The Auburn Tigers defeated the Southern Miss Golden Eagles 43-8 on Saturday night in front of an electric crowd after an hour delay due to lightning. According to the 247Sports Talent Composite, USM is the 94th most talented team in the count…
I had my fantasy draft last Saturday, and honestly, for the first time since most of us were in college where we had a pretty big group get-together for it. In total, there are 12 of us, but six of us got together over some burgers, hot dogs …
The first week of the college football season is always a great learning experience especially when your team takes on some form of Power 4 competition. The SEC finished the week 16-0 and that hasn’t happened in several years. Most of the con…
The high school football season has started, and with that the college season is officially underway. And all that means to me is the NFL is finally here. At the time you’re seeing this, whether reading it in print or online, I’ll have drafte…
This week I came across an article that I really enjoyed by Front Office Sports’ Ellyn Briggs. It was titled, “‘Pajama Paparazzi’: High School Football Sidelines Clogged With Creators.”
The Fall Camp portion of Auburn’s preseason schedule has come to an end. Alex Golesh has installed his playbook and the offense will operate according to his speed. South Florida ran plays at a faster pace than almost anyone in the country la…
A very familiar feeling is beginning to come over me. I can’t seem to avoid it. It happens right around this time of year every single year without fail like a virus.
Dear Elmore County, my time has come. This is my final week with TPI as the Elmore County sports reporter. I will be heading back to my home state of Texas to continue to pursue sports writing.
It really is hard for me to believe next Thursday, I will be making the drive to Huntsville for the first game of the football season. I giggle at the idea high school football is played on a Thursday, and no less the first week of the season. However, I’m willing to let that slide for the t…
Auburn finished up its first week of fall camp last Saturday and coach Alex Golesh seemed pleased with the status of his team through only a handful of practices.
Apple TV’s Ted Lasso is a stupid sports show with a stupid sports premise: an American football coach travels across the pond to England to coach a Premier League football team despite zero knowledge of the sport. Let’s be honest; that would …
Alex Golesh made a very good impression at SEC Media Days in front of local, state and national media. His answers were forthright and genuinely thoughtful. I continue to say this, but it continues to be true. I like Golesh more and more ever…
When I got the notification last week my pick for the greatest basketball player of all time was going to become a Philadelphia 76er, to say I was speechless would be an understatement. James’ final free agency saga was interesting to me for …
On Wednesday, July 22, it was my anniversary. Not with my girlfriend or anything, just the other important part of my life that takes up most of my time — work.
I know y’all know when I mean when I say I can’t wait a moment longer for the college football season. I crave the sweaty, oppressive humidity of a Texas Saturday afternoon, walking across the Forty Acres in my boots, ignorant to the ache in …
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.
Respect is something that everyone should value highly. Just like in a court of law, respect is something granted upon first impression and earned in every following interaction; innocent until proven guilty, respected until proven unworthy.
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.”
