Kiffin to go to USC.

Kiffin to go to USC.

Are you surprised? I’m not. What in the world has told you that Lane Kiffin is anything but a man of low moral fiber. The multiple offseason controversies of last season? The fact that two of his hottest recruits rolled up on random people at a gas station for pocket change? Starting Jonathan Crompton?

That was cheap. I’m sorry.

Basically, what I’m saying is, the average football coach is nothing more than a politician. They want to keep the power of their fiefdom. And they will say and do anything to keep it. Until something better comes along.

And for Kiffykins? It was ol’ SC.

I know you’re angry. You have an absolute right to be. You lost a coach who’s actively trying to steal as many recruits as he can as he goes out the door. I don’t think you need to be burning cars? But we all feel sadness in different ways.

But you know what? There’s a way to solve the problem. You get a controversial coach. A coach who actually is a proven winner at a difficult place to play. A coach who has his own built in fanbase.

Who dare I suggest?

Colt McCoy the 4 year Texas starting QB runs into a little bit of trouble by the name of Alabama defensive lineman Marcell Dareus.

Texas was held to a field goal and Bama scored a TD. The score is now 24-6 going into the 3rd. Colt will not return. Texas had Bama on the ropes. This injury might be the biggest part of Bama getting, what they call, # 13.

Greg Muckelroy? An honest mistake Brent, Video

Greg Muckelroy? An honest mistake, Video. The Legend, Brent Musburger, called the BCS National Championship, and called Alabama’s starting QB Greg McElroy, Greg Muckelroy. It is an honest mistake because Texas has a defender named Roddrick Muckelroy.

You know he was embarrassed but it was an honest slip of the tongue.

Rick Brooks to Retire as Greatest Kentucky Football Coach Ever

Rick Brooks to Retire as Greatest Kentucky Football Coach Ever

Or: SEC ACTION NEWSBRIEF TWO! THE NEWSBRIEFENING!

Or at least the guy who made the single greatest run of “success” in Kentucky history. He brought them to four straight bowl games. Bear Bryant couldn’t do that, and Bear Bryant once killed a Bear with nothing more than his fedora. And this year just might have pulled out his greatest trick. He won this year with little more than luck, pluck, and Randall Cobb. 

It’s true.  I checked.

I will miss Rich Brooks, and I hope you do too.

SEC ACTION NEWSBRIEF!

SEC ACTION NEWSBRIEF!

Mississippi State may have shocked people with a 5-7 season last year, but Dan Mullen’s latest commitment is a forward thinking move to shore up a real weakness. See, the Bulldogs may have been gritty. They may have been gutsy. But they were lacking in people having fun out there.

Enter one Dylan Favre. A nephew of you know who. He promises to be a gunslinger. The one thing Dan Mullen is truly missing. And I for one welcome my new SEC overlord.

THAT’S SUPPOSED TO SAY HAIL FAVRE!

Alabama vs. Texas, BCS Championship Prediction Pick

Alabama vs. Texas, BCS Championship Prediction Pick

It’s not the championship that we wanted. But it’s the championship we’ve got. Alabama looks to be a favorite. And in some aspects, there is a reason to believe the favorite will roll up on the underdog and fake them wish they were back in the House of Spears. But will they? I’ll tell you.

First of all, like Virginia Tech and Tennessee, this vibe is that of something hard-hitting and defensive. You have two of the top defenses in the country. You have two of the top offensive skill players in the country. The storylines are easy.

But the problem? Alabama has this tendency to find their way into tamping down the games of the opposing teams quarterback with their strong style. The Cody-McClain-Arenas triumverate locks it down on all three levels. And Texas has an offensive line that’s willing to let a defense pressure them. Nebraska almost beat them without an offense. Alabama’s defense is just as beastly.

But that being said? Mark Ingram’s not going to have an easy day either. Texas is the best defense in the country against the run. He’ll be decent. But if they’re expecting him to win the game for them. There will be issues. Concerns as well. Greg McElroy has to contribute something if they want to get the National Championship. They can’t bog down in the Red Zone if they want to beat Texas,

This is going to be the sort of game that seems like it will be borderline unwatchable. Both teams are built to stop the offensive skill position superstud. Alabama is going to generate pressure. Texas is going to run-stuff. And it’s going to be dirty and ugly and punch you in the face football.As for me? I don’t trust Texas doing enough to win. Alabama 16, Texas 13.  

Splashdown to a National Championship in 3…2…1…
