SEC Media Days at the home of Mardi Gras? New Orleans angling to host in near future #LSU #SECMD25 nola.com/sports/lsu/sec… via @nolanews
Missouri's road games are only its four SEC road games. Tigers play their first six games in Columbia before going to Auburn on Oct. 18. I don't think I've ever seen a slate like that. #SECMD25

Eli Drinkwitz said he's not going to answer questions about the Epstein files, the radiation belt or whether Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. He's a firecracker, the Mizzou coach. #SECMD25

Our @whalexander_ asks Miss. State coach Jeff Lebby about new #LSU QB Michael Van Buren, who transferred from State. "He's a very talented kid and will do well." Didn't have a lot more to say.
Kalen DeBoer was asked about Alabama’s quarterback competition, and Ty Simpson would be the starter today. Whoever wins, probably just good for LSU that Jalen Milroe is gone.
Alabama OL Kadyn Proctor just said he owns 170(!) bottles of cologne. “If you’re a big guy, you can’t stink.”

Three and out: Scott Rabalais' three takeaways from Day 2 of SEC Media Days in Atlanta theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/sp…
After playing Sarkisian onto the podium with the Texas A&M fight song by mistake, they play him off the stage with the Texas fight song. Better late than never. #SECMD25
LSU has to replace four starting offensive linemen, and yet Brian Kelly feels confident in the unit. He explains why: theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/sp…
