The SEC is "down" because some teams lost? Four different SEC teams - UF (2), LSU (1), AU (1), UA (5) - have won it all in last 13 years. UGA, LSU, AU played in title games and lost. No other conference can come close to that.

I dislike those kinds of stories immensely. If you're going to quote a coach's opinion about someone else, name him. If you're a coach and you won't say it publicly, keep your mouth shut.
Bo Nix is Auburn's starting quarterback. It's what I have expected from the start. He will be the first freshman QB in modern history to start a season-opener for Auburn.

Is there going to be any time in this process when Sankey actually exposes himself to questions other than from the friendly voices at the SEC Network? What a dog and pony show.
@DanWolken
Anyone trying to make a controversy out of that is either searching for a controversy where there isn't one or woefully uninformed. The question itself was uninformed, since the SEC did not fly or transport in any other way anyone to campus for summer workouts.
I don't care a lot about logo changes, but I wish Auburn would apply its "visual identity system" to its new and not improved press box. If the ball is past the 50 going the other way, forget about seeing anything.
One of my good buddies who went to Virginia for undergrad just texted me and said every UVA fan in the world will be rooting for the Crimson Tide moving forward against Auburn based on the reaction of Auburn fans over Twitter. I'm only relaying information here.
That we have our three main beat writers – Jason Caldwell, Nathan King and Christian Clemente - on the list of finalists for the National Media Association’s Sportswriter of the Year is testament to their hard work and is a remarkable achievement. Congratulations to them.

Three decades earlier he scored first

TD in a bowl game on 1/1/37 in Cuba.
@AuburnBaseball
Hitchcock Field is named in honor of “Mr. Billy.”
If they call that foul, they have the ball in the backcourt with 2-3 seconds left. For an official to look right at a double dribble that would have ended the game and do nothing is inexcusable any way you look at it.
@KevinScarbinsky
Appreciate your passion for basketball. There’s a photo on Twitter from another angle of an Auburn player grabbing the jersey of the UVa player in the double-dribble sequence. Assuming the photo is accurate, which non-call should Auburn fans be upset about most? It’s sports.
@DanWolken
Are we to the point now where everything is made for TV and judged by ratings? There is lots to like about men's basketball. It creates excitement on campuses. It is a fun game to watch. There is nothing flat or unappealing about it.
@MrCFB
Hey, Tony. Do you believe anybody on that committee really thought TCU was one of the four best teams in college football last season? Or Cincinnati before that?
