Also, its not Bama fans that are bringing up all these NCAA allegations against Auburn. The New York Times, Fox Sports, HBO, etc dont have anything to do with Alabama

Jeff Lee is MR AUBURN HOMER NEWS and he is the one who is now coming up with allegations against the Tide to deflect some negative attention away from his own school.

either that or you are not a real fan and neither are your "friends"

every Bama fan I know was sick to their stomach when SCAM and the Boogs won a title

I agree with the lunatic fringe comment… although Jeff Lee operates the Auburn rivals site… you really expect the "lunatic fringe" to be toothless guys sitting in a chair behind a gas station, not the main source of information on Auburn recruiting etc.

although it sounds like J Lee will get whats coming to him…. sounds like he is about to get his ass sued, by the "supporter" he claims paid Brent Calloway… and Mr Lee has gone MIA today not appearing on any of his scheduled appearances to back up his claims

I guess that is the difference between the New York Times or HBO, and a hack blogger and lunatic AU fan who somehow came to operate a website with a somewhat credible name (rivals). It might be fun to start bs rumors about your rivals school anonymously on a message board… but when you take it to the news you better damn sure have your facts right… and if I had to bet I'd say Jeff Lee ends up out of a job over this blunder

It's "journalists" like you, John, perpetuating the fringe elements as mainstream.

Auburn is a fringe fanbase supporting an entity with a long history of institutional wrongdoing, much different than many of these other schools. Auburn's SACS probation is the biggest blow to their credibility, their APR disparity among minority athletes, angering MANY other fanbases by questionable recruit "flipping", a long and documented history of institutional PFP, and their all out attacks on any person or business who dares to question Auburn tactics. Auburn also ranks as the #1 school for "oversigning" in the SEC and the #3 all time NCAA violator. Auburn has also won most of the last five years votes for dirtiest football players of the year according to several national websites.

John, you have it entirely wrong to assert that because UofA is in the same state as Auburn, it somehow equates the fanbases.
Do your research and stop listening to Finebaum (an FSU grad, by the way).

Berating fanbases? We're pointing out that the lunatic fringe gives the majority of Alabama and Auburn fans a bad name. And judging from the emails we get on a daily basis, the majority of Alabama and Auburn fans agree with us.

John

Let me repeat that, if you even joked about Auburn cheating or Cam last season on the rivals network… your personal information would end up in a post on the Auburn message board so that Auburn fans could anonymously take whatever revenge on you that they saw fit (including identity theft)

When you talk about having journalistic standards, and berating SEC fanbases… maybe you should consider your source more carefully next time. I mean who is the source for your next big story… Shane from Centerpoint or I-MAN ?
