Cheers for Auburn! Hooray--Oregon!...
Even if the BCS--as “an art form”--
is “quite shallow”---it has been “gigantically generous”
to the Southeastern Conference…
With the “Cam Newton Tigers,” the SEC is en route
to its “fifth straight national championship final”…
Florida wound up No. 1 in ‘06…LSU ’07…Florida again
in ’08…Alabama ’09… and, don’t forget LSU in ’03…
If Auburn “out-quacks” the Ducks---the SEC will have
“five consecutive national champs”---SIX in eight years…
There IS, of course, a “sticky subplot”---
“The Cam Case”… for now, “the Quintessential QB” is “undeterred”…
I expect Newton to win the Heisman Trophy
“in a landslide”… He’s THE BEST---far and away…
As for “The Cam Case”--the the NCAA—so far--says
The Kid “was NOT involved”--nor was Auburn University--when
“Daddy Newton” solicited BIG CASH for
“Super Son’s football services”…
But I CAN’T FIGURE how the Newton deal is “all that different”
from the “Reggie Bush Mess”…
the “family” of Southern California’s heroic
2005 tailback “pulled financial shenanigans”…
Bush was awarded the Heisman--
BUT, thanks to what passes for “NCAA Justice”--FOUR YEARS later, “it
was snatched away”… Reggie’s school—USC---was “severely penalized”…
SO, I would NOT be shocked if (A) the NCAA allowed
Cam Newton to go “UN-punished:---OR (B)
that America’s hottest player---maybe EVER---could
STILL have it ALL STRIPPED AWAY… IF that happens--
I am certain “Auburn people” will forever
call it----“THE CAM SHAFT”…
I’m Hubert Mizell, and that’s what I think.
