I can, however, verify that this isn't such a cozzy rivalry on the border.<br /><br />The way Fairely played in that game was wrong, point blank. They let him run wild all season, and when the game got emotional, he acted like an animal.<br /><br />I think he, Taylor, and Chizik had a come-to-Jesus session with the AD, considering that his behavior has much improved.<br /><br />But that doesn't take away from the wrong he did in the Georgia game. That ain't the way the game ought to be played.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247285936644048047.post-43736854846124442432010-11-24T10:24:39.334-05:002010-11-24T10:24:39.334-05:00Dawgfan17, you wish UGA had a beast like Fairley.Dawgfan17, you wish UGA had a beast like Fairley.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247285936644048047.post-49904926632551919512010-11-17T08:30:02.752-05:002010-11-17T08:30:02.752-05:00To the AU fan saying that the line should block be...To the AU fan saying that the line should block better if they don't want the QB to be hit, that is true but when a guy takes 3 steps AFTER the ball is released by the QB then there is not much any offensive line can do. If this was an isolated game for Fairly then I could buy he let his emotions get the best of him. However I saw the same thing in several other games this year. I have no love for Clemson at all but felt after that game he was a dirty player. He showed it again several other times and proved it once again this past weekend.Dawgfan17noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247285936644048047.post-3173045475457001462010-11-16T23:41:37.213-05:002010-11-16T23:41:37.213-05:00Auburn can defend Fairley all they want.

Until the hit that knocked Murray out of the game, this game would have been simply a hard-fought loss to a better opponent. That helmet to the knee, and the Fairley-and-Taylor strut that followed, changed the loss to a shot over the bow. <br /><br />I'm convinced that Grantham circled next year's Auburn game the minute this year's ended, and I think Auburn knows it. That would explain why Jacobs payed a personal visit to Richt in our locker room after the game. He doesn't want a war after Newton and Fairley have left for the NFL. <br /><br />Again, this series has a long future. Regardless of what Jacobs and Richt discussed, something tells me that neither our coaches nor players are going to forget Fairley and Taylor celebrating their intentional injury of our frosh QB.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247285936644048047.post-27128858593501319132010-11-16T15:40:31.393-05:002010-11-16T15:40:31.393-05:00Anon -

Don't get me wrong, Nick Fairley is an amazingly talented football player. He is going to get his fair share of hits on the quarterback, regardless of who is blocking him. But the real issue is how he makes tackles and seems set on trying to not only make a play but injure the quarterback. Auburn fans have taken this criticism of this as an attack on their team, but they shouldn't. Fairley's play did not lose this game for Georgia, the inability to stop Cam Newton did. We know that and that is not why we are mad.<br /><br />I am just suprised at the spiteful responses I have seen to people questioning Nick Fairley as well the Cam Newton situation. If there were more level headed people, like you, then maybe I wouldn't feel this way. But right now, you appear to be in the minority.Streithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12640363974028794007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247285936644048047.post-18383361308826127492010-11-16T14:37:46.160-05:002010-11-16T14:37:46.160-05:00I am an Auburn fan all the way. I can tell you tha...I am an Auburn fan all the way. I can tell you that I get angry at other fans who think it's great to see an opponent injured on the field. But how can you label all Auburn fans as an angry bunch? That's just wrong. EVERY team has it's share of angry, obnoxious, stupid and annoying fans, a few of you are showing examples of that. But you shouldn't generalize a large population of people just because of one game and how some people are acting about it.<br /><br />Faloughi...<br />At first, I thought Faloughi was faking an injury, but when I realized he wasn't, I felt bad for criticizing him. You can't take back your initial reaction, and the fans at the stadium don't get the close-up replays that we do on the TV to make a better judgement. There is no denying that players often fake an injury to slow down the opponent's momentum, and to criticize the entire AU program and fans for believing that was the case is ridiculous.<br /><br />Fairley...<br />He didn't play too fairly this past Saturday. I'll agree, he made a couple of bad decisions that hurt his reputation and that of our team, but he made a lot of great plays also. He's big, rough, and overall one of the best defensive players I've seen this year. But with all due respect, if the QB's don't want to get hit, they need to get the O line to block. I'm just sayin'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247285936644048047.post-59134418243920220272010-11-16T10:22:44.495-05:002010-11-16T10:22:44.495-05:00Have to agree with Anon, everyone who has respect ...Have to agree with Anon, everyone who has respect for AU and their fans must not have been around enough of their fans. Living in Columbus is awful. One of the women I work said after the game "Well it sucks that it had to be that way but I did say before the game that we had to do whatever it takes to win, it got us the win so I'm happy." Now I disagree that the dirty play is what got them the win. Cam Newton got them the win, the kid forces the other team to do things differently and can carry his team on his back. However I have never, and will never have any respect for anything to do with AU.Dawgfan17noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247285936644048047.post-34551443864114608842010-11-16T09:40:12.360-05:002010-11-16T09:40:12.360-05:00Auburn beat a 5-6 team for the first time in 5 yea...Auburn beat a 5-6 team for the first time in 5 years and had come back from being 14 points down.

I know many UGA preppy alum, but the AU grads around here think they're God's gift to Georgia. And to live here seems a thousand miles from Athens, with all the local media and stores catering to that sorry state where each car has a set of flags from each team, depending on who's winning (AU or UA).
