During Kentucky’s coaching search, it became clear that there was a vocal group of Wildcat supporters who wanted their school to hire ex-Louisville and ex-Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino. Instead, only Auburn among SEC schools reached out to Petrino at all. And Kentucky AD Mitch Barnhart selected Florida State defensive coordinator Mark Stoops as his school’s new leader. Stoops’ first game with the Wildcats will come next August 31st at LP Field in Nashville against Western Kentucky. Across the field on the opposite sideline he’ll see none other than Petrino. If Kentucky’s athletic director watches his football program lose two years in a row to Western Kentucky, well, that’ll be bad enough. But if Petrino can thump the man Barnhart chose instead of him? Over him? Oh, the Cats’ AD will most assuredly hear about that one on talk radio stations across the state.For Cat fans looking for an upside to this odd twist, it could be that Barnhart will now be sufficiently motivated to provide anything and everything Stoops needs to build Kentucky’s football program. Vanderbilt has invested in its program and James Franklin has taken advantage. Stoops might be able to do the same if Barnhart starts backing his program financially. Petrino might provide the right motivation to make sure that happens.[/QUOTE

After suffering serious knee injuries in each of the past two seasons, South Carolina'sMarcus Lattimore isn't going to take any more chances in college football. Lattimore plans to enter the NFL draft, ESPN's Joe Schad reported on Monday. At this point in his career, having undergone surgeries to repair torn ligaments in both knees, Lattimore didn't have any easy options. It would have been a gamble to stay in school for another year. It's also a gamble to declare for the NFL draft when he's not going to be 100 percent.

The SEC is too good and too loaded with talent to award only first-team, All-SEC honors. The more I looked at our All-SEC team from earlier today, the more I realized how many outstanding players weren’t on there. So we aim to please here on the SEC blog and have come up with our second-team All-SEC selections:
