The job of the SEC football coach or player at SEC Media Days: say nothing that could ever be used against you in a court of law or before a football game.
Often, this means nobody says anything at all. No one remembers a single thing said by Gary Pinkel, Mark Stoops, or Butch Jones this week, and that's fine. The event was survived, and the locals are happy their guys looked well-dressed on camera.
But the event still has more than its share of memorable quotes from the podium. Below, some of the finest moments from the closest thing we have to a college football season countdown celebration.
Florida
Will Muschamp's opening statement is a 15 minute video game cut scene with ZERO skip buttons.
— edsbs (@edsbs) July 16, 2013
Muschamp: "We appreciate our friends from Ohio making sure we follow NCAA rules. They certainly know something about NCAA rules."
— Andy Staples (@Andy_Staples) July 16, 2013
"Our first concern is Toledo," Jack White's new album.
— Steven Godfrey (@38Godfrey) July 16, 2013
Muschamp addresses the media like a high school wrestler who memorized the oral report his tutor gave him 15 minutes before class.
— Steven Godfrey (@38Godfrey) July 16, 2013
"Enjoyed workin' with all of y- ... Well, most of you through the years, not all of you. :)" -- Will Muschamp
— SBN College Football (@SBNationCFB) July 16, 2013
"I was in the background of a horse derby in one, or something." Yes, Jeff Driskel likes Joker Phillips' Photoshops.
— Jason Kirk (@JasonKirkSBN) July 16, 2013
Driskel was hog hunting with his girlfriend when he was drafted by the Red Sox. They both caught one (hogs). His was bigger.
— Steven Godfrey (@38Godfrey) July 16, 2013
Florida's Easley: "I don't watch sports. I love Jimmy Neutron."
— Steven Godfrey (@38Godfrey) July 16, 2013
Jon Halapio's answer to the fast food breakfast challenge: https://t.co/OOpS1UwWpB
— edsbs (@edsbs) July 16, 2013
Not a joke: Dominique Easley was asked a question about Bear Bryant & didn't recognize the name. He asked if it was some kind of cartoon.
— Jason Lieser (@PBPjasonlieser) July 16, 2013
Missouri
Gary Pinkel starts by mentioning a Missouri alum starting in the All-Star Game. In baseball. THIS MAN AIN'T SEC, COUSIN.
— edsbs (@edsbs) July 16, 2013
A long, empty pause after a solicitation for more questions for Pinkel. Awkward. In the biz, we call that a "Joker."
— Steven Godfrey (@38Godfrey) July 16, 2013
James Franklin subterfuge on Mizzou offensive changes: "We may or may not try to move the ball faster. Or slower."
— Dave Matter (@Dave_Matter) July 16, 2013

— Cecil Hurt (@CecilHurt) July 16, 2013
Ole Miss' Hugh Freeze on stage. "I was listening to my friend Will Muschamp up here. I'm gonna try to do this w/ less breaths than he took."
— Jason Lieser (@PBPjasonlieser) July 16, 2013
Guess the state: A bizarrely enthusiastic reporter asked Freeze how to win titles in high school girls' basketball.
— Steven Godfrey (@38Godfrey) July 16, 2013
Hugh Freeze did start wearing a visor as a HS coach to emulate Spurrier, to Spurrier's apparent satisfaction: "He calls me his visor guy."
— Holly Anderson (@HollyAnderson) July 16, 2013
South Carolina
UPSET ALERT: Spurrier begins remarks with "OK," not "Waylp."
— Holly Anderson (@HollyAnderson) July 16, 2013
Spurrier is now saying Notre Dame should join the ACC as a full member. I'm about to fall over in the aisle laughing.
— edsbs (@edsbs) July 16, 2013
"Last year at this time, Ole Miss was 2-10." Spurrier defending remarks from last year. "[Freeze and I] both wear visors."
— SBN College Football (@SBNationCFB) July 16, 2013
"We're playin' that, so yeah, I'll agree with that." Spurrier on whether everyone should play 10 BCS-conference opponents.
— SBN College Football (@SBNationCFB) July 16, 2013
Will we see Clowney on offense? "Not really. We got a buncha offensive players."
— Holly Anderson (@HollyAnderson) July 16, 2013
Last question to Spurrier was about his 50th high school reunion in Tenn. "It was a little quiet. Though it'd be louder. Most left by 9:30."
— Steven Godfrey (@38Godfrey) July 16, 2013
Steve Spurrier: The Pope is 77-years-old and he's in charge of a billion people. All I have to do is put 11 on the field. #SECMD13
— TexAgs.com (@TexAgs) July 16, 2013
#gamecocks QB Connor Shaw said HBC said he "wouldn't mind jumping out of a plane himself." Shaw did it this summer
— Mark Schlabach (@Mark_Schlabach) July 16, 2013
"Last year, Georgia, they didn't play very well at all." This is my happy place.
— edsbs (@edsbs) July 16, 2013
Spurrier: "Wofford almost beats us every time they come in here."
— Andy Staples (@Andy_Staples) July 16, 2013
The legend of Jadeveon Clowney
SC DE Jadeveon Clowney on if he'd ever wear a Florida or Georgia cap: "I mean, if it matched my outfit? Sure."
— Joe Schad (@schadjoe) July 16, 2013
We've been in 9 interview rooms already & 9 times, Jadeveon Clowney has been asked about "The Hit." It doesn't get old either. #Gamecocks
— Charles Bloom (@CharlesBloomSC) July 16, 2013
Question: "Where would you rank Jadeveon Clowney in-" Muschamp: "Number one."
— SBN College Football (@SBNationCFB) July 16, 2013
Bruce Ellington said Jadeveon Clowney ran a 4.46 in the 40-yard dash yesterday "When he ran a 4.5, he said he wasn't running hard."
— Mark Schlabach (@Mark_Schlabach) July 16, 2013
Jadeveon Clowney said he talked trash about running a sub-4.5 40 but didn't actually think he could do it. Well he ran a 4.46 yesterday
— Edward Aschoff (@AschoffESPN) July 16, 2013
Clowney on a hit better than the Outback Bowl: "There was this guy in HS on a punt block that I about #kilt."
— Barrett Sallee (@BarrettSallee) July 16, 2013
The cop assigned to escort Clowney chuckled at assignment. "I'm 'security' for him. If he can't handle it, who am I?'"
— Josh Kendall (@JoshatTheState) July 16, 2013
Tiny Richardson said he has watched South Carolina game once a week to study Jadeveon Clowney's tendencies "Can't wait to see him again."
— Mark Schlabach (@Mark_Schlabach) July 17, 2013
"Don't tweet," says Clowney when asked for advice he'd give players. This is thus my last tweet.
— Jason Kirk (@JasonKirkSBN) July 16, 2013
Clowney says he recently gained six pounds in a day due to peanut butter sandwiches. Peanuts are your only hope, Dabo
— Jason Kirk (@JasonKirkSBN) July 16, 2013
Clowney on basketball Clowney: "all I did was dunk." Also, "360 dunks are pretty fun." They seem fun.
— Jason Kirk (@JasonKirkSBN) July 16, 2013
Jadeveon Clowney on Tajh Boyd: "He is scared every time we play them. I know he's listening to this right now but I'm telling the truth."
— Josh Kendall (@JoshatTheState) July 16, 2013
Murray's response to Clowney: "The word fear was misused for respect. Definitely a lot of respect for him."
— Seth Emerson (@SethEmerson) July 18, 2013

— SBN College Football (@SBNationCFB) July 18, 2013
#LSU QB Zach Mettenberger said Clowney talked trash to him before game last year. "I almost crapped my pants."
— Mark Schlabach (@Mark_Schlabach) July 18, 2013
Ja'Wuan James on Clowney: I never get to go against him. He stays on the other side. He won't come over and play with me.
— Wes Rucker (@wesrucker247) July 17, 2013
Even Donte Moncrief was asked about Jadeveon Clowney's The Hit. Moncrief had nothing to do with The Hit and won't play Clowney this year.

The adventures of Johnny Manziel
Johnny Manziel says he was "absolutely not" hungover at Manning Camp.

Someone just asked Mark Stoops about Alabama State. Seriously #SECMediaDays
