7 days ago by Olin Buchanan
In last week's loss to South Florida, a Florida Gator literally spit the bit to set up the game-deciding field goal that caused Billy Napier's squad to tumble out of the AP top 25. With a murderer's row ahead, it might be time for those in Gainesville to put Napier out to pasture.

14 days ago by Olin Buchanan
After a 31-17 loss to Florida State in Week 1, Alabama fans (and even some donors) are beginning to call for Kalen DeBoer's ouster. With a $70 million buyout likely required to make that happen, it seems that the Crimson Tide faithful are just acting like angry, spoiled children.

10 mo ago by Olin Buchanan
Entering 2024, Florida's Billy Napier and Arkansas' Sam Pittman appeared to be the "favorites" among SEC coaches most likely to lose their jobs. As the calendar changes to November, the new favorite appears to be Mark Stoops, but even his firing seems like a longshot.

Starkville has been a problem for the Aggies. Promising seasons have frequently been derailed to the sound of cowbells despite A&M being the superior team. On Saturday, Mike Elko & Co. have the chance to ring in success rather than disappointment at Davis Wade Stadium.

For the first time since 2007, Alabama, now under the direction of Kalen DeBoer, is rated a two-point underdog at Bryant-Denny Stadium as the No. 2 Bulldogs (topdogs?) roll into Tuscaloosa. Quite the stiff test for DeBoer in his Southeastern Conference debut.

SEC Round-Up: Can Vanderbilt capture its elusive third straight win?
1 yr ago by Olin Buchanan
Vanderbilt has the opportunity to achieve it's third consecutive win for the first time since 2017 against Georgia State. Defeating a Sun Belt Conference foe may not mean much for most (if not all) SEC schools, though for the Commodores, it'd be a welcomed sign of improvement.
