The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy of SEC Football Dominance–Three Reasons Why We Rule College Football

The SEC is the best conference in college football. It’s almost a cliche. Nearly as hackneyed as the statement itself might be the contentions not only of those who argue this, but also those who attempt to explain it. And in my opinion, many of the football philosophers addressing the latter tend to miss the […]

100 Days of SEC Dominance: Day 78 – The SEC Never misses a Day

I didn’t post in this series yesterday.  So I guess I screwed up.  Or did I? Maybe I was making a point.  You see, unlike me the SEC never takes a day off.  The SEC hasn’t had a day without being the reining National Champion in 2,347 days.  I can’t even match that. That’s all […]

Fixing Kentucky Football in 3 Bourbon-Infused Steps

I’m admittedly stepping on DudeYouCrazy Chief Culture Correspondent Jennifer Rohner’s toes with this piece.  Fortunately she is a much better writer, so I don’t anticipate any confusion over the authorship of this article.  In any event, let’s pour one and get started. The State of Kentucky sits on some of the greatest natural resources SEC […]

Silencing the Critics: Shaw v. Thompson

Fellow Gamecocks, I am sure you have man crushes on these guys by now.  Speedster Shaw or Gunslinger Thompson?  That is the question on everyone’s mind.  Should we go with the guy who, in his career, is 300-of-449 for 3627 yards, 32 touchdowns, 15 interceptions, with 298 rushes for 1,125 yards and 11 touchdowns? Or […]

Betting on Amateurs: The Best Early Lines Each Week

On Sunday I briefly broke down the lines on the Georgia games for the 2013 season. I promised I’d come back and help you with your problem affliction hobby, so here I am. As a part-time college athletics employee, it is my civic duty to discourage gambling on college sports, so here’s a link to the gamblers’ […]

This Post is Graphic in Nature: Jadeveon Clowney will disappoint in 2013

Last week I told you that stud sophomores Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall would decline in production for the Georgia Bulldogs.  Those sentiments were not contrived, they were genuine (although I will repeat: I hope everything that I wrote turns out to be wrong).  But, I did strategically debut this series with that article so […]

100 Days of SEC Dominance: Day 80 – The SEC and America’s Pastime

We all know that the SEC dominates college football.  But what about other facets of life? It is said that Baseball is America’s pastime.  I would assert that watching TV is America’s pastime, but that’s beside the point. The point is that in the collegiate baseball ranks, four of the sixteen teams participating in Super […]

100 Days of SEC Dominance: Day 81 – The SEC’s Draft Record

The SEC’s unprecedented 2013 NFL Draft numbers surpassed the previous record of 55 players selected by the Pac-10 in 1983.  Yes, the Pac-10 had fewer teams in 1983 than the SEC had in 2013, but the NFL Draft also had 81 more draft picks.   That’s all I got/ Andrew   For the rest of […]

In the 2013 NFL Draft 63 players were selected out of the SEC.  The SEC East had 32 players drafted while the SEC West had 31 players selected.  The second best conference – the ACC – had 31 players drafted.     That’s all I got/ Andrew     For the rest of the SEC […]
