South Carolina the number 1 ranked team in the nation was eliminated from the SEC Tournament Friday night by Georgia. I believe this is a blessing in disguise for the Gamecocks. It was last year and with all the injuries I think a few extra days off will be good for them. Ray Tanner may not think so especially if he puts them through  2 a days like he did last year. I have a feeling they will spend a lot of time in the batting cages before playing in the regionals.

Georgia had to win to keep their regional hopes alive. You cannot get into a regional with a losing record so Georgia (30-29) needs to beat Florida on Saturday to keep their season alive.

Phil Steele’s 2011 Preseason All-SEC Football Team is out and available on his blog. On the first team Alabama has 3 players on offense and 4 on the defense. South Carolina and Arkansas have 2 players on the first team offense and 2 on the first team defense. Freshman Jadevon Clowney is on the 3rd team as a DE. Quite a feat without having played a down of college football.

Most teams will start their summer workouts the first week of June. QB Stephen Garcia is expecting to be back with the South Carolina  team by then unless he screws up over the holiday weekend.  Don’t think that will happen. You have to think they have someone shadowing him everywhere he goes.

I look for Vanderbilt and Florida to play in the finals Sunday for the SEC Baseball Tournament Championship. I don’t think Georgia has enough pitching left to advance.

Former Florida running back Mike Blakely has transferred to Auburn. He will have to sit out a year before being eligible.
