#SECBsB

Hey there guys,

I've been running behind this past week with papers, tests and all the general student crap. Quick run down, Kentucky is on FIRE. After sweeping South Carolina the real question is whether or not they can keep this up. They can't finish the season undefeated...right? We'll see.

While last weekend I entered into with a near lazy mindset, this weekend is a complete 180. Top Ten match-up between Florida and South Carolina, where the winner could very well have a leg up on the race in the SEC East. Arkansas looks to receive their first test of the season when they travel to Starkville against an underrated Mississippi State team. Ole Miss and Alabama look to rebound from disappointing starts to conference play, while Auburn looks to knock off it's second ranked opponent in as many weekends.

SEC Baseball, full of bacon and 'cocks

Hey there guys,

While I love all sports, springtime brings out one of the best atmospheres of them all. College Baseball. Well maybe if you're an Ole Miss, LSU, South Carolina, Florida or Arkansas student, where going to baseball games is actually acceptable.

I don't know how up to date I'm going to keep this, but I'm going to follow along with SEC baseball. Making some predictions here and there, throwing in some power rankings. The usual stuff.

This weekend is the first step in finding out which teams are for real. We (think we) know that Florida, South Carolina and Arkansas are legit. What about Kentucky (weak schedule), Ole Miss (inexperienced weekend staff), Georgia (swept by UCLA), Miss State (L 3 of last 4) and LSU (worst SOS in conference)? It's also time for teams like Auburn, Tennessee, Alabama and Vanderbilt to step up.

The games aren't too exciting to non-followers eyes. Kentucky will get their first test with #3 South Carolina and the conference's lone Top 25 match-up features State and LSU. 

So grab a Budweiser, grill yourself a hot dog and prepare to enjoy the nation's past time: drinking, being lazy and over-analyzing a sport with more numbers than a binary code.

#FullCourtPress Semi's 'n stuffs

Hey there guys,

This has been an interesting tournament so far with some upsets (UGA over State; Miss over UTenn) and some scares (UK vs. LSU; Bama vs. SC). That said this is when the big boy action starts. The winners of today's game go on to represent their respective universities in the SEC championship game. Three of the four teams are already locks to make it into the tournament. That said if each team was really looking out for the conference they should let Ole Miss just go ahead and win the whole thing, therefore giving the conference even more representation.....sigh. I can still dream.

Today's games really aren't that interesting. Ole Miss needs a win, and Florida wants revenge for the disaster that was their first two meetings with Kentucky, but I'm not seeing that much sunshine for either team.

Still, this tournament hasn't exactly followed a strict script so far.....

#FullCourtPress Round Two: Reactions and Previews

Hey there guys,

Yeah I'm a little late. Whatever. It's my spring break. What are you doing? Going to the beach? Getting wasted? Well, take an advil. Eat some Easy Mac and recover from that first hangover of every spring climax and let me fill your mind with SEC basketball wisdom.

#FullCourtPress SEC Round One reactions

#8 LSU 70, #9 Arkansas 54
MVP: Johnny O'Bryant III, LSU, 18 pts 11 reb
LVP: Rickey Scott, Arkansas, 0 pts, 2 ast 2 to
Reaction: The second half of this game resembled the second half of Arkansas season. It was an almost unbearable first half to watch. Neither team looked comfortable running their offense, forcing shot after shot after shot, just begging for the ball to feel some sort guilt for them and finally fall in the hoop. Then Johnny O'Bryant took over, scoring 12 of his 18 in the second half to eliminate Arkansas.
Looking Ahead: Enjoy it while you can Tiger fans. Next up is Kentucky.

#5 Alabama 63, #12 S. Carolina 57
MVP: Trevor Lacey, Alabama, 15 pts 2 reb
LVP: Anthony Gill, S. Carolina, 2 pts
Reaction: Alabama needs some sort of offense. I mean, anything. With the exception of Lacey and frosh Levi Randolph, every major contributor scored below their season average agains a team that's not really known for its defense. My first reaction is to say it was freshman butterflies, yet it was the freshman who had decent games. The leaders are going to need to step up if this team wants to make any serious moves.
Looking ahead: Bama plays Florida tomorrow. The lockdown defense from the Tide is going to keep them in the game but if the upperclassmen don't step up they wont stand a chance.

#FullCourtPress SEC Tournament Round 1 preview

Hey there guys,

I really should be studying for an Ethics midterm, but I'm confident enough in my scrounging abilities to give all 32 of my consistent readers (Hi mom) a quick preview into the first round of the SEC tournament that begins in a half hour. Timing is everything right?

Without further adieu....

#FullCourtPress NBA Roundup 3/1

Hey there guys,

Welcome to March. Enjoy it. According to the Aztecs it'll be your last. Personally I plan to spend this month watching basketball, playing Mass Effect 3 (five days!) and inexplicably raising my arm up and down in a rhythmic manner to the song "Love is Gone" at Ole Miss baseball games.

Oh, and hoping and praying that the Magic get SOMETHING for Dwight Howard.

The clock's ticking.
