Alabama LB arrested on domestic violence charges

Alabama linebacker Ryan Anderson has been arrested on third-degree domestic violence charges, according to a report by AL.com.

SEC Preseason Preview: Can South Carolina dominate the SEC East?

In Steve Spurrier, South Carolina is coached by one of the greatest coaches the SEC (and College Football), has ever seen. And he’s great with doing something from nothing, because  South Carolina’s not historically Georgia, LSU or Alabama, and yet he can still pick up some immense recruits and sends some great ones to the pros. This year, South Carolina goes into the season higher thought-of than ever. So can they win the SEC East title, which they missed out on last year? Last year Let’s get this straight: If they hadn’t have had such a sucky SEC conference, they would have won the SEC East.
