Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
SEC Media Days start Wednesday, and SB Nation will storm the gates six strong to cover every imaginable angle of the three day hypestravaganza. I'll be there for the mothership, Holly Anderson will have EDSBS covered, Cocknfire from Team Speed Kills will be breaking in a new Mac for the network's dedicated SEC site, and we will bring two Joels: one from Rocky Top Talk, and one from Roll Bama Roll. You can never have too many Joels in your media army.

Actually ...
I’m fighting the instinct to ask Petrino that question.

I went looking for a sad clown face to put in the comments . . .
but all I could find were gifs of sad Jevan Snead. And one of Stephen Garcia asking me “Why so serious?!?”

Can I call you Nick?
Do you think Urby’s esophageal problems were caused by the rough throat you gave him in Atlanta?
by creekdweller on Jul 20, 2010 12:11 PM EDT reply actions
Coach Meyer...
We know about the throat problems, but have you been able to sit down since the SEC Championship Game?

Coach Chizik.....
We all know Daniel Moore has a painting of the 2009 Iron Bowl for Alabama fans known as “The Drive”….
Is it true that Daniel Moore will be unveiling the Auburn version,
“The Previous 58 Minutes”?…….since that is all Auburn fans seem to hang their hat on when talking about the best game the ALMOST won, and in some minds, they did since Alabama must have cheated or something…..

Coach Saban....
Since the NCAA is snooping around Alabama and have already convicted Marcel Dareus, even though this was after the BCS Championship, their punishment is deleting all plays Marcel Dareus was involved in during the game, thus Colt McCoy does not get hurt, and plays the game, and Marcel does not intercept a screen pass for a TD, nullifying those points and automatically awarding Texas the Championship game since they have simulated it on NCAA 2011 without Marcel Dareus, effectively putting Alabama on the Freshman level while placing Texas on All American, and the results are undisputed, Texas wins?
