Starts today, around 12:30.  Lasts from today through Friday.  Think anything interesting will come out of it?  Want to hear what the new coaches have to say?  Or watch Houston Nutt squirm?  I always like this three day period because it means the start of football season.

Here is a live blog updated every few minutes or so:

I've never really understood the hoopla over SEC media days.  So coaches get together for a few days and give as much coachspeak as possible.  Whoo. 

BUT.

It does mean football season is warming up.  WAR DAMN FOOTBALL!

YE OLDE COMMISSIONER MIKE SLIVE

    * He says: "We could be in a time that will be considered The Golden Age of the SEC."

    * He's noting the league's five national championships. That's Auburn swimming and diving, Florida football, LSU baseball, Georgia gymnastics and ... another one. Can't remember now.

    * One hundred fifty-nine SEC athletes won 51 medals in the Olympics. "If the SEC was a nation, we would have finished fourth in the medal count."

    * Fall games brought in 6.7 million fans last season. Led the nation again.

    * Spring games brought in 450,000 total.

    * League had 37 players drafted in April.

    * "That's the end of the brag pack for the moment."

    * "There is no safe harbor from the economic recession. We're fortunate that the league entered into its new television package when it did."

    * "There is no safe harbor from the technological revolution. We worked hard to retain the conference's digital rights. We are about to launch the SEC Digital Network."

    * He said they're upgrading the SEC's website and lots of that stuff.

    * "Secondary fractions ... are not new to the conference or the NCAA. In the SEC, secondary violations are reported to the conference office. We then review them. Every report is sent to the NCAA for a final review."

    * He acknowledged that some coaches assess situations with a risk-reward approach.

    * "Anytime they commit a secondary violation, they put themselves, the program, the conference and the prospect at risk."

    * "The SEC will be the most widely distributed conference in the nation this year."

    * He's rambling about the television deals.


      ESPN REPRESENTATIVE WHOSE IDENTITY IS A MYSTERY


    * He's reviewing all the stuff I posted yesterday ... ESPN's regional distribution plans for the Saturday morning games.

    * The ESPNU games will be televised in HD, though you may not see them in HD because of your provider's limitations. (I know ESPNU is not in HD on Dish Network.)

    * "No games will go untelevised."

    * They're going to create the "SEC Academic Network" ... using ESPN360 technology, they'll launch a site that promotes academic endeavors. (Seriously?)

    * They're showing a video promoting the ESPN/SEC partnership. The montage included a shot of Tommy Tuberville's mug. How long ago this video was produced?

      THAT'S A WRAP. Next up: Robert "Bob" Petrino

Auburn's Gene Chizik: Of quarterbacks, pressure at SEC Media Days
Posted by Charles Goldberg -- Birmingham News July 24, 2009 9:26 AM

Auburn coach Gene Chizik met the press at SEC Media Days on Friday and delivered a straight-forward preview/review of the Tigers, though had an interesting answer on the quarterback race.

Here are a few quick hits:

On the quarterback race:
(Auburn will have seven on campus when fall practice begins...)
``All of the sudden you have some young guys on campus. When you haven't locked it down, it means everybody'' has a chance. ``Obviously, people with experience have a little bit of a leg up.''

(Gold Mine advice: Don't make too much of that answer.)
 

On pressure of coaching:
``When you get into this profession, there's pressure everywhere. There's no more pressure put on Auburn football than what I put on our kids and myself. We put enough pressure on ourselves to be great.''

``We've set the foundation on what we want to do. The pressure is going to be there no matter what school you are at.

On his low-key approach:
``What gets you attention is when you win. This isn't about me. It's about Auburn.
Overall the years, when Auburn has gotten attention, it's because they've done something positive. That's what we want to do.''

On the reluctance to project how freshmen will do.
``I'm reluctant to talk about young players. I can't comment on it this early. We haven't even had a practice yet.

On the SEC West:
``It's not like SEC West championships are strangers to Auburn.''

On whether he voted Tim Tebow the All-SEC quarterback.
Yes, he did.

You didn't get the memo?

It was Spurrier. And then he rescinded his vote to make it unanimous and apologized.

He threw his assistant under the bus, basically saying he fucked it up.

Yeah, right.

I would say its not about me too if I had totally bombed at my first head coaching gig. Something else I found amusing, is a little story Coleman told about Chizik's lighter side. He cited a story Chizik had told him the day before or something.

Quote
So what about that joke from Chizik that had Coleman in stitches at a Fellowship of Christian Athletes banquet Thursday night?

The Cliff Notes version is this: Chizik's team had just suffered a big loss, his wife Jonna was in tears and an angry crowd was forming around their departing limousine. He wanted to do something to make someone happy, so he tossed a $100 bill out the window. Jonna very sensibly pointed out that he could have made two people happy by tossing two $50 bills out the window. Then the driver turned around and said, "Why don't you just jump out the window and make everyone happy?"

I mean, thats pretty damn bad when Iowa State football fans are forming an angry mob around your limousine. Iowa. State. Football. Fans. You guys got one hell of a coach there.  :thumbsup:

Just like how everybody said he peaked out at LSU and wouldn't do shit at Alabama? Yeah, damn near stomped out that theory in year two. As long as we keep bringing in blue chip talent year in and year out, I don't see us being shit-tastic anytime soon. Don't worry, I'm sure we will still kick the piss out of you guys in 09, as most other teams will as well. You guys better hope and pray really hard that Mallett works out if you even want to have a chance at .500 this season. What else do you guys have? I honestly could not name one player on Arkansas' roster other than Ryan Mallett off the top of my head.

That's great. You should know your enemy. We do.
Auburn will take some lumps this year, but they will improve game by game as we did last year.
Yall's term is over. Yall have just had flashes since yall's Arkansas coach retired. You think a yankee/coonass retread will carry yall to the promised land? Where's the roll on the floor smilie? Last year is the best yall will do for a while. Live in the past because yall's future is fucked. Make that the last year or so. Yall's past ain't that hot either.

Yall's last year= Ole Miss's. Won't happen again any time soon.

Word...fucking...up!!!  Last year was as good as it will ever get at Bama for as far as anyone can see. They rode the perfect freakin' storm last year to an undefeated regular season but now sport a 2 game losing streak to teams that were actually playing well.  If VT is clicking, they'll be riding a 3 game streak and all will be forgotten.  Relegated to mediocrity as has been the case for almost 2 decades.

We were told that the '07 season would be the best we would do for a while because of rebuilding. We were told we may not see another winning season for years. You say all of this shit, but you have no reasoning other than "because I say so". Our defense is the best it has been in years, and guess what, we return 9 starters off of that unit this season. Plus figure at this point we will be reloading, not rebuilding on that side of the ball in '10. I think the OL will come together and be decent this season. I'm feeling better and better about McElroy this season as well. He beat out guys like Colt McCoy and Sam Bradford at the Manning Passing Camp last week. Now, don't get me wrong; that does NOT automatically translate to wins on the field. But I feel good about the news that has been coming from campus about his maturation at the position. Nothing to worry about at RB or WR.

So, what exactly is going to have us fucked for many years to come?

Chizik doesn't say anything.  He bleats cornball cliches and meaningless coach-speak.  You can look at what he says now and go back to ISU and find the same quotes almost verbatim.  

"(Insert Quarterback's Name Here) did some good things and some bad things at practice today.  We've got to work on doing more of the good and less of the bad."  

Seriously.  No shit.  I think we should work on doing more of the bad.  

Problem is, if you look back far enough you'll see that same quote echoed about four times in ISU interviews.  

"This is my dream job."  

He must have a shitload of dreams.  

He says nothing. And my biggest problem? He looks and sounds dumb while saying it.

So, what exactly is going to have us fucked for many years to come? 

The fact that you're Alabama?  You haven't been shit in your entire existence except for one 25-year window that you refuse to allow to die a natural death.  Not shit. 

You were fucking great during that time, there's no question. How you achieved that greatness is a matter of debate, but that drunken, cheating, sorry ass sack of shit you deify certainly had your team performing well. I mean he did take maximum advantage of the racial bias of the day and owed much of his success to bigotry, but that's also another story.  Fact is, Alabama owned the 70s.

But guess what, shit-tickler? That crotchety bastard has been dead for longer than he coached at your miserable school.  Before he got there your program played second fiddle to a lot of teams -- Auburn included.  Since he left, you've been relegated to your natural position behind a bunch of teams -- Auburn included.  Yeah, you've had momentary flashes and the occasional good season, just like Ole Miss or Vanderbilt. But the days you dream about are not coming back -- now or ever.  You'll be good -- maybe -- for a year or two, but that's the end of it. 

Your overhyped fuckstick of a coach won ten or more games twice at LSU.  Followed those up with nine or less wins and some galling losses to craptastic teams.  Got pissed when that didn't satisfy the fans and left.  Yeah, that's a good mix.  Les Miles has done more in his time at LSU than Saban did for fuck's sake and he's borderline retarded.

We don't know how he would have fared after his only successful season at Michigan State because the leprechaun fled the building as soon as he won a game or two. 

Nick Saban is 70% bullshit, 15% unfounded hype, 10% media masturbation and 5% worth a fuck.

Thats usually why when somebody throws out the whole "you think you have a rightful place because of Bear, or whatever" line I let them know how stupid they are. I never really got to see or be part of the good times, other than once or twice, so I don't have some sense of entitlement. The slaves are doing a little more than rising up.

If shit continues the way things are going now on the Plains, we'll be bitchslapping the masters for years to come.

I feel the need to bring this up every now and then...

Remember this?

Nick Saban can't recruit like he did at LSU. Auburn has the state pretty much locked down, and they recruit Florida/Georgia too well.  Saban's inappropriate comments in the media is going to ruin his national reputation.  How could he compare a loss to LA Monroe to the 911 attacks?  Oh yeah, by the way, Alabama led by mighty Nick Saban lost to LA Monroe.  Do Alabama fans really think they're going to "rise again" with this guy?  Do they really think they're going to become a national title contender and accomplish anything with this egomaniac?  Not to mention, Tuberville has Auburn rolling like a well oiled machine.  Too well coached and too much to compete with will send Saban packing after a few years.  Wait a second...I think ANOTHER Alabama player has been arrested.

Then the bowl game win over Colorado (or whoever it was).

Then Julio Jones and Co.'s #1 recruiting class.

Then 12-2 season.

Then another #1 recruiting class. 

Now...we're hearing this....

Auburn can't recruit against Saban while he's at Alabama.  He has the state pretty much locked down, and they recruit Florida/Georgia too well.  Chizik's horrible two years at Iowa St has ruined his reputation in the national media.  He obviously doesn't know how to run a football program.  Oh yeah, by the way, Auburn lost to Vanderbilt last year.  Some talent they have on the plains.  Do Auburn fans really think they're going to "rise again" with this guy?  Do they really think they're going to become a national title contender and accomplish anything with this loser?  Not to mention, Saban has Alabama rolling like a well oiled machine.  Too well coached and too much to compete with will send Chizik packing after a few years.  Wait a second...I think ANOTHER stud player just committed to Alabama. 

You saw just how quickly things changed in your favor, RWS.

As an Alabama fan who never saw the "glory days" of Alabama, I'm used to seeing our program in disarray and doing whatever they can to shoot themselves in the foot. For a while I was pretty sure our program could fuck up a soup sandwich. I'm still shocked how quickly things changed, but that goes both ways as well. Shit can always happen.

I can grasp that AU let CTT go, ok, I can go with that. But I don't think you guys got an upgrade.

I think we will have a good offense this year. With or without Mallett(who hasn't taken a snap for us yet.)
Year 2 in Petrino's system will be light years away from last year's debut. The players are more comfortable and can simply react instead of thinking what to do. I don't think our defense is there yet. There may be some high scoring shootout type games this year. Last year we threw a lot of freshmen into the fire. They got better every game, even in the losses. We beat LSU our last time out. That shows vast improvement from our season's start. If we can pick up from that point and improve every game this year, we'll be OK.
From secsportshub

Arkansas also figures to have one of the most loaded backfields in the conference, with running back Michael Smith returning. Smith has the highest yards per game average of any SEC football running back returning in 2009. He will be joined by two very talented freshmen, Knile Davis and Ronnie Wingo Jr. The Razorbacks offense also returns superstar TE D.J. Williams, who might just be the best pass catching tight end in the league. Two other wide receivers, Joe Adams and Greg Childs, really stepped up their game in the spring and look poised to be star receivers in the SEC during the 2009 season.

I'll trade you a used Gene Chizik, six strips of Wrigley's Spearmint gum, a dozen yellow bread ties and a half case of orange moon pies. 

Deal?

I'll raise Kaos one (1) case of S'Mores Pop-Tarts and one (1) box of the movie theater Skittles if you guys keep Petrino and leave Chizik at Auburn. Its a win-win situation either way for me, except I would rather beat Auburn more times than Arkansas.

I hope we keep him, too. You'll soon be wishing he goes somewhere else.

How cute - looks like you've got yourself an admirer, Kevin.  What happened to the nearly-tombigbeetiger version of GG/Kaos - now he's moved south and become bosom buddies of Baldwin County with the Barney Fife of Josephine?  Changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes?

Josephine? Might want to figure out exactly what you're talking smack about before you layeth it. Damn, you guys can't discuss anything without having to get your vaginas in a wad and trying to get personal.

Again...fuck you and your cocky arogant ass. Just because Alabama has a decent coach for once, doesn't mean that you guys are going to be given the SEC every fucking year. Saban is a good coach...he is not a fucking god.

Did you miss the part where I ripped Alabama, called Saban out and characterized Bryant as a cheating Bastard?  It was in this thread, actually.

I just don't see the need to take it personal like some of you fucks seem determined to do.

Very disappointing.

Neither one of you Alabama teams are worth a shit without an Arkansas coach.
There, i said it.
If the troof hurts, I suggest BC Powders and Ben Gay. Heavy on the Gay and less on the Ben for teh Bammers.
Don't want any ODs on my conscience,

I don't think so at all.....let me break it down

Florida - Scares the piss out of me.
Tennessee - Will be horrible for years to come.
Auburn - Not really scared, unless they can prove otherwise. Tuberville scared the piss out of me, though.
Arkansas - Nothing scary here. Cupboard is fairly bare talent wise.
Miss. St. - They have returned to form.
Ole Miss - Any Houston Nutt coached team worries me a bit because he's a crazy bastard.
Kentucky - Uhhh, I really don't know. Good defense?
LSU - Will probably be pretty good this season.
UGA - Honestly, no idea.
USCe = Will take their traditional 6-7 win role unless a QB emerges.
Vanderbilt - I actually think they may build off of last season. Maybe I'm crazy.

I don't think we have some sort of "rightful place" or any of that shit.

So you think yall will go 4-4 in conference? That's inline with what I'm thinking.

I think we will have at least a 9 win season. I think McElroy will surprise some folks this season as well. The only thing that concerns me is OL. I think we have a good bunch there, but you don't lose Andre Smith and not miss a beat. I bet VT is going to blitz the shit out of us and test out how that OL is going to hold up. It will only get better as the season progresses.

You didn't get the memo?

It was Spurrier. And then he rescinded his vote to make it unanimous and apologized.

He threw his assistant under the bus, basically saying he fucked it up.

Yeah, right.

Yeah, I heard I found out not long after I posted.
