2012's First Oversigning Controversy Comes At Alabama, But It Won't Be Last
In 2011, the topic of oversigning and roster management in college football hit a critical mass. The presidents of Florida and Georgia wrote op-eds condemning schools for aspects of it, and the SEC adopted new rules regarding graduate transfers, medical exemption scholarships, and the number of...
Demaryius Thomas and Calvin Johnson leading ACC Alum in NFL Playoffs
In the 2011 NFL playoffs, 5,524 yards of total offense were accumulated in 4 wild card games. Over 72% of that yardage came from BCS conference alums. The SEC alums led all conferences with 1,561 yards of offense in the NFL wild card round. The ACC was second with 1,278. The B1G, Big 12, Pac 10,...
UAB Hired Arkansas OC Garrick McGee as Head Coach
Arkansas is losing its offensive coordinator as UAB has hired Garrick McGee as its new head coach. He replaces Neil Callaway, who never won more than five games in a season in his five years with the Blazers. Bobby Petrino released this statement: I want to congratulate Garrick McGee on becoming...
LSU-Arkansas Post Game Video Collection
I'm pretty wiped out, so more detailed reaction from me will come later, but there is just a ton of video that I need to share with yall. Post-Game Alma Mater and Les Miles Addresses the Tiger Stadium crowd (filmed by yours truly) Arkansas coach Petrino angry on sideline Les Miles/Bobby...
Week 12 SEC Power Poll Ballot: Raise Your Hand If You've Won Your Division
It was, to put it mildly, an interesting weekend of SEC football, which clarified the picture only slightly. The Eastern Division crowned a champion, but we are still waiting for one of those Western Division weaklings to show enough gumption to step up to the plate and win the darned thing...
Who Should Ole Miss Prioritize: RichRod or Mike Leach?
I honestly don't have any good idea what direction the Ole Miss coaching search will go in. In 1998, the school hired the offensive coordinator from the soon-to-be national champions in David Cutcliffe. He helped get them Eli Manning and had a 10-win season, but he was fired after seven years....
Don't Bet On It!: College Football Predictions Around the SEC
Although I went 5-0 in last week’s SEC predictions to improve to 40-10 for the season, it’s pretty clear that last Saturday’s Southeastern Conference slate was fairly weak, so you should resist the temptation to place any faith whatsoever in my skills as a prognosticator. Let me spell it out for...
Week Six SEC Power Poll Ballot: Do You Realize Four Teams Are Still Winless in Conference Play?
At this point, it’s not entirely clear who’s in the SEC, so how am I supposed to rank the teams in order? Actually, differentiating between Nos. 1 and 2 proved much more challenging than arranging Nos. 3 through 12 in the proper sequence, so I’m feeling pretty good about this week’s SEC Power Poll...
Week Four SEC Power Poll Ballot: Logjam at Top Followed by Steep Drop After First Four
The division races have taken shape, and it’s pretty clear at this point that Louisiana State’s visit to Tuscaloosa on November 5 and Florida’s visit to Columbia on November 12 will decide which teams are in Atlanta on December 3. This week’s SEC Power Poll ballot features a tiny gap between Nos. 1...
Don't Bet On It!: Week Three College Football Predictions Around the SEC
Thanks to a 7-2 record in last week’s SEC picks, my ledger for the season in league play is 17-3, which might make you think I know what I’m doing, but I don’t. Truly, I don’t, which is why I preface each set of prognostications with a warning: Don’t Bet On It! Each of this week’s SEC showdowns...
