Star Alabama player arrested

Star Alabama linebacker Tim Williams was arrested in the early hours of Thursday morning for the possession of carrying a pistol without a permit. The charge is only a misdemeanour, so if he is suspended, it’s likely that Saban will suspend him for the clash against Kentucky on Saturday. What might get Williams in more trouble was what attracted police to the car in the first place: The smell of marijuana. Although Williams explained that the marjuana was his own, it will be interesting to see if Saban’s line when he talks to the media will pro-pot legalization, or against it. It’s not terrible news for the program, but it’s may well be an expensive one for Williams, who will

After Les Miles: Week 4 SEC Rankings

So, Les Miles is gone after one of the worst games on earth, Tennessee’s final over its Florida hoodoo, and Ole Miss beat the living crap out of Georgia. So here’s our rankings from 1-14 of your SEC teams. If you don’t like it, let us know at @SECblog. Alabama (4-0): The SEC thanks God for Alabama, because otherwise the conference probably wouldn’t have a team in the play-off. The Crimson Tide is the most complete team in the conference, and maybe the country. Texas A&M (4-0): A win over Arkansas in JerryWorld wasn’t so much as impressive as the huge goal-line stands. This defense is for real, folks. They could be the SEC’s surprise package this year. Tennessee (4-0):

Top 10 unforgettable Les Miles moments

The most unforgettable moments of Les Miles’ tenure as head coach of LSU: The crazy win over Auburn in 2007 . One of the finest endings to a football game you’ll ever see. Mike Patrick’s commentary adds to the lunacy, too. The National Championship Victory in 2007. They beat the snot out of Ohio State that day. A lot of NCAA coaches haven’t won titles, but college football  – especially in Baton Rouge – would like to know what you’ve done for them lately. The ‘I’m not going to Michigan’ speech. He didn’t seem to want to go to Michigan. Especially before the SEC Championship Game in 2007. And we mean RIGHT BEFORE. LSU went onto win the game, but on

Three stats why LSU fired Les Miles

After LSU’s loss to Auburn in one of the most awful offensive games anyone will ever see,  I came away from the game thinking: “Les Miles will either go during this season, or at the end of it.” Why? He simply had to. He had to because the team wasn’t pulling its weight on the offensive side of the ball, neither he nor offensive co-ordinator seemed to be able to coach a quarterback, and the team was playing like a team that could fall apart at any second. The more and more LSU failed to score a touchdown and the camera panned onto him, the more and more he looked like a forlorn figure. You almost knew that if LSU didn’t

Who’ll win Florida vs Tennessee? SEC Week 4 Preview

Right, College Gameday’s going to Tennessee (again) to show ‘dem Volunteers (again) play the University of Florida (for the first time) at Neyland Stadium (for the first time this year). Everyone’s going to be amped….apart from those who have to watch it on TV, who are going to have to watch an ad break masking as a SEC 3.30pm College Football Game. Seriously though, here are your biggest games of the Week in order of appeal/importance. And yes, we know that Alabama fans are going to care more about eating Kent State alive than they are about Florida vs Tennessee, but it’s interesting for the rest of us. So there you go…. Florida at Tennessee (3.30pm) Florida’s got enough defensive

Ole Miss, Oh Damn…..Week 3 ratings

Did Hugh Freeze’s prayers to The Man Upstairs make any difference against Alabama? Well, at the start he must have thought that the Big H was going to deliver him and the Ole Miss faithful their third straight victory against Satan’s Tide when the Rebs took a 24-3 lead…..and then they choked. Choked. Choked all the way to a 48-43 lead. Elsewhere, Leonard Fournette didn’t look like a Heisman contender, Missouri broke its fans’ hearts by losing 28-27 at home to Georgia, the knives are coming out for Gus Malzahn, and Kentucky were taken to task by New Mexico State until the end. Oh, and Florida, Tennessee and Arkansas did what they had to do against poor opposition, although Tennessee’s

Week 3 SEC Predictions

cIt’s Week 3, which means we’ve got a beautiful mix of in-conference SEC match-ups and non-conference ones. In-conference, we’ve got some games. Alabama is rolling into Ole Miss, thirsting for revenge after the last two losses to the Rebels, No.17 Texas A&M’s trip to Auburn could be a war, and Georgia’s trip to Missouri has upset written all over it. Oh, and then there’s always LSHambles playing Mississippi State. What could possibly go wrong for Les Miles? The biggest non-conference battle a SEC team is involved in in Week 3 is Vanderbilt’s trip to Georgia Tech, while East Carolina’s trip to South Carolina could be interesting. Otherwise, expect SEC teams to roll. Anyway, without further ado, here are your previews,

Undeniable SEC statements from Week 2

Here’s a statement about each SEC team after their Week 2 performances, and we think you’ll find it undeniable. If you think we’re talking B.S., tweet us on @SECblog. Alabama: It wasn’t exactly a surprise that Nick Saban lit Lane Kiffin’s ass on fire at the end of the Western Kentucky game. The team looked sleepy. They beat the spread, but only just! Also, Nick Saban’s strategy of saying unkind things about the team to fire them up for big games wasn’t lost on the Alabama media. It becomes a bit of a charade. Especially when the guy doing it could star in ‘Willow’. Tennessee: Caused five fumbles, and recovered them. And took advantage of Virginia Tech’s fumblefingers. This team may not

‘The Battle At Bristol’ leads SEC Week 2 preview

Right, there isn’t a lot in Week 2 for SEC team, unless you’re a rabid fan and you get overly-excited about Georgia dropping a ton on Nicholls State or Myles Garrett eating Prairie View A&M’s offensive line alive in College Station. We will see SEC schools run up the scores on their diminutive opponents. Sorry for not writing up a bigger preview of Alabama vs Western Kentucky, but Alabama should win by 40. It’s not going to be pretty for a lot of visiting schools. But there are a few games that might be interesting…. Arkansas vs No. 15 TCU Arkansas survived Louisiana Tech by a single point and TCU survived South Dakota State in 59-41 shoot-out. This game could

The SEC would love to have Week 1 back

Right, we here at the SEC would like to have Week 1 back. Sure, some of the schools are 1-0 and some are not, but none of our teams were particularly great, and some of them – even in victory – couldn’t seem to get their collective asses off the ground. Anyway, here’s ranking how every team in the conference did this week, in order of performance: Alabama (win vs USC)- The Alabama fans were ready to lynch Lane Kiffin, right until the USC QB threw a pick-6 and the Crimson Tide to shreds. It wasn’t a complete performance, but if this was considered as a bad performance after Week One, then the rest of college football is in trouble.
