few national pundits pushing an unsubstantiated narrative about the greatest college football player of all time.

Bo was the greatest college athlete of all time. Cam willed/led us to a National Title. He gets the designation for football.

I will cut you!

This is in no way said to discredit Cam, and what he did. He got the ring, the trophy and the statue. All well deserved!

You always hear people say there's no way Auburn wins the MNC without Cam. Well thanks, Captain Blatantly Obvious. However, I always argue that we don't even sniff that Natty without Nick Fairley. The man singlehandedly changed the outcome of quite a few games, including the Iron Bowl and National Championship game with the 4th down goal line stop.

You listen here, Mr. Man! Nick Fairley was a certified badass. Darvin Adams was highly underrated. Comparing the 2010 Auburn roster to the 1983 one? I think the one in '83 had a better supporting cast overall. If I could take either one back in their prime for a chance at a championship, I am taking Cam. He touched the ball almost every play and did superhuman shiz 75% of the time.

We finish with three ranked teams. Duke doesn't and it truly is a no brainer.

Cam led the greatest comeback in Iron Bowl history.
It was always Punt Bama Punt until that day for my two cents.
Probably never been a stronger hate campaign levied against college athlete as well IMO.

CBM does makes a nice villain on the hardwood for the haters but it doesn't carry the same level of vitriol.

"You know how many SEC programs have been ranked No. 1 in the AP poll for as many as seven consecutive weeks? Ever? Only two, Kentucky and this Auburn team.

You know how many SEC programs have won at least 25 games in six of the last eight seasons? Only one, Auburn, though Tennessee can match that run with two more victories."

Elated to win the regular season conference title
There are two differing thoughts among the talking heads, one (from O&B honks) that last night didn't matter. The other supposedly comes from the Pope camp that the secret sauce to taking down Auburn is to force everything through Johni.
Texas A@M finally played some defense last night and really worked the boards.
They had much more to play for after dropping four straight and I think we are in really good shape heading into the dance especially with our guard play and defense.
In it to win it.
