Last week went a long way toward clearing up the SEC bowl picture, and there's now just one week of games left. Here's a quick run-through of Alabama's options and what's going on around the SEC. First are the SEC teams on the bubble, then Bama, then the rest.

Mississippi State- The Alabama loss knocked the Bulldogs out of the bowl picture. They'll sit at home.

MSU wrap-up: Special teams, special players key win over Bulldogs

Special teams have arguably been the weakest point on the 2008 Alabama team. Until Saturday against Mississippi State, anyway.

Now the question is whether this team has a weak point. Every facet of Alabama’s special teams – kick returns, kick coverage, punting, placekicking, punt block unit – was better than average at worst and game-changing at... [Read More]

A quick look around the SEC...and some bowl thoughts
Posted Today at 02:09 AM by JessN

I'm not promising I can keep this blog current each week, but I'm going to give it a shot considering the weekly wrap-up columns don't leave me enough room to touch on other things.

* SEC 2008: Some national pundits are beginning to float the thought that the SEC is having a "down year." Inspection says they're right, depending on where they are looking.

MSU preview: Bama is looking ahead – to revenge
By Jess Nicholas

Given the fact that Alabama is coming off a big win over LSU on the road, and has Auburn in two weeks after an off-week, it is only natural for many to fear the Crimson Tide would be looking past a 3-6 Mississippi State team that has been the picture of offensive dysfunctionality in 2008.

Alabama probably is looking ahead – to revenge.

In 2006, Mississippi... [Read More]

1 p.m. CST - Monday's Mailbag, and more on Mercer...
From time to time on Mondays, I try to open up my mailbag and pass a few along to the rest of you.
When you take calls on a football post game show, or you take E-mails on a website geared toward a passionate fan base, you often get calls/E-mails from irate individuals. Sometimes they cross the line and you simply have to hit "Delete" and move on. Although I do my best to respond to

11 p.m. CST - Sick way to start the basketball season...
One of the things that I love about college basketball is the fact that you can struggle early in the season, yet attain most of your goals. There is time for improvement, and the opportunity to overcome early mistakes.
That being said, I'm stunned by what happened tonight at Coleman Coliseum.

Noon CST - A look back to Saturday, and a preview of Sunday night...
I love how Alabama is winning football games, especially compared to the way Florida is drilling its opponents. No, I haven't lost my mind. And I don't look at this as tugging on Superman's cape, spitting into the wind, pulling the mask off the ole Lone Ranger, or messing around with Jim (nothing like working in a Jim Croce song on a Sunday morning, huh?).
Here's my thinking.

10:00 a.m. CST - I don't give a #### who we're playing either!
I am very interested in seeing what tonight's game will look (and sound) like. Will Coach Saban's pep talk at his radio show Thursday night inspire both the fans and players, as intended?

Will the fans who turn out on a cold, windy night at Bryant-Denny, simply sit on their hands to keep them warm? Or will they clap them together and stand up most of the night in order to provide their own heat?
