From al.com by Ben Flanagan. If ever you’ve turned the dial to Paul Finebaum’s daily sports talk radio show, the name “Shane from Centerpoint” means something to you. Whether you gritted your teeth at his outright homer-ism for his beloved Crimson Tide or you pumped your fist as he pridefully hassled national media members who appeared on the show, Shane got a daily rise out of regular listeners. Finebaum becomes a daily fixture for so many who live and breathe college football in the South, and so do his eccentric cast of callers. Some might say [Comment or Read the Rest...]

SEC TO STAY AT 13? The ongoing debate continues whether the Southeastern Conference will pause and continue to stay at 13 teams for the 2012 season. Texas A & M’s President Loftin said in an interview today that he doesn’t “think it’s likely to see another team join SEC and move by July 2012.” Meanwhile, The West Viginia Gazette reported this morning that Nick Saban “has been squarely in the corner of West Virginia, rather than Missouri” and that Vanderbilt prefers Missouri because of “academic reputations”. Today we’ll discuss the potential for another SEC member [Comment or Read the Rest...]

THE SAD SAGA OF HARVEY UPDYKE- In Finebaum’s latest column on SI.com, Paul details the unfortunate situations that have surrounded ‘Al from Dadeville’. Finebaum says, “Let’s learn from Harvey Almorn Updyke Jr.’s mistake and allow this to be a teachable moment… But throwing him in jail will only make some people feel better for a brief moment. I say enough of the attacks and the calls for jail time for vengeance to right the wrong. It is time to get past this human tragedy.” We’ll discuss the latest column and hear from CBS Sports’ Bruce [Comment or Read the Rest...]

ANOTHER SHOOTOUT COMING? Last year, Arkansas and Auburn racked up 108 points on the Plains. It was a coming out party for Cam Newton as the future Heisman Trophy winner ran for 188 yards- threw for 3 touchdowns and accounted for 328 of Auburn’s 470 yards of offense. This year, both teams have new quarterbacks but the high octane offense by Gus Malzahn and Bobby Petrino promise to provide another exciting tilt in Fayetteville. Today, we’ll preview the Tiger’s visit to Arkansas- plus talk with CBS Sports’ Gary Danielson and former Alabama QB Greg McElroy.

MIZZOU TO SEC? The Kansas City Star is reporting today that The Southeastern Conference has an offer on the table for Missouri to join its league, and SEC officials are willing to wait for an answer from Missouri until the future of the Big 12 is decided. Considering the threat of legal action against Texas A&M and the SEC raised by Baylor, Missouri and the SEC would prefer to keep an offer to MU under wraps until the Big 12 actually ceases to be a viable entity.

Never To Yield Foundation: Dear Paul Finebaum, We Don’t Love You…

From NeverToYieldFoundation.com. Dear Paul Finebaum: We don’t love you anymore. Okay, just to be clear we never really loved you in the first place. But we tolerated you. We took your jibes. We laughed when you drove a tractor to Auburn. We snickered along with your relentless campaigns against Mike DuBose, Mike Price and Mike Shula. We accepted and understood that you were a shameless self-promoter and we knew you’d do just about anything that didn’t involve juggling live kittens or full frontal nudity (thank God) to increase your presence. No, we didn’t like it [Comment or Read the Rest...]

Mark Richt Is A Great Guy; That Doesn't Mean He Should Keep His Job

From  SportsIllustrated.cnn.com by Paul Finebaum. Several years ago I did something no self-respecting, middle-aged man should ever have to do in the glacial dead of winter: I went to a breakfast meeting at 6 am. More than 500 people filled a downtown building in Birmingham, while another 250 people were in an overflow room watching on closed circuit television. We were all there to hear Mark Richt, the head coach of the Georgia Bulldogs, who were the preseason favorite to win the 2008 national championship. Richt’s talk was brilliant, weaving Old Testament passages with humorous tales [Comment or Read the Rest...]

LONGHORNS MOVING EAST? The latest in the possible conference realignment musical chairs suggests Texas could look to the ACC instead of the Pac 12. The Texas Rivals site, Orangebloods.com, report that Texas is looking at a potential partnership with the Atlantic Coast Conference. In all likelihood Texas could retain the Longhorn Network and its revenue ($15 million per year for 20 years) by going to the ACC, something the Pac-12 would be unwilling to consider. “Texas is trying to convince Oklahoma and Oklahoma State to look east (ACC) – not west (Pac-12).

“When Texas A&M joins our conference, we don’t have immediate plans for a 14th member….” Those were the comments yesterday from SEC Commissioner Mike Slive. Slive said the SEC remains “optimistic” Texas A&M will become a member and the league has started to look at schedules for 2012-13 involving 13 teams. “We aren’t thinking in terms of numbers. We think about the strength of the SEC and the attractiveness of Texas A&M as an institution.” Last week, the SEC voted to accept A&M provided the school wasn’t entangled in legal issues from other Big 12 [Comment or Read the Rest...]

Auburn Fans Fear Paul Finebaum; Bunker Wants Finebaum Banned From Auburn Games

From CapstoneReport.com. The South’s most influential media voice has Auburn fans in a tizzy. Paul Finebaum, host of the Paul Finebaum Radio Network and a Sports Illustrated columnist, attended the Auburn-Mississippi State game. Auburn fans in a typical display of SEC hospitality heckled Finebaum. At least the verbal abuse was better than Finebaum’s trip to Auburn in 2009—a trip that resulted in an Auburn fan spitting on Finebaum and two coaches’ wives verbally accosting Finebaum following Auburn’s home loss. (See more on that confrontation here.) The real story came after the game. Auburn fans on [Comment or Read the Rest...]

AUBURN SURVIVES AGAIN- Auburn’s Ryan Smith stopped Miss State’s Chris Relf on the goal line Saturday to preserve Auburn’s 41-34 win over the Bulldogs. Relf kept the ball on an option and headed for the end zone before Smith went low and brought the 240-pound quarterback down for the Tigers (2-0, 1-0 Southeastern Conference), who had gone from defending national champions to unranked underdog after needing a furious rally to beat Utah State. We’ll talk to former Auburn HC Pat Dye this afternoon and the Tuscaloosa News’ Cecil Hurt.

Penn State Football: Noted Columnist Finebaum Says Joe Paterno Should Retire

From BleacherReport.com by Kevin McGuire. There are sports writers from coast to coast who have a certain column they write on an annual basis about Philadelphia sports fans. Every time the playoff season rolls around, it does not matter the sport, these writers load up the document they originally crafted in 1995 and update a couple key names to make it read a little more current. You know the events they drag into the picture. The booing of Santa. Throwing batteries at J.D. Drew. Booing Donovan McNabb at the NFL draft. These individual events have been [Comment or Read the Rest...]
