Quiet Persuasion: On The First Days

Nothing surprised me about the first day of SEC Media Days. I knew about the circus surrounding the coaches and the stupid question media members ask them (I'll have a list for you later this week), so I have just a few quick observations from today.

1. I hate to say it but Tim Tebow is a nice guy. He does more for others than most college students. So stop asking him if he has ever had a beer or smoked a cigarette. In truth, does it really matter?

2. Mississippi State sophomore Wesley Carroll looks nothing like a quarterback. To quote Chris Farley,"He's just a little guy." A friend joked, "He looks like Huckleberry Finn." I responded, "You know, they found him on fraternity row. He was throwing a football in front of the SAE house and Coach Croom saw him and asked him to tryout." That's not true.

3. LSU doesn't want to talk about their former quarterback who shall remain nameless so stop asking about him. (Guy in the front row asks about him/Jamie rolls his eyes) Les Miles is not planning to throw the ball this year anyways.

4. Vanderbilt coach Bobby Johnson's hair is whiter than snow.

That is all until tomorrow morning when Saban arrives at 8 a.m. on a chariot made of fire.
