from Marcello's blog, quote from long ago from Cecil:
I always wondered where the "rented mule" came from, now I know.
I do think Newton is a great player, very fun to watch, & honestly, a part of me feels bad for him.......but hey, you cheated & are in the process of getting caught
I guess I fell bad for him b/c I would like to think that he really wanted to play @ MSU, money or no money, but daddy had bigger plans
I know this is obvious to everyone, but w/o Newton & his efforts, Auburn is not where they are today. irony“He was leaning toward Starkville,” Cecil Newton told The Montgomery Advertiser in January.
“He had that relationship with Dan Mullen and there was a comfort
level there. I didn’t think that was the right place for Cam. They just
don’t have all the moving parts. <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Cam was going to have to be the star.
He’d have to do everything himself.</span> I didn’t want him to be a rented
mule.”
