Monday Morning Required Reading
Who's excited about kicking off SEC play on Saturday? Alrighty all. There's a long work week to get through so lets not dilly dally and waste any of that quality procrastination time it holds for us. Here's the best of the best Crimson Tide-related news from around the interwebs over the past few...
With all that Ess-EEEE-SEEE Speed, You'd Think the SEC Would Have a Better Regular Season Record Against BCS Conference Schools

The Road To Mediocrity Goes Through Boredom
Cupcakes. Everyone has them, nobody likes them. Feldman put together a relatively arbitrary list of schools with the easiest OOC schedules. While putting these schools in order seems kind of pointless, we can all agree the ten schedules on the list are flat out bad. Interestingly enough, four...
