Watch though, the dumb a$$ tide fans will try and twist this thing around to say that all of Auburn's team was getting help to stay in school....

Shocking... Or Not....

My dad used to enjoy telling us how, when he played football for San Francisco State back in the '50s, one of the approved-for-athletes courses he took was — I kid you not — Square Dance Calling. So, I just don't see how this story could ...
