Hater isn't the best word to use. There's a huge difference in rooting for/against sports teams/players than hating them.

Singling out one person is a hater.

The SEC in general produces pretty good football teams and players. Except Tim Tebow.

That's not rooting against a team. That's hating a person.

I realize that you do not think so because you are like most other sports fans that think saying negative things is okay as long as it is in sports. I continue to disagree with that philosophy. It is entirely possible to be a rabid fan of my team without saying anything negative about anyone else's team. I love the Patriots. But I don't go around posting anti-Jets negativity, even after Monday night's game. That would only upset the Jets fans on the boards who are my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.

I apologize for the misconstruation of my words. I was extremely tired when I posted that.

I only dislike Tebow as a player. I greatly admire him as a disciple of Christ, but the reason for my disdain of him as a football player originates from the 2009 National Championship game between the Sooners and the Gators. I generally hate the Gators (mostly a bunch of arrogant punks). But in college ball, you can run rampant and put up gaudy numbers like Tebow did, but the NFL is a whole different cookie. There are very few good "scrambling" QB's (Vick is the only one that comes to mind) in the NFL.

And about Cam Newton, he sounds suspicious and I do not really like him initially as a player or person. College greats rarely become NFL greats.

Do you believe there is a difference between joking and bullying?

I believe the bully only thinks he's joking.

I cannot plus one that enough.

you guys are tebow??  boo!!!!!!!  lol   
naw he seems like a great guy!  (i just hate the broncos and gators! lol ;p)

A receiver also dropped one of his passes that would have been a 20-30 yard TD.

The good thing for Orton though is that there are a couple QB's that are starters that are not that great and he'll be able to take one of their spots.

Back to the original topic, I think Auburn will win because they have shown more against a lot tougher teams than Oregon.  Oregon has a good offense, but their key is the running game, and Auburn's strong point on defense is stopping the running game. 

Oregon and Auburn are very similar on style of offense and some would say they both have a lack of defense, but Auburn's defense has come through when it mattered this season.

Plus, while Auburn is in no way a one man team like so many people want to make it sound, they do have a huge wildcard with Cam Newton. 

If Oregon had played Alabama and been down 24 -0 would they have been able to come back and win it? Maybe, but it's hard to know since I don't think Oregon has played anyone that great all season.

I could end up being wrong, but I don't think Oregon can hold up to what Auburn has.

Oh, and Tim Tebow was and still is a very good football player.

But nevertheless Auburn will win because Cam Newton will do something magical. He does everything that he's payed for. lol

 

Cam Newton officially killed this thread.
