SEC Media Days

The media days are off to a good start. One thing we know already is the SEC is going to be awesome in blocking wifi judging from the fact that it took forever for them to get it working. Those poor media people had to sit sadly refreshing their laptops over and over while we poor blogers could drink cheap beer and pound away on ours one finger at a time.

Perry Stevenson is shown with his awesome dunk on one of the videos they are showing during breaks. Way to go Perry!!!!!!!!

Alabama’s Nick Saban was his normal self starting politely and being led by questions into turning into a agent crunching demon. Other than saying “How are they any better than a pimp?” he reiterated what he said the other day about baning them from SEC campuses.

Well thats done but the questions were almost impossible to hear. Maybe we can ban Radio Shack for not working with the league.

Dan Mullen was as usual a entertaining talker and got the best quote of the day so far when ask a question with the word Alabama and or Saban in it. “Well, I’ve had a lot more first-round quarterbacks drafted than he’s ever had in his career.”

Urban Meyer handled the $100,000 question easily he said he went directly to Pouncey and ask if he did it and he said no. He agrees with Nick Saben on what to do with agents. He feels that there will be some sort of reaction by the NFL. Florida is going to pass mostly and run it from under center, by direct snaps and with the wildcat much like they did with Chris Leake. Nothing new there.

Joker was very upbeat about his coaches and wanted to get out in Kentucky get the Kentucky brand out for all to see. He talked about hitching himself to the basketball team during the spring. He also mentioned that the new coaching hires were already paying dividends in recruiting.

As fas as who will start at quarterback he said that we have two quarterbacks who have won in the league and three who can win and the position is still wide open. Derick Locke on the other hand said Hartline had a great spring and stepped up when it was needed.

Joker also said wanted his quarterback to “win” the game this year, rather than managing it”. You could feel the BBN stand up and run to the fridge for a cold one when that was said.

Defensive tackle Myron Walker and linebacker Will Johnson will transfer according to Joker and Paul Warford is ineligible. Warford is not really news since it was reported that he wasn’t doing to well in school. Mister Cobble’s status is up in the air right now.

Over all Joker cracked a few jokes and managed his first media days like a veteran.

Media Dayze

The SEC media days kick off the football season on July 21 and all of us here at BigBlueRules are stoked. This year fans can watch the media days at The SEC Sports site.

Joker Phillips will be staring in his first media days on Wednesday along with a supporting cast of Kentucky players Randall Cobb, DeQuin Evans and Derrick Locke.

Some thoughts on the media days.

With no Lane Kiffin to provide the fodder this year, Tennessee will still be the star for the second year in a row. This year most eyes will be on Derrek Dooley to see if he in nimble enough to face a media that will have few questions not related to bar room brawls or how bare the cupboards are.

Will there ever be a player better with words than Dicky Lyons representing a team again.
Watch Dicky Lyons here?

Will a coach not show up like Fulmer did when he was a no-show so he couldn’t be served court papers?

Will Spurrier be the only coach not to vote Garcia as the top QB in the league?

Will a player admit that he’s not a virgin.

If any of this happens count on us to bring the news to you.

Tebow is the talk of the SEC media days

Well a couple of things have kept Tim Tebow in front of the media. Which coach didn’t vote him preseason all-SEC and is he still a virgin?
No doubt these are pressing questions that deserve to be answered so BigBlueRules will attempt to answer them.

Well that was easy the old balls coach answered the first question for us. It wasn’t me he said it was the guy I had answer my coaches ballot for me. I have to admit Steve Spurrier is still more entertaining than his new challenger Lane Kiffin.

In an attempt to answer the second question BigBlueRules is looking for volunteers to visit Florida and help us discover the answer. Volunteers have to possess several qualities. They have to be good looking, don’t mind spending time at the swamp and not be afraid to break one of the Kentucky fans ten commandments. Thou shall not sleep with a gator.

Which brings up another interesting thought what are the other nine commandments.
