SEC football talk, news and discussion.
Lane Kiffin’s return to Tennessee and Georgia playing Arkansas heads-up and the continuation of Ed Orgeron being shoved on the funeral pyre plays our SEC’s schedule.

Alabama’s National Championship last season was a beauty. They buried defenses on offense, and after the Ole Miss near-debacle, they buried defenses too. But the NFL scourged a team like we’ve never team. The Crimson Tide had SIX first round picks (WRs Jaylen Waddle, DeVonta Smith, CB Patrick Surtain, QB Mac Jones, OT Alex Leatherwood, RB Najee Harris), plus second rounder C Lance Dickerson and DT Christian Barmore and OG Deonte Brown (6th round) and LS Thomas Fletcher (6th round). LB Dylan Moses, TE Miller Forristall, TE Carl Tucker and LB Josh McMillon. To put in in ‘Bama terms, that’s a Heisman winner (Smith), a Heisman finalist (Jones), a possible Heisman-finalist-if-he-hadn’t-gotten-injured (Waddle), one of the best CBs in the country

Read moreIt’s SEC Championship Game weekend, which would normally have us all focusing on CBS and watching the game, but guess what? There are other games. The Texas A&M vs Tennessee game is actually a more important game than the shindig in Atlanta. If Texas A&M beats Tennessee and Ohio State either struggles or doesn’t beat Northwestern in the Big Ten Championship Game, or if Notre Dame ‘does the double’ over Clemson in the ACC Championship Game, a win for Texas A&M over Tennessee would put the Aggies in the College Football Play-Off for the first time in the Aggies history. As for the game in Atlanta, Florida was so piss-poor against LSU that it’s hard to work out how they

Read moreDan Mullen is dislikable. He thinks The Swamp should be full during a pandemic because his team lost to Texas A&M. He doesn’t take COVID-19 seriously – and then a ton of his players (as well as himself) got it, and he still hasn’t backtracked on his comments. He starts brawls, then turns up wearing a Darth Vader costume, because his knack of reading the room is exceptionally….bad. Heck, he doesn’t like the NCAA forcing his players to take a day-off on National Voting Day (Oh, and he seems to be OK with his wife giving players a kiss on the lips before games). But Dan Mullen is a very, very good offensive football coach. He promoted a walk-on to
Read moreAfter a poor game against Vanderbilt and a blow-out by Alabama, Texas A&M fans were fuming. They wanted Jimbo Fisher’s head on a plate. Some of the more racist elements of Texas A&M messageboards straight-up blamed Kellen Mond’s off-season civil rights activities for a reason why the school looked shabby. Florida was coming, and the season was going to go to the wolves. And then Florida came to town. In a messy, fun game, Florida was beaten, 41-38. Mond was brilliant, throwing for 338 yards and 3 TDs, and didn’t do anything stupid. A week later, they stopped Mississippi State’s ‘Air Raid’ offense in Starkville, and suddenly Texas A&M fans are talking about how they could pip Georgia to the
