SEC Football, week two, is already upon us ... in a very quick (read:  I pushed for time) ... so in a fast run down, here comes the SEC for the weekend of Sept 10th.  All times are EST. no comments

Are you ready?  Hell, I am past ready ... now that SECRivals.com has been taken off of the divorce auctioning block, it is time to roll.

The season is underway ... and everybody is fully aware that, yes, Mark Richt IS on the hot seat.  

The almost two year divorce process has definitely taken its toll ... I know it took its toll on me last year ... both on here and off line.  Rest assured, the biggest asshole in the SEC is back ... the only question is:  Can you as a card carrying sheep-team member handle the truth?

Let's get it on, it's going to be a fun season punkin ;)  no comments

After a full season of fierce rivalry and pure hatred for one another, college football fans across the country are united by the unrelenting, torturous, gut-wrenching anxiety that is recruiting season.  

Luckily, every year, on the first Wednesday of February, the anxiety is finally relieved as ESPNU broadcasts National Signing Day for 10 straight hours.

There is no logical explanation as to why anybody outside the SEC even cares, because let’s face it, all the 5-star recruits in the world would not change the fact that they play in an inferior conference.

In other words, yeah, we all know it and so do you. no comments

National Signing Day. Those are three simple words to anyone outside of the South Eastern Conference.

Inside the conference? Yeah, it is time. Time to call in to work. Time to huddle by the LCD TV to watch high school kids play with your emotions while they pick Team Beta over the team they were supposed to sign with.

Four SEC teams are currently ranked in the mythical "Run to Recruiting Day". Are these recruiting classes worth their weight in gold or are they just hype?

It is time for us to screw our heads on correctly and look for ourselves. no comments

Most experts had Auburn third or fourth in their preseason predictions, yours truly included.  Like the experts, I looked at LSU's and Alabama's emmense talent, but failed to fully appreciate what leadership means to a football team.  Auburn has 24 seniors on this team, and while I took that into consideration, I didn't think that would be enough to overcome the talent gap between Auburn and Alabama and LSU.  I had Auburn at 10-2, with losses to LSU and at Alabama.  Enter Cam Newton.

The Auburn Tigers and South Carolina Gamecocks meet in the 2010 SEC Championship game.  With AU opening as 5 point favorites (we expect that to run down to @ 2.5 point favorites by kick-off), never count a Steve Spurrier coached team out.

How do Auburn and the Gamecocks match-up?  What will be the edge in the game?  Will Cam Newton survive a week of being asked "what's in your wallet"? no comments

SEC Game of the Week 8:

LSU Tigers at Auburn Tigers

Another SEC battle of top ten teams pits the high-powered offense of the Auburn Tigers against the LSU Tigers, who arguably have the best defense in the nation.  Both teams come into the game at 7-0 and 4-0 in the conference.  Currently, Auburn is ranked #4 in the BCS Poll, and LSU comes in #6.  Auburn is #5 in the Harris, Coaches, and AP Polls, and LSU is #6 in the three polls.

What is more compelling than a contrast in styles?  Auburn wins with a high powered up tempo offense, led by their Heisman hopeful and my current front-runner, Cam Newton.  LSU wins with their defense, led by Heisman long shot, cornerback, kick returner, and punt returner, Patrick Peterson.  Contrary to popular belief, Auburn's defense and LSU's offense are not weaknesses.  Both have made big plays when they were needed this season.

SEC Week 6 Game of the Week: LSU Tigers at Florida Gators

While one could argue that Alabama at South Carolina is the game of the week in the SEC, Alabama has been in the game of the week in week four and week five, so it is time for a non-Alabama game.  The Tigers of LSU enter the Swamp at 5-0, 3-0 in the SEC, and the Gators come in at 4-1 overall and 2-1 in SEC play.  Both teams have struggled on the offensive side of the football, and both are among the top defensive teams in the country.  The storyline of the game could be Florida's punter, Chas Henry versus LSU's all everything, Patrick Patterson. no comments

After last week's 21-10-1 record against the spread(there was no line or over/under for the Alcorn State at Mississippi State), I thought I would give it another shot with a new twist.  I will pick all of the SEC games as well as high profile games from around the country with at least one from each BCS conference. For on eof the games from around the country, I have decided to add a new feature called the "Are You Kidding Me? Game of the Week", where I will give a little insight into a completely meaningless game with mostly irrelevant teams.  This offers me a chance to study two teams that I would otherwise never look into.
