Year2's Week 13 Picks
Last Week: 7-1 straight up, 2-2 against the spread Season: 71-16 straight up, 38-32-1 against the spread These lines come from the pick 'em game, but as I composed this post on Tuesday, they may have changed in the interim. Whatever the final line is on Yahoo! is what will count towards the...
Who Should Ole Miss Prioritize: RichRod or Mike Leach?
I honestly don't have any good idea what direction the Ole Miss coaching search will go in. In 1998, the school hired the offensive coordinator from the soon-to-be national champions in David Cutcliffe. He helped get them Eli Manning and had a 10-win season, but he was fired after seven years....
What's Ailing Mississippi State?
Dan Mullen engineered quite the turnaround in Starkville, going 5-7 his first year and then jumping to 9-4 in his second. In this his third year, the momentum seems to be stalling out. The Bulldogs are a disappointing 2-3 on the season, with the wins coming over hapless Memphis and in overtime...

Mississippi State Has a Lot to Overcome Against LSU
Mississippi State endured a close loss when its last real chance to score died as a quarterback keeper was stopped a yard short of the end zone. True, that describes last week's excruciating loss to Auburn. However, it also describes the last time LSU and Mississippi State met in Starkville. Back...
Mississippi State 59, Memphis 14: Second Verse, Faster Than the First
Memphis is a bad football team, and Mississippi State took full advantage with its 59-14 win. The Bulldogs had 405 total yards at the half, had a school record 645 total yards on the game, and the 59 points were the most MSU has scored since putting 61 on Middle Tennessee in 2000. As best as I can...
Year2 Brand SEC Picks: 2011 Edition
See here for last year's picks and here for the evaluation of them. Timing is everything in college football. It's going to be a major theme of my picks this year, as there are some outcomes that I don't think make that much sense in any other light. Honestly, I don't really like this set of picks....

SEC Media Days 2011: Getting Under Houston Nutt's Skin, or How Dan Mullen Won Media Days
The problem with hecklers is that it's difficult to acknowledge them without letting them win. After all, the job of a heckler is to knock you off stride, get you off message -- make them the center of attention instead of you. For more than two years now, Dan Mullen has been heckling Houston Nutt...
Year2 Brand SEC Football Picks: 2010 Edition
I have to say, I found making this year's picks significantly more difficult than last year's, which I got 80.2% correct. I just feel like I had a better grasp on things a year ago than I do now. A lot of that has to do with the fact that I think more than half of the SEC will be better. Alabama...
