Missouri's best player got shot at a concert and still can't practice. Alabama's starting center came from D2 and their OC says he 'looks like a retired surfer.' The SEC preseason chaos is fully cooked.
Photos from Alabama's fall camp media day reveal the script A on the jersey collar has been quietly replaced, clearing real estate for a sponsor patch that has not yet been announced. Welcome to August, where even the uniforms are for sale.
Kalen DeBoer's Alabama is ranked No. 11 for the first time since 2008 and everyone is losing their mind about it. Meanwhile Curt Cignetti called the SEC a hype machine and then quietly cancelled Notre Dame. And the Protect College Sports Act just died on the Senate floor — again.
A federal judge handed eligibility back to an entire recruiting class, the transfer portal just reopened mid-August, and the SEC still can't decide if Arch Manning is good. Fall camp was supposed to simplify things.

The SEC heads to Destin next week for spring meetings that could blow up the sport's postseason forever, while Lane Kiffin spent two weeks apologizing for being honest and everyone pretended to be shocked.
The SEC's Friday news cycle includes a suspect arrested in the Ahmad Hardy shooting, Paul Finebaum formally convicting Kalen DeBoer in the court of public opinion, and a five-star freshman QB filming a Nate Bargatze movie before ever playing a college down.
Missouri's Ahmad Hardy posted a quiet rehab video while his alleged shooters turn out to be former teammates. Meanwhile Georgia fans are spiraling over an anonymous coach's depth concerns, and Finebaum is off the Arch Manning hype train. Mostly.
Steve Sarkisian said Ole Miss hands out degrees for basket weaving. Ole Miss does not offer basket weaving. Archie Manning is not thrilled. Lane Kiffin is also somehow involved. Of course he is.
