It’s good to see that some programs are still sending out media guides. Thanks to Ole Miss for their 2012 edition (I received it yesterday, Aug. 6, 2012).

Longhorns not yet over A&M’s Big 12 departure
It hasn’t been easy for the Longhorns to let go of their long-time rival. Despite the fact that the Aggies officially became members of the SEC on 1 July 2012 and are no longer members of the Big 12 Conference, the Longhorns don’t appear to have quite gotten over the break-up.
Mississippi State: Deja vu all over again!
26 July 2012

Mississippi State unveiled its new Adidas football uniforms today and they look great. They look so great, in fact, that it’s almost as if I have seen them somewhere before.
Do you really believe there is another team in the SEC with the same colors and design as Mississippi State’s?
Take a look at what Texas A&M unveiled a few weeks ago and decide for yourself.
*Note: Mississippi State’s Director of Athletics Scott Stricklin [@stricklinMSU] “tweeted” this message on 26 July 2012 at 8:40 p.m.

“Re: A&M … 2 diff design teams. Bu[t] when 2 schools have same colors & are both using latest fabrics, there are going to be similarities[.]”
Sara Lampe criticizes Gary Pinkel for no apparent reason
by Travis Normand
By now I am sure you have read about Sara Lampe, the Missouri politician that has attempted to use Gary Pinkel to further her political aspirations of winning her parties nomination for Lt. Governor (the primary is set for August 7). While Lampe has said that her critical statements of Pinkel have nothing to do with the fact that she is running for public office, can anyone really believe her? Only the most sycophantic of Lampe worshippers would.
Lampe is criticizing Pinkel for saying some positive things about a friend and man he knew professionally. Does this mean her message is that despite any potential wrong-doings, not even a friend can be supportive of another? Seems a little harsh.
Aggie Identity Crisis?
by Travis Normand
I always thought Texas A&M was the school that was full of pride and tradition? Maybe I was wrong, or maybe Texas A&M is suffering from some form of bizarre identity crisis.
UPDATE 2: Kristen Saban Cat Fighting
by Travis Normand
If you read the complaint filed by Sarah Grimes you probably noticed that Kristen Saban’s boyfriend was referred to as “BV” throughout the document.
Well, in case your curious, it is rumored that BV is Alabama football player Brian Vogler.
ESPN Ranks the SEC Offensive Skill Positions
Kevin Steele to join LSU staff
by Travis Normand
Did Les Miles and LSU not watch the 2012 Orange Bowl between West Virginia and Clemson?
Apparently former Clemson defensive coordinator Kevin Steele, who was fired after the 70-33 loss to WVU, is being hired by LSU and will join the football staff in an administrative capacity.
Of course, I am not sure what he will be “administrating” and I can only hope it doesn’t involve the LSU defense. After all, a 70-33 beat-down on national TV is not exactly the best ringing endorsement of ones capabilities as a defensive coordinator.
Before taking the DC job at Clemson, Steele was the head coach at Baylor (1999-2002) where he compiled a conference record of 1-31 and an overall record of 9-36.
For LSU’s sake, I hope Steele is a good coach who has just had some bad material to work with. I guess we will see.

So many trophies, so little space
LSU’s T-Shirt Fail
by Travis Normand
Apparently the creator of this shirt would like to take a shower at Penn State and “THEN” root for Alabama! I am not sure why they would want to do this, but it is LSU, so there is no telling.
Maybe they meant to write “THAN?”
