Football is a brief six weeks in the future, and that means it’s time for one of college football’s most college football events: SEC Media Days, when hordes of media, media-like people and -- in a phenomenon unknown to other conferences -- fans descend on a hotel in Hoover, Ala., from Tuesday to Thursday to listen to the conference’s coaches and players discuss the upcoming season.
2013 SEC Media Days schedule: Coaches, players, streaming online and more
Spencer Hall, Jason Kirk and Steven Godfrey of SB Nation, as well as Brandon Larrabee of SB Nation’s Team Speed Kills, will be on hand to provide coverage of the event, which I’m told will feature jokes.
If you’d like to watch the event without heading to Hoover, the press conferences will be available on ESPNU as well as WatchESPN and the WatchESPN app. Videos will then be available to watch at the SEC’s official website. ESPN’s College Football Live will also be broadcasting live from the scene for the first time ever. Four teams appear per day, with each team bringing a coach and three players.
Four coaches will be making their SEC Media Days debut. Auburn and Arkansas will be bringing fullbacks. And there will be tons of SEC pride, as there are sure to be oodles of references to the conference’s seven straight national championships.
Here’s the full list of participants and when they’ll be speaking. All times listed are Eastern.
