Clemson is a great team and I doubt anyone really believes they are scared of Bama. I’ve seen some fans on here, however, claiming Clemson’s schedule is superior to Bama’s. I will show you the absurdity of that claim with these facts. Keep in mind that FCS opponents were not included in the stats for Clemson or for Bama. Clemson’s opponents had an overall record of 92-73…

Say what you will about Richt, but he deserved better than a firing. The man did more for Georgia than anyone not named Herschel Walker, and for him to not even get the Frank Beamer or Les Miles treatment is a disgrace to the University of Georgia.

“I will say this, if and…

Some folks might say Will Muschamp was too involved offensively at Florida.

That might explain why the Gators struggled moving the ball and scoring points during his final two seasons there.

Anyway, Auburn’s new defensive coordinator said he “should have been’…

A step-by-step guide to wholesome heckling

Everyone has heard the guy at the sports game bellowing, YOU SUCK!” at the player closest to them. A heckleris a person who shouts a disparaging comment at a performance or event with intent to disturb  its performers or participants. Heckling has been around since the citizens of Rome pointed their fickle thumbs to the ground, telling their gladiators it was time for “sudden death.” The English…
