I'm not going to judge CKD until he's coached regular season games but it is weird hearing him talk about having championships as goals after almost two decades of The Process. I think I've finally reached the acceptance phase of the grief process. I think we can all agree that the top three or four of the conference has a great chance of making the 12 team field. I hope we can turn the expanded playoffs into the SEC invitational.

LSU may suffer from Harbaugh's NFL asperations. I've heard more than one source say that Kelly is on UM's short list of candidates to replace Khaki Pants if he jumps back to the NFL. Kelly is a MidWest guy and would probably give serious consideration to the Michigan job. If he jumped, that opens the portal to all of the LSU players just like what we've been going through in Tuscaloosa. I'm not trying to hate on LSU or say that Kelly would definitely jump to Ann Arbor, but it is a possible scenario that could happen. If it does, I feel for the LSU fanbase. I know you guys felt like you had a long term winner in Kelly and I hope he stays if y'all want him to.

Until Milroe can make faster reads and consistently hit his intermediate throws, he's probably reached his ceiling. I could be completely wrong ( I thought Blake Barnette was going to be a great QB. Boy was I wrong! ) but I think Sayin is Bama's best bet going forward. Hopefully either Sayin is a total stud and wins the job in the spring or Milroe has a 2019 Hurts like improvement over the offseason.

This is a case of addition by subtraction. Wish him luck.

I think Kirby thought he could get more pressure from his DL than what they were able to generate. Georgia and Bama both thrive best when they're able to pressure the offense with their down linemen and leave the ILBs to wreak havoc. Still, I would have thought one spy would have been enough and used the other guy to bring more pressure once they saw they weren't getting the push they were expecting.

^This^ It gives the coaching staff more time to develop the underclassmen and if AU has any early enrollees, they can participate in the bowl practices. It's like getting in an extra spring practice.

I hope Daniels wins. The kid was so much fun to watch this year. I'm afraid that the national media agenda of Penix vs Nix will keep him from winning but Daniels is the best of the finalists hands down.

Good Luck to all of our SEC bowl teams. I hope we put it to the B1G, ACC, and Big 12. It would be awesome if the SEC went undefeated and won a natty to boot.

Imagine how the aTm fanbase feels. It's probably two hours by Greyhound from College Station to Houston. I hope the players get some good swag bags from the bowl and happy memories from a bowl win. Some of the fans may not go to Houston until the day of the game.

As always, I'll be pulling for SEC dominance this bowl season. I hope the Dawgs make the game against FSU a laugher!

No surprise that Daniels was invited or that Milroe wasn't. As proud as I am of the improvements that Milroe has made over the course of this season, he's not the best player in the nation. Not trying to hate on LSU, but their record will hamstring Daniels. I think he should win it but I think the national sports media has been trying to crown Penix or Nix for over half of the season so I fully expect Penix to win. Sad for Daniels. That kid is fun to watch.

I hate giving props to AU but they totally got hosed that year. They would have skull drug OU and probably beat USC. They were big, fast, and nasty on defense and solid on offense.

And Reichard became the all time NCAA points leader. Either surpasses McPherson.

Go Army! Beat Navy!

Man, the h e l l with SDS. While I enjoy the interaction with fans of all the schools, I’m sooooo tired of the hacks that call themselves journalists. They either plagiarize other websites or retread the same tired c r a p. “Fans are upset with Gary Danielson!” I’d encourage all SEC fans to look at SB Nation and find their team’s page. It’s much better than the drivel you’ll find here. Good luck to everyone next season! I love SEC football but I’m done with this site. Oh, and Negan. I know you do your trolling in fun but you can do it without writing a novel each time.

I’m confused. Are we a basketball or women’s soccer school now?

Those who have been fortunate enough to meet Eli in person know what a caring and genuinely good person he is. He’s never brushed off a fan interaction and has a genuine love for the program and the state of Alabama.

BOB should already be packing. His contract is up and New England will be looking for a new OC. He’s surely going back to the NFL. We’re probably stuck with Petey. I think he’s Coach’s pet project. Milroe could probably play for a G5/FCS program but I don’t see him being the starter either.

A coach’s son. High football IQ. Not as mobile as Milroe but is a more polished passer. Kind of like Hirts and Tua in ‘17. Milroe thinks more “run” and Simpson thinks more “pass”. Jalen had more experience in the offense this year so he got the nod to back up Bryce but most expect Simpson to be QB1 heading into Fall camp. So who’s going to replace Bennet next season?

It’s not real hate. I don’t wish bad things on the LSU program or fan base. I used to be so wrapped up in Bama that I would throw up before every game. I ended up in the ER with chest pain after Bama lost to UCF on homecoming. I realized that it was ridiculous. Now it’s all in good fun. I still want Bama to win but have a much better perspective about it. Seriously, congratulations on a great season and a dominating bowl win.

Largest margin of victory in a bowl in program history. Well done, Tigers! Way to represent the conference! Okay, Bowl season is over. We can get back to hating one another now!

Hail State! Congratulations on a nice win. Great way to honor the Pirate and represent the conference.

I'm a lifelong Bama fan but I live about the same distance from both Tuscaloosa and Starkville so I tend to pull for State when we're not playing them. Swing your swords, Bulldogs! Hail State!

So if it was Coach Bowlcut then he would be whining? I doubt you would have the same opinion. GFY mouth breather.

What do you want him to say? We shouldn’t be there but other teams should? What kind of message does that send to the locker room? He’s not paid to be impartial, he’s paid to do the best he can for his team.

I was hoping y’all would beat Iowa. Still, Yall had a good year. Stoops will have you back next year.

Nice to see y’all beat Clemson! Congratulations on a great season.

Thanks boxster. Hope y’all beat the h e l l out of OSU.

That was a year before I was born. Thanks for making me feel young for a minute!

TDOW, the whole SEC had a good bowl season that year. I think the only team that lost was MSU in the Peach. One of the first times I recall hearing the SEC! chants on TV.
