SouthernPigskin.com started as a mere late night concept five years ago and has evolved into the leading name in southern college football coverage. We love the sport in general, but have a special place in our heart for the ACC, SEC and Southern Conference.

We are as passionate fans of the game as there are. We grew up in the South. We grew up with Saturdays trumping school days. We grew up with our priorities set the right way. No college football website on the internet is more frequently updated. 100% of our content is original and written by the SouthernPigskin.com staff. Browse the site and read a few stories. Stop by the message boards and express your opinion.

We think you will feel our passion for the game.
