SEC Talk

I hate summer.

I mean, the weather is nice and all, but for someone who loves college sports, summer is an eternity.

And when you write about college sports, summer is eternity x infinity.

I’ve been waiting to start my football outlook because injuries and grades are going to weed out a few key players here and there. Plus, two a days are just around the corner, and several teams just have too many questions for me to go out on a limb now with what would turn into an uninformed guess.

And don’t forget, Wednesday the SEC Media Days for football get underway in Hoover, Alabama. The drama may be unbearable:

Will Lane Kiffin and Urban Meyer kiss and make up?

Will Houston Nutt drop to his knees and thank the heavens that he is out of Arkansas?

Will Bobby Petrino stay in Arkansas, or quit mid-season?

Will Steve Spurrier announce he is retiring at the end of the season to join the PGA Seniors Tour?

Will Auburn OC Trooper Taylor chest bump anyone?

With fall practice just a couple of weeks away, and fans already chomping at the bit, the dog days of summer take on a new meaning. Every day several SEC coaches send out notes on Twitter, with a countdown in days, hours and minutes until kickoff.

(for the record, I am the most well-informed blogger on weather at SEC schools, as each coach also seems to feel the need to post a local weather report.)

Starting tomorrow, I’ll have updates on SEC Media Days, including quotes from select players and coaches. Next week we’ll start our team by team preview, ending with my predictions. Feel free to chime in with your own thoughts and opinions… after all, this is SEC Sports TALK, not SEC Sport LISTEN!
