Jeez. Talk about HATING coming back to work. This sucks. But, at least the new Athlon and Lindy's books are out, so I get to read up a little bit on other teams that I haven't paid a lot of attention to.
Sardis was awesome. If you'd like to read up on a few things that transpired, go check out the band page - myspace.com/prosevere.
The SEC meetings in Destin will be taking place this week, and then I'm sure that Coach Saban will disappear into the sunset, over to Lake Burton for a while, not to be seen again for at least a couple of weeks.
One of the big topics will be re-upping the television contracts with ESPN, CBS, Raycom, etc. There is talk about starting a network just for the SEC, in the same mold as the Big Ten network.
