The SEC: Why you should root for each team

Hello, Mr New SEC fan. You’re looking for a team to root for, and here at the SEC Football Blog we’d like to give a guide. For the record, all of our fanbases get loaded and cook good food before a game on a Saturday. Our fans are obnoxious and quasi-respectful. Our stadiums are monstrous theaters, and our players are generally pretty great. Know this: The school you root for will probably get into trouble with the NCAA – college football’s governing body – at some point, and you’ll try and deny that your guys pay players. It’s not true. They do. Oh, and don’t talk to people about politics, and y’all will be fine. Enjoy your Saturdays in the

The SEC loves black players, hates black head coaches

  If I’m an Auburn fan, I wouldn’t understand why my team didn’t even bother interviewing Tony Elliott. Tony Elliott has been in charge of one of the biggest, brightest offenses in college football for 2015-2019, and has coached NFL star in Deshaun Watson, and the next NFL star in Trevor Lawrence. He’s been a master – and has been prettily paid for it by one of college football’s most elite programs. It’s easy to see why Elliott wasn’t even interviewed. The excuse from Greene (who by the way, is African-American) will be that he didn’t bother interviewing anybody, instead of going straight for Boise State’s Brian Harsin – a move which pissed off the already-crazed Auburn booster base. But

Looking at the best Class of ’21 WRs in the SEC…

    Heisman Winner DaVonte Smith and Jaylen Waddle are gone. So is Florida standout Kadarious Toney. If we hadn’t already said goodbye to J’Marr Chase last year after he opted out of the 2020 season, he’s definitely not coming back now. Nor is Terrace Marshall, who was like God at the start of the season for LSU before he decided – in my words more than his – not worth getting injured for. Nor is Ole Miss’ Elijah Moore, Auburn speedster Anthony Schwartz and his fellow Tiger Seth Williams. But the class of 2021 has brought with it more and more talent. Sadly for the rest of the SEC, most of that talent is going to the SEC West:

A note to the incoming Alabama football athlete

  You wouldn’t know that a below-average sized, thinning-haired, 69-year old male who last played the game when your grandparents were alive, would be able to coax you – the giant among giant on the high school football stage – enough to go and play in a State that to most people would be one they wouldn’t want to visit, let alone live.   And yet year after year, the Pied Piper of Tuscaloosa brings the Gods of American High School into campus and gets them to sign on the dotted line. So here’s a letter to that class. You could replay this letter for many of the major programs, by the way. ***** If you come to Tuscaloosa, you’ll

National Championship Preview: Alabama vs Ohio State

Since we last wrote this, here’s some news: Alabama is going to play in the National Championship against Ohio State (more about that later). Crimson Tide WR DeVonta Smith won the Heisman. Speaking of Auburn, the Tigers just hired Bryan Harsin to be their head coach. Former South Carolina OC Mike Bobo will be new OC, and former Vanderbilt HC Derek Mason will be the new DC. Speaking of Vanderbilt, the Commodores hired Notre Dame DC Clark Lea to be their head coach.d Texas is hiring Alabama’s OC Steve Sarkasian to be its head coach. The SEC went 6-2 in their bowl games, with only Auburn and Florida losing their games. Florida HC Dan Mullen is reportedly trying to sell

SEC Championship Game Preview + Other Games

It’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
