Shockey's camp comments on the U scandal

Recommended Posts

I was at training camp today and Shockey made an off-the-cuff remark to a fan wearing Miami Hurricanes gear. It went a little something like this.

"Hey there's a Miami guy. Don't listen what that media is saying." With Cam in the forefront of the crowd, "Hey they did that sh*t in Auburn too". Cam bows his head and shakes back and forth.

It's pretty much impossible to have a competitive, clean D1 program. Too many people involved - coaches, players, boosters, agents, tutors and on and on. You can't monitor everyone 24/7. However, Miami looks like SMU all over again. They didn't even try to hide it. When it runs that deep, you have to wonder how serious the NCAA truly is on compliance. Seems like it's hush hush until it blows up, then the NCAA is forced to act.

NCAA amateurism is a sham.

He could have said Ohio or USC, but why Auburn?

Purely directed at Cam.

Positioning was ... the crowd at the end zone, Cam and QB's working in the end zone and the rest of the team behind them working. Shockey was turned around facing Cam and the crowd. Cam was in the direct line of fire.

    • So what about their sign is not compliant or causing the issue according to the rules? Them always having it, or the amount of time they have had it, or their loyalty to the team is not relevant to this situation. To be clear, I know next to nothing about this situation, just trying to clarify.  I have no dog in this fight and am emotionless on this topic. If you are breaking a rule, you do not get special treatment just because you have been here breaking it a long time.
    • The team fell for that late season averageness he displayed last year and got burned. You want to do that again? I don’t.  But I sort of do agree that we are stuck with him as the starter.  I can’t decide whether replacing him gets us into the playoffs so suffering through one last season is the price for freedom in 2026.  Three ways to be free in 2026: He actually plays like a real NFL QB,  The team sends him packing. Be completely out on tne Panthers until changes are made. 
    • Short version = these people have had those seats since the beginning and haven't missed a game. They have always had their sign. They had to change the sign - I think in 2015 when Cam ripped that Packers fan's banner down (love him for that, by the way) - to be compliant and haven't had any issues in the last 10 years. The Panthers even used a photo of them and their sign in their album from the Falcons game. In the 3rd quarter last weekend it was decided that the sign needed to come down. Seems weird and unnecessary, especially since it has been there for every game for a decade.   EDIT: they've had it since 2003. Still a long-ass time.... Also "cringe" is a funny word for someone over the age of 18 who lives and overshares on the Huddle. But, ok....
