Kane Wommack remembers the time he had the misfortune of facing mighty Western Kentucky in the New Orleans Bowl

Sort of an uninspiring security response to an LSU fan on the field. One cop had to leave his hotdog on the sideline to make the arrest

To be clear here, I am fairly certain he was joking, Kane does not give focus on the family vibes
Kane Wommack: not a Halloween guy

Auburn created a PR disaster for itself, overlooking *gestures at any number of disqualifying factors* because Hugh Freeze could beat Alabama

Then, he never did it again

Hugh Freeze was hired because he beat Alabama. He never did it with Auburn
Hugh Freeze failed at the job Auburn hired him to do.

of course I already had the math done on how Hugh Freeze's firing impacts the average golf handicap of SEC head coaches

Congratulations to Shane Beamer btw

How does Hugh Freeze’s firing impact the average golf handicap of SEC coaches?
Who is the SEC's best golfing head coach with Auburn's Hugh Freeze out of the picture?

For whatever it's worth, Jill Freeze plays a lot of golf in her own right, and her posted scores show as coming from the ladies tees, so Hugh might be tagging along but if he has a GHIN burner, it's not his wife

12 posted rounds in September, 6 in October.

15.8 index, but soft-capped

I for one welcome the carriage dispute, as I'm in favor of anything that makes it more difficult to watch the CFP rankings show every week

Pains me to give credit to the golf influencers but they were unfortunately right about the 7 wood, think this thing might be magic

Genuinely devastating that because of how the fiscal year falls, this season's buyouts won't be included in the next version of this chart I make out of FOIA'd financial records
October 27, 2025 at 2:09 AM
You're damn right there's a local angle.

LSU interim coach Frank Wilson was on staff at Southern Miss in 2008, alongside Alabama offensive line coach Chris Kapilovic

A special teams contributor for the Golden Eagles that season?

Only move that makes sense for LSU at this point is making a splash hire. Gotta go get a sitting SEC coach to make clear that you're the biggest fish in the pod and regain the national respect that you've lost.

That's why I think Arkansas' Bobby Petrino is the obvious hire

Windermere Club in Blythewood, SC was the latest stop on the Beat Writer's Game Deteriorating Throughout Football Season Tour. Played horribly, excellent time though. Hard course. @bportnoy15.bsky.social whipped my ass in a back 9 match

When did Dixieland Delight debut at an Alabama football game? Here’s our investigation
There's no official record of when Dixieland Delight was first played at Bryant-Denny Stadium for an Alabama football game. So, we opened an investigation to try to find the answer.
