Gamecocks Hope To Have Kiffin 'Pumping Gas'

When the Gamecocks visit Knoxville on Saturday night they hope to have Tennessee head coach Lane Kiffin pumping gas following the game.
Earlier in the spring, Kiffin told a recruit that if he chose South Carolina, that he would end of pumping gas for a living.
This comment has inspired the Gamecocks and led the team to a 5-2 record.
The Gamecocks enter the game ranked No. 22 in the BCS and second in the SEC East.

Ole Miss Gets Back On Track


The way it started was the way it ended in Saturdays game between Ole Miss and UAB as the Rebels won in fashion, 48-13.
The opening kick off was returned for a touchdown by Ole Miss freshman Jesse Grandy and the rebels didn't look back shutting the Blazers out in the first half, 27-0.
The Rebels (4-2) had over 500 yards of total offense, with more than 300 coming through the air.

Richt and Fulmer Paved Similar Path


Both Mark Richt and Phillip Fulmer had similar results in each of their first seven seasons with their school's.
Both coaches led each team to five season with 10 or more wins and each had 72 total wins in their first seven seasons.
Although these are good stats, Fulmer found out at the end of last season, his sixteenth with Tennessee, that the results in first seven years didn't matter at the end of the day when he was let go at the end of the 2008 season.
Richt is in his eighth year with Georgia, but after a shaky start to 2009, may very well we headed down the same path as Fulmer.

SEC Celebration Rules Questioned

One-Loss SEC Team Could Reach BCS Title Game


Florida defeated LSU in Baton Rouge Saturday night giving the Tigers their first loss of the season but not ending their BCS title hopes.
If the Tigers go on to win out the rest of the season and win the SEC championship game, there is a strong possibility that they may end up in BCS title game in January.
Last year the same thing happened to Florida, when they were upset by Ole Miss in the middle of the season and went on to win their remaining games and knocked of Alabama in the SEC championship.
Whomever wins the SEC championship in December, as long as they have one loss or less, their BCS hopes are still greatly alive.

Razorbacks Level Aggies In Arlington


At the new Dallas Cowboys stadium in Arlington, the Razorbacks (2-2) took down Texas A&M(3-1) 47 -19, in front of a crowd of 71,872.
The Razorbacks led my redshirt sophomore quarterback Ryan Mallett, who through for 271 yards and four touchdowns, on a stingy Aggies defense.
Although Mallett lit up the defense, a combination of turnovers and missed opportunities cost the Aggies in the end.

Do or Die for Rebels Against Vandy

http://www.sunherald.com/237/story/1646725.html

SEC Economics Dominate NCAA


From large crowds to pricey coaches, the SEC seems to have a lock on economics in college football.
The SEC has six teams in the top 11 in revenue from the 2007-2008 season, a feat that no other conference even comes close to.
Revenue must come from somewhere, so it is no surprise that the SEC lead in total attendance in 2008, 6,378,085, as well as average attendance.
Three coaches, Florida coach Urban Meyer, LSU coach Les Miles and Alabama coach Nick Saban, are all in the top 5 highest paid coaches in all of college football.
The SEC is full of pride and tradition, and it is shown through its dedicated fans, prestigious programs and winning ways.
