Gene Chizik has said that HBO’s “Real Sports” investigation — that aired last night and included four ex-Tigers making allegations against Auburn — was “pure garbage.” He has said that HBO didn’t run comments from numerous people who denied the former players’ charges.

Ah, but HBO says it did give Auburn officials a chance to talk. A spokesperson for the network says producers called the sports information department at AU and “read to them in detail” the allegations of a pay-for-play set-up on The Plains. The school, however, chose not to comment.

Chizik said “absolutely not” when asked if HBO had contacted him for a comment.

Obviously there was a disconnect between the HBO, AU’s sports information department, and Auburn’s top brass.
