Will Georgia roll on? Who’s going to win the Lane Bowl? Week 3 SEC Scores and Predictions

This is going to be quick, because the wife and I are meant to be on ‘Date Day’ but I forgot to ratchet these predictions out this week. For the record, thoughts and prayer go out to the people of Lake Charles, LA, which will have been hit by a hurricane by the end of the day. My heart breaks. Anyway, the big game of the day is Tennessee’s trip to Georgia and Lane Kiffin and Nick Saban reunitining in the never-particularly-boring Alabama vs Ole Miss game, and an intriguing game between Arkansas and Auburn. LSU’s ‘home game’ in Death Valley has been moved to Missouri, Mississippi State plays Kentucky, Florida’s going to Texas A&M, and South Carolina go to

Alabama vs Ole Miss under threat as Delta looms

Alabama’s game at Ole Miss is under threat because of Hurricane Delta. The hurricane is scheduled to coming through Mississippi on Saturday, putting worries that the game won’t go ahead. So far, the game will go ahead, but Lane Kiffin has put options on the table. “We’ve heard three options,” Kiffin said in a press conference. “One would be Friday, one would be Sunday and one would be later in the year. I don’t think we’ll know until [Thursday] for sure. I think they’re kind of holding off with the most accurate weather we can get. Nothing has changed so far.” So far, Auburn’s clash with Arkansas won’t be impacted, because the two schools are only expecting rain. “We are aware

Hurricane Delta sends college football spreads plummeting

If you took the overs yesterday on SEC Football games, you’ll be fuming because you didn’t read the weather. Hurricane Delta – which has gone from a relatively pedestrian 30mph to a Cat 4, 130mph monster that’s bearing down on the Alabama/Mississippi Coast, has caused its own havoc with the bettors and bookies alike. For the SEC games involved, it seems that LSU is talking to Missouri about moving the game from Baton Rouge to Columbia, because Saturday could see a Cat 2 hurricane sitting nearby the Baton Rouge area, which could make the stadium and stuff inaccessible. The reason for the potential move is why LSU’s spread has ONLY dropped from 54 1/2 to 52 1/2. Then of course there’s Ole

SEC Week 2 Impressed List: Arkansas gets the thumbs up

In terms of the Impressed/Depressed list, we’ve got quite the list of who we were impressed with and who we were really not. There will be some surprise about No.1… Arkansas: THE HOGS WERE A 17 POINT UNDERDOG AND WON. WAS THERE ANY MORE IMPRESSIVE (DEFENSIVE) PERFORMANCE? Thanks to Barry Odom, who’s a better defensive coordinator in his lifetime than he’s ever been a head coach, they worked out Mike Leach, only letting KJ Costello only throw for one pass over 20 yards. It was awesome. Sure, the offense was (again) pitiful – and they managed to get the ball back off a muffed punt catch – but the losing streak is over, people. Georgia: Georgia went aggressive from the word

Costello, Harris and a Georgia QB: Week 2 SEC Players to watch

It’s Week 2 of the SEC Football season, and we’ve already seen a monster upset with LSU losing at home to Mississippi State, a very weird Vanderbilt vs Texas A&M game where the Aggies were awful and didn’t get remotely near the spread, and a true ‘game of two halves’ between Georgia and Arkansas, where Georgia looked like a Dawgs’ breakfast in the first half, and then did the Razorbacks dawgy-style in the second half. OK, so that’s enough weird puns. So here are your players to watch: Georgia vs Auburn Georgia: Whoever the quarterback is (Stetson Bennett or JT Daniels): All eyes are going to focus on Bennett or Daniels to get it done against an Auburn front that should

Week 1 SEC Rankings

Who impressed us most this year in the SEC? Mississippi State (1-0): It shouldn’t really have stunned people to find out that KJ Costello, who threw for 3,540 yards and 26 TDs in his 2018 year and had already hit another 1,038 in his second before he was injured at Stanford was a good quarterback, and yet Gary & Brad just made stupid jokes about him being a Stanford grad all day long. Costello threw for 623 yards and 5 TDs on LSU. It wasn’t always pretty (he threw 60 times and only had a 65.2% completion percentage and was responsible for two bad turnovers), but Leach’s offense hit TEN different receivers, led by Osirius Mitchell, Kylin Hill and JaVonta

SEC Opening Weekend Preview: Will Kentucky upset Auburn?

Thank you, Lord Jesus. The SEC is back on Saturday. For a while, we thought there would be no college football season, let alone SEC season. But the SEC waited – and came up with a plan. The plan is that every SEC side will play 10 games. This week is Week 1. So here we go – in order of games that we’re most excited to see. No.23 Kentucky at No.8 Auburn (-7.5)  Auburn bring back two of the better wide receivers in the SEC West in Seth Williams and Anthony Schwartz, and a very solid defensive corps as well. Kentucky will start senior QB Terry Wilson and brings along a strong line with him and a running back group

The Story of Courtney and Jenna-Sue

This the story of Courtney and Jenna-Sue, Who saw Auburn win and didn’t know what to do Jumping around look like a hassle So they leapt over a hedge and didn’t look like an a**hole. But like any good photography, there’s an awesome story. And it’s not just Nick Saban and getting tricked by Gus Malzahn, either… COURTNEY Courtney walked into Phi Mu as a girl from the A-T-L (or at least that’s what she told everybody), but really, she’s actually from Marietta. She’s gone to Auburn because it’s more a fun time that it would be at Georgia. She’s might not look like it, but she’s the party animal-brain bucket that everyone craves, and so she’s actually pretty bright.

Why aren’t we hearing more about COVID-19 from SEC coaches?

Today Florida said that they had 7 COVID-19 cases on their team, up from six from last week. The news silenced practice for today – not great news for Dan Mullen’s team that start the season against Ole Miss on September 26th. Right now, practice is important. Earlier on, Ed Orgeron said about COVID-19: “”I think most — not all of our players — but most of our players have caught it… I think hopefully they don’t catch it again and hopefully they’re not out for games… I’m not going to say all of them…. But some players have caught it. I don’t know the percentage. Hopefully, that once you catch it, you don’t get it again.” Orgeron declined to talk about

Who’s going to win the SEC Quarterback battles?

This is going to be an interesting season for a lot of reasons. Most of them have already been covered. But for a lot of SEC fans, the question will be: “Who’s going to be the damned starting quarterback?” For some – like in Florida, Tennessee, Auburn and Texas A&M – the question is fairly obvious, but for other schools, the battles will rage right until the Friday before Gameday. So here’s our lowdown on who’s going to win out. ALABAMA Our pick: Mac Jones over Bryce Young. Jones and Young – the latter one the No.1-rated dual threat QB on the 24-7 2020 recruiting board and the second-best player in the nation – had an almighty battle, and both will
