3 reasons to cheer against Auburn

Before I start, what is Auburn anyway? Who names their school after a hair color? Although.......auburn colored hair is similar to Auburn Football - it looks pretty good but you need to spend a ton to maintain it!

Auburn is #2 in the country, they have a fantastic quarterback, some impressive wins, and a legitimate shot at the BCS Championship game. All disturbingly true.  However, you don't have to peal back the onion very deep to find reasons to cheer against them the next few weeks.

Reason 1: Watch this video...it serves as a great reminder that college football coaching hires can be very misleading See Video. Wonder if that guy still feels the same today about Gene Chizik...lol?

Reason 2: It will be proven Cam Newton received financial benefit to play at their school.  Remember, Cam Newton turned down  6 figure money from Mississippi State to get a "free" education at Auburn (wink, wink).  Sorry Cam, this type of "free education" will eventually make you ineligible, which will eventually make you give back the Heisman Trophy and that cool National Championship trophy.

Reason 3: Good teams like LSU, Boise, TCU, Wisconsin, Ohio State and Nebraska won't get a chance to prove they are worthy because Auburn is going to make a run for it despite fully knowing this run will most likely be foiled by the NCAA.  Assuming they beat Alabama, Auburn playing in the title game will be about as valid as Milli Vanilli's 1990 Grammy Award.

College football is a great game.  Too bad this great season has to be ruined by a school who wants it's day in the sun, despite knowing full well all of it's glory will eventually be taken away.

Go Bama, Go Carolina....we want to see the guy from the video one more time ("Booo Chizik....anyone except Chizik" "5 and 19, booooo")!!!
