Title: Alabama-Auburn rivalry spills into NFL draft
Post by: Terrie1959 on April 27, 2011, 07:01:03 AM
That nasty Alabama-Auburn rivalry is spilling over into the NFL draft.

The in-state rivals, who have divvied up the last two national titles and Heisman Trophies, figure to have a heavy presence in the top 10 Thursday night - and, possibly, in the top 2.

Who will win the Carolina Panthers' No. 1 pick derby: Auburn quarterback Cam Newton or Alabama defensive lineman Marcell Dareus, the Crimson Tide or Tigers? Maybe none of the above, but those two are the names most often mentioned in that conversation.

Tide receiver Julio Jones and Tigers defensive lineman Nick Fairley also are expected to go in the top 10, probably followed later in the round by Alabama's Heisman-winning running back Mark Ingram.

If that top 10 foursome happens, it will be only the fifth time since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970 that schools from the same state have delivered four of the first 10 players chosen in the draft - and the second straight.

Ricky - there is no doubt that some people DO carry things way too far.  I'm just hoping that the stupidity from last fall (Harvey) will open people's eyes and make them see that those behaviors are not acceptable.  RTR
