Johnny Manziel just gave the BDS crowd the finger, then hit the Heisman pose, then yelled something that included a "suck my dick"

I am once again asking you to read a long and self-indulgent (but ultimately good I think) story about Vanderbilt and Nashville and Clark Lea

One big keyis to find a QB who is crazy (complimentary) and refuses to enter the workforce

Great anecdote about what it used to be like for Vanderbilt in its own city, even when things were going good. Many thanks to the homie @bradengall.bsky.social

hearing this from more and more people of taste!

Spent the week in my hometown for this one. Lots of fun stuff in here, from Clark Lea explaining why he tried to make a clean break from Vanderbilt's history, to a bar manager explaining how a wing wars promotion shows the Commodores making more local impact than ever

Vanderbilt's win over Alabama last year woke the nation up. It got Nashville onboard with the team like never before. But Clark Lea's rebuild of a program nobody else believed in was underway years before. "This is about finding a program’s potential.” www.al.com/sec/2025/10/...

alternate caption: I'd have expected Lane to get crabs named after him first, but good for Nick

Win six national championships somewhere and maybe they'll name a crab after you too www.al.com/alabamafootb...

News: Spitting incidents from games a few weeks ago, including Florida-USF, led Greg Sankey to send a memo to SEC ADs reiterating conference policies on spitting "...engage with players to avoid any and all instances of spitting on an opponent.” www.al.com/sec/2025/10/...

News: obtained an email from the SEC explaining to schools how Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss didn't break availability reporting rules with their handling of Austin Simmons before Arkansas game www.al.com/sec/2025/10/...

Beat writer away game trip goat track tour continues. First time playing since before the FSU game due to a sore back. Pine Hills Golf Club in Winder, Ga. Wound up with an 89 I was pretty happy with given the circumstances. Some questionable design choices, but overall worth $40 for 18 with cart

still flabbergasted at this

Absolutely dying at this coachspeak quote from Dilfer Again, the product here is, among other things, non-prescription boner pills

As if UAB wasn't already one of the weirdest programs in CFB, its tight ends are now apparently selling dick pills under the brand name "Miso Horny"?!?! And they're trying to get their teammates using their supplements?!?

Nick Saban once publicly pushed to get LSU taken off Alabama's yearly schedule. After the Tide drew Mississippi State as an annual opponent instead, Kalen DeBoer said he didn't do the same www.al.com/alabamafootb...

"This was to send a message to the playoff committee" they literally waited until they had successfully complained/ threatened the playoff committee into changing its strength of schedule criteria before they moved to nine games

interesting that every sec network analyst loves how the sec has set the schedule up, love independent journalism

here, damn www.al.com/alabamafootb...

SEC puts Alabama vs. LSU and Tennessee vs. Florida in the intro montage of its schedule reveal show despite moving those games into non-yearly status moving forward (I am watching this stupid show so you can read about it instead of wasting an hour)

cracking open hogville dot net to experience some culture

perhaps it's actually a good thing for your coach to be an extreme golf sicko, will watch auburn-oklahoma to further test this hypothesis

Took me until just now to clock that we've got a battle of the gas station ads on Gundy and Lamb's headsets

was so sure we were going to make it all the way to the first playoff rankings announcement without another dumbass tv special that should have been an instagram graphic

everybody please be nice to tyler buchner, genuinely one of my favorite interview subjects ever

asking for your forgiveness in advance: notre dame-texas a&m was always bound to be a Cult Classic

If I were a quarterback I would simply not throw the ball directly to bray hubbard, but maybe I'm just built different

No Thunderstruck out of the tunnel for Alabama today. Crimson Tide ran out during the hype video

Asked Greg Sankey about the push from a Texas Tech booster to amend the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961 to allow conferences to pool their TV rights “I’m happy to have conversations. But it doesn’t seem that the numbers are consistent with reality..." www.al.com/sec/2025/09/...

Postscript on Alabama-ULM features two major points -Crimson Tide did absolutely every positive thing that it could after a horrible week - Yes, it was ULM, Bama will need to prove it again vs. a good team. Unclear whether Wisconsin is a good team. www.al.com/alabamafootb...

Not to add insult to injury but based on this very serious offseason research I did, Florida not only lost yesterday's game vs. USF, it also dropped the Butch Jones Championship of Life to the Bulls www.al.com/sec/2025/07/...

kenny dillingham should have had his team stay at the red roof inn that shares a parking lot with dave's dark horse tavern, perhaps the sec's best dive bar

still can't believe that I talked my way into being a national horse racing reporter at age 22 without having ever attended a horse race, placed a bet on a horse race or watched a non Triple Crown or Breeders Cup horse race. Turned out to be decent at it too, being qualified is a scam

Five years since the weirdest thing I've ever covered

The Beef Index returns for Year 3. Once again, I put every offensive lineman in the SEC into a spreadsheet with their weights, then did the math three different ways to explain which team has the heaviest line in the league www.al.com/alabamafootb...
