If your SEC Coaches were one big frat

Just heard from the SEC: “The coaches aren’t just a group of head coaches, they are a fraternity”. In our mind, they’ve gotta be SAEs, because they’ve got a ton of money and attract the Rock-Hunters.

We’ll keep you updated with the Play-Off Committee’s thoughts on Tuesday. Oh, and we think the SEC Championship Game is a waste of time. All the game is going to give us is injuries.  And both sets of fans — while there is certainly going to be a massive boost to their egos by winning the conference — would rather have a week (or two) off before the play-offs.  TEAMS DEFINITELY IN
