Alabama is in the post-Major Applewhite era, and seems very happy with the new [...]
Well isn’t this just f’ing great. Florida gets College Gameday with former Gator cheerleader Erin Andrews to cover their Spring Game on April 12th (Masters weekend).

The Ragin’ Cajun, James Carville, of Carville, Louisiana, is apparently a die-hard LSU fan.
