Today we’ll discuss the potential for another SEC member [Comment or Read the Rest...]

Texas A&M Athletics' New Home In SEC Official

From TheEagle.com by Robert Cessna. Texas A&M is hopeful that good things come to those who wait. The Southeastern Conference officially became a 13-team league Sunday by giving the Aggies an unconditional offer. It replaces a conditional one the league had given A&M on Sept. 6, and possibly indicates that all legal hurdles have been cleared for A&M to peacefully leave the Big 12. A&M’s move is effective starting in July with the Aggies participating in all sports in the 2012-13 academic year. “We are excited to begin competition in the nation’s premier athletic conference,” Texas A&M [Comment or Read the Rest...]

Paul Finebaum: Even After Winning National Title, Cloud Still Hangs Over Auburn

From SportsIllustrated.cnn.com. Remember when the Auburn Tigers were the Chicago Cubs of college football? Lovable when they lost and tortured when they won. In 2004 it appeared Auburn might have the nation’s best team, finishing 14-0. Yet the Tigers were denied a shot at playing for the BCS title because USC and Oklahoma started the season Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, and neither lost (Auburn started at No. 17). Auburn fans were blue after finishing No. 2, but finally shrugged it off after a good cry, realizing this always happens when you haven’t won a [Comment or Read the Rest...]

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.
