The SEC Has To Have Less Cowbell
The SEC Has To Have Less Cowbell You may be surprised to find out this actually matters. Over the past decade, Mississippi State’s had the best homefield advantage in the SEC, winning eight more games at home than they did on the road.

Florida’s program built to endure
Florida’s program built to endure The 2008 SEC championship game loss to Florida was what drove the Alabama players as much as anything last year.

SEC should keep its foot on the clutch
SEC should keep its foot on the clutch If other big conferences expand, the SEC should be ready to make a move from 12 schools to 16.

Expansion isn’t as clear cut for SEC
Expansion isn’t as clear cut for SEC The one point on which I would expound is the one Jeremy made late in his article about the distribution of the league. SEC commissioner Mike Slive said that to us when we cornered him Thursday afternoon, and it forced a bit of a change in how I…

Stricklin, on cowbell compromise skeptics: “Let’s prove them all wrong”
Stricklin, on cowbell compromise skeptics: “Let’s prove them all wrong” Essentially, Stricklin acknowledges that the buy-in of the fan base is what will ultimately prove this successful or doom it to failure.

UM’s Pomeranz picked 5th overall by Indians
UM’s Pomeranz picked 5th overall by Indians “I’d like to end up in the big leagues in three years,” he said. “We’ll see how negotiations go.” Pomeranz, too, seems likely to forego college ball next season in exchange for a lucrative payday.

A word of caution for conferences wishing to expand
A word of caution for conferences wishing to expand There’s a terrific book by Barbara Tuchman entitled “The Guns of August,” a beautifully crafted piece on World War I that is, at its core, an essay on how the utter miscalculations of tactical planning dictated years of needless conflict. I mention this not as a…
