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...
Crxxm interviews for the UNC job
/Crxxm enters by smashing in the athletic directors door via his golf cart (Croom speaks, in a James Earl Jones but not as cool voice): Hello friend, sorry about that door and that secretary I ran over, I'm sure she was a nice girl Dick Baddour, UNC Athletic Director: Yes, yes she was Coach....
How Mississippi State's Big Step Forward Happened
After five years of mediocrity (and worse) under Sylvester Croom, Mississippi State welcomed Dan Mullen to Starkville with open arms in 2009. He managed just one more win in '09 than Croom did in '08, but it was easy to see that the arrow for the program was pointed up. The team surged in his...
What I'm Thankful For in the SEC
I have a lot of things to be thankful for today. I have a beautiful wife who loves me. I have great family on both sides. I live in the greatest country on earth. I have a job. I have no complaints whatsoever today. Beyond that, I just want to go over one thing I'm thankful for in relation to each...

Georgia Fires Three Defensive Coaches
ESPN's Joe Schad and Mark Schlabach are reporting that three Georgia assistants from UGA's underwhelming defense will not be back next year: defensive coordinator Willie Martinez, linebackers coach and co-defensive coordinator John Janacek, and defensive ends coach Jon Fabris. Fabris also worked on...
Don't Bet On It!: Around the SEC
I started with the national games of interest this week, so now I need to circle back around to look at the Southeastern Conference slate. My 6-1 ledger in last week’s league picks left me at 57-10 for the fall, but, honestly, I should’ve gone 7-0 against last Saturday’s sorry...
Kentucky vs. Mississippi State: Breaking Down the Bulldogs
With Kentucky sitting at 4-3 (1-3 in the SEC) and dates with Eastern Kentucky and Vanderbilt to follow, tonight's 7:00 p.m. EST game at Commonwealth Stadium versus the Mississippi State Bulldogs (3-5, 1-3) carries with it tremendous ramifications. A UK win will put the 'Cats clearly in the drivers...
The Question No Georgia Bulldogs Fan Wants to Have to Face
Later today, I will be bringing you a special World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party Law School Graduation Fete Paid for by the University Foundation (I'm sure that's what Michael Adams would prefer to call it) edition of Too Much Information, in which I will be positive (or, at least, as positive...
Too Much Information: Georgia Bulldogs at Vanderbilt Commodores
Yesterday, MaconDawg did his part by restoring Cocktail Thursday to its proper place on the calendar. Today, I’m doing my part. "Too Little Information"? What was up with that? Yeah, that was totally weak. If I don’t do better this week, SB Nation should fire me and replace me with Sylvester...
