The following is a sponsored post from TiqIQ.
Another wild week in the SEC was capped on Monday when South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier announced his retirement. The Head Ball Coach leaves the world of college football with a 228-89-2 record that also included stints at Duke and Florida.
Gator Nation was dealt a harsh blow with the indefinite suspension of quarterback Will Grier while Georgia’s star running back Nick Chubb will undergo knee surgery after absorbing a gruesome injury against Tennessee Saturday. Ole Miss has been without big-name offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil all season as the investigation continues in his alleged receiving of improper benefits from the school.
Attention now shifts to Week 8, where premier SEC games will be held between Florida and LSU, and Alabama and Texas A&M. The Aggies, Gators and Tigers all look to hold onto their unbeaten records and Top 10 positioning on the AP Top 25 Poll.
Such big games will make the party that much more memorable at Kyle Field and Tiger Stadium this Saturday. Fans looking to bring their tailgate to the next level can find the essentials – and some other rarities – at TailgateGiant.com. From cornhole boards to grilling equipment and team-centric flags, get everything you need to get your team the W this weekend. Tailgate Giant is even running a free cornhole boards giveaway to fans this month, giving the winner his/her choice at which set they’d like.
Of course, with a spirited tailgate comes big ticket prices, and those looking to attend either SEC game Saturday will be paying up on the secondary market. Down in Baton Rouge, LSU vs Florida football tickets are averaging $351.98 and the get-in price is $133. According to TiqIQ, the average price for Texas A&M vs Alabama tickets is $291.66 and the cheapest ticket is listed for $129.
A battle of unbeaten schools will commence at Tiger Stadium, where No. 6 LSU welcomes No. 8 Florida. The Gators experienced a massive blow with the indefinite suspension of quarterback Will Grier after testing positive for PEDs. Sophomore Treon Harris will now get the start, who also served a one-game suspension earlier this year for an undisclosed violation.
Traveling to College Station, No. 9 Texas A&M takes on fellow SEC heavyweight Alabama, who is still fighting back from an early-season loss to Ole Miss. With Nick Saban’s dynasty days in question, the flawless Aggies host their second straight game at Kyle Field after taking down Mississippi State last week. The SEC battle continues next week when they travel to Oxford to play Ole Miss.
