Last season was a stunning one for Mississippi State. They went to No.1 in the polls. They beat LSU on the road for the first time in their history. They had their second 10-win season in their history. Their QB, Dak Prescott, was a Heisman contender. OK, so underestimating the Bulldogs was our mistake, Starkville. OFF-SEASON Dak Prescott had an awful Spring Break when he was blindsided by some douchebag in Panama Beach. He didn't press assault charges, which is a shame. He should have done. Coaching-wise, Dan Mullen lost defensive co-ordinator Geoff Collins to Florida, and replied by Read more [...]

If we hear that Tennessee is back one more time, we will scream. Seriously. Could they be great this year? We will see. LAST YEAR There was an awful lot of hype that the Vols would beat Florida (when, let's face it, you couldn't have had a better opportunity) and cause Missouri a hell of a lot of problems. They failed both tests. They abused Alabama offensive co-ordinator (and their turncoat former coach) Lane Kiffin, and failed there too. Yes, we know they won four out of their last five including spanking Iowa in their bowl game...but look at the opposition. The only ranked team the Vols Read more [...]

      People laugh at Clemson for managing to choke the big games away, but let's be honest, Georgia's as bad as Clemson is. They lost to South Carolina and Florida despite being overwhelming favourites, and didn't get to the SEC Championship Game, thanks to Missouri - a team they beat - managing to only lose to....(you guessed in) Georgia.  Despite losing Todd Gurley to the NFL, hopes are high, thanks to Nick Chubb. But there are a lot of things for Mark Richt to do before that.... LAST SEASON Georgia beat Clemson handsomely at the start of the season, and Read more [...]

This weekend wasn't the greatest for the Arkansas Razorbacks, after their top running back, Jonathan Williams, broke his foot in fall camp and is out for the rest of the season. Now, a lot rests on some other players. How is this going to have an affect on the Hogs - who some believe could be battling it out for a SEC West title (or at least be much improved?) LAST YEAR This was the best 7-6 (2-6 in the SEC) team in the nation. Had Arkansas' kickers actually been able to do their job properly and their defense not choked up a late lead, the Razorbacks would have beaten Alabama and Texas Read more [...]

  If it's quarterbacks the SEC lacks, it's running backs we are overflowing with. Leonard Fournette, Derrick Henry, Nick Chubb....the list runs on. It's probably the hardest list we'll have to do all season (that and the "Who's going to win the SEC West" poll). Anyway, here's our Top 10.... 1. Leonard Fournette (LSU) 6-1, 250lbs and very, very fast, Fournette ran for 1,034 yards and 10 TDs, and also had seven receptions for 127 yards. His season was highlighted by his running over a Texas A&M defender, and since then, he's been a Heisman favorite.  Some might think this Read more [...]

Alabama is third is the 2015 preseason Coaches Poll behind National Champion Ohio State and TCU. Ohio State was named overwhelming No.1 with 62 first-placed votes, with TCU and the Crimson Tide garnering one each. Baylor is fourth and Oregon rounds out the Top Five. Of other SEC schools to be named to the Top 25, Auburn was No.7 and Georgia No.9. The SEC leads the way with three teams in the Top 10, with the Big 12, Pac-12 and Big Ten both having two. LSU is 13th, Ole Miss is 15th, Arkansas is 20th, Missouri is 23rd and Tennessee is 25th. Mississippi State and Texas A&M were voted Read more [...]

Jaylon Jones, a four-star cornerback for the 2016 recruiting class, has committed to play for Hugh Freeze and Ole Miss. Jones, from the storied high school Allen (Allen, TX), is rated as the country's 18th-best corner, the 30th-best prospect out of Texas, and the country's 230th-best player. The player, who is 5-11, 182lb and can run a 4.40 40-yard dash, is a huge get for Ole Miss after he was recruited heavily by Texas A&M, Mississippi State, Auburn, Missouri, Ohio State, Texas and Notre Dame among others. Jones visited an Ole Miss camp on July 18th and committed 10 days later.     Read more [...]

Ole Miss has gained the commitment of three-star running back D’Vaughn Pennamon.

Pennamon, from Manvel High School in Manvel, TX, is 5 ft 11 and 199lbs. He also plays wide receiver.

The player was also heavily recruited by Texas A&M, Arkansas, and Tennessee, but also had offers from Georgia, Missouri, and Florida.

 

Ole Miss' Hugh Freeze has got some good food recommendations, and some opinions about the confederate flag and suspended star Laremy Tunsil. Here are his best SEC Media Day Quotes ON LAREMY TUNSIL "There's very little to report. We obviously will cooperate fully with, whether it's the NCAA process or the law enforcement process, we will cooperate fully with that. I'm very confident, like I said, in the way we do things and what we can control. I'm very confident in the person that Laremy Tunsil is too, and we look forward to that coming to a conclusion at whatever time is appropriate." ON Read more [...]

Les Miles was awesome when he took the podium at SEC Media Days. Here are some of the best bits. ON .....?  "It appears to me that some of the media have not shaved and have left their car running in the back parking lot, kind of ready to get off to fishing or wherever they're supposed to be off to. Scooter has way too much sun to be inside. I can tell you that, I did not bring tennis shoes. That is a product of a sports information director who knows that I have an attachment to those shoes. I'm wearing regular shoes and regular socks." ON QUARTERBACKS "I think Brandon Harris has Read more [...]
