Stealing signals isn't cheating, unless you do it like Billicheck did it with illegally taping opposition practices.  

You don't think Tennessee coaches try to steal our opponents signals watching tape and on game days?  I promise you we've got grad assistants who have "signal" duties on game day.  

It happens at every level of football.  If a team isn't smart enough to change and disguise signals then they deserve to have them stolen.

True, Herb.  But for me this tells me it wasn't Auburn's scheme or the fact they outplayed FSU.  They just knew what was coming.

I like to throw our sarcastic accusatory posts against Auburn, bama, and FL. Don't rain on my parade!!  :laugh:

Why we would be butt hurt?  Most of us like Auburn.  For myself, Auburn is about the only other SEC team I have a tolerance for.  Maybe Tamu and Mizzou just because they are new, or MSU because we play them so seldom, but that's about it.

And second...um, didn't you guys lose?  So why would we be butt hurt?   :naughty:

In fact, wouldn't Au fans be the ones butt hurt?   :naughty:

Understand, but you still have to make a defensive play.  The offense is still blocking and the ball carriers are trying to run over or around the defense. 

Just because a defense has a good idea what might be coming doesn't mean they can always stop it. 

My point is that it's not cheating to steal signals.  Every single team out there tries to do it.

We hired one of their coaches in the offseason, if they are too stupid to change the calls then they deserve it.  :-)

That's a good point.  And it's shocking that the FSU coaches didn't think of this.

Yep.  One of the reasons that teams have 3 guys giving signals with only one of them being live. 

Got to change signals up from series to series, and sometimes in the middle of a series.  With most teams going to hand signals now it's really not hard to figure them out, if you can figure out which signal giver is live.
