The bulldog brain trust at that Starkville coffeehouse is at it again, this time offering Auburn advertising space on their legendary marquee for… you’ll never guess how much… $180,000.
It’s an odd choice as far as smack talk goes, because the only reason the figure “$180,000″ has become shorthand for recruiting violations is because that (allegedly) was Cecil Newton’s asking price when he was shopping his son to parties with ties to… what school was it… ah, yes: Mississippi State. Thanks for reminding us.
Of course, it might actually be fun to rent it… maybe put up a photo of Cam wearing an Under Armour version of that “You Couldn’t Pay Me 2 Go To Starkville, Either” shirt and drinking a mocha-chino from a crystal football. But then they might just take the money and try to buy another player (emphasis on try)… and Auburn fans want no part in something like that.
However, as you may recall, we have no problem with writing comical coffeehouse reviews on Urban Spoon.

You know what’s interesting to me? The fact that their sign before last year’s game said something about paying tithes to the Newtons. And this was in September, long before any of the allegations came out. Kinda makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Were more people involved at MSU in trying to get Cam? Or was it just already known and talked about there? I’m still amazed they’ve come out of the whole deal with no real bad press being thrown their way.

Why do you say “Cecil’s asking price”? Wasn’t he approached by Kenny Rogers?
I think this is a media myth we, as Auburn people, don’t need to continue to let grow. Thanks.
If another SEC school did this, ok. But MSU was where it all happened!! Stupid.
They are on Twitter, also:

The sign last year said “Cam’s on the way, hide ya kids, hide ya wife” in reference to him stealing the laptop.
@wareaglereader @SBCoffeehouse See if Kenny Rogers will rent your sign #stupiddawg
