The Big Upset

"You just don't really want to get me upset. When I'm upset, I'm known to do certain things -- like win championships."
-Shaquille O’Neal

Auburn University’s 2008 football team should read that quote, let it sink in and ask themselves do they have the drive and perserverance to do what great athletes like Shaq, Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan do when they feel slighted or disrespected, whether it is perceived or real, do everything necessary to prove the doubters wrong. The great ones can channel this and elevate themselves to new heights, their will to win legendary. No longer an athlete but someone who has done exactly this is right in their locker room and with them every day on the football field, Coach Tommy Tuberville. In our opinion, Coach Tuberville is one of the best motivators when his team’s back is against the wall as there is in the country, his record versus top 10 opponents (9-2 since 2004) and the 2004 season are proof of that. WRAS' hope is that this team gets upset during the offseason and show that college football legends are remembered for what they do in December and January, not for what they do between February and August.
