Week 13 SEC Power Poll Ballot: Giving the 'Dawgs Their Due
On a delightful Thanksgiving weekend hallmarked by shows of dominance by top teams and careless errors made by me in bunches, the Southeastern Conference concluded its regular season schedule, bringing us nearer to closing out the data set from which the final SEC Power Poll will be derived....
It Has To Be Next Year
First thing's first: congratulations to Kentucky. How it happened or the records of the teams involved are always less important than the end result, and today the Cats got the one they've been waiting for. This is their day and there's nothing we can or should say to keep them from enjoying...

Week 12 SEC Power Poll Ballot: Raise Your Hand If You've Won Your Division
It was, to put it mildly, an interesting weekend of SEC football, which clarified the picture only slightly. The Eastern Division crowned a champion, but we are still waiting for one of those Western Division weaklings to show enough gumption to step up to the plate and win the darned thing...

What's Wrong With Tennessee Football Has Nothing To Do With Derek Dooley
Let's pretend Lane Kiffin never happened. See, you're feeling better about this post already. Let's pretend Phillip Fulmer kept his job following the 2008 season, turned in the exact same 7-6 record Kiffin had in 2009, and was then replaced by Derek Dooley. It's easy, and sometimes fun, to blame...
Alabama 37 Tennessee 6 - When The Levee Breaks
There is nothing good about any loss to Alabama, especially not the second consecutive 31 point beating. It was almost exactly the same thing that happened last year, when the Vols trailed 13-10 at halftime and then got destroyed by big plays in the second half. The difference this time was the...

Tennessee at Alabama Preview - Survive & Surprise
We've seen several different views on this matchup this week, from the insanely optimistic to the depressingly realistic.
