Alabama scored the biggest win of the opening weekend, and jumped 11 spots in the AP poll to #13. Other than that, what did they get for having the stones to schedule a prime-time early season matchup? Not a damn thing. Bama's no closer to a BCS bowl this week than they were last week. They're no closer to a BCS bowl than Auburn or Georgia after scheduling cupcakes. If one of the Mississippi schools catches Bama on the wrong weekend, the Clemson win will be easily forgotten. At the same... Read Full Story
Georgia lost its #1 ranking after easily beating Georgia Southern, and lost some ground to now #3 Ohio State. Who gives a sh..., um, cares? Being ranked #1 is fun and all, but it doesn't matter until the end of the season. Further, #2 at the end is just as good as #1. As long as a team is in the top five to start the year, a strong year will take care of itself. I bet Ohio State fans wish Beanie Wells only had 8 carries like Knowshon did this past weekend.Congratulations to Vanderbilt... Read Full Story
Dear Mississippi State, Didn't watch the game and don't know what happened. Noticed that Wesley Carrol threw a pick every other time he dropped back, but that's neither here nor there. The most upsetting thing about the La Tech win is that the game was played in Ruston, Louisiana. Not StarkVegas. Ruston, Louisiana. You need to remember who you are and where you came from. You're in the SEC. We don't play in places like Ruston, because we don't have to. We sign billion-dollar television... Read Full Story
It could be much worse. As a matter of fact, I'm not convinced the best team won in Fayetteville the other night. Razorback fans everywhere started the complaining in the first quarter of the Western Illinois game and haven't stopped since. Instead of complaining, however, we should be thankful. Just as the Hogs are due for a solid run at the SEC Championship every few years, they are due for a year like this one every few years as well. And the important thing to remember is that Arkansas... Read Full Story
Everybody has a buddy from college like this. You know, that guy that took home a different slut every night he went out to the bar. That was just his thing. He liked to bang sluts. He didn't so much go for the hot girls, or the smart ones, or the cute ones. He just stuck to the sluts. When you were freshmen, he was one of the seven guys still dancing at four in the morning when there were only two chicks – fat chicks – left left at the fraternity house looking for a place to shack up. He... Read Full Story
The league office did something right. It may never admit when officials screw up. It may not fine teams for losing their bowl games and embarassing the rest of the conference. But it can apparently strike gold with a TV deal. Here are the details from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The executive summary is that there won't be a TV network devoted solely to the SEC because there won't need to be. ESPN will damn near do that on its own. Every conference football game will be televised... Read Full Story
Each team has now been published. Here's a summary list.

2005 vs Middle Tennessee State The poor guys just can't get right. Of all the losing seasons, and of all the lost games, the one game that ended up keeping the Commodores out of a coveted bowl game was against Middle Tennessee State in 2005. Sure, they had their chances in close losses to South Carolina, Florida, and Kentucky later that same year. They only lost by seven, seven, and five points, respectively. However, it is just so disheartening to think about MTSU being the one hurdle... Read Full Story
2001 SEC Championship Game For a few SEC teams, its tough to just single out one game over the last ten years that all the fans would love to have back. For Tennessee, however, its a no-brainer. Or at least it should be. The Vols need back the 2001 SEC Championship Game, when they lost to underdog LSU. The Vols had a strong season through early December, as they went to Atlanta in with a 10-1 record. More importantly, they were on pace for a date with Miami in the Rose Bowl for the BCS...
