The SEC Media Days schedule was released yesterday, which means all gainfully employed Crimson Tide fans who enjoy sitting for hours at a time in the lobby of the Wynfrey Hotel in order to catch a 20-second glimpse of Nick Saban will need to make plans to not be at work on Thursday, July 19th. And maybe on the 18th as well, so you can set up shop in the lobby the night before to get a prime viewing spot of your coach. Because you know if you’re in the back of the crowd, you won’t be getting much of a look at him (THAT WAS A NICK SABAN IS SHORT JOKE BECAUSE HE REALLY IS).
Even though no one could possibly care about this some four months ahead of time, here’s the order of appearances because it’s March 6th and there is nothing going on:
Tuesday, July 17, 2012
Luncheon – 11:15 a.m. – 12:45 p.m.
1st session (approx. 1 – 3:30 p.m.) – South Carolina, Texas A&M
2nd session (approx. 3:20 – 6 p.m.) — Missouri, Vanderbilt
Wednesday, July 18, 2012
1st session (approx. 8:30 – 11:20 a.m.) – Florida, Mississippi State
2nd session (approx. 10:50 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.) – Arkansas, Kentucky
Luncheon – 1 – 2:30 p.m.
3rd session (approx. 2:30 – 5 p.m.) – Auburn, LSU
Thursday, July 19, 2012
1st session (approx. 8:30 – 11:20 a.m.) – Alabama, Tennessee
2nd session (approx. 10:50 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.) – Ole Miss, Georgia
A few non-insightful comments and points of interest:
- Since this is Missouri and Texas A&M’s first run through the gauntlet, why not stick them on Alabama’s day to scare the shit out of them?
- At what point in Steve Spurrier’s career have his comments ever made someone think he should lead this thing off? Spurrier is a clean-up hitter and deserves more respect than this.
- Tuesday’s luncheon will feature Paula Deen’s creative take on Golden Flake products
- Wednesday’s luncheon will feature Paula Deen’s attempt to give everyone diabetes by the time Gene Chizik starts talking
- After an entire day in a hotel conference room listening to coach-speak, I don’t think anyone would be opposed to Les Miles speaking from the hotel bar
- If you want to get a good seat for the Bobby Petrino/Joker Phillips block, you’ll need to get there by at least 10:49 AM
- Same goes for the Gary Pinkel/James Franklin duo, unless Franklin is in a fighting mood (someone get Todd Grantham media credentials STAT!)
- It’s good they scheduled Will Muschamp so early in the day as he’ll be less likely to spit up blood on someone
- #1STSESSIONCHAMPIONSHIP #PRELUNCHCHAMPIONSHIP #HAILSTATE
- I hope Derek Dooley gets handed a subpoena just to see if he starts crying
- Hugh Freeze has already put in a request for a Garth Brooks microphone so he can have maximum revival gesturing with his hands (#winthepodium)
- Someone needs to make a few calls and make sure Houston Nutt is able to attend and speak because the place won’t be the same without him
