The final week….Is Rivalry Week: Week 13 SEC Predictions

Happy Thanksgiving. Finally, we’ll all be able to see each other again. We’ll crack jokes, maybe laugh a little, and try and tell ourselves that we like sweet potato pie and can definitely have two helping of Momma’s Yams. During those family reunions, cousins of different in-state college dispositions will meet up, drink far too much bourbon, and argue like children. There will be discussions of tree-poisoning, and dog-pissing. But everywhere – from internet to in-your-face- will become a cesspool of bitter collegiate football division. Those arguments will develop into fist-fights, probable divorces and definitely decisions never to go to Uncle Joe’s. Ever. Again. And elsewhere, Texas and Texas A&M – the bastions of bitching – will sit each other

Dan Mullen fired by Florida

After Saturday’s overtime loss to Missouri, the University of Florida had no choice: Fire Dan Mullen. Two weeks before it had been his defensive coordinator, Todd Grantham, who was booted. Grantham was seen by some as a sacrificial lamb, so that his friend Mullen could keep himself around for another year. But it didn’t happen. Saturday’s awful 24-23 loss in Columbia, in which the Gators had one regular-time touchdown in 360 yards of offense, wad utterly dreadful to watch (Note: Missouri weren’t much better!). But Mullen’s firing is still a weird one. Overall, he was 34-15 –  the third-best in The Swamp behind Steve Spurrier and Urban Meyer. After all, he was one horror-loss against LSU last season from getting

Will ESPN change the Georgia vs Arkansas game time? No.

A friend of mine texted me today. He was FUMING. “Can you believe that they’ve put Georgia vs Arkansas at frickin’ 11am?’ We live in the Houston area, so 11am kick-offs aren’t the greatest time for our wake-ups or our livers, but we stride on. So I looked and behold: No.2 Georgia will play No.8 Arkansas under the bright sunlight, instead of what the fans of the SEC probably wanted more – a night game, with Sanford Stadium going off the chain. “They should have waited until after the Texas A&M – Arkansas game to make that call,” he said. Instead, ESPN made the call on September 20th. What was a little galling for Georgia fans – and the rest

After Week 3: Ranking the SEC

When the refs steal the a lot of the game’s limelight, you know that the reffing was terrible. And in the Mississippi State vs Memphis Penn State vs Auburn clashes, they were beyond terrible. No, stupid press releases about how these dumbf**ks screwed up the call might make the SEC feel better, but these guys should be suspended. I mean, they are costing coaches their potential livelihoods here! Apart from that – and that’s like saying: “Apart from that Mrs Lincoln, how was the play?” – here’s our SEC rankings. Georgia (3-0): The Dawgs look unbeatable at the moment. Sure, their secondary gave up 2 or 3 big plays to South Carolina, but the strength was meant to be the
