Commissioners asked for new DHR building By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor

Imagine two people and their desks “in offices no larger than a broom closets.” That’s the way the building that houses Tallapoosa County offices Department of Human Services was described to the Tallapoosa County Commissioners Monday. Alabama DHR Commissioner for Administrative Services Joel Marsh made a presentation to the commissioners, making a case for a new facility for DHR.

“The current building is just not meeting our needs anymore,” Marsh said. “It’s simply too small and without some extensive renovations, we don’t think it could be something that we could continue to use long-term.” Marsh outlines a process that would allow for a new building to be constructed, without it costing the county anything. In other locations, county commissioners have set up public building authorities, then Mitch Sneed / The Outlook secure bonds using the state’s credit rating. Alabama DHR Commissioner for Administrative Services Joel Marsh explains the See COMMISSIONERS, Page 5 need for a new building to the Tallapoosa County Commissioners Monday.

Work session on public works raises set for Thursday

By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor

A decision on the pay raises that were part of a reorganization plan in public works will again have to wait. The Alexander City City Council voted 4-2 to table taking action, instead setting a work session for Thursday at 5 p.m. in the conference room at city hall on the raises. It’s not the first time action was delayed on the public works reorganization. At the council’s last meeting the subject was also put on hold, but despite not having a work session as planned, the item was again placed on the agenda. Monday night, councilman Billy Ray Wall called for work session to get more information. In previous discussions, Public Works Director and City Engineer Gerard Brewer said the increases would actually save the city money and make the department more efficient. Through retirements and consolidation of duties, some employees would see increases, but the number of supervisors and actual employees would be reduced. The item is part of a group of raises that were approved by Mayor Charles Shaw, but were not approved by council, as is required according to City Attorney See COUNCIL, Page 5

Right, Jakya Leigh Sims reacts to being named Little Miss Sun Festival. The third annual Sun Festival continues today with nine events planned across the city.

From tears to cheers, the third annual Alexander City Sun Festival is off to a great start with a weekend of events in the books A Miss Sun Festival was crowned Saturday, runners took to the streets for the 5K Glow Run Saturday night and a downtown block party was the highlight of Sunday’s events. Saturday’s events could be best summed up by the emotional images the Sun Festival events produced. Even if you aren’t a big fan of beauty pageants, it’s hard to imagine anyone who didn’t get a little misty when Jakya Leigh Sims won the Little Miss Sun Festival crown in her first pageant. When her name was announced, he reaction was priceless as that big smile turned to tears as the genuine shock of what happened hit her. “I couldn’t believe it,” Simms said afterwards. “I didn’t mean to cry, but I was so surprised, because the other girls were so nice and pretty. But they said my name and I couldn’t help See FESTIVAL, Page 9

DEAR ABBY: “Concerned in Massachusetts” (Feb. 20) used her status as a hospital employee to access her husband’s medical records and found a history of STDs. I’m a registered nurse with 40 years’ experience. Every healthcare organization I know of teaches all their employees about HIPAA violations and that accessing private patient medical information is a criminal offense. It is essential that patients know they can trust us to protect their privacy. We have specific policies against using one’s employee status to access a relative’s medical information. “Concerned” is lucky she still has a job. At my institution, she would be terminated for violating organizational policy and federal law. She wouldn’t have to worry about how to broach the subject with her husband; she’d be explaining why she was fired. He may not be a saint, but neither is she. Her actions were unacceptable and reflect a clear lack of integrity and honesty. -- SAFEGUARDING THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY DEAR SAFEGUARDING: Thank you for your informed

DEAR ABBY Advice

response. You are not the only reader who was appalled at what “Concerned” had done. Read on: DEAR ABBY: Like “Concerned’s” husband, I, too, am labeled as high risk for STDs based on a medical survey I completed, although I have had a monogamous 30-year marriage and do not do drugs of any kind. In that survey, they asked how many partners I had in my lifetime. Those few other partners were before I met my wife. “Concerned” indicated that her husband had been treated twice for STDs “some years back.” What does that mean? Were they married then? If not, is he labeled high risk due to his previous behavior? Perhaps there is something deeper in the relationship that needs address-

Our

Opinion

Wanted: People with something to say

here is no better time than the holiday season to get something off your mind. A letter to the editor or a guest column published in The Outlook is the best way we know to say what’s on your mind and to reach people in the Lake Martin community. Here are some good reasons to speak out: ■ If you would like to voice an opinion on a topic that impacts a number of residents. ■ If you want to call attention to someone or some group that has achieved something noteworthy. ■ If you want to thank someone who has gone of their way to help you. ■ If you see a problem in our community and you’d like to suggest a solution. Whatever you have to say, we’d like to help you say it – for free. Just write us a letter or a guest column. We have a few rules designed to help get your thoughts published accurately. First, we require all letters be signed and include a phone number. We won’t publish your phone number, but we will call and confirm that the writer is genuine. In rare instances, we may publish a letter to the editor without including the writer’s name if the letter passes a strict three-pronged test: we have confirmed that the letter is legitimate, revealing the writers’ name would cause harm and publishing the letter is in the best interest of our community. The main difference between a letter to the editor and a guest column is the length. Letters are limited to about 250 words. Guest columns can be twice that length and include a photo of the writer. The best way to get a column or letter to us is to email it to editor@alexcityoutlook.com. We also accept letters on paper, delivered to our office at 548 Cherokee Road, Alexander City, or delivered by mail to Editor, The Outlook, P.O. Box 999, Alexander City, AL 35011. Your right to speak out as a citizen, and our right to publish your opinion, is protected by the First Amendment. Exercise your right.

Rumpus Chumpus Trumpus brings noise to election

or all those bemoaning the lack of noise in the Republican presidential sweepstakes, it’s time to get down on our knees and give thanks to Donald Trump because whatever that man touches turns to loud. He’s the gift that keeps on blaring. Has all the delicate innuendo of concrete curtain rods. Not just a loose cannon, more like a loose aircraft carrier. To say the campaign of the self-appointed captain of the S.S. Birther got off to a rocky start is like intimating that transatlantic telecommunications cables make substandard dental floss. Critics derided the guy who tried to trademark the phrase “you’re fired!” for hiring extras to pretend to be supporters at his announcement, but another way of looking at it is he’s already creating jobs. At the beginning of his diatribe where the word “I,” or “I’ve” or “I’m” was used 244 times (that doesn’t even include “me,” or “we” or “us”) the billionaire real estate developer trotted out some bizarre illegal immigrant harangue, accusing the Mexican government of sending drug- crazed rapists across the border. It’s the reason veteran politicians often employ scriptwriters and utilize teleprompters: so they don’t stick their foot so deep into their mouths they can tickle their spleen with

their shoelaces. And the price The Donald paid for his bout of verbal incontinence was shooting straight to the top of Republican polls. Sure, he and some of his brands were dropped by a couple of lilylivered corporations like Univision, Farouk Systems, NASCAR, Serta, the PGA, Televisa, NBC Universal & Macy’s. But not all is lost; rumors abound that both Animal Planet and SyFy are interested in producing a mini-series about his hair. Conservative conspiracy theorists accuse Trump of being a Democratic mole whose subversive goal is to make them look like intolerant cretins. But seeing how they’re the ones who spent the last 45 years crocheting the ass hat, they can’t be surprised when some idiot picks it off the shelf and waltzes around in it. Trump not only refused to apologize, he doubled down and stands behind his bigoted assault. “People stop me on the street and tell me I’m right.” Donny. Baby. You live in New York City. People there say crazy stuff all the time. “My clothes hamper has wings and is

made out of aluminum.” “Alex Rodriguez is acting like a real human.” Trump is to presidential politics what hot dog eating is to the Olympics. He makes Sarah Palin look like a sober distinguished parliamentarian. And what if he does win the nomination? Who could he possibly pick as vice president to make him look presidential? Dick Cheney? Joe Biden? Urkel was a fictional character. Mr. Bean was born on foreign soil. Adam Sandler is dead. Well, his career is, anyway. You almost get the feeling that Trump isn’t as excited about becoming Commander-in-Chief as he is with forcing a black family with two young daughters out of their Washington D.C. home. But love him or hate him, you got to admit, it’s pretty exciting to finally be able to answer that plaintive query: “How long before America proves itself a world class power by fielding a presidential candidate with a cologne named after him?” That time, my friends, at last has come.

Letters to the Editor

Area youth can benefit from organzied activity and local tournaments Dear Editor, I noticed the Lake Monsters Youth Travel Baseball organization was taking donations in front of Wal-Mart this weekend. I stopped and talked to the leaders, Adam Rollins and Cody Glenn, before providing them with any funds to learn more about why they were collecting money. This organization is offering area youth the opportunity to participate in a baseball program that focuses not only on improving the athletic ability and fitness of our youth, but also developing their character while providing a structured, safe, and fun environment. The coaches are volunteering their time with two teams made up of 7, 8 and 9 year old kids to practice three days a week and have the goal of taking these teams around the local area to play competitive baseball through the fall. I also learned the Alexander City Parks and Rec will be hosting several of the travel baseball tournaments here as well, so there is a great opportunity for the local youth to participate at a lower expense. I think this is a tremendous benefit to the youth

of this community and the surrounding area to be able to participate in this type of organized activity, and having local tournaments here that bring in patrons to our town will also be very beneficial. I am so proud to see that we have members willing to donate their time and so many supportive members in the community that donated to this organization over the weekend. I also think it’s fantastic that the Alex City Parks and Rec is bringing these events to our town. I gladly donated to their cause and wanted to share my thanks to them for starting this in our town. They are excited about the opportunity to reach more kids and provide an arena in which the Lake Martin area kids can have the opportunities you only find in larger cities. With the support of the community, I believe we can allow this organization to flourish while keeping the costs to parents and guardians low. Jeremy Strickland Alexander City

America is still a work in progress when it comes to individual liberties Dear Editor, The last few weeks have proven that America is a work in progress. Americans have the freedom to air and accept our differences. We honor our common quest for a more perfect union even as we disagree on what it looks like, let alone how to achieve it. As we have observed on past Independence Days, the beauty and durability of the founding fathers work is that they recognized it as being neither divine or infallible. The principles they advanced were sound, simple and spare, with

room for interpretation and adaptation to a changing world. The framers of our Constitution could not have contemplated the marriage of same-sex couples, but the framework they established for respect of individual liberties proved a guiding light in the landmark Supreme Court ruling on marriage equality. Ron Lowe Nevada City, California

We’d like to share your thoughts and opinions with the greater Lake Martin community. It’s free and it only takes a few moments of your time. We have two ways to get your opinion in print: letters to the editor and guest columns. The main difference is length.

Council Larkin Radney. As a result, the council rejected salary increases for Shaw’s executive secretary, a raise for the human resources director and pay hikes for nine employees at the Adams Water Treatment Plant. On a related item, the council voted 5-1 to lift the hiring freeze it enacted for positions that were in the current budget. The council had approved a freeze as a result of the questions regarding approval of raises and new hires. In a non-agenda item, Birmingham attorney Kristen Osborne addressed the council on behalf of Top Flight Gymnastics. A year ago the city leased a building and gymnastic equipment to Corn Benson , who has since operated Live To Tumble Academy. Osborne said that

continued from page 1

Top Flight would like to be part of the bidding process this year if possible. “Top Flight is interested in renting the equipment or buying it outright if the city be so inclined to do so,” Osborne said. “While you don’t legally have to put such items up for bid, you certainly are allowed to do that. We would like to be included in any type of bidding that would be involved in this process.” In other moves the council: • By a 3-3 deadlock, a bid for construction of concrete walk path, which is funded by requisition No. 15-19, failed to gain approval. Jim Spann, Bob Howard and Billy Ray Wall voted for the resolution, while Bobby Tapley, Sherry Ellison-Simpson and Tony Goss voted against the measure. The path would have been built at the soccer complex.

Commissioners The county would actually own the building, but would lease the building back to DHR and the rent paid by the agency would repay the bonds. “Yes, the county would own the building, but we would pay for it through the lease payments. That money would satisfy the bonds,” Marsh said. “We would be responsible for all maintenance. The only requirement would be that the county would supply the land. In most cases it is between three to four acres. Other than that, there would be no cost to the county. The other catch is that we need to move forward relatively quickly.” Marsh said the same method has been used in about 35 counties to replace aging facilities. He said that ideally the site would be centrally located. Tallapoosa County Board of Commissioners Chairman T.C, Coley said a resolution would be drawn up and possible parcels would be identified. “We have another meeting in three weeks and we could take it up then,” Coley said. “I know there is a need and it sounds like this is a method that makes sense. WE do what we have to do on our end and then hope-

continued from page 1

fully take some action at our next meeting.” In another key move, the commissioners voted 4-0 to approve a job description for a community corrections director. The job would pay between $33,000 and $46,000 and the person would be responsible for initiating and handling the dayto-day operations of the new state-mandated community corrections program. The approval means that the job could be posted and the search begin by the week’s end. In other action, the commissioners: Voted 4-0 to name Alexander City Deputy Police Chief Jay Turner to the 9-1-1 board. Voted 4-0 to vacate a portion of Gilmore Road. Voted 4-0 to seek bids for the highway department. Voted 4-0 to approve a retail beer and table wine license for Bay Pines Marina. Voted 4-0 to approve the 2012 International Building Code beginning in 2016. Voted 4-0 to allow the sheriff’s department to apply for a $50,000 grant from the USDA. The money would be used to replace the jail control system, which has been in place since 1992. Voted 4-0 to approve a proclamation honoring 25-year employee Deborah Bamburg.

Burglaries

“At Chevron, the suspects smashed the door, got in and grabbed what they could and got out,” Turner said. “Primarily they took cartons of cigarettes and cigars.” The incident at Jackson’s Drugs happened at about 3 a.m. Monday morning. There, the suspects actually pried the doors off, Turner said. “They targeted drugs and lots of them,” Turner said. “From hydrocodone, to oxycotin and other painkillers, it was obvious they knew what they were after.” He said there is video from all locations, but only vague descriptions could be made from the video. Turner said it was too early to say if any or all of the incidents were related. He said the two convenience store burglaries were similar, but the Jackson’s burglary was different in some respects. “The clothing was not the same at Chevron and Jackson’s and the way they got in was

different,” Turner said. “The county is working the Walnut Hill burglary, but from what I understand, it was much like the Chevron where

they smashed their way in and took the same type items.” The police have posted a picture of one of the suspects from the

so try to use more self-discipline. Tonight: The world is your oyster. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) --Your energy soars. What could possibly stop you at this point? You seem to be much more together right now, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make a strong impression no matter what you do. If you have an important situation pending, push it forward. Tonight: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop now. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) --Say little, and concentrate on a project or your work. The less involved you are, the more successful the outcome will be. You also might need some personal time to rethink a decision or maybe just snooze. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow anyone to slow you down. Tonight: Take a walk. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) --Open up a discussion in the most positive way possible. Loosen up; a friendship could play a signiÂżcant role in what happens. Remain sure of yourself, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lessen the importance of your needs. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t back down on a matter thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to you. Tonight: Find your friends. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) --You might feel pressured by someone in a position of authority. You know your limits, but does this person recognize them? You could feel burdened by a set of commitments and responsibilities. Let others know that you have had enough. Tonight: In the limelight. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) --You have a way about you that implies that you can handle anything. Your plate is full, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have an opportunity to take a short trip or switch gears. You are full of energy and open to possibilities. As a result, doors will open. Tonight: Know what you want. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) --You might be in the mood for a close encounter. You would like to see life from a more logical point of view. A discussion with a key person in your life will help you bottom-line what is happening. Understanding will evolve as a result.

JACQUELINE BIGARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S STARS ARIES (March 21-April 19) --You will understand what is happening if you step back and let others reveal their thoughts. You could be taken aback by a change of pace. Honor what is happening around you, and if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go along with it, head in a new direction. Tonight: Say â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? to an offer. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --Your creativity remains high. The issue seems to be applying your unique ability to what is happening right now. Lighten up about a situation, and know what lies ahead. Someone close to you seems detached and cold. Understand that this is just a phase. Tonight: Make it merry. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --You might feel as if you are Âżnally justiÂżed in a choice you have made. Be careful here, as you could burn some bridges. Lighten up about a personal matter that is close to your heart, and watch as new possibilities appear. Tonight: Act as if there were no tomorrow. CANCER (June 21-July 22) --You might want to make a call Âżrst thing in the morning, especially if it is important. Your ability to move forward and come to terms with a personal matter could change. You know what you need to do. Handle a domestic issue before the day ends. Tonight: The party begins now. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --It would be smart to get over your fussiness quickly, as you will be dealing with a lot of people at once. It seems as if all you are seeing is what you want to see, and nothing more. Be careful, as it might be your distortions that upset the apple cart. Tonight: Hang out. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --You might have a sense that a problem has gone too far. How you handle a personal matter could change this situation. Listen to your instincts, and you will land well. Your expenses might be out of whack,

THE FINAL COUNTDOWN With first practice two weeks away, coaches prepare to play by new rules

By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

The first practice of the 2015 high school football season is officially less than two weeks away, as local coaches are preparing to install their strategy for the new year while also adapting to new rules. This past spring the Alabama High School Athletic Association Central Board adopted new safety guidelines to limit full-speed contact practices. Horseshoe Bend Coach Jason Franklin said the biggest question is what does and does not constitute contact during the course of a practice. “That second week (of practice), you have to manage your 120 minutes a week for the week of preseason as far as contact,” Franklin said. “We’ll know on Thursday as far as what they’re looking for out of that, what they’re counting as the 120 minutes and what is classified as contact. That’s what we’re uncertain of right now. If you’re doing a drill and you’re just kind of hitting up against each other, is that contact? Or will it be 11-on-11 where players are taking each other to the ground? That’s what I think most coaches are unsure of right now is how that’s going to play out. We’ll learn more Thursday at the rules meeting.” That meeting will be the AHSAA rules clinic in Montgomery. According to the new guidelines, the first two days of fall practice will be in shorts and helmets, followed by shoulder pads and helmets on the third day not to exceed 90 minutes. On the fourth day, shoulder pads and helmets are to be used with the practice not exceeding 120 minutes.

On the fifth practice day, one fullspeed contact practice, not to exceed 90 minutes of full-speed contact is allowed. Week two would allow alternating days of full-speed contact practice, not to exceed a combined total of 120 minutes of full-speed contact practice per week. In addition, one intra-squad scrimmage would be allowed in week two. Beginning week 3, alternating days of fullspeed contact practice, not to exceed a combined total of 120 minutes of full-speed contact practice per week, will be permitted. One interscholastic scrimmage or contest will be allowed in week three, while 90 minutes of full-speed contact practice is permitted week four through the end of the season. Dadeville Coach Richard White said the new rules will not have much effect on the Tigers, as Dadeville has limited the amount of contact in practices since switching to a spread offense. “It’s not going to affect us as much because we’ve practically been doing that anyway. I feel like you don’t need to hit every day in practice,” White said. “There are certainly some things you need to work on like tackling, but it’s mainly a mindset with your kids when it comes to that. In my book, you go out there and beat each other up for an hour or an hour and a half, you’re not accomplishing much. There are some times where you need to scrimmage to see where you are and those type things, but I think you can get what you need to get done in full pads in a 15-20 minute period depending on what you’re trying to do.” As for both programs, coaches said the first week of fall practices will not be much

different from years past, with the fundamentals of their respective schemes taking center stage. “We’ve already started working schemewise and on our practice schedule and things like that, as far as looking at what we’ll be able to do every week with contact timewise,” Franklin said. “The first week is pretty much mostly in just helmets anyway, so you don’t have to worry about contact as much until the end of the week when you usually put on the pads.” “The main thing we look to do is go in and work on fundamentals and make sure they understand what techniques we do,” White said. “Then we’ll start implementing our base defense, offense and kicking game.” White said one thing that coaches will be more keenly aware of during the first week is making sure players do not overheat. “You’re going to have to get acclimated to the heat, that’s the main thing. It’s going to be hot when you start putting on helmets and shoulder pads, you’re going to have to keep an eye on your kids and make sure they don’t overheat,” White said. “There may come a couple of times where when we get full pads on we’ll do what we need to do for 30 or 40 minutes then let them take their shoulder pads off to cool their body down.” And once teams do officially suit up in full pads, Franklin said coaches will be ready to carry out the purpose of those new practice guidelines: making the game safer for everyone. “We’ll adapt,” Franklin said. “We’re all just trying to make this game safer and make sure it will last for a long time.”

North beats South in 56th AHSAA All-Star game MONTGOMERY – The North All-Stars captured the 56th AHSAA All-Star Football Game at Cramton Bowl Friday night with a 14-13 victory over the South.

Robinson makes his SEC predictions for 2015 A

nother year, another round of SEC predictions from myself and Andy Graham. My logic-based, unbiased prognostications are listed below. The first prediction is that Andy’s column tomorrow will have Auburn winning the SEC West, the SEC Championship, the College Football Playoff and the Pillsbury National Pie Baking Contest, but I digress. On to the picks… SEC East: 1. Missouri: BOOM! Shocker right off the bat! Before you think this pick discredits the rest of the them, hear me out. 1. No one predicted Mizzou to win the East in ’13 or ’14 either. 2. Returning QB who has shown flashes of brilliance (intertwined with the terribleness) 3. The schedule is the most manageable of any East competitor. I am not super confident in this selection, but I am not bucking this Show Me State trend. 2. Georgia: The Dawgs get Mizzou at home, but they also have the daunting SEC West crossover games between ‘Bama

LUKE ROBINSON Sports Columnist

and Auburn. I love RB Nick Chubb and there is talent all over the field for UGA, but the schedule is not in their favor and coach Mark Richt has missed on bigger opportunities with better teams. 3. Tennessee: Tennessee will be a much better team in ’15 than they were in ’14, but I am not sold that the record reflects it. The UT-Oklahoma game could tell us early how the Vol’s season will go. 4. Florida: Yikes… It gets dicey from here on out. I am taking the Gators over the remaining others but …WOW. There is a mess in Gainesville that a Swiffer mop may not be able to clean up anytime soon. 5. South Carolina: After picking them to win the division

last year (only to be sorely disappointed) I am beginning to think that the Ol’ Ball Coach is turning into just an old ball coach. 6. Kentucky: “Hey! We’re better than Vandy!” 7. Vanderbilt: “We are Vandy.” SEC West: 1. Alabama: But I am REALLY not confident about this selection either. QB issues, a scary slate of games and no established leader all worry me. However, the defensive front seven is disgustingly good and ‘Bama has won big in the past without star power at quarterback, so I will give the Tide the nod. 2. Texas A&M: Shocker No. 2. Here’s the deal though: IF people are jumping on the AU bandwagon after an 8-5 season because of a new defensive coordinator and a promising QB, then it stands to reason to feel the same about A&M, right? The Aggies bring back one of the best WR corps in the country, they beat Auburn last year and TAMU gets Auburn and ‘Bama at home.

3. Auburn: I could easily see AU winning the West (and even more), but there are concerns that many fans want to just gloss over. Is Johnson really THAT good? Can Muschamp redeem his coaching career? The bottom line is I think any of these first three squads is good enough to make the College Football Playoff and I flipped a threesided coin to get this order. 4. Arkansas: I love the Hawgs’ direction because they are developing a personality. They just don’t have the horses to run with the aforementioned West teams yet. 5. LSU: It feels weird putting the Tigers in the fifth slot, but where else can I go with them? The QB issues seem more dire than they do at ‘Bama or other schools and I believe Les Miles has lost a little of his magic. 6. Ole Miss: OK, I have LSU ahead of Ole Miss, but I would feel more confident in saying that the Rebs have a better chance at winning this division than LSU. That statement may not make a lot of sense; I am just rolling with it.

7. Miss State: The Dawgs’ bring back the league’s best QB, yet I see a steep decline in victories from last year. Their matchup with LSU early on is huge in determining which of those teams will have a shot. SEC Champion: Alabama.... I’ll admit: this pick is more “homer” than “confidence.” The picks are universally all over the board – Some are picking LSU and Arkansas to win the SEC! I am going with hardnosed defense, experience and solid special teams over the promise of offense. SEC Offensive Player of the Year: Nick Chubb, Georgia... No Todd Gurley, no problem. SEC Defensive Player of the Year: Derek Barnett, Tennessee.... A sleeper selection, but he is very, very good. SEC Coach of the Year: Kevin Sumlin, Texas A&M.... Gary Pinkel of Mizzou will be deserving as well. So that’s it. My 2015 predictions that are sure to be wrong – yet oddly still better than Andy’s. Robinson is a sports columnist for The Outlook.
