    LOCKED OT: Haiti is in the crosshairs, looks like its going to claim a ...

    Not exactly true ... Haitian deforestation is because of a lot of factors ... 1. Coffee plantations when it was a French slave plantation. The French cut the trees to plant more coffee. 2. When Haiti overthrew the French government, the French saddled Haiti with a huge debt. There are no...

    OT - Mark Beason

    ... slight correction ... That was a great year, but Marshall was not sports editor that year, I was ... :-)

    AJC reporting....

    When Saban leaves, Dabo is getting that job. People at Clemson are a bit annoyed at how much contact he maintains in Alabama with key donors and supporters.

    Juniors going pro

    I think you're looking at it wrong ... Not all NFL receivers are burners who get separation. Some are just physical mismatches. Keyshawn Johnson made a career of it, so has Brandon Marshall. There are many others. He's a big red-zone mismatch. He'll do fine at the next level.

    We all agree we need a rb

    YELLING: WHEN THE OL CAN'T BLOCK, IT DOES NOT MATTER I'm over the conversation about running back. It does not matter. We could have Walter Payton and Eric Dickerson in the backfield and they'd get nothing. Our o-line is a dumpster fire.

    at what point does mullen decide offensive line is a recruiting priority?

    Warren needs to find the bench ... I guess I could tolerate a younger player making mistakes, but it's just freaking ridiculous at this point. He does not block anyone. It's like his goal is to see how fast someone can get to Dak.

    SEC grads' median income

    Cost of living ... meh ... Mississippi's salaries are embarrassing. They hold the state back and the people back.

    SEC grads' median income

    What the heck does the Ayers' settlement have to do with any university's degree matriculation?

    You don't have to treat all match ups the same ... Simple solution ... The SEC should protect some historical cross divisional rivalries (Alabama-Tennessee and Georgia-Auburn for example). Lock those two games in every year, then rotate the other match ups. You're dealing with even numbers so...

    The CL finally with the Tunsil news.

    Should? There are so many shoulds in that article. I have a lot of disdain for people who break rules and say that it should be allowed. Every single coach, player, and administrator knows the NCAA rules. They are not suggestions. If you do not like them, you do not have to play college sports...

    Damn you Ed O'bannon! Damn you!

    It's a shame that something could not be worked out. Seriously, make the game but make me build my own team - without player likeness - anything. Put part of the profits in a fund for players and pay them out. I don't care. I want my game back!

    What did Collin Cowturd say today that got him fired?

    I've been to both Corvalis, OR and Pullman, WA .... ummm ... He's right, the Pac12 does not have a Starkville. Starkville is a great small city, and those places were horrid.

    ICYMI: Dan Wetzel Wrote an Article on the Redskin's Name

    What's appropriate about this? http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/news/a29318/redskin-name-update/ Redskin is not just a word ... there's a vile history behind it.

    ICYMI: Dan Wetzel Wrote an Article on the Redskin's Name

    I disagree a lot ... muy ... tons 1. You really think there was less power and privilege in the 1930s, than there is now? That's right in middle of massive Native American cultural appropriation (cowboys and indians) and right in the middle of Jim Crow which existed against Native Americans...

    ICYMI: Dan Wetzel Wrote an Article on the Redskin's Name

    It's your privilege that allows that line of thinking ... I am glad that we are able to have conversations and make changes to things that are basically horribly offensive. For too long other people have used their power and privilege to appropriate other's cultures and offensive imagery for...
