It really is as plain as the nose on your face...

Did you, along with the rest of the world, see that Auburn University's 2004 football Tigers had...

not one...

not two...

not three...

BUT FOUR

of their players taken in the FIRST ROUND of the N.F.L. Draft yesterday?

And, they were undefeated champions in the conference that had 10 players taken in the first round (and, oh, by the way, the "Big" 12 had 4, and the Pac 10 had 3--two from USC, so the rest of the conference only had 1, and he was the 24th pick)...

Somebody tell me again how Auburn wasn't good enough to play for the national championship.

This isn't a fan talking. I'd say the same thing, even if it was the hated University of Alabama that had the same resume:

Auburn got screwed. No one will ever convince me otherwise.
