Auburn got blown out by LSU today 45-10, and it’s Auburn’s third loss so far this season. This after they won the national championship last season. Cam Newton decided to go straight to the NFL after they won last season, rather than spend his senior year playing at Auburn. So I have to wonder: if Cam Newton showed up at today’s game near the end of it and waved to the Auburn fans, would they cheer him as the football hero of last year, or would they pelt him with empty beer cans for abandoning the team to a so-so season and today’s huge blowout loss? I’m just curious.
Having spent some time in Alabama, I know they’re a smidge fanatical about the college football stuff. You’d think that fans of even rival teams from the same state, in this case Alabama, would be happy to root for either team from Alabama whenever one of them is in a championship game (or I would have thought so, anyway), but such is not the case. The fans of Alabama and Auburn so hate each other, it’s practically unbelievable! So while I’d think Auburn fans might be a bit angry at Cam Newton for leaving, I’ll bet Alabama fans all of a sudden completely appreciate Mr. Newton, now that he’s left Auburn in the lurch.
