Remember Cam Newton's epic 2010 season which culminated in the third Heisman Trophy win in Auburn Tigers program history? If so, you're having a better day than ESPN.
The Worldwide Leader In Sports (or something) posted this ill-advised photo of Cam and Peyton Manning during their college days as part of their hype for Super Bowl 50 on Thursday:

To be fair, Newton did spend two seasons (2007-08) suited up for the Florida Gators. However, his time as Tim Tebow's backup at UF isn't exactly the first, second, or even hundredth image in our head when we picture Newton's collegiate career.

So, as you might expect, Auburn fans (and Panthers fans too) took to Twitter to remind ESPN where Newton actually built his legacy:
