It's almost here

Football is almost here. SEC Media Days begin on Wednesday. LSU is up on Friday.

My only quibble is with LSU not bringing Chad Jones as one of the two players. From a media standpoint, there probably isn't a more intriguing player to bring to Birmingham. He could talk about the new defense. He could talk about winning the College World Series. He could talk football and he could talk baseball.

Of course, that's probably why he'll be in Baton Rouge this week. Coaches are notorious for wanting everything to be under their control and the interviews, shall we say, boring. I would imagine talk of a football/baseball decision is that last thing Les Miles wants on the agenda for Jones.

Still, it would have been great to have seen the dreadlocked one in Birmingham on the big stage.

(And don't give me that Hoover stuff, it's still Birmingham to me).
