    Best advice I’ve received since COVID-19: “Be patient. Take time when making decisions. This is all new & you’ll gain better information each day.” @SEC has been deliberate at each step since March...slowed return to practice...delayed 1st game to respect start of fall semester..

    Interesting to read analysis from others as they examine “strength of schedule” in college football…it does seem there is a trend to be identified…

    Just helping explain why the @SEC is “overrated:” —30 Ws/4 Ls vs ACC (wow) —14 Ws/2 Ls vs Big 12 (oh my) —10 W/9 Ls vs Big Ten (👍) —185 Ws/23 Ls in non-conf games (😎) I confess @SEC teams have a .500 record in games after 1/4/25 (😂). Sure, let’s go with “overrated” (🏀)!

    "Last year in Atlanta, one of my backstage discussions with Mike Leach focused on the uselessness of neckties that concluded with the rhetorical question of why powdered wigs went away but neck ties remain. To honor Mike, I am without a tie today."

    Replying to @GregSankey
    ...Deveoped testing protocols...We know concerns remain. We have never had a FB season in a COVID-19 environment. Can we play? I don’t know. We haven’t stopped trying. We support, educate and care for student-athletes every day, and will continue to do so...every day.

    Asking for a friend…has any other conference had teams win the @OrangeBowl (@Vol_Football) @SugarBowlNola (@AlabamaFTBL) and @CFAPeachBowl (@GeorgiaFootball) all within a 24 hour period?

    I am saddened to learn of Cecil Hurt’s passing. Cecil was a leading voice in telling the story of the @SEC for four decades. The relationships he built, his credibility with readers, his clarity in communication and unrivaled wit made him a pillar of his profession. RIP Cecil.

    COVID-19 vaccines are widely available, proven to be highly effective and, when people are fully vaccinated, we all have the ability to avoid serious health risks, reduce the virus’ spread and maximize our chances to experience college sports—and life—like we are accustomed.
