If $$$$ meant so much, they must be cr@pping a goose that this years bowls sucked, TV ratings-wise. Viewership was down across the board, with the exception of the NC, which turned out to be a golden egg.
The NCAA wil hit the U with alot more than just a couple of schollys and a years ban. Call Vegas on this one. They like to make examples out of rogue programs.
They ain't too happy with Jimbo either...the annual Fall fall from grace for the team. Boosters paid too much and invested in the "Saban" facilities to get a crystal. They feel they are due payment.
No, Ruffnek, they wouldn't, and Bama, LSU, UGA, etc would remind them daily of the shady way he goes about the biz. Auburn needs to shake that kind of rep.
I still say start fresh with a newbie that has Auburn ties, like Dameyune Craig, who is on Jimbo Fisher's staff at FSU. He's a great recruiter, and a great guy with football knowledge. He brings no baggage, but doesn't subscribe to the "Cam Newton" way of doing college football business.
Somehow, I find it interesting that Butch Davis enjoys being tied (up) to Arkansas. Did Petrino enjoy being tied up, too? I guess the girlfriend knows that answer.
This coach could have shown a poster of Sylvester eating Tweety bird and would have gotten the same point across. Maybe have his team watch an episode of Tom n Jerry, where the big dog (Huskie) beats up Tom (Tiger...maybe?). You know, dog beats up on cat...nevermind.
