Sunday afternoon buffet

Eh, why not?

• Did you ever notice how good LSU is at keeping kids who repeatedly fail drug tests out of the news?
• Another player has decided to retire from the game of football due to an ongoing concussion.
• Urban Meyer and the rest of his staff are heading to a satellite camp at Florida Atlantic University in June.
• A UAB football player’s graduation protest
• John Theus says he and his mates on the line have some things to clean up this offseason.

Spring game attendance numbers

You can find the SEC figures here.  Surprisingly, eight of the twelve schools that hosted spring games saw a decline in their numbers from 2014.  Maybe weather was a factor in some places, but, still, I’m a little surprised at the results from Alabama, Auburn and Tennessee.

On the other hand, can’t you feel the excitement building in Columbia and Gainesville?

“A good field goal kicker in college football is often a luxury”

If I didn’t know any better, I’d say Seth Emerson’s trolling certain GTP trollers with this:

• Alabama, last year’s SEC champion, only made 14-of-22 field goal attempts and missed two extra points. Two years before that, the Crimson Tide won the SEC and national championships while making 15-of-20 field goal attempts.

• Auburn made 15-of-21 field goal attempts and missed one extra point during its run to the 2013 SEC championship.

Well played, sir.  Wish I’d have thought of it.
