Not just your home town team, but the whole of the SEC.

I live in Atlanta and the Atlanta Journal Constitution is a complete and utter Piece of Shite. Covers UGA and Tech. Everybody else be fricked. Even to a certain extent Ga State, who is in town.

I couldnt find one SINGLE article about the Auburn LSU game today. Certainly not online or in their app version.

Bham News has Bama and Auburn but you can at least find game stories relevant to the conference. What about your local papers?

I know Pat Dooley in Gainesville does a good job.

Knoxville News Sentinel traditionally has also done a good job beyond the Vols.

AJC is just a steaming pile of shite for a paper.

The Advocate has one of the better sports sections I've ever read by just about any paper.

Absolutely. They do a very good job with the whole state in regards to High School Football as well.

IMO, The Tennessean has always done a pretty good job of covering the league as a whole.

I've read papers from many cities, including Sunday edition. The Advocate has one of the best sports sections going.

I know they're expanding their Saints coverage because they're about to start selling a New Orleans paper pretty soon.

Absolutely. I took the Advocate for granted until I moved to Gulfport and saw how shitty the Sun Herald is. The Advocate is awesome.

I don't really mind Skip because I don't take him seriously. Great troll.

Terence Moore was about as cool as a bag of dicks.

Skip pretty much embodies all that is wrong with ESPN.

The Advocate's Saturday Game Day edition is pretty great. It's a good preview for the LSU and Southern games, but also touches on other in-state schools and SEC schools.

And as bonus, it's got plenty of articles on the previous nights HS games.
