Steve Spurrier will lead things off today at the three days in Hoover, Alabama known as the SEC Media Days, but today largely serves as an introduction to the newest members of the Southeastern Conference family: the Missouri Tigers and the Texas A&M Aggies. The head football coaches of both, Gary Pinkel and Kevin Sumlin, will give time for questions and answers with the media and even some of the best players will be on display for the frenzy of SEC Media Day one.
Gary Pinkel has brought along some players with him. T.J. Moe, E.J. Gaines and Elvis Fisher will all take to the podium for a few minutes worth of questions. No individual players gets more than 10 minutes. Perhaps it would be good to have James Franklin here just to offer clarity between the Franklin who serves as the coach of Vanderbilt and the one who plays quarterback for Mizzou, but alas there's no appearance from the Tigers QB.
