Madison (MS) native Chaz Ramsey has been granted a release from Auburn. This release gives him the opportunity to transfer to any Non-SEC school - with an exception for Mississippi State and Ole Miss.
Ramsey was a 4-star offensive lineman out of Madison Central High School. He started as a true freshman for Auburn in 2007 [...]

I missed my ballot deadlline last week, and there have been some major shakeups in my rankings after this past weekend. Here we go.

LSU
LSU is the most complete team in the SEC right now. Hey have found a solid QB in Jarrett Lee, Charles Scott is a force to be reckoned with, and their receiver [...]

The SEC has announced that the Mississippi State - Vandy kick-off has been set for 1:30pm on October 11. This obviously means no TV other than the normal replay on CSS on Sunday.
The only SEC games being televised that day are Tennessee at Georgia (3:30 CBS Game),LSU at Florida (8:00 CBS Game), and South Carolina [...]

This was pretty obvious, but it is now confirmed. Elliott tore the ACL and LCL in his left kneed early in the fourth quarter against LSU. Elliott is a redshirt freshman this year and was developing as a nice speed-back compliment to the Dixon-Ducre tandem.
I wonder if he can apply for a medical redshirt and [...]

Most Mississippi State fans are probably wondering what is going on with Robert Elliott. We all saw Elliott take a nasty hit to his left knee late in the game against LSU this past weekend. As the trainers were helping him off the field, it looked as if he couldn’t even lift his left leg.
Reports [...]

Well, at least we weren’t completely killed. I think most of us knew going into this game that we weren’t going to win. It is, after all, LSU. They have always had our number. At least we kept the score respectable.
in the second half, the offense really started to show some promise - completing passes, [...]

I have had a pretty busy week at work and haven’t been able to do my regular linkage posts, so I will just sort of lump them all together here. Enjoy.
The Sporting News says that LSU is among the SEC leaders in offense and defense.
And The Valley Shook talks about State’s offensive woes and how [...]

I sent fellow SEC Power Pollster Faimon at Pelican State Sports a few questions about the LSU Tigers and what they are looking forward to in the upcoming slaughter game with Mississippi State. Here are his answers. You can read my response to his questions over on his blog.
1. Until Auburn, LSU had not really [...]

What can I say. This was the first game I have attended since the Liberty Bowl and it was not a pretty sight. We arrived at Bobby Dodd stadium about halfway through the first quarter - just after Dixon broke off his 74 yard run. When we got to our seats, I couldn’t believe it [...]

I have seen a lot of posts flying around the message boards asking about the television situation for this game. Yes, the game is televised by Raycom sports, but it is part of their ACC package. They tried to get clearance for their SEC affiliates in Mississippi to show the ACC broadcast, but ESPN blocked [...]

Not much in the way of linkage for today. Jim Mashek of the SunHerald has an article talking about Georgia Tech’s offense - basically a modern version of the Wishbone that Croom played in under Paul “Bear” Bryant at Alabama.
“It is extremely difficult to defend,” Croom said. “I played in the wishbone. I know how [...]

I was contacted by Scott Carson over at Georgia Tech Sports blog with a few questions about our program, and I sent him a few about theirs. Here are his answers:
1. Mississippi State fans probably haven’t paid much attention to Georgia Tech. How is the team doing with the triple option that Paul Johnson brought [...]
