Top 20 SEC Games of 2019: Watch Again!

It wasn’t the greatest season of SEC games, but it was a great season to be an SEC fan. Whether it was the sheet craziness of the Alabama vs Auburn game (we’re still trying to work out how it all unfurled) to the rip-your-nose-off atmosphere in Athens for the visit of Notre Dame to the manic upsets involving Tennessee, it was fun. Here you can re-live your favourite SEC games. Some of them full-length, other of them simply highlights. Happily, not all of these have Gary Danielson commentating.  Alabama at Auburn FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE ALL THE CRAZINESS. 2. LSU at Alabama FOR JOE BURROW. 3. Oregon vs Auburn (Neutral Field) FOR THE MOMENT THAT YOU LIKED BO NIX

September will leave the SEC with tough decisions

College football is going to leave us with some tough decisions. While we hope that we would have forgotten about Coronavirus and all the problems it has caused us in six months, that isn’t going to happen. And nor will the spread of the pandemic and nor will the deaths. As we know, one of the biggest causes of the virus is the fact that it spreads quickly in crowds. The fact that we want to be together has been the reason why governors in most states have put in ‘shelter in place’ orders, in an effort to stop people moving to walk around parks and socialising, in an effort to slow down the virus and stop more people than

The SEC cuts all Spring Games

Doing their bit against COVID-19, the SEC has cancelled all of the Spring Games. The conference suspended all athletic activity until April 15th, although it would not be surprising if that is longer. This will leave a lot of coaches and players in the ‘corridor of uncertainty’. Players will want to know if they should stay around or transfer. Coaches will want to find out who their No.1 QB is in a live game. And of course, this also impacts recruiting, as high schools have either shut down completely, or schools have abandoned recruiting trips. Of course, you can expect a proliferation of online recruiting via Zoom and players’ meetings, as well as group ‘home’ weights sessions (most schools will

Drafting from the SEC: Stock tips

OK, so I’m your broker and the stock market is crashing. You look elsewhere, because you’re a gambling addict and you can’t sit on the loose change. ‘Let’s look at SEC Futures’, I tell you. Immediately, you’re thinking I’m talking about the Securities & Exchange Commission, and trying to work out whether the conversation that Larry and you had about bonds in the bar last night could have been eavesdropped by some genius in New York City. ‘No, no. It’s about the NFL,” I reassure you. “You know? The place where the owners couldn’t really give a crap about the fans. Yeah, they provide the atmosphere and add millions to their pockets in stupid merchandising, but it’s all about the

Georgia tops 2020 Recruiting Rankings

If recruiting had a National Championship, Georgia will be in the Top 4 year in, year out. For the 2020 class, Georgia would have topped the lot. After taking in 4 5-star recruits and 15 four-star recruits – including 6-5, 298lb OT Broderick Jones – who may well start now Cade Mays has transferred to Tennessee – and 6-4, 305lb OC Sedrick Van Pray – today, UGA cemented its ranking at the top. The Bulldogs’ class was highlighted the best corner in the nation – Kelee Ringo – deciding to head for Athens. He was fourth on 24-7’s composite player ranking. Last year UGA had the country’s No.2 recruiting class, and in 2018 the Bulldogs locked in the No.1 class.

Good luck, sir: Sam Pittman is Arkansas’ new head coach

Arkansas was rumored to be going after Lane Kiffin. And Mike Norvell. And just about anybody else. Then came the name Sam Pittman, the associate head coach and offensive line coach at Georgia. The 58 year-old is not well-known until you are well-versed in the world of college football assistant coaches. Pittman has gone through 11 colleges in his 24 years in the major college system. He’s been in the SEC since 2013, working with Tennessee (O-Line), Arkansas (Assistant head coach/O-Line) and then Georgia. He was much-loved by his players, with Georgia players stepping up to give tribute. He will be paid $3 million per year by the Razorbacks. Pittman has also been excellent at recruiting top offensive line talent

Eliah Drinkwitz named as Missouri Coach

After a lot of quick hot stove conversation, Eli Drinkwitz was named as Missouri’s coach on Tuesday. 36-year old Drinkwitz, who comes from Appalachian State after posting an 11-1 record last season, was in the SEC for Auburn in 2010-1 as the quality control coach, before going to Arkansas State with then-OC Gus Malzahn and then onto Boise State and NC State as he moved furiously up the coaching food chain.“ “Coach Malzahn and I actually got together this past summer and talked and I think there was some surprise, on both sides, about how far we both evolved from those (early) points together — but we still have that foundation of our time together, too.” He will be the youngest coach

Predictions for the Iron Bowl and all other SEC games

Get your last dose of jam-packed college football Saturdays this weekend. On your Thursday you can drift into Turkey hell with this year’s Egg Bowl (Ole Miss vs Mississippi State), go to Friday for the ‘Thank God the Season’s Over Bowl’ between Missouri and Arkansas, then refresh again for a Saturday with ‘Good Ole Fashioned Hate’ with Georgia vs Georgia Tech , The Commonwealth Cup (Louisville vs Kentucky) or one of the more underrated hate games in the South, the Clemson vs South Carolina game. Then move onto The Iron Bowl (which you can put on silent because Gary Danielson will be commentating on it), or 30 mins later Tennessee’s continuing story of redemption at Vanderbilt and then end up

Missouri gets screwed by the NCAA

There was no other headline than this: Missouri got screwed by the NCAA. Despite self-reporting academic cheating to the NCAA because of an academic tutor doing academic work for “12 student athletes”, including completing online coursework that “included assignments, quizzes or exams”. The NCAA added: “She completed an entire course for one student-athlete and completed portions of a placement exam for two student-athletes.” Mizzou was thumped with a bowl ban, three years of probation, a vacation of records in which football, baseball and softball student-athletes competed while ineligible, a 5% reduction in the amount of scholarships in each of the football, baseball and softball programs during the 2019-20 academic year, recruiting restrictions which included a seven-week ban on unofficial visits, a 12.5% reduction

The Worst Coaching Hires At Each SEC School

A few days after he was announced as the head coach of Arizona State, I put a tweet out that basically said how much the hire sucked. I wasn’t the only one. After last Saturday’s stunning win over Oregon, I might well have been wrong. That got me thinking to hirings that have happened in the SEC…..and the bad ones. We’re not going anywhere near Arkansas’ interim coaching hire John L. Smith, because he inherited Bobby Petrino’s trainwreck (or motorcycle wreck) and then Brett Bielema arrived. Every SEC school has had their crappy SEC hires. Some further back in time than others. ALABAMA: Jennings B. Whitworth (1955-57): Although circumstances weren’t great for Whitworth (he came after Harold Drew’s 4-5-2 season,
