When the commissioner of the @SEC recommends the book you wrote about the SEC...that's a pretty dang good day!
Greg Sankey@GregSankey

3 weeks from kickoff…Summer 📖 #19 is SEC FOOTBALL: HOW A REGIONAL LEAGUE BECAME A NATIONAL OBSESSION by @ColbNewton (well written/well researched) “I don’t think people really understand that recruiting never sleeps” “This year’s accomplishments are next year’s expectations”

I'm always tickled that people still bring up my book "Bowls, Polls and Tattered Souls" after all these years. It recently came to my attention that, 19 years later, it's now available as an audiobook. Never read it? Good news: You don't have to. amazon.com/Bowls-Polls-Ta…

@conorsen Makes you think they will move quicker than tennis did to eliminate the human element of calling balls/strikes and let the computer do it.

Congrats @MattBarrie on the new gig hosting SEC Nation! I wrote a book published by Bloomsbury about the SEC and how it became the obsession of CFB fans everywhere. It was endorsed by Sean McDonough, Stewart Mandel, and Verne Lundquist. I’d love to send you a free copy, DM me if you are interested!

Have been screaming for years that college football needed to grab this window. P12 and B12 especially. Massive viewership opp but tricky logistics and HCs resist. But again, they are not inclined to do what's best for the game and should be removed from decision process.
Colby Newton@ColbNewton

CFB misses out again by not being forward thinking. Pretty sure @wilnerhotline has been advocating a conference (Pac 12 - hello) take advantage of this night for years

Working on a story for @gritcfb about this play and noticed that Sean McDonough and @GregMcElroy are silent for 30 seconds. That is an eternity in broadcasting. A great example of why they are the best announcers in CFB. youtu.be/a97bWQHE9lc?si…

@sportslogosnet These are cool for sure. But I hope it doesn’t lead to more tinkering. The Tigers white uniforms are the very best in all of sports.

It's official! The Detroit Tigers have two new uniforms for 2026. After 30+ years, they finally add alternates, an orange home "D" + a navy road script "Detroit." Features a new roundel logo patch and navy/orange cap. Which one wins? ⬇️ news.sportslogos.net/2026/02/19/det…

@DanWetzel The SEC adding South Carolina and Arkansas might be the only realignment that ever truly worked out for a conference and the schools that joined.

Dan Wetzel@DanWetzel·
Please listen to the entire episode, the discussion is wide ranging -- and we certainly aren't advocating for this. Conference realignment has generally been a plague on the sport. However, certain schools could double or triple their revenue by going "independent" with a scheduling agreement. As @ReceDavis notes, Notre Dame's independence may be not just an echo from he past, but the future.

This part of @CollegeGameDay podcast with @ReceDavis has produced some “reaction” - would Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State ever bail on the Big Ten to do their own thing?
