I'll one-up you, Chris. Former Vanderbilt DC is a NFL head coach.

Thanks for the laughs last night, Nate Bargatze!

My thoughts on top Power Four coaching hires:

Best:
1) PSU - Campbell proven upon arrival
2) LSU - Kiffin with more talent
3) FLA - Sumrall seems ideal fit
4) KSU - Klein going home
5) VT - Franklin's a winner

Solid:
MSU, AUB, MISS, CAL

Not so good:
ARK, UK, OKST, ISU, UCLA, STAN

Time to ask the obvious Canada question: how many properties under Trump Corp control are located in the nation north of us?

Bobby Petrino, the Neck Brace Guy, is back at the helm of Arkansas football.

It’s never boring in the SEC.

Journalism wins and the building where it happens is then torn down is freakin’ perfect.

Remarkably, seven guys from Vanderbilt's 2015 squad remain active in the NFL.

FB Khari Blasingame (PHI), LB Oren Burks (PHI), DT Adam Butler (LV), LB Zach Cunningham (DEN), DB Tre Herndon (NO), WR Trent Sherfield (MN) & OT Justin Skule (TB).

I'm proud of all of them. Good pros, quality citizens.

James Franklin did a remarkable coaching job tonight and this year at Penn State.

Throughout his coaching career, Franklin has placed huge emphasis on winning turnover margin. Unfortunately, he loses a chance at the national championship due to an untimely turnover.

This Notre Dame-Penn State game is highly entertaining.

Absolutely no early-season respect for Vanderbilt basketball and first-year coach Mark Byington.

Commodores are 12-1 overall, with wins vs. Cal, Nevada, Seton Hall, TCU & VA Tech, and lone loss to unbeaten Drake. They're getting 0️⃣ Top 25 votes.

Moving on to SEC play this Wednesday.

Happy for my Commodores - a bowl victory and the program's first winning season in a decade.

Congrats to Coach Lea, the players and entire coaching staff.

Anchor Down.

Opening weekend of College Football Playoff was a complete snore.

Hoping for more competitive games in quarterfinal round.

Seems like all news on Northern California thoroughbred racing is disappointing these days. None more so that this item about trainer Steve Specht.

Knew him well during my days working in Santa Rosa. A really good guy and damn good horsemen.

Happy retirement, Steve!

Evie greets Olaf the Clydesdale Anheuser-Busch tour guide's granddaughter visits with her very favorite Budweiser Clydesdale, Olaf.

Who enjoyed saying hello to Olaf more, little Evie or grandaddy?

For those that believe expanding the NCAA College Football Playoff is the solution, realize SIX SEC teams would be included this year with a 16-team field.

You just got to love college football rivalry games!

Somewhere in the Big Apple, CBS Sports bigwigs are kicking themselves once again over this SEConABC contract.

What an incredible ball game in Athens, Ga.

If any three-loss SEC team makes the college football playoffs, my vote goes to South Carolina.

To finish 9-3, SC will defeat a good Clemson squad Saturday, and run win streak to six games.

The SC offense is improving weekly. Very talented and physical OL/DL, along with quality special teams.

Who you got as the biggest disappointments this fall in college football.
I’ll start…
1) Florida State
2) Utah

Brett, to me this reinforces overall strength of SEC.
Tough for even elite teams (I see Texas & UGA in that category) to post lengthy W streaks.

John McCutcheon is so good for the soul.
First time to see John since the late 1980s. Still an awesome musician and storyteller.
