SEC News & Notes

-Jimbo Fisher, LSU's offensive coordinator, is rumored to be the leading candidate for the head coaching position at Louisiana Tech after UAB decided not to interview him. UAB thought they would not be able to pay Fisher enough to lure him from Baton Rouge. Fisher has been rumored for so many positions lately, I'm surprised that he would settle for La Tech, but his options are drying up.

-Auburn has suspended future killing machine Tray Blackmon indefinitely today for an undisclosed violation of team rules. Also suspended were Kevin Sears and Brad Lester. I state today that Blackmon, who was suspended for several games earlier this year, is not done at Auburn. He's too good. They'll wait until the jury convicts and all appeals are exhausted before telling that guy he can't play anymore. Prove me wrong, Tubs.

-In better news for the Aubs, Quinton Groves is upholding Auburn tradition by not forgoing his senior year for the NFL. When was the last time the War Eagles lost a guy early? It seems like never.

-Bama has evidently been banned from recruiting at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Miami because their coach doesn't agree with the firing of Mike Shula. This is easily solved by Mal Moore offering the coach the head job in Tuscaloosa.

-Lastly, while Jimbo Fisher is too expensive for UAB, Georgia's Neil Callaway evidently is not. Calloway, master of the fullback trap, is the leading candidate for the UAB job. Finebaum will explode if he gets the job.
