Can Oregon Stop Cam Newton In The Championship?

That is a sexist remark and reveals more about your low brow mentality. Reading your comments, you just sound like an annoying jerk who has no upside.

You enjoy being annoying on a daily basis?

I feel sorry for your tortured wife or girlfriend (if you have one, which I doubt).

What a 6th grader comeback ! You make yourself look like a middle schooler who is talking back trying to get some cheap yuks at the expense of the lesson. Why? Because you have nothing intelligent to say.

"I'll agree to that DOT DOT DOT"

 Who are you agreeing with, yourself? What are you some kind of split personality schizo?

You know, I was leaning towards Auburn, impressed by their last two games, as most of America was. As gametime gets closer, I am having second thoughts about Auburn, and especially their collective fan base mentality which is sad. I don't think you people ever break down a game and understand how it unfolds. You just want to be on the side that's winning and put down all the teams that come up short against them. You will not even be able to enjoy the game because you have no understanding of it--you simply look at the scoreboard. You will abandon Auburn and then look next year for a winning team that seems to represent your abysmal personality and because you root for them and identify with them this makes you a winner.

Sorry, schizo, you are a loser. The sooner you face that reality, the less deluded you perhaps will become. I hope you are able to understand these words, I know it is a lot of reading and logic for someone with a comic book level of vocabulary--but BOL.

Alabama showed a lot of class winning last year, including their fans. Mark Ingraham was a great representative as well, and appreciated around the country--not just the south.

Auburn just appears to be the jealous little sister who feels neglected and wants a taste of that glory--but may not be up to the task.

Auburn is on the "wrong side of the tracks," that can't get the scholar athlete like Alabama. They are the darker shadow of the Crimson Tide.

If Auburn does hold up that trophy, it just isn't going to feel right. They are trying to "prove something." But maybe they have had their trophy season before the big game.. They are now #1. Cam is the certain Heisman winner. The last step might be a slippery one, and the glass slipper might not fit on the foot of this evil, badgering sister.

Even these posters coming out of the woodwork are annoying and ignorant, and they make you feel uncomfortable and leave you with the creeps. Let's face it folks, this is not Alabama.

Right now I choose Auburn to win the game. But I don't have any good feelings about the team and the coach and Cam Newton and N. Fairley. There were just a few too many FG wins, and we saw how Boise State paid an awful price for relying on a kicker to bail them out of a nasty fight on the road. There's a lot of time that is passing, and Auburn may have a disadvantage with the layoff--they are far more methodical, slow starting and perhaps too cocky about their abilities to comeback, make adjustments, gather themselves, whatever.

Oregon will not be taking time to be dazzled by a gymnastic-like TD from CAM, as they will be turning it up and moving the ball down the field quickly--probably while the TV audience is watching the replay for the 22nd time. Oregon put up 48 on an SEC defense as if it were any other defense. They wore them down with tempo. LaMichael James ran for over 150 yards.

“We didn’t make any adjustments in the second half,” James said. “It comes down to tempo. Once the tempo gets going, it’s hard to stop. Once those guys (on Tennesee) got tired we kept rolling.”

 Auburn did not face Tennesee this year, but probably their offense would have dominated late in the game. The Volunteers have not had a Manning-like presence back there for awhile--but they have that same hard hitting SEC defense.

Auburn's defense has not impressed, and they kept mediocre teams in ball games late, and would have lost to Miss St and Clemson were it not for FG kicking mistakes and a dropped pass by Miss St. This offense of Oregon is not an awkward and clumsy pro-style offense that we see in Miss St and Clemson--the Tigers especially are pitiful to watch with the ball on offense and can hardly get to 20 points at the end of a game. It is putrid and boring--even Clemson fans will admit that.

Cam cannot win this alone. It has to be a complete team effort. But I believe Oregon could sucker Auburn into their style of game, and Auburn will have difficulty containing a polished offense that doesn't give a damn about trench warfare because it's irrelevant and meaningless when the ball is being aired out to a wide open receiver.

For now I choose Auburn, but the choice is on the razor's edge.

Oh, since you left middle school and started working at the Arby's near the campus, you've come into some "disposable income?" Think I've seen you before come to think of it.  How much is it, this "largest wager in my 5 years of sports betting" like a whole $20? Wow! Please don't overcook my french fries or serve them to me cold, or I WILL ask you to make them again. Dousche.

More gaseous hot air from yet another "Auburn Tiger", and this latest one from his first post.

Remember last year anyone?

Let's change the sentence shall we?

"I am an  Alabama Crimson Tide fan, and just had to respond to..."

Remember how more respectful and thoughtful the U of A fans were? I do.

Something is telling me that  Auburn fans are like the Oakland Raider fans of the Bay area. Lock the doors. Keep one hand on the revolver.

33,800 K  

Is that Slovenian korunas?

If it's dollars, Gee, you might be able to get 1/4 of my Hummer for that, and all courtesy of Cam Newton's "negotiations" under the table. Nice.

SEC has set a record for having every one of its sports teams on NCAA sanctions. If just Vanderbilt can do it this year, that will make it 3 times. Not one conference has done what YOUR conference has done!

How do you relate to an entire conference? Do you jump on the bandwagon of any one of them when they win? Why? Are you a Vanderbilt fan if they are undefeated next year?

Are you an insecure uneducated southern boy who's all alone in the big world and can only relate to the BIG BIG universe through a football team?

Sad little existence. Hey man, put all of your 33,800 korunas on auburn if you feel THAT strong about your conference.

If you don't, then you are a big shameless box who talks but doesn't put out. Imagine all that profit big boy and you're too afraid to put it all on auburn and "let it ride."

C'mon, box...do it!

ive enjoyed this thread, so i thought id give my take....and i have no allegiance to either school or conference

No different than 99% of every football game ever played, this game will be won at the line of scrimmage.  Auburn's offensive is the best ive seen this year.  you dont hear about them because of cam and malzahn, but this group is nasty.  oregon's defensive line is undersized and i dont see how they slow down auburn's ground game.  auburn will run down hill on these guys all game long.  i dont care how many guys oregon "rotates".  this is a complete mismatch.

defensively, auburn's front four has made plays all year.  go back and watch every game this year.  they make game changing plays week in and week out.  i think they get in oregons backfield and disrupt thomas, james, and huff at least 3 or 4 times causing oregon to lose yards, fumble, etc.  they've done it every game and i dont see why they dont here either.

Cam is a difference maker.  he makes the play when it needs to be made. period. especially late when the game is on the line.  oregon has not been in a situation when it had to make a crucial play late in a game to come from behind or seal a game.  if this game is close near the end, auburn has shown the ability to execute late when it matters the most.  oregon hasnt been in those situations so i favor auburn in a close game. 

for the next 5 weeks, these teams will gameplan and try to simulate each other in practice.  both are obviously tough to simulate, but i will say this....oregon has NO WAY of simulating cam newton in practice.  i stood next to him in atlanta last weekend.  i am 6'4, 230.  cam made me feel like a little kid.  put pads on this guy and you just cant imagine someone with his size coming at you. throw in how elusive he is and its damn near unstoppable.  oregon can try to take away his legs in this game, which i dont think they can do anyway, and force him to throw, but hes shown he can make every throw.  i just cant go against this guy. 

again, i have no bias whatsoever. but no way i go against auburn.

Both teams have played like BCS champions. This is one of the few years when I can't really argue that another team was definitely more deserving to play for the title.

These 2 teams have convinced me...but I have to say besides any other analysis Auburn's come from behind wins have shown a lot of poise and heart...they seem to have the "X" factor every champion needs.

So what are you going to do about your bet?

Are you going to hedge your original $1000 with a play on Auburn? Even if you can't get a plus line on Auburn you can a least guarantee some kind of win...or are you just going to let it ride and go for it?

Team that "show up" on that day will win and cover. If I bet on Oregon, I'll take the ML. If I bet on the Tiger, I'll parley the ML+over.

GL, it should be a good 1. I forcast an entertaining game similar to the USC vs Texas a few years back.
