I have a three month Sirius trial in my new car, so I listened to Feinbaum for the first time ever today. Wow, I'm all in. There were two separate mongoloids who called in and demanded that there be 4 SEC teams in the playoffs. Tennessee fans who call in and chide him for being a bama homer. The best is when he completely gets exasperated not with the content of the calls but with how stupid the people are and how they can't organize their thoughts or differentiate between a statement and a question when he prods them to get to their question.

Now, I don't expect the intellectual candle to burn all that bright on any sports call in show, but holy Joesus is this just a cesspool of broken chromsomes. These people's DNA strands must look like they were drawn on a fucking Etch a Sketch.


Dude you have no idea :lol:
I listen to Finebaum some mornings at work on ESPN radio for pure comedic entertainment. The rednecks that call that show can run the gamut of every hillbilly stereotype. I remember listening to a guy who called in saying he spent 3days in his bedroom at home weeping after Alabama lost to Oklahoma. Even Finebaum couldn't believe it, and the guy said it like it was normal and why wouldn't he do it lol. You just can't make up some of the callers on his show. Phyllis is the bst overall treat of a caller, words can't explain the full on retard of this woman and blind for 'Bama. But Finebaum eats it all up, no matter how frustrated he may get because he knows these rednecks pay his bills and keep him on the air

After winning their first half of games over suspect competition, UK could go 0-6 in almost all blowout fashion if(and very likely) they lose to Tennessee and Lousiville. But I'm sure everyone could've predicted this ending

Thanks to a Tide overload, the Egg Bowl will receive a rare CBS spotlight

With the caveat that some of you will not care about this at all while others will find this fascinating, here goes nothing: CBS’s loss could turn into a large piece of good fortune for ESPN on Thanksgiving weekend.

CBS and ESPN have long split the most valuable rights package in college sports – SEC football – with the Eye getting first pickings and the Worldwide Leader taking everything after that. And having first pick of the SEC football litter usually means taking the Iron Bowl, the Deep South holy war between Alabama and Auburn, teams that have combined to appear in the last five national championship games (winning four of them) while staging some absolute classics along the way.

But deep inside the SEC’s contract with CBS is that a program can only appear on CBS five times in a season, and this Saturday’s tilt between AP No. 1 Mississippi State and No. 4 Alabama in Tuscaloosa will be the Tide’s fifth CBS appearance this fall. The network has already broadcast Alabama’s wins over Florida, Texas A&M and LSU and its loss to Ole Miss. Saturday’s date will be Mississippi State’s third game on CBS, following wins over Auburn and Kentucky.

With CBS locked out of the Iron Bowl, the conference announced Monday that the Egg Bowl will be shown Saturday, Nov. 29 at 3:30 p.m. ET, which means ESPN gets Auburn at Alabama at 7:15 p.m. ET that same day. It will be the first time the Egg Bowl has aired on broadcast television since NBC showed the game way back in 1964.ESPN, meanwhile, gets the Iron Bowl for just the third time in its history, and the first time since 2007, Nick Saban‘s first year in Tuscaloosa.

Of course, there is the possibility that CBS could get its maximum allotment of Crimson Tide and not cede possibly the largest audience of the season away to ESPN – Mississippi State just has to beat Alabama on Saturday. A Bullodgs win all but guarantees they’ll head to Oxford on Thanksgiving Saturday playing for a guaranteed spot in the College Football Playoff opposite their arch-rivals, relegating the Iron Bowl to consolation status.

LSU AD apologizes for crude anti-Saban chants

If you were watching the Alabama-LSU game this past Saturday (which I wasn't since it was on the same time as the Ohio State Michigan State game:biggrin:) with the volume at any appreciable level above “hush,” you heard it plain as day.

“F*** you Saban,” the chants, most likely from the LSU student section, rang out late in the nationally-televised game. The fact that such expletives would be directed at the Alabama head coach is not surprising; Nick Saban both coached at LSU before bolting for the NFL and is one of the winningest head coaches in the college football game, oft times at the expense for the Bayou Bengals.

Report: SEC, A&M would nix bowl game vs. Texas

One of the casualties of conference expansion was Texas-Texas A&M, the long-running and heated in-state rivalry that was first played in 1894 and played every year from 1915-2011. Since A&M officially left for the SEC in 2012, neither side has been inclined to reignite the rivalry with a non-conference series.

Hopes were raised, however, when it became clear as the 2014 season moved along that there was the possibility the Aggies and Longhorns could meet up in the postseason. It appears, though, those hopes were a false one.

Citing a pair of sources close to the situation, Chip Brown of HornsDigest.com is reporting that an A&M-UT bowl game this year will not happen because “apparently the Aggies –- or perhaps the SEC on the Aggies’ behalf –- [will make] sure there will be no postseason matchup of two of college football’s most bitter divorcees.” Per the report, the SEC has made it clear to bowl games with SEC-Big 12 tie-ins that the conference “won’t support a Texas vs Texas A&M postseason matchup” because, Brown writes, “A&M has too much to lose from a potential loss.”

As the theory goes, A&M is the top dog in recruiting in the state of Texas and playing UT in a bowl game, with the possibility of a loss, could potentially cause damage to the Aggies on that front.

IIRC it was the 'horns who broke the contract and refused to re-write it when the aggies left. I believe the aggies offered to keep the game streak going but Texas had a hissy fit. I'm no fan of the SEC, but Texas is only a half step behind Notre Dame in insisting on getting their way in all matters.
