Week 2 Ratings: Texas A&M leads the headlines (and not in a good way)

Although everyone was focussed about a little game in Austin pitching two of the most hated superpowers in College Football against each other, the biggest result against happened in (relative) far away College Station, when Texas A&M was defeated 17-14 by Appalachian State, capping off a wonderful weekend for the Sun Belt. Elsewhere, Kentucky surprised Florida and made AR looking ordinary, KJ Jefferson led Arkansas to a convincing win over South Carolina and Missouri was kerb-stomped by Kansas State. Most of the other games went to form. Personally speaking, our big whiff was predicting a Vanderbilt win over Wake Forest. We didn’t think Sam Hartman would be back for the Demon Deacons. And boy, were we wrong. WHO WERE WE

The biggest enemy of the SEC season? Gary Danielson

If there’s anything that unites SEC fans beyond a huge dislike of Yankees and a passion for bourbon, it’s Gary Danielson. Almost everybody despise his take on games. He’s the uncle that will give you a five minute weather report instead of simply answering your question as to whether it’s hot outside, or the one who sits next to the granny in ‘Airplane’.   There’s a Facebook group that has 1,200 members that says: “We hate Gary Danielson”, as well as ones that say: “Remove Gary Danielson from SEC Football Broadcasts“. The vitriol is borderline hilarious. The weird thing about Danielson is that on the field, he’s had a better career than Kirk Herbstreit who is the ‘Golden Boy’ of

USC and UCLA make a B1G move: What does it mean for the SEC?

USC and UCLA managed to usurp the SEC on ‘crap we never saw coming’, when the Trojans and Bruins leaked the news – and then confirmed it – that they were both moving to the B1G in the 2024-25 season.  Although the geography’s a joke, it means that there will be two more college sports superpowers arriving to the Big Ten. For USC, it’s no argument that they are a college football superpower. They’ve been as much of a running joke as Texas has in recent years, but the Trojans won back-to-back Nattys in 2004 and 2005, and should were a Vince Young whisker from winning one in 2006. Oh, and overall they’ve won – or been voted as –

Prayers from the SEC

As we know, the ‘Supreme’ Court made a ruling yesterday that public school officials could pray, because it’s a First Amendment thing. With that in mind, here’s a few public SEC figures that we think could deliver one hell of a prayer. And this includes Texas and Oklahoma, because we believe in Prophecy (Manning 3: 42). Nick Saban: “Lord, please let me have all the National Championships, all the five-star recruits, have $1 billion for NIL, and to beat everyone into the ****ing ground every year.” Auburn: “Lord, please show us another head coach after you rid us of Evil Brian mid-season. And we pray that it’s not the return of that tool TT, who has proved to be an embarrassment

Arch Manning’s decision to go to Texas was ‘Austin Weird’

There’s a horrible expression in Austin that goes “Keep Austin Weird”. In the 70s, it worked. Austin was a practical cow-town, where the University was about the biggest thing there, and everything else was LSD and horrible music. Now – thanks to the influx of half of California and a business-friendly environment (read: No taxes on businesses! And we’re happy to let you screw up the environment while you’re at it!), Austin is one of – if not THE – fastest-growing (and trendiest) cities in America. Now, ‘Keep Austin weird’ is basically an absolute joke. d But despite the overload of ‘Western Liberals’ (their words, certainly not mine), the Texas Longhorns (and their plight) is still one of the biggest

‘Should the SEC have a mini play-off?’

      First of all, this idea does not come from my own brain, it comes from a question to the hosts Andy Staples’ podcast. The jist of it is: “Why not have the Top 4 in the Big Ten play each other to get a spot in the Big Ten Championship Game on the final-week-before-the-B1G-Championship-Game’ of the season, with other match-ups to decide bowl eligibility or simply local rivalry games?’ This occurred to me as absolute genius. Of course, Greg Sankey had already thought of the SEC having its own play-off, because he’s pissed at the fact that only four teams can go in the College Football Play-Off each year, and an 8 team play-off could see as many

The SEC Future: How a 3-6 schedule would work

Everyone talked about the new SEC schedule. Regardless of what Greg Sankey would love to say, the SEC is going to follow the Pac-12 – (and Big 12 a few years before that, incidentally), and go for a system where the best two team in the SEC play each other in the SEC Championship Game. And that system would be 9 games, and not 8. One thing’s that’s not going to happen is the ‘1-8 schedule’ (1 permanent rival, and 7 revolving rivals), because that will mean that a lot of key TV assets won’t play each other, not to mention Georgia v Auburn, or Alabama v LSU, and Texas v Texas A&M. There are some people who like the
