I did notice that MISSISSIPPI STATE is one of the few SEC teams not mentioned in the article.

Forty names, games, teams and minutiae making news in college football ("Spike the ball!" T-shirts sold separately -- and going fast at Cal-Berkeley [1]):</p><h2 class="subhead">Trashy Fans</h2>
The Southeastern Conference smacked Kentucky for $50,000 for its third violation of the league's sportsmanship policy in less than a year when the stands emptied at Commonwealth Stadium after the Wildcats shocked LSU on Saturday night. The Dash has no problem with that -- and no problem with the right of the overjoyed populace to flout the policy and storm the field, provided nobody gets seriously hurt.</p>
But it's time as well for the SEC to start nailing schools whose fans pelt the playing surface with debris during and/or immediately after games. If the goal is to ensure the safety of the players, then surely that should extend to protecting them from trash, bottles and flying high heels (2).</p>

<div style="WIDTH: 195px"><cite>Mark Zerof/US Presswire</cite>The SEC fined Kentucky $50,000 for failing to prevent fans from rushing the field.</div></div></div>
</p>
Those were among the garage sale of projectiles fired onto the field Saturday at Mississippi (3) after officials overturned a call that could have given the Rebels a chance to tie or win against Alabama (4). Yes, a pair of red pumps wound up on Vaught-Hemingway Field, and they weren't on the feet of this year's homecoming queen.</p>
Rebels fans were taking a page from the Crimson Tide playbook, after Bama fans hurled dozens of cups, pom-poms and other flotsam at Georgia's celebrating players last month.</p>
A suggestion for the SEC to consider: The next time play is delayed for removal from the field of even a single object from the stands, penalize the home team 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct. Second time it happens, penalize it 30 yards. If it happens a third time, eject the head coach.</p>
And if it happens at the end of the game, as was the case at Alabama, assess the penalty on the first play from scrimmage in the next home game.</p>
Oh, and a fine would be OK with The Dash as well. Whatever it takes to reinforce the quaint notion that it's not permissible to act like spoiled 3-year-olds when your team loses.</p>
It's been a great year of SEC football and a sorry year of SEC fan comportment. Not only from Alabama and Ole Miss, but at Florida (5) (where fans threatened the towing company owner who dared turn in safety Tony Joiner for trying to retrieve a car from impoundment at 5 a.m.) and LSU (6) (Tigers fans reportedly left hundreds of obnoxious messages on Florida QB <font color="#225fb2">Tim Tebow</font>'s cell phone).</p>
Given all that, The Dash gives props to two coaches with much better manners than their fans.</p>
Georgia coach Mark Richt (7) forcibly discouraged his players from jumping on the Vanderbilt logo after beating the Commodores on a last-play field goal. "It was a bunch of baloney," Richt told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.</p>
And LSU coach Les Miles (8) went out of his way after a heartbreaking loss to find winning coach Rich Brooks (9) and apologize for not shaking his hand amid the on-field melee Saturday night.</p>

College football is a zero-sum game, which means that for every Rich Brooks success story in the coaching ranks there is someone on his way out of a job. Here in the second half of this enjoyably nonsensical season, these are the 10 men feeling the most heat:</p><font color="#333333">Bill Callahan (10)</font>, Nebraska
Year: 4th.</p>
</p><div class="mod-inline image image-right"><div style="WIDTH: 195px; MARGIN-LEFT: 10px">
<div style="WIDTH: 195px"><cite>AP Photo/Dave Weaver</cite>Bill Callahan and the Huskers have suffered back-to-back blowout losses.</div></div></div>
</p>
Record: 4-3 this year, with the final five opponents all owning winning records. At 26-18 overall, Callahan has the lowest winning percentage of any Cornhuskers coach since Bill Jennings (1957-61).</p>
Breaking point: Consecutive blowout losses to Missouri (41-6) and Oklahoma State (45-14), the latter being the worst loss in Lincoln since the Jennings days. Okie State's 38 first-half points were the most Nebraska has ever allowed before halftime.</p>
Sticking point: Callahan got a contract extension before the season that would make canning him more expensive, but don't look for that to be an insurmountable obstacle.</p>
Bad stat: Callahan is 3-8 against ranked opponents, and two of those wins were over counterfeit teams who were gone from the AP Top 25 by season's end.</p>
Chances of survival: About the same as the nation's capital relocating to Grand Island. When the guy who hired him, athletic director Steve Pederson (11), gets whacked at midseason, Callahan should know that his number will be called next.</p><font color="#333333">Dennis Franchione (12)</font>, Texas A&M
Year: 5th</p>
</p><div class="mod-inline image image-right"><div style="WIDTH: 195px; MARGIN-LEFT: 10px">
<div style="WIDTH: 195px"><cite>AP Photo/LM Otero</cite>The Aggies are 1-4 against Texas Tech under Dennis Franchione.</div></div></div>
</p>
Record: 5-2 this year, with the final five opponents all owning winning records -- and four of them on the road. Franchione is 30-25 overall at A&M, just 17-18 in the Big 12 -- not what the school had in mind when it gave him a $2 million-per-year contract to leave Alabama.</p>
Breaking point: Revelation of big-dollar booster newsletter in apparent violation of NCAA rules, Big 12 bylaws and Franchione's contract definitely hurt. So did an embarrassing Thursday night loss to Miami and a four-touchdown loss to Texas Tech on Saturday.</p>
Sticking point: A buyout would cost a whopping $8.5 million, according to The Dallas Morning News. Unless, of course, Fran's VIP Newsletter scam gives the university cause to release him.</p>
Bad stat: It's not just that Franchione is 1-4 against rival Texas Tech and Mike Leach; it's that he's been blown out in three of the four losses.</p>
Chances of survival: When your own "insider VIP boosters" are ratting you out and nobody in the A&M administration is sprinting to give Fran a vote of confidence beyond year's end, it ain't a good sign.</p><font color="#333333">Houston Nutt (13)</font>, Arkansas
Year: 10th.</p>
</p><div class="mod-inline image image-right"><div style="WIDTH: 195px; MARGIN-LEFT: 10px">
<div style="WIDTH: 195px"><cite>ey Hitt/Getty Images</cite>The Razorbacks are 38-39 in SEC games under Houston Nutt.</div></div></div>
</p>
Record: 3-3 this year, with three crushing tumble-from-the-lead losses. Nutt is 70-47 at Arkansas but has now slipped back below .500 in SEC games (38-39).</p>
Breaking point: After dealing with angry players, meddling parents and mutinous fans during the offseason from hell, even going undefeated wouldn't make it all go away. But a 0-3 SEC start -- with South Carolina, Tennessee and LSU to go -- could be the deal breaker. Nutt tacitly acknowledged the crisis Sunday by pointing out to reporters that his contract runs 'til 2012.</p>
Sticking point: Who will make the call here? New athletic director Jeff Long, who replaces icon Frank Broyles, or chancellor John White? </p>
Bad stat: Arkansas' three wins this season (Troy, North Texas, Chattanooga) come against teams with an average Sagarin Rating of 131.</p>
Chances of survival: Dwindling faster than Darren McFadden's chances of winning the Heisman.</p>

You don't get it. The reason your Ole Miss buddies are ragging you today is because you, or at least your fans, have spent so much time ragging us over throwing stuff through the years. When your fans do it, you can expect to hear about it because of that. It's not that our idiot fans are above it. It's that you (or at least some of your fans) pretended your idiot fans were above it, and they proved they aren't.
It's like when you have a player get arrested for a DUI. You're going to hear about it from your buddies because you, or some of your other fans, gave your buddy hell the last time one of our players got arrested. You're being told that you were the pot calling our kettle black.

with being rivals. All rivals do the same ****. Ya'll throw high heels, we make fun. Ya'll have the KKK, we make fun. We send texts and throw bottles, you make fun. That's just how it goes. I, personally think some of the stuff is pretty funny.
When my Dad got into his office today, some of the UM people in his office had put empty water bottles all over the place.

I'm still disappointed that it didn't turn into a tradition for our girls to wear red high heels to games regardless of the dress they wear. Of course that would never take off with our women to do something like that.
you could get them to just wear red high heels and nothing else, your fanbase would increase ten fold. Hell I think I'd be a regular in the grove.
