The Complete 2011-12 SEC Coaching Carousel Scorecard
With Auburn's naming Scot Loeffler as the Tiger's new offensive coordinator on Sunday, the 2011-12 SEC Coaching Carousel has finally come to a stop. The grotesque carnival of innuendo and speculation that began on Nov. 7 with Ole Miss firing Houston Nutt has finally reached its conclusion. Yes,...

Lack of New Head Coach Highlights Ole Miss' Leadership Vacuum
There is debate around college football over whether coaches should be fired mid-season. I've seen plenty of people, usually media members for some reason, argue vehemently against canning a coach early. Usually the complaints revolve around it being unfair to the players, not accomplishing...

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...

Year2's Week 5 Picks
Last Week: 6-1 straight up, 3-3 against the spread Season: 28-8 straight up, 12-14-1 against the spread Mississippi State (+7) over Georgia 33-30 I think Mississippi State's offense is a bad matchup for Georgia, so I'm picking the western Bulldogs even though this one is in Athens. Texas A&M...
