Latest HeadlinesPhysical Tide still in the Gators' wayThursday, Nov. 20, 2008COLUMBIA — Why even go to Atlanta? Why have Florida and Alabama play for the Southeastern Conference title? Florida's already won it, right? The Gators have already advanced to the BCS national championship game, with a chance to win their second national title in three years. Correct? Read story. Tuberville deserves betterThursday, Nov. 13, 2008COLUMBIA — Tommy Tuberville deserves better than this. But Tuberville might have to leave Auburn to get better than this. Read story. Return of Satan, um, SabanThursday, Nov. 6, 2008COLUMBIA — A little more than a year ago, when South Carolina played at LSU, a T-shirt caught my eye as I waded through traffic to the media parking lot. Read story. SEC no longer top-notch destination for coachesWednesday, Oct. 29, 2008COLUMBIA — The nation's preeminent agent for college football coaches said this week that the Southeastern Conference is no longer a destination for coaches looking to move. Why? It's just too tough right now. Read story. Heisman hype means very little in OctoberThursday, Oct. 23, 2008COLUMBIA — Have we learned nothing, football pundits of America? For one, I'm sick of hearing Heisman talk in October. It just doesn't matter. It doesn't. I appreciate the history of the Heisman trophy. I do. But it's just one award, and the players that win it don't necessarily go on to do great things in the NFL. Some do, most don't. Read story. Vols faithful fed up with FulmerThursday, Oct. 16, 2008COLUMBIA — With Election Day less than a month away, perhaps Tennessee's administration should settle Phillip Fulmer's fate democratically. The Knoxville newspaper's Web site this week poses this question of Fulmer, coach of the slumping 2-4 Volunteers: "With it being a presidential election year, would you re-elect Phillip Fulmer to coach the Vols?" (No, impeachment wasn't an option.) The results won't greatly surprise you. They didn't this reporter. But it tells you about the state of things in East Tennessee. As of 5 p.m. Wednesday, 79 percent (11,079 people) voted no, that they would bounce Fulmer out of "office." Read story. SEC: West is best … or is it still East?Thursday, Oct. 2, 2008COLUMBIA — Everyone's always interested in that age-old (and pointless) debate of the country's best conference. How about which SEC division is tops? Read story. How Vanderbilt winning not exactly a real shockerThursday, Sept. 25, 2008COLUMBIA — Vanderbilt is winning football games. Shocker. Vanderbilt is winning football games with its aptitude. Not so shocking. The Commodores are dead last — 12th out of 12 — in the SEC in total offense (282.2 yards a game) and total defense (364.2). But there the Dores are, 4-0 and 2-0 in the league. Read story. Conference's defenses get upper hand on offensesThursday, Sept. 18, 2008When exactly did the SEC turn into the Big Ten? No sooner had the scribes here Saturday put the finishing touches on our reports from Georgia's slobber-knocking 14-7 victory against South Carolina than we looked up to see a 3-2 — yes, three-to-two — nail-biter between Auburn and Mississippi State. Read story. LSU ready to get back to routineThursday, Sept. 11, 2008COLUMBIA — Things are finally getting back to normal at Louisiana State. The school decided Wednesday that Hurricane Ike is moving far enough west that Saturday's game against North Texas will be played, as planned, at LSU's Tiger Stadium — even if coach Les Miles kept calling it Texas Stadium. Read story. Storm ravages Atlanta, but SEC games go onSunday, March 16, 2008ATLANTA - Atop a 12-story downtown parking garage, the wind is still blowing. Read story. Taking a look back at the best in SEC this seasonWednesday, March 12, 2008ATLANTA — Man, where did this college basketball season go? Feels like we just got started, and already it's time for March's dancing — and spring football. Can't turn back time, so let's hand out some postseason hardware. Metaphorical, of course. Times are tough and all that. ... Read story. Volunteers rescuing SEC's basketball reputationWednesday, Feb. 27, 2008COLUMBIA — Wouldn't it be some kind of irony if Tennessee, somehow, managed to dance to a national title next month? A league that's been beat up for being one on the way south would lock up three consecutive NCAA championships. What a punch in the gut to the ACC or any other conferen... Read story. SEC loses some ground in battle for NCAA bidsSEC LeadersWednesday, Feb. 20, 2008COLUMBIA — How did "the bubble" become the sole defining metaphor of a team in danger of missing the NCAA Tournament? It doesn't even make much sense when you get right down to it. A bubble? C'mon. How about "the fence?" Let's bring back "the fence" to describe such teams. The... Read story. How SEC coaching carousel spins will affect USCWednesday, Feb. 13, 2008COLUMBIA — John Brady is out at LSU. And it's possible, and maybe even likely, that he's the first (or second, depending how you look at it, in respect to Dave Odom) coaching domino to fall in the Southeastern Conference. In fact, by the end of the year, a third of the league's 12 institutions could be looking for a new hoops coach. ... Read story. Newer stories | Older stories |
