WEEK 6 PREVIEW: Will Texas and Florida take us back to the Stone Age?

Before I start, here’s a link from a UK Premier League about something that a lot of men suffer from: Depression. “We’re not talking Georgia beat Alabama and now I’m depressed” depression, we’re talking: “I am with 100,000 people and I feel totally alone” depression. And if we see someone like that at our games, we need to talk to them before its too late. I wish the NCAA would do something along the lines of this, but they won’t, because money. Anyway, here’s something to lighten the mood: My Week 6 picks for the SEC. This week, there aren’t a lot of teams on the schedule, which means that you’ll be getting something the size of Revelation for each game

It’s been a long time….

Hey all, It’s been way too long. I haven’t written because college football has been way, way too frustrating at the moment. The NIL disease that rampaged through the college basketball arena has hit college football even worse. I don’t know who’s going to play for whom after one year, because loyalty isn’t earned, it’s by checkbook. I know where this is going. It won’t just be the guys fuming at the WR who they gave $50,000 to in a brown bag in the local Buc-ees, it’ll be thousands of people fuming at the WR who cost the group $3 million to go from Miami to Texas. I know where this is going, because the transfer portal has already given

SEC Rankings: Texas A&M, LSU rising hard

As we thought would happen, we know the best team in the SEC: And it’s not Texas. Despite what the garbage-throwing, cowboy-hat-but-never-seen-a-cow-except-Bevo crowd might have thought, it would always going to be tough against this Georgia front, who ate Quin Ewers and Arch Manning alive. It made us think: Is the second-best team in the SEC not actually Texas, but one of their biggest rivals? Anyhoo…. Georgia (6-1): Utterly dominant at Texas (defensively), but on the offensive side, Travis Etienne bailed out Carson Beck, who was simply awful in Austin. And that balance will be just fine. Texas A&M (6-1): Finishing drives, defensively very solid…or just plain good? Conor Weigman seems to have found his feet (finally), and Le’Veon Moss

Evan Stewart enters the transfer portal

If things couldn’t have gotten a lot worse after the Jimbo Fisher era for Texas A&M, the school’s best receiver – Evan Stewart – has entered the transfer portal. Alabama, Texas and Florida are said to be vying for his signature, with Alabama deemed to be top of the food chain in that department. If Alabama or Texas wins out, then it automatically gives them fuel for the play-off, while for Florida, it would change the momentum of Billy Napier’s program. I put out a tweet saying: “Holy shit! Didn’t see that one coming!”, but then I thought again. This had been rumored for weeks. Either it was Stewart’s camp putting fuel into the fire to get teams wanting his

SEC SCHEDULE FOR 2024 RELEASED

The SEC released their new, Texas and OU-expanded schedule. There are a lot of interesting games, and a lot of dullards. A lot of SEC fans have talked about Texas v Oklahoma being an exiting game because it’s now a S-E-C game, but if you weren’t excited about that match-up every year anyway, then you’re probably ignorant. The great thing about this schedule is that there are some cracker non-conference match-ups, including Texas going to Michigan, Florida v Miami, LSU v USC, Georgia v Clemson and Alabama’s trip to Wisconsin, as well as and an underrated monster in Arkansas going to Oklahoma State. There are a lot of non-conference match-ups we hate that the SEC produces every week, but in

NCAA (finally!) makes NIL proposal

The NCAA has finally made a NIL proposal that might be logical and good, rather than try and starve their most important commodity of their most important commodity – money. While a letter from the NCAA’s new president Charlie Barker didn’t implicitly say this, he’s obviously fed up with the lines that Mark Emmert had trotted out about the fact that scholarships should be enough for a kid to want to play D-I sports. He’s also noticed that the govermental powers-that-be are not falling over themselves to help the NCAA in their antitrust scheme, either. In the letter, he put forward a proposal that all D-I schools should be required to invest no less than $30,000 in an educational trust

Quick bowl reaction: Bama in, FSU/ Georgia out

After they beat Georgia in the National Championship Game and Florida State’s offense looked so ragged against Louisville, it seemed inevitable that Alabama was going to be the final team into the College Football Play-Off. They will play No.1 Michigan, while No.2 Washington and No.3 Texas face off in the other one. Georgia fans could moan about not being one of the best teams in, but they sank themselves by back-to-back not-great performances against Georgia Tech and Alabama respectively. In the end, they ended up No.6 in the nation, and will face Florida State in the Orange Bowl – something we suspect won’t have a lot of weight if you consider the amount of players who won’t play. But the bottom
