GLENDALE, Ariz. -- A picture popped up on an Internet site late Monday afternoon. It purported to show the man many have been looking for standing in a queue outside the stadium where college football's national championship was scheduled to kick off a few hours later. By game time, it was rumored that the man was seen sitting in the University of Phoenix Stadium stands.
And when the game Auburn won over challenger Oregon ended, another photograph taken by Vasha Hunt of the Opelika-Auburn (Ala.) News was snapped showing Heisman trophy-winning Auburn quarterback Cam Newton embracing the same man in a throng of Auburn celebrants.
The man in those frames was said to be Cam Newton's father, Cecil, who sadly over the past few months has allowed himself to be reduced into a surreptitious figure shrouded in shame. He didn't even turn up at his son's first grand achievement this football season when Cam was honored in New York last month as the best football player in the country.
Cecil Newton Sr. should have showed his face Monday night, which must have been gleaming with pride for what his son had just accomplished. Cam accounted for over 300 yards offense and two touchdowns in helping lead Auburn to its first national football title in over half a century.
