Unless you live on the moon or somewhere beneath the mantle deep within the earth's core, you heard about the war of words between Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher a couple of weeks ago. Saban accused Texas A&M of "buying" its entire recruiting class, which happened to be the No. 1 class in t…
Auburn welcomes Alabama in the Iron Bowl this week as a heavy underdog, but that doesn't matter often in rivalry games of such stature.

I know Alabama is once again No. 1 in the country. I know Mac Jones, Najee Harris and Devonta Smith are all possible award winners at their respective positions. I know there are many reasons to be thrilled college football has navigated the 2020 hellscape about as well as it could.

The NFL and college football seasons are underway, giving Southerners our favorite time of year full of football and friends.
If you watch any long-running TV show, you’ll see most of the protagonists complete a character arch. An initial villain will slowly begin to show heroic traits or a story’s hero will eventually have you guessing if he is really the bad guy after all. That’s what makes the show great and lon…
