A lot to unpack in these fifty or more words. Pardon my meandering through your comments.
Two more wins and what wouldn't have happened? The relationship between Mason and Harsin breakdown? His clashes with the very people who continue to disparage him publicly? A locker room that's split; some in revolt? This is the same locker room that's been in turmoil for going on three years nowāI know I've pointed to their problems on several occasions.
You're so right on pathetic. You can also drop the word "seems."
We've seen that group after Harsin dating back to the summer (and ironically here's where political analogies come into play.) No. Let me change that. It pre-dates this past off-season.
The first ad hominem attack? It's the deep south and it came as no shock when we began to see Scientology thrown around. Manufactured you suggest? They're Mormon.
This summer what was the news from Auburn? Has Harsin been vaccinated and how that'll effect the season. Where did we see the Montgomery paper, so say Josh Moon go? They followed the same paths we've seen a lot of journalist: attack the person because they weren't "towing their line."
Access to Harsin and his staff on football was likely at the root of a lot of the angst but as a whole we moved on to the fall season.
Affair.
Now, racism.
You suggest manufactured?
Have you ever used the term "High Machs" when referring to people you've dealt with, or say worked alongside? It most cases it's a compliment: they're people with high energy and a lot of charisma. What we're seeing at Auburn is led by that group, a anomaly of a clique of "High Machs."
Irony raises its head again ...
The crazy thing is that term comes from the word Machiavellian. And what they're doing done there? I don't think there's a better descriptor.
You and I have talked a lot and I'd say you know me fairly well. I'm certainly no ideologist and most of the time I'm in the corner of "that's your shit to fix." But damn, even without much sympathy or empathy that's some bullshit they're tossing around haphazardly. Racism charges in today's climate can easily lead to a person being unemployable in their industry.
This is Moriarty level evil.
