Lane Kiffin: Winner or Whiner? (Ole Miss Preview)

Lane Kiffin is on a mission to make a statesman of himself. After failing to get the Auburn job, Kiffin has decided that he’s going to be the Nick Saban, proclaiming the evils of NIL. He reckons that it’s a crazy free market, with schools that have the most aggressive donors (I think he was taking a shot at the rest of the SEC, but who knows?) being able to sign any recruit they want, limiting the actions of recruiting and essentially played Money-ed ball (you heard that line hear first). Speaking of free market, it’s not secret that Lane Kiffin was lifting his blouse to Auburn for ages, and it didn’t work out. For some reason (and we suspect

The questions that you’d really like to ask each SEC coach

Every week, SEC head coaches come to the podium. And every week, they are thrown softballs by the members of the press. They are asked about quarterbacking situations, how they feel about practice, and in roundabout terms, what the situation is with certain players, who get themselves in trouble. But there’s a question (or two) that we’d like a SEC coach to answer this offseason. And won’t. ALABAMA: “Mr Saban, how did it feel when David Pollack said on air that Alabama’s crown has now been taken over Georgia on College Gameday when he was sat next to you? Were you more pissed off at Pollack or the College Gameday people, and why didn’t they give you the chance to

New ’24 schedule sets up some SEC monster clashes

The arrival of Texas and Oklahoma may have people fuming about the teams voting not to go to a nine game schedule, but this hasn’t stopped the SEC from putting together some monster clashes for the 2024 year, which will lack divisions. THE ‘WE JUST WALKED INTO A CAULDRON’ TEAM Texas will play Georgia and Florida at home, while going on the road to Arkansas (who hate their guts) and Texas A&M (who hate them even more). There’s also the Red River Rivalry to boot. Oh, and they also travel to the Big House to play Michigan (Home dates with Kentucky and Mississippi State and a road game at Vanderbilt make it a bit palatable, but STILL). Oklahoma gets Alabama, Tennessee

Week 11 Review: Bad week for Kentucky, another one for Texas A&M

The news that Texas A&M had a shitty weekend is hardly surprising. Jimbo Fisher’s side is on one of the worst slide’s in his career, and certainly in the Aggies’ small SEC history. It’s so bad that you wouldn’t shocked if there’s the sort of field invasion that there was in 2021 when the Aggies turned over Alabama…even though the competition is UMass. This week it was a fired-up Auburn, who filled Jordan-Hare in the best atmosphere of the week despite having one of the worst SEC records of the lot. But the big surprise to us was the shocking performance produced by Kentucky, who lost at home to Vanderbilt. I thought Kentucky was meant to be ranked and have

Week 11 Preview: Can Arkansas nuke LSU’s SEC West plans?

OK. So there’s going to be a fun game in Oxford at 2.30pm God’s time when Alabama goes to Ole Miss to play. There’s the Nick Saban v Lane Kiffin experience (both united over their hatred of Jimbo Fisher), and there’s the old lines getting trotted out about Alabama being on their knees. But in our view, the biggest game of the week isn’t that. It’s LSU’s trip to Arkansas in a game that could be a Hangover Saturday for the Tigers. However bad Arkansas was in the game against Liberty, they could have tied in the final seconds. And with KJ Jefferson, watch out. Elsewhere, Georgia goes to Mississippi State, Missouri’s ‘great-defense-but-no-offense’ travels to ‘All-Offense-Poor-Defense’ Tennessee, South Carolina goes

SEC: Georgia leads the Red Wave

Once again, Georgia found itself in the bright lights of the Nation, and once again, Georgia delivered. No, we’re not talking about the mid-terms, where adverts for candidates became turn-on-silent-and-maybe-go-grab-a-beer-TV for a majority of college football games this season (ESPN+ was the only one not to show any), we’re talking about the absolute savages who dominated Tennessee on Saturday. Georgia shocked the Vols by punching them in the mouth repeatedly, behind a ravenous 90-something crowd that was so ‘loud that people definitely came out hoarse, but with the added flavor of tinnitus. The 26-13 scoreline doesn’t remotely show the gulf between both sides – and Tennessee is still the second-best team in the SEC. Elsewhere – and this was the

SEC Week 10 Preview: Cancel your diary from 3.30 onwards in SEC land

If you’re on Death Row, it’s your last few days before the fryer and you’re somehow reading this article alongside a lot of pornographic material that the wardens have given you before your journey to the Great Unknown, I’d like to give you some advice: Plead that your last week should be spent watching college football – especially SEC Football. At 3.30pm ET (2.30 pm God’s time), No.1 Tennessee rolls into No.3 Georgia with the SEC East on the line. And if things go really badly for the one of the sides, potentially a College Football Play-Off place, too. Later on, No.6 Alabama rolls into Death Valley to face LSU. Even if the scoreline’s out of hand, it’s always pretty

Week 9 Preview: Could Ole Miss put Jimbo in semi-serious trouble?

It’s a quiet schedule this week, with just five SEC games this week. One game – that was usually one of the brightest parts of the SEC calendar but has recently lost its luster – is Georgia v Florida/The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party – is now expected to be an ass-kicking. There’s only one ranked match-up (No.19 Kentucky at No.3 Tennessee), while No.15 Ole Miss’ trip to Texas A&M might well be one of the most interesting games on the schedule. The reason why? A loss to Ole Miss puts Texas A&M at a truly terrible 3-5 – which is not something that college football thought would happen in 2022. Honestly, most of us expected them to fight for

Week 7 preview: Can Tennessee upset Alabama?

Ladies and gentlemen, Saturday’s gonna be a war. Alabama going to visit an off-the-hook Neyland Stadium to face the mountain folk of Tennessee. No, we don’t know if Bryce Young’s playing, but we do know that Josh Heupel’s team is playing very, very well and this is going to be a fun game. Oh, and then there’s the usual madness of a LSU-Florida game with both sides continually failing to get out of their own way, a ranked match-up between Mississippi State and Kentucky, a fascinating non-conference match-up as Arkansas walk into Mormon Central to play BYU, as well as the continuing soap opera at Auburn with the Tigers go to Ole Miss to play what many feel is an
