Auburn Legend Cam Newton Claims Tigers Are “Little Brother” to Alabama Football…
Newton hopped on the Pardon My Take podcast to discuss aspects of both his college and NFL careers, and at one point when discussing Auburn made the claim that the Tigers are the “little brother” to Alabama football.
“Yeah, we won, but everybody knows Auburn is like the little brother to Alabama,” Newton said.
Newton continued talking about his time at Auburn, almost complaining about the mindset of Tiger fans when he arrived on campus.
“Since day one, being on campus it was like ‘but we almost beat Alabama!'” Newton said. “I’m like, man, (expletive), this (expletive) is always to beat the (expletive), it ain’t to compete, its to beat.”
And beat, Auburn did. The Tigers went on to finish the season undefeated, an unblemished 14-0, winning the national championship against Oregon.
