The wolrd of big time college football can almost seem like a comic book at times. Sometimes things happen and they can't really be explained, but the SEC is just downright strange. The similarities and nuances of the SEC are eerily similar to that of one of the more popular comic book tales of all time, Batman.
Gotham City-the SEC. Gotham is seen as a city full of crime, grime and corruption. The SEC is seen as…a conference full of crime, grime, and corruption.
The Riddler-Houston Nutt. Former head coach at Ole Miss and Arkansas. Nutt has never been a bigtime coach, and how he seems to keep getting high profile head coaching jobs confuses almost everyone.
The Joker- Joker Phillips, head coach at Kentucky. Too easy
Mr. Freeze- Hugh Freeze, new head coach at Ole Miss. Once again, way too easy.
The Mad Hatter. Les Miles- head coach at LSU. Pretty self explanatory, but the head man on the bayou has a knack for pulling out the close games, despite some head-scratching playcalling from time to time.
Two Face.Nick Saban- head coach at Alabama. “I don’t know how much clearer I can say this, I will not be the next head coach at Alabama.” Forty-eight hours later, he is in Tuscaloosa being introduced as the new head elephant.
Batman. Mike Slive- SEC commissioner. Fans are not always sure of his motives, but it always seems that Slive stands up for the good of the conference.
Tweedledee and Tweedledum.The Petrino Brothers-Head coach and offensive coordinator at Arkansas. The two brothers begin the second stint in control of the Hogs, despite not being able to get past that pesky Saban and Miles.
The Penguin. Gene Chizik- head coach at Auburn. Chizik led the Tigers to the promised land in 2010, and had a few trick “umbrellas” along the way to get there.
Dr. Hugo Strange.Paul Finebaum. Nationally syndicated SEC radio show host. Finebaum uses his position, the serum, to give his opinion and manipulate the minds of the SEC fans into becoming mindless brutes that kill trees and whatnot.
