Auburn Claiming To Be 1983 National Champions

[CANE1775]

I think it's bs that they are trying to claim it 30 plus years later. With that said, as I have argued in the past, they were screwed in 83. Oh well, we were screwed in 2000 and in 02.

Hold on.... let me do this one more time after reading that article

Auburn has now reversed course and is still only claiming 2 national championships.

Auburn updated page on 5 national titles w/ clear NCAA record book citation. School still only claims 2 titles. No change.

Miami is the 2000 champion then. They would of smashed Oklahoma.


Raise the banners and hand out the rings.

They weren't even ranked 2nd that year. THE U beat the number one undefeated maybe best offense ever in one of the greatest games ever played. Game was a classic, with both teams playing great and classy. No chump plays which changed winner. It was a heavyweight champ fight. Underdog surges to lead. Massive favorite comes back, but underdog does not fold. Canes regained lead only to have Huskers come back again. Battle to the end with no flute field return deciding the game. No bad call making the difference. A true great game between the old guard and the new wave. Compared to Auburn's sad little 9 -7 win over Michigan just does not compare. Pat Dye said it all the first game on the next year after the Canes beat his Tigers. "They brought menfolk with them." Dye and Osborne had class that no longer exist -- even Tom fell some by denying us THE SMOKE that year. Cornhuskers would have hung at least 35 on Auburn that year. Tigers scored a big 9, nine points. They would have been crushed by either Miami or Nebraska that year. That is why they were 3rd in the final polls.

Auburn Claiming To Be 1983 National Champions?

That's nothing. I passed a guy who was sitting on a park bench claiming to be God.

How does Bama get away with 15?

How does Bama get away with 15?

Because they are awful

"It's right there, nothing but facts," athletic director Jay Jacobs tells Auburn Undercover. "It's awful hard to argue against facts."

This **** is so dumb it merits an official response.

We settled that on the field with them first game on the next season in the first Kickoff Classic. Wupped them and the gator (our only loss) in Tampa. They should remove the one they won with an ineligible QB in 2010.

I was just about to post this! We gave them an *** whuppin' in KO Classic 1984! Sounds like it was settled to me - ON THE FIELD!!!
