2012 Signing Day Coverage (1:00 CT UPDATE)

Featured Story

  1. Georgia - Three out-of-state prospects helped launch UGA's offensive line class - this is a group that provides both depth and star potential. John Theus out of the Bolles School in Jacksonville (FL) is the headliner here.  2. Auburn - After an impressive OL haul last year, it seemed unlikely that Auburn would attract many top offensive linemen in 2012, but with the struggles up front during the past season this was still a position of need. Shane Callahan was a good pick-up out of Colorado, but the surprise of this group was stealing Patrick Miller from LSU. Avery Young added the exclamation point on NSD, and is the star of the AU class. 

3. Florida - The Gators landed two stars in Jessamen Dunker and D.J. Humphries. Humphries, in particular, is among the top OL prospects in this class. Both players are already enrolled and on campus, which should help provide quality depth leading into the spring.

 OKTC looked at how programs did in the passing game by combining all aspects - QB play, WR prospects and blocking/pass-catching TEs. It's important to note, though, that some schools had areas of need at WR but not QB.  1. Missouri - Quality rules over quantity here, as Dorial Green-Beckham and QB Maty Mauk stand out among the rest. Playmakers win games.  2. Alabama - Amari Cooper and Chris Black are two big targets from Florida. Alec Morris is a capable QB prospect out of Texas. Kurt Freitag is a solid pickup at TE. It's a balanced group.  3. Auburn - Zeke Pike is a huge run/pass threat at QB. Keeping Jaquay Williams and Ricardo Louis in the fold on NSD were huge accomplishments, as both are very good players and both seriously flirted with other programs. Ricky Parks is a big TE target to watch. 

 I love Alabama fans because y'all are crazy.

Last year you had a fax cam girl, this year you had a fax cam houndstooth skirt girl.

Starting early this morning y'all deluged my Twitter with pictures of the girl's outfit as we rolled to Indianapolis for the Super Bowl.

Granted, this wasn't the official Alabama fax feed, but the fact that a Bama fan would even think to couple sex with signing day? Well, that shows you why NSD stands for Nick Saban Day.

Yet again the Tide are at the top of the recruiting rankings.

And yet again Alabama is at the top of my heart.

Most teams have solidified the bulk of their recruiting classes, and as the final faxes roll in, we've taken a look at the best classes in the best conference in college football. With no more major surprises expected, here's a look at OKTC's final 2012 SEC recruiting rankings. How did your team stack up?

**Tomorrow on OKTC, look for full SEC position-by-position breakdowns, as well.

Anna Watson is a Georgia cheerleader.

And, as you can see from this photo, she has bigger biceps than you. And Aaron Murray. And me.

According to the Georgia student newspaper, she turned down a $75,000 modeling job that required her to use steroids. That's because, evidently, her biceps aren't big enough yet. Yikes.

Somewhere Aaron Murray is flexing his biceps and crying in front of the mirror.

The 50 Most Annoying Super Bowl Party Guests

Written by: Clay Travis

Every year Super Bowl parties bring together awkward groupings of people who are then forced to sit and watch a football game. Inevitably this drives me crazy. Primarily because I don’t understand why I should suddenly be forced to watch football games with people who haven’t bothered to watch a game all season. I mean, is there any other event that celebrates idiocy more? For instance, I don’t feel compelled to show up in New York City and crash some Broadway actors Tony Awards party. You know why? Because I don’t like musicals and haven’t even seen a Broadway play in the past five years. But I respect the fact that for someone who enjoys the Tony’s, it would be sort of annoying for me to begin the night by saying, “I just don’t understand how anyone could ever like a musical.” Yet, somehow, people arrive at Super Bowl parties and say things like, “I just don’t understand why the teams don’t score more touchdowns. Pass me a Zima,” with absolute impunity. It’s lucky these parties only have plastic utensils.

It wouldn't be recruiting season without a brewing controversy down South surrounding one of the nation's top five-star recruits, safety Landon Collins. As you can see from his Rivals offer list, everyone wanted the five-star safety -- LSU, Alabama, Florida State, Auburn, Florida, USC, Texas A&M, and Georgia all offered.

But ultimately the choice came down to the hometown LSU Tigers or their bitter rival the Alabama Crimson Tide.

You'll recall that Collins picked Alabama over LSU at the Under Armour all-star game, a decision that left his mother unhappy and sparked a viral video. 

But why was his mother unhappy? You need to read this interview. 

Mom wanted her son to attend LSU, the school much closer to home. So how did Alabama pull away Collins from the team his mom preferred? Generally you can't go wrong if you win over momma. Nick Saban didn't win over momma, indeed, momma felt that Saban "stereotyped" her. So Saban went after another woman: Collins' mom claims that Nick Saban promised a job to Collins's girlfriend.

Let's go to the interview:

"Was there anything else that didn't sit right with April? As it turned out there was. It had to do with Landon's girlfriend, Victoria. ESPN The Magazine reported about a confrontation between April and Victoria at the All-America Game after Landon's sister had urged her to stand onstage for his big announcement. April wanted only family in front of the camera. Landon's dad, Thomas, ended up having to intercede. When the cameras began rolling, there was Victoria standing directly behind Landon.

"What the (ESPN) article didn't mention, however, was the reason April was apparently upset, which may have tipped the scales in Alabama's favor. According to April, Victoria had allegedly been offered a job to work in head coach Nick Saban's office."  

Just in time for Super Bowl week to dawn in Indianapolis -- where 3HL will be broadcasting live on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday -- a Tennessee Titan fan has begun a viral internet campaign to bring Peyton Manning back to Tennessee. 

Meet: www.comehomepeyton.com 

The intent of the site is to buy billboards, radio ads, and create videos which are all designed to bring Peyton back to Tennessee. The site argues: "As Tennessean’s, born or bred, it has always been our duty to volunteer to come together to do all we can do to right a wrong or effect positive change in the world.  That is why we call upon you now to join us in sending  a message to Peyton Manning to come home to the state of Tennessee and play quarterback for the Tennessee Titans." 

First came the war of 1812 capped off by Tennessee Andrew Jackson, now comes the war to bring Peyton back to Tennessee.

I've got to say, opening email and reading Twitter feeds from you guys is always an adventure, but I never expected to see a parody of Eminem's "Lose Yourself," with changed lyrics arguing for Manning to return to Tennessee.

From the same guys who brought us: "We're Sorry Phil Fulmer."

(Which, sources told me, was the first rap song that Phil Fulmer ever listened to in its entirety.)

Teabagger's Lawyers Teabag Judicial Process

Written by: Clay Travis

Is it incredibly stupid that Brian Downing, the Alabama fan who teabagged an LSU fan in Krystal, faces years in prison for the act?

Yes.

Is it incredibly stupid for his lawyers to release a letter yesterday afternoon that says the murder rate is too high to prosecute a sexual assault?

Yes, yes, it is.
