Coach Brooks’ comments on this week’s edition of the SEC Teleconference: “Coming off of a pretty bad loss last weekend. We have a lot of work to do. Alabama is as good as Florida. We just have a lot of work to do. Offensively we weren’t able to generate any against Florida and Alabama’s defense [...]

You would think that by Week 4 of the season, making a ballot would be exceptionally easy. There’s 4 weekends of data to pull from, tangible results, and most everyone by now has played at least one decent to semi-respectable opponent. The problem with that is that’s basing an awful lot on one particular opponent [...]

It’s a rarity to find a fanbase that’s welcoming. It’s a rarity to find one that’s friendly beyond belief, helpful beyond normal, and just genuinely nice folks. After a weekend in Auburn, I can safely say that if you want to experience rarity for yourself, a game weekend on The Plains is where you need [...]

Better late than never, certainly, and the lack of which is making me reconsider heading to a distant road game in the future. On one hand, we have the delayed posting, the inability to get stuff done while traveling, etc. On the other, it’s southern barbecue, southern beauties, and maybe some of the nicest people [...]

The obviousness of that headline will come as no surprise to anyone who follows college football even a little bit. Florida is the defending national champions, returning a staunch defense and a QB that garners almost as much attention nationally as a naked Erin Andrews. That’s impressive.
