SEC Network and College Football season draw near: Predictions?
Hi everyone! After a long off-season and some downtime, we are ready for some FOOTBALL! College football season is quickly approaching and I trust all the fans out there are entering the pre-season speculation phase.
For SEC fans it is truly an exciting year as ESPN's SEC Network launches August 14th, and the newly announced carrier Comcast will make it easier for sports junkies and Xfinity subscribers like myself to enjoy lots of SEC football on the go. I highly recommend the Xfinity TV Go app for smartphone users. And it's not just football, you will have access to all of the SEC sports coverage from the network.
Other providers, including Direct TV are in the works, so check out your coverage and options (fees may apply) and never miss a game! It's an exciting time for technology to keep eager fans tuned into the league.
I am excited to see a little more of Tim Tebow this season, although he will be "suited" up in his analyst role (read more). So where are the promising SEC favorites this season?
For this SEC girl it is nice to see some media attention turn to Dak Prescott as he leads the Miss State Bulldogs. A recent USA Today article media poll places the SEC title back in Alabama territory, but that pesky Auburn team is still hanging around in second place. I will agree that South Carolina, Georgia, LSU and Miss State may all see some exciting play action this year as their leading players emerge on the stage.
Of course the return of Nick Sabin to Alabama certainly keeps the Crimson Tide rolling. However, if last year's season taught us anything, it is that prior years such as in the case of Auburn and Missouri, have a way of turning around quickly and winning seasons are one game at a time. I think Coach Sabin would agree with me on this premise.
Let the countdown begin, 2014 SEC football is first and goal!

Manziel rings in the New Year with a Winning Performance

The Chick-fil-A Bowl in Atlanta, GA was the site for a fairytale ending to 2013 college football play as Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel and his team pulled off a 21-point comeback for the Aggies.
Proving once again he is a fierce competitor, the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner threw for 382 yards and completed 30-38 passes to lead the Aggies to defeat Duke 52-4.
In a game where the momentum was clearly not in their favor at the half, Manziel emerged from the locker room to hit target after target in the second half. He missed only once in the second half and threw for 4 touchdowns in the game.
The 6-1, 210 pound, redshirt sophomore shrugged off reporters about his future at Texas A&M and the possibility of his move to the NFL next season. If a guy could go out on top in his college career, then last night was his moment. SEC fans will have to wait and see if he returns for yet another season, but "Johnny Football" who had a rocky start to this season proved the pundits wrong last night.
