Summary

Let's go back to a simpler time when Auburn was on top of the college football world and the SEC was in the midst of an unprecedented run of dominance. In the 2010 season, Auburn's emergence with Cam Newton became the stuff of legend. The guys look back on the buildup and wild sequence of events that played out in the BCS National Championship, most notably a certain Michael Dyer run. Connor and Will dive into all of their usual IJMM categories and get into a fascinating sliding door to close.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

production. I am kind of O'Gara. Will, it just meant more time. We have a national championship.

I'm excited because it's taken us too long to do a cam game, and I'm glad that we're finally doing one now. Yeah, I mean, this is one of the teams that really made me fall in love with college football. To me, I never, you know, paying players never really bothered me, especially I was young at the time. We're going there from the jump. I love it. From the jump, Right. Well, I just want to say I've a Cam Newton fan, even as an LSU fan. So therefore, like, Cam, I just read it for him as a kid. And I think this is like one of those kind of moments in college football history for me where I went, wow, this guy was like Super Cam. He was. And you can pick and choose a variety of games from this season. Of course, we thought about doing the camback. I'm not going to never say never for that one, but we also just did the 2009 SEC Championship. So we talked a lot of the same storylines with Bama and that bled into 2010 Bama talk. So go back and listen to that, but I didn't want to kind of repeat and double up on that.

1:28.2

Maybe we'll still do that. Thought about doing the LSU game when, of course, Cam ran away from Pat Pee. Just saying, just saying. This is unnecessary. Why would you do this? I just said I had a fun time. I was at that game, by the way. You were? We'd never talked about that. Oh, I didn't know that.

1:53.0

story involved him at florida and not at auburn because well here's the question did cam bring

1:58.8

his scooter from Florida? Absolutely.

2:05.1

Oh my gosh. That might have been one of those Gainesville scooters that he just, let's say was given.

2:11.7

Let's say he paid for it legally. Sure. Let's, I like to picture Cam during all of his college travels.

2:20.7

Everywhere he goes, he was going somewhere on a Gainesville scooter. Even when he was at Blinn College in Texas, everywhere Cam went, he went on that scooter.
