Big 12 head is taking the wrong approach
Big 12 head is taking the wrong approach For an institution that is in the throes of life support, the Big 12 Conference is exhibiting rather curious survival behavior.

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. It was motivation for the offseason program, for voluntary workouts, for the season. The Crimson Tide’s reward was a perfect 14-0 season and a national championship. A year later, the…

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.

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.
