"Damn. It seems like as the older I get, all those things my mother told me when I was young to keep me honest are getting bludgeoned to death and left in the ditch as I travel further down the road of life.
The War Eagle whoopin' bunch from Auburn wins the SEC's fifth straight championship as they hit a last second field goal at point-blank range to give them a 22-19 advantage over the Oregon Ducks. The game was exciting up until the moment that Auburn's Michael Dyer ripped off a 16-yard run to the one-yard line with 10 seconds left, and then it was like waiting for death. Cam Newton came out for one more play, not to try for a game-winning touchdown, but to down the ball in the victory formation and then came the field goal. Ho hum."
That play did sort of seem like an "F-U", didn't it?

Re that last Newton half-hearted qb dive, it was done solely to run the clock down so the fg was either game over or OT - GC didn't want to take any chances on having to kick off the ball to us with :02 on the clock

Ya, wasn't an F-U, just smart coaching. I would've done the same thing. Scoring a TD would've been an FU

Ya that was well played, I wanted that 10 seconds for us to try something, anything...so that was smart FB!
BTW I don't think they went for the TD because of the condition of Cam, he was in obvious pain.
