SEC Media Days marks the unofficial beginning of football season. Well, at least it kicks off the beginning of “talking season” and that’s about as much fun as you can have without 100 yards of green grass and a pigskin.
SEC Media Days will begin next week in Tampa, FL and I might finally have something substantive to talk about. This will be Alex Golesh’s first opportunity to experience the unique blend of chaos and splendor that is “Media Days.”
It seems like half of the articles I write these days revolve around everything that is wrong with college athletics. With the implementation of the transfer portal and NIL, college football has become the embodiment of Thunderdome. There are…

Another Auburn baseball season that was filled with anticipation, expectation and numerous accolades has ended in disappointment. The Tigers fell to the Ole Miss Rebels over the weekend in front of a record crowd at Plainsman Park.
Throughout his high school football career, Benjamin Russell defensive lineman Kalib Spivey has garnered the attention of 23 schools across the country.
If you were to ask Benjamin Russell soccer coach Lee Wagoner who the staples of the girls soccer team for the last few years were, it'd take him no time at all to choose his deadly combination of Jerly Barragan and Paris Martinez.
Truett Harrelson has made quite the name for himself out on the lake, so much so it garnered the attention of Central Alabama Community College coach Michael McLain.
I’ll be taking an opportunity this week to continue my annual tradition of making some college football prognostications shortly after the end of spring practice. Springtime happens to be the most advantageous time of year to peer into the sp…
I’ve talked about gambling before. I believe just a few months into my tenure with Tallapoosa Publishers Inc., I talked about it and my conflicting views on the subject.
The Auburn baseball team won their fourth straight series over the weekend at Plainsman Park against Oklahoma, cementing themselves as one of the best teams in the country.
Auburn all but finished up their first spring practice of the Alex Golesh era on Saturday with the traditional A-Day game pitting the Tiger offense versus the Tiger defense. A little over 30,000 fans in attendance witnessed a mix of explosive…

Spring practice for college football teams is in full swing across the country, and typically it's capped off with an annual spring game event. That was the case in Tuscaloosa with Alabama completing its scrimmage, better known as A-Day.
The Central Alabama Community College golf team has practically dominated on the green this year. The Trojans are ranked the No. 3 team in the National Junior College Athletic Association poll, and just added another accolade to their resume.
First of all, I just want to congratulate Steven Pearl and the Auburn basketball team for bringing home another championship to the Plains. It might not be the one they had envisioned at the beginning of the season, but it’s worthy of a banne…
Bruce Pearl transformed the Auburn basketball program from a doormat in the SEC into one of its most luxurious penthouse apartments over the last decade. They have filled their trophy case with three regular season conference championships, t…
I already wrote about March Madness, so I’m going to hold off writing about that more until it gets dwindled down a little further and maybe do a typical highlight of the Cinderella story later. However, after talking to Horseshoe Bend boys b…
It seems like a lifetime ago, but on Jan. 1 of 2021 the Auburn Tigers were “rewarded” with a trip to Orlando, Florida to play Northwestern in the Citrus Bowl.
