The man returns. SEC Media Days reached their peak on Tuesday with Steve Spurrier’s anticipated turn at the microphone. This year’s menu of quotes include: jabs at Tennessee and Arkansas, the secret to his longevity in the coaching profession, various 2016 presidential candidates and more.
Steve Spurrier, god of both SEC Media Days and Arby’s
Good morning! It’s your daily roundup of college football stuff.
Jadeveon Clowney and Elliott Fry
Spurrier did address the removal of the Confederate flag in South Carolina, a position that he’s been clear on since 2007, and also commented on player discipline in light of two Florida State players recently being accused of hitting women. “I’ve always had a rule as a coach that if you ever hit a girl, you’re finished.”
And how could he make the day complete without stopping at that same Arby’s as he does every year?
Oh right, the others. Mississippi State’s Dan Mullen, Texas A&M’s Kevin Sumlin and Tennessee’s Butch Jones had the good fortune of going on the same day as Head Ball Coach.
- Jones returned fire, claiming no one in Knoxville was happy about a 7-6 record.
- Sumlin brought three linemen to the party, trying to show Texas A&M is all about toughness this year or something.
- And Mullen? Well, he wore Yeezys with a suit.
Wednesday’s schedule includes Nick Saban and Bret Bielema.
STEVE SPURRIER AS THE NAKED "NEVER MIND" BABY. That's the next amazing chalk artwork this Alabama bar plans to add to its collection.
Optimism in Pullman? 2014 was particularly bad for Washington State, but there’s real reason to think the Cougars have a shot to improve quite a bit this year.
NOW PAWL. Laremy Tunsil’s stepfather has hired an attorney that’s a Mississippi State fan. Remember, he has already spoken with NCAA investigators about alleged recruiting violations on the part of Ole Miss in their pursuit of Tunsil, so it’s safe to say this whole thing is proceeding as cartoonishly as one could expect.
Extremely, extremely Miami. The Hurricanes’ new Adidas uniforms will be unveiled at famed night spot LIV on Saturday night, maybe alongside DJ Khaled.
Texas crootin' news. Five-star offensive tackle and former No. 1 overall 2016 prospect Greg Little decommitted from Texas A&M. Meanwhile in Austin, four-star wide receiver and former Baylor commit Tren'Davian Dickson committed to Texas. He had 39 touchdown catches as a junior. Thirty-nine.
Florida State broke Miami. “We kind of lost our mojo,” one Cane says of what happened after the loss to FSU.
