LSU Tigers – “The Magnolia Bowl” is played each year between the LSU Tigers and the Ole Miss Rebels. The tradition started back in 1894 and has been played a total of 111 times. Full disclosure, the game didn’t get the name “Magnolia Bowl” until there was a vote by both student bodies in 2008. The

Florida Gators – The game between Florida and South Carolina began back in 1911. Since then, it has been played sparsely only happening 44 times in the next 113 years. This matchup has been largely significant for the coaches that have quit or been fired due, in no small part, to the result of this game.

Alabama Crimson Tide – The Crimson Tide and Volunteers started this ruckus all the way back in 1901. This has been a competitive series through the years.

Missouri Tigers – The Tigers of Mizzou and the Aggies of Texas A&M have one of the shortest rivalries in the Southeastern Conference at this point, but it’s not without its passion.

Mississippi State Bulldogs – Mississippi State and Vanderbilt have played football only 24 times in their respective histories, but the first one was all the way back in 1904 when they played the game in Columbus, MS. Vanderbilt won that contest 61-0 and they didn’t play for another 19 years when they tied 0-0. That must

I wrote this before week 1 (but didn’t publish it). I find the Alabama situation at QB fascinating. I’ve seen some interviews and commentary and what I have gleaned from the available information is that Ty Simpson has lost the QB competition in Tuscaloosa for 3 years running and now it’s his turn? I get

Auburn Tigers I know this one doesn’t need much explaining or comment. The annual clash between Alabama and Auburn, while technically not the longest running rivalry game in the deep south, it is definitely one of the most intense. The term “Iron Bowl” was coined by Auburn’s legendary coach, Ralph “Shug” Jordan in the early

In 1893, LSU was preparing to play their first ever football game against the Tulane Green Wave in New Orleans. The school’s sports teams, up to this point, had been wearing blue and white,  but felt they needed to change since Tulane’s main colors were blue, white, and green. Head Football Coach, Charles Coates, and
