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.

SEC West Preview: Is it Alabama versus the world?

  Every year it seems, people will want to know whether anyone will unseat the immovable objects. In the college football, those unmovable objects are routinely Clemson and Alabama. Last year it was the same, until LSU actually proved what can happen when you get a good quarterback, some future NFL first round wide receivers, and an excellent offensive coordinator, which in one season undid the ole cliche always attributed to the Tigers which was “They’ve got the talent, but they are perennially disappointing”. This year, the objects will be a bit different. We don’t know how many practices each team has managed. We don’t know what what how many have contracted COVID-19 and when, because they aren’t about to

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

Georgia’s new QB Newman opts out

Georgia’s new quarterback Jamie Newman – a lot of people’s tips to start this year – has decided to opt out of the 2020 season on COVID-19 concerns.

LSU DT Shelvin to opt out of 2020 season

LSU defensive tackle Tyler Shelvin is going to opt out of the 2020 season. The 6-3, 364 lb junior is widely-tipped to be one of the top picks at his position in the 2021 NFL Draft. Last year he had 39 total tackles – including 3 tackles for loss and 13 solo tackles, as well 2 defended passes. That led LSU’s starters for the year. He was a massive unit to stop – a reason that although he started all 15 games, he didn’t record a tackle against Oklahoma and Clemson in the College Football Play-Off games.

Ja’Marr Chase opting out of season – reports

LSU wide receiving star Ja’Marr Chase is going to opt out of the 2020 season, according to reports. Apparently this is not COVID-19 related, but so Chase can concentrate on getting prepared for the 2021 Draft. CBS said that it was “agents may have simply convinced Chase to leave before his third collegiate season”. And although it’s claimed that it’s not related to the virus, here’s the deal: If Chase had had a bad case of COVID-19, it would have exhausted him. The virus has been linked with heart conditions, lung conditions and left tons of tons of victims utterly exhausted. Imagine if that happened to Chase during his junior year. As for Chase, he really didn’t have anything to

Steve Spurrier’s ownership of Peyton Manning is legendary

Peyton Manning probably doesn’t give Steve Spurrier a second thought. After he’s a legend, he’s won two Super Bowls, and he’s been paid an awful lot of money to sell everything from insurance to pizza. Steve Spurrier probably doesn’t Peyton Manning a second thought. He’s a legend in the College Football world, and he’s one of the Kings of Smacktalk. But if you look closely, Steve Spurrier has gone 5-0 against Peyton Manning, and in snipey comments, probably more than that. He’s also 1-0 against the Manning family in Heismans, and has won 1 more National Championship, 5 more SEC titles and 15 more SEC East titles than the rest of the Manning family put together). He never played against

2007 Memory: Florida vs LSU

With no SEC football in the near future, I decided to turn off the news and turn on what I enjoy the most: Good college football games. Most great college football games in the SEC in the past 10-15 years have generally been played by LSU. Because Les Miles coaches Les Miles, and Les Miles was/is batshit crazy. The 2007 season was no different. Going into the Florida game, The LSU team – which eventually won the National Championship – after one of the weirdest, most-fun seasons in college football memory – was going into Baton Rouge against one of its most hated rivals 5-0, having easily beaten its opposition, including No.9 Virginia Tech and No.12 South Carolina. Florida, on the
