FoxSports ( CFN ) hurls another hate filled anti Auburn article.

[Aeronaut 0]

The latest from faux Sports is another attack on Auburn because Coach Chizik thanks God.

http://cfn.scout.com/2/1041061.html

In order to not promote their views, here is the sampling:

Sorry if this column sucks, it’s not my fault … it’s not “a part of the Auburn family.”

“Dad, what does the T on the wall stand for?” … Oregon never had a chance against Auburn.

It wasn’t that Cam Newton led an offense that turned out to be more powerful and more resourceful. It wasn’t that the Tiger defensive front was too quick on the outside and too tough up the middle for the Duck running game. It wasn’t that the Auburn offensive line was able to take control in crunch time, Wes Byrum’s ability in the clutch, or Gus Malzahn and the Tiger assistants’ adjustments on the fly.

No, Oregon never had a chance in your 2011 BCS Championship because God wanted Auburn to win.

At least that’s what Gene Chizik wants you to believe.

“Thank God for being a part of the Auburn family,” was just one of the religious references Chizik, Cam “God is using me as an instrument” Newton, and others threw out there as a big part of the reason for the team’s success. Let’s say they’re right and God actually wanted the Auburn Tigers to win the national title.

If Chizik is on the mark, then Iowa State fans have a serious beef. Apparently, God had no interest whatsoever in making the Cyclones competitive under Chizik’s watch, but He managed to steer Newton to Auburn, hired Malzahn, made the NCAA rule decoders all goofy, and turned Nick Fairley into Reggie White. He also made sure the SEC East was miserable, Alabama was in a rebuilding year, and LSU, Arkansas, and Mississippi State had just enough flaws so the veteran Auburn team could ride Newton into glory.

Of course, that also means that God disapproves of the Oregon Ducks. Phil Knight, you want to create your false idols in Jordan, LeBron, and Tiger? Welcome to His vengeance embodied in the power running game of Michael Dyer – how else do you explain the wrist apparently not equaling a knee?

Of course, this also means that God wasn’t a part of the Auburn family under Pat Dye, Terry Bowden, Tommy Tuberville, “Shug” Jordan, or even John Heisman - yes, that Heisman – as He deemed Chizik the one worthy of leading the football program to the greatest season in school history.

Of course, this also means that God wasn’t with TCU, a school that has the word Christian in its name, when it came to getting a shot at the BCS Championship. A team name might be a problem, though, as the Wake Forest Demon Deacons and the Duke Blue Devils were awful.

God wasn’t with Notre Dame, especially not off the field, until the second half of the year. He certainly wasn’t with the Jesuits of Boston College in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl against Nevada, and He doesn't appear to be with the poor, starving people who forced the good people of Kraft to provide the bowl season its goofiest name.

It does a disservice to the hours and hours of long, hard work that each and every Auburn player and coach put in to get to this point to assume that God was why the Tigers had the season they did. To credit God puts down Oregon, Alabama, and 117 other college football programs, glosses over the all-timer of all-timer breaks from the NCAA, and worst of all, it insults God by assuming sides were taken.

If Auburn finishes fifth in the SEC West in 2011, does that mean God left the Auburn family? Yeah, and there’s a good chance he’ll be the first quarterback taken in April's NFL Draft.

“Uh, Gene, I-I'm wonderin' what the, what the Grumman guys think about this.” … And while we’re at it, Gene, Iowa State is allowed to file a grievance when it comes to your “Auburn fans are the best in the world” stuff. Apparently, Gene, you have no clue how well Cyclone fans travel, mainly because you did such a miserable job at ISU that you couldn’t get them to a bowl. It’s easy, Gene, for fans to want to storm the building for a BCS Championship, but Iowa State fans would rock the house of the BBVA Compass, the Little Caesars Pizza, or the Military Bowl Presented by Northrup Grumman.

You know who has the best fans in the world, Gene? Anyone who gets season tickets for Vanderbilt, Kent State, San Jose State, North Texas, or any number of other programs that stink every year, have no prayer of ever being in the national title hunt, and apparently, don't have God in the family photo album

“Ballpark nachos ... you don't buy 'em, you only rent 'em ... huh huh huh" … Auburn Official Countdown Clock To The * is now at two years, 38 days, 19 minutes and 14 seconds … two years, 38 days, 19 minutes and 13 seconds … two years, 38 days, 19 minutes and 12 seconds …

I am getting a little irritated now.

[AUTigerCourt 93]

Wow. Just wow.

[WarEagle'04 4]

I quit reading about 5 lines down. This one may top the list.

[AURaptor 1,137]

Auburn Official Countdown Clock To The * is now at two years, 38 days, 19 minutes and 14 seconds … two years, 38 days, 19 minutes and 13 seconds … two years, 38 days, 19 minutes and 12 seconds

Hate to ask, because making sense of what a crazy person says is futile, but why 2 years, 38 days.... ?

I mean, is late Feb in 2013 suppose to be of any special significance?

[aumorgan21 0]

That is seriously offensive on so many levels. Wow!

[HSVTIGER 5]

It's just petty and small. Would he take issue with every instance where an athelete or coach gives God credit for his success? What about where Babe Ruth said the "the good Lord was with me" when he called the shot in Wrigley Field.

[Duder 243]

That is absolutely absurd. This is perhaps the most offensive pieces I've ever read. It is pathetic that Fox is so adamantly against all things Auburn. Arguing the Dyer thing? Really? Several replays show it was the right call. Mocking Chizik for his faith? Unbelievable.

[WarTiger 4,014]

Where was this article 2 years ago when all we saw every time we turned on the tv was Tim Tebow "preaching" at people?? It's clear there are a large number of people that have a tremendous unfounded hate for anything Auburn. pretty sad if that's what you are going to go with. wow.

[BeasFan 3]

Not to be advocating violence toward FoxSports, nor to suggest Auburn fans might take this seriously enough to see more than the humor in it, but I couldn't help but think of something I just read not long ago.

I think we all know that Thayer Evans at FoxSports.com is obsessed with Auburn and Cam Newton. Everything he tries, every turn he takes to try to mess Auburn up fails. Each failure drives him further up the proverbial wall.

If you've got a copy of the BCS game, look at the on-field interview with Cam after the game. Evans is standing about three feet behind, over Cam's left shoulder and is clearly the most unhappy man on the face of the planet. I knew at that point that he'd be compelled to do something else.

He developed a similar hate obsession with Texas while he was employed at the New York Times, which eventually got him fired for writing lies as truth. Hopefully, FauxSports will fire his sorry azz before long.

My thing is never click on one of his links. The more hits on his site, the better he likes it. Calling him your favorite term for JERK makes him happy if you went to his site to do it.

[Mike4AU 1,755]

To be quite honest, I do not think that God cares who wins a football game, and I wish GC would stop saying that it's a God thing. You may recall when DuBose went off the deep end, he became an embarrassing coach. I am not saying that GC is of that ilk, but he does need to tone it down.

All of that said, this proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that folks need to stay away for FoxSports, Fox talking head shows, etc. Those guys are crazy and will say anything to get higher ratings. They are ratings' prostitutes. I am forever crossing that outfit off my list.

[AURaptor 1,137]

Enjoy this, be Auburn and ignore them. Only that will drive them crazy. Attention is all they want.

[MDM4AU 337]

OK, folks. Here is the thing...

FSN (and many others) has realized that they can boost traffic and "hate mail" (hate mail=readers) by slamming Auburn. Good articles get the traffic. Slanderous articles bring out all the crazies. Somewhere @ FSN, a group of people are howling at the responses they are getting. In the next room there are people counting the $$ they will get from all this attention/traffic from "those red-neck boobs down south."

Best thing to do is avoid FSN. Don't attempt to rebutt anything. It's like calling in to a radio show. You will never get the last word and you only help out the adversary.

Someone with greater computer skills than I should send this article to Fox's Glenn Beck.

Yes. And while they're at it, go ahead and include {{ CAUTION: Language }}

[AUTigerCourt 93]

Personally, when Chizik makes the statement "It's a God thing" I don't take it as him saying that God wanted this to happen. I think he's trying to make the players realize that they wouldn't be there without the talent/family/friends that God as put in their lives. He just wants them to remember that they wouldn't be there without God's guidance.

I really don't think God cares who wins the national championship.

I seriously doubt they want their sponsors to hear that someone finds the article concerning one's religious beliefs to be offensive.

I may be wrong, but the more e-mail traffic they get, the more they like it. I've nothing against you hitting up the sponsors, directly...I just don't know it'll do much good to tell FOX that you're angry at them.

While I'm like most and have grown tired of this attitude that Auburn fans simply have to sit and take it, I've come to the conclusion that if anything even attempts to take away my joy from this season, I'll just attribute it to jealousy. Best advice I can give is laugh at them, and point out how small and petty they are. Or simply to ignore them.

I've thought about this myself, how lucky Evans and FoxSports are they chose Auburn to slander and bash, instead of another university with less respectable and more violent fans and alumni.

I'm disgusted by the whole ordeal...

[aucanucktiger 1,874]

Wouldn't it be great (and more than a little ironic) if in a couple weeks ordained minister and 5 star prospect Ray Drew PICKS Auburn in large part b/c of the program's frequent acknowledgment that Somebody other than just Auburn deserves to be acknowledged for it's football success?

[33gles 506]

How is it that sites don't get called out on what is essentially. By definition. Trolling?

I wonder if there's any way to file complaints further up in the business model, since there's no actual way to contact anyone at Fox, other than the generic feedback form.

These jackasses would have been banned from any reasonable forum on the internet YEARS ago.

[2219 0]

You mean to tell me that not everything Fox says is true? I just can't believe that a corporation would twist the truth and ignore the facts just to further than own agenda to make more money. That's just absurd!
