SEC Banter: Welcoming the new guys
The nation's finest football conference welcomes two new schools in 2012. With the addition of Florida State and Clemson, the SEC opens its arms to two programs that might as well have been in the SEC from day one.
SEC Banter: Gazing into the SEC West crystal ball
A major perk of SEC Banter is the crystal ball that predicts the fate of Southeastern Conference teams. You'd be amazed at its accuracy. With SEC football just around the corner, let's stare into the crystal ball and learn how the teams from the SEC Western Division - home of college football's national champions in four of the past five years - will fare this year.
SEC Banter: East is Dogs' to lose
If you've watched the Olympics over the past few weeks, no doubt you've been inspired by the world's elite athletes laying it all on the line not just for Olympic glory, but for national pride and a permanent place in their country's sporting history. Packed stadiums, an international stage, and competition at the world's highest level.
Prevost: There's nothing quite like the Masters
In the classic 1989 film, Field of Dreams, one of the old ball players gazes out on that magical baseball diamond in the middle of corn fields and asks, "Is this heaven?" Kevin Costner replies simply, "It's Iowa."
Prevost: Expect LSU to come out on top again in rematch for national title
The BCS Championship Game finally - finally - takes place Monday night in the City That Care Forgot.
Prevost: Bowl season not what it used to be
Ahh, bowl season. Don't you love it? A handful of quality bowl games leading up to the traditional New Year's Day marathon feast of college football. Settle in with some black-eyed peas and cabbage, a few hair-of-the-dog frothy beverages, and watch your favorite teams cap off the college football season.
Prevost: Sizing up the SEC Championship game
For the third time in nine years, LSU and Georgia meet in Atlanta for the SEC Championship. The Tigers dominated the Dogs back in 2003 and Georgia returned the favor in 2005. What will happen in 2011, with LSU looking to cap its dominant run to the BCS title game and Georgia notching 10 wins in a row? We'll find out at 4 p.m Saturday in the Georgia Dome but, until then, let's take an ...
Prevost: Giving thanks for everything SEC
It's Thanksgiving and you know what that means. Plenty of turkey, your aunt's "famous" casserole that slightly grosses you out, and football.
Prevost: Some bold picks for a not-so-big weekend in the SEC
Serious Southeastern Conference football fans have had Saturday, Nov. 19 circled on their calendars.
Prevost: Time to test your SEC knowledge
OK class, it's time for an SEC pop quiz. Follow the directions closely. Using your Scantron form and a No. 2 pencil, fill in the bubble that corresponds with your answer. Be sure to press firmly and fill in the bubbles completely.
Prevost: Hype before LSU-Alabama game at all-time level
It's tough to live up to great expectations. Just ask the current occupant of the White House. Rarely are our greatest expectations met, which makes it all the more special when it actually happens.
Prevost: Spotlight on SEC East, sort of
You may have heard that college football's national championship game is on Nov. 5 in Tuscaloosa, when No. 1 LSU faces No. 2 Alabama. That's enough time for two full weeks of nonstop hype surrounding the two best teams in the country.
Prevost: Slinging arrows around the SEC
With six weeks left in the regular season, it's time to reflect on the teams of the finest conference in all of college football. A just-past-midseason assessment is appropriate given that most SEC teams are off this week - or they might as well be. Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Mississippi State are off. Alabama has the equivalent of an off week against Tennessee, as does Arkansas against the menacing Ole Miss Black Bears.
Prevost: Nighttime is the right time for SEC football
What time does your SEC team kickoff on Saturday? It's an important question that likely shapes your weekend. If your team plays in the 12:21 p.m. game, I'm sorry, but that game stinks. Blocking out three and a half hours in the middle of Saturday just doesn't work. You've got kids' soccer games, honey-do lists, running errands, and so forth. Not to mention the junior varsity level broadcast of the 12:21 kickoff. Seems like ...
Prevost: SEC fans prone to drastic behavior
We've got five weeks of college football under our belts. That's five weeks of tailgating at stadiums across the SEC, game parties at stately southern homes, and road trips from Texas to South Carolina and everywhere in between.
