SEC Coverage

The cancellation fee for the 2013 and 2014 rivalry renewals just went up to $3,000,000. I'd say both athletic directors are pretty serious when they say these games are going to happen. Go 'Dawgs!

What is it with the Bulldogs always welcoming new teams to the SEC on the road? Next year, the Georgia men's tennis team opens the conference schedule by hosting Tennessee, too. (Hat tip: Team Speed Kills.) Go 'Dawgs!

While Gamecock fans are not pleased with what this means for their team, the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry appears to have been saved. Go 'Dawgs!

Florida sources say the Gators are interested in preserving their yearly series with LSU. That feared 10-4 vote may be a 9-5 vote, or more likely even an 8-6 vote (since new Eastern Division member Missouri wants to play new Western Division member Texas A&M every autumn), which would mean skilled athletic directors Greg McGarity and Jeremy Foley only need to bring along two more votes. Stay tuned. . . . Go 'Dawgs!

Preserving the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry is his top priority, but, if need be, he is open to discussing a nine-game SEC schedule. Go 'Dawgs!

Not only are they beating the slop out of an ACC team, but their mascot broke a bowl championship trophy, Orson Charles-style. Welcome! Go 'Dawgs!

Ten teams will now be invited to Hoover, as a result of the league's increase from twelve to 14 teams. We're still awaiting word on the reworked 2012 SEC football schedule. Go 'Dawgs!

I was lukewarm on this until McMurphy came out and said it. He's been the only guy to follow throughout this whole mess. Oh, and somebody wake up Marinatto and let him know. This is kind of important.

Personally, my stance on SEC realignment at this point is, "Just roast the turkey, don't tell me how the bird grew up," but this is breaking news, and C&F, as always, is all over the latest over at Team Speed Kills. I don't welcome this move, but it's looked likely for a while that this was where expansion was headed, so we have to make the most of it. However, Mike Slive is going to have to show me a press conference before I believe SEC football is coming to the Show Me State. Go 'Dawgs!

I don't care who you are, this is funny! Go 'Dawgs!
