DJ Khaled may or may not know Cam Newton, but Cam Newton sure does know DJ’s Khaled’s hit song, “All I Do is Win.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWCXzyLp0Ds&feature=fvw

With phrases like, “can’t never count me out, so y’all better count me in” and “All I do is win, no matter what”, you can see why Cam, despite a dark cloud looming over his head right now, sings along the loudest. And why the Auburn family is still counting Cam “in”.

But Cam is not the only one singing along (try telling Nick Fairley that Cam Newton is the only one that “wins”). The anthem has been adopted by every player, coach and fan. Simply put, all Auburn has done this year is, well, win.

But what about this verse?

All I do is win, win, win no matter what

Got money on my mind, I can never get enough

Shhhhh, we won’t focus on this money verse. Most of us can’t understand the rappers delivery of each word anyway.

Surely, the entire stadium has no idea what is really being sung. Such is part of the entertainment of being in Jordan Hare Stadium while the Caucasian majority crowd is attempting to keep their shakers on beat with DJ Khaled and the talented players on the field. Comical, really. In a very motivating way.

The Auburn family shows unwavering support for Cam. “I Heart #2” pins, “Stand by your Cam” shirts and “War Cam Eagle” chants, Auburn is standing behind Cam Newton.

Two of my favorite quotes from the weekend:

“ Look, if we got him (Cam) for under 200k, we got the deal of the century.”- Diehard fan realizing that every SEC team has suspect recruiting methods, period.

“I’d spoon with Cam Newton. I’d even let him be the big spoon. And I would tell him how small I felt in his arms. Yea… I’d spoon with Cam.”- Heterosexual Auburn Alumni.

Many fans held their breath before the game waiting to see if Cam was going to start. That same breath was stored and used for 15 minutes of straight post-game adulation for the Tiger  49-31win over the Bulldogs. For Cam and every Tiger that went out on Saturday and played their hearts out despite the world outside of Jordan Hare Stadium.

I’m with Coach Chizik on this one… “Cam Newton is eligible to play football at Auburn University and that’s what he’s going to do.”

And this season at Auburn university, all they do is win.
