Corn Flakes: SEC Media Days Highlights - Saban, Spurrier and BERT

SEC Media Days are upon us and that means real football isn't all that far away anymore. Today will feature Georgia, Ole Miss and LSU.

Big Ten media days isn't too far off, and this year will feature Jim Harbaugh and heaven only knows what quotes will come out of that guy.

I'm sure Mike Riley will field 43 questions, all the same, being "Talk about what it's like to move to the Big Ten", because TALK ABOUT is a favorite phrase of sports writers everywhere that doesn't really involve actually asking a question.

And let's face it, Riley will be boring.

As long as he wins games, who the hell cares, right?

As you'd expect, the big conferences don't all play exactly the same kind of football.

Interesting, but we don't know what Nebraska will look like this year so this article is kind of void from our perspective.

Steve Spurrier’s best quotes from 2015 SEC Media Days - SBNation.com

"I forgot to get fired and I'm not going to cheat."

I have always liked Steve Spurrier. A lot of Husker fans find him arrogant, and didn't like him from the 62-24 ass-whippin' we put on the Florida Gators, but I've never understood why (other than he's not Tom Osborne). He has great quotes. He doesn't take himself too seriously. He's been around a long time, and he's a winner.

What's not to like?

Nick Saban has another interesting explanation for another Alabama Sugar Bowl loss - SBNation.com

The offseason continues on schedule!

Nick Saban on the other hand I find a little odd, especially when his team loses. In 2009, Alabama was upset 31-17 by Utah in the Sugar Bowl, and Saban (as the article linked above shows) blamed the fans for lack of enthusiasm. This time it was players just finding out they were first round NFL draft picks as if they just found out they were going to be first round draft picks.

I agree fully with Dan Wolken in the article linked below.

Nick Saban's talk about his players receiving draft grades may have sounded like whining, but he was right.

And then our Texas A&M site makes a rational point about Saban's complaints about NFL draft grades. It spoils all the fun.
