SEC Media Days opened this morning in Tampa — the first time Florida has hosted this beautiful disaster — and the conference descended on the JW Marriott with three years of title drought, six new head coaches, and Lane Kiffin lurking at the end of the week like a final boss.
Lane Kiffin gave a four-hour interview to Vanity Fair, said the quiet part loud about recruiting to Oxford, apologized, and somehow made Ole Miss fans even angrier — all while Texas crashed the preseason All-SEC party with 16 picks and zero apologies.
It is the final official visit weekend before the dead period, Lane Kiffin has added eight commitments in June alone, and he already promised LSU fans a national championship on a podcast. Nobody is sleeping.
Steve Sarkisian walked into SEC spring meetings and called his Ole Miss "basket weaving" comment a "poor choice of words." Lane Kiffin, who went full Trappist monk on Twitter after his own Ole Miss grenade, showed up in Miramar Beach and reminded everyone silence is a skill he has not mastered in person.
Greg Sankey is standing in the way of a 24-team playoff while his own coaches openly revolt, Lane Kiffin is already telling LSU fans to pump the brakes on the $91 million dream, and Auburn is rebranding for the fifth time this decade.
