Years ago, football season lasted from September through December and ended on January 1st. High school recruits were allowed to sign with their college of choice in February, and most people went about their business until the following fall.
Nowadays, football season lasts from September through mid January. Football’s recruiting season lasts year round and really heats up January and February. Football’s spring season lasts from March until April. Trash talking season lasts from May until June. Football’s media season is in July, and football’s practice season is in August.
Fans have to buy tickets to experience most of those.
Tomorrow starts the media season. All 12 SEC coaches will visit the Winfrey hotel in Hoover, AL and will field questions from a group of hair-gelled, fake tanned journalism nerds who probably only played football in the 9th grade.

In 15 days, we will begin hearing three days worth of coach-speak that will be nitpicked and critiqued.

Auburn…
- But we’re going to break the rules. I just can’t get upset with this team right now. I did that enough after the LSU game. Our guys have busted their butts all year. It’s been a hell of a fight to turn the program back around. I wish I could go on another diatribe about Chizik’s future, but this rollercoaster of a season has silenced any opinions. Think about what we HAVE accomplished:

What does Coach Richt have planned for this week....dark helmets again?
By: Kevin Strickland
Mark Richt knows what’s wrong with the Georgia Bulldogs.
He knows why the ‘Dogs are 5-4 and in jeopardy of missing a bowl trip for the first time in eight years.
Richt has figured out why his team has fallen off the SEC East radar.

It’s not the erratic defense that allowed 37 to South Carolina, 41 to Arkansas, 41 to Florida and 45 to Tennessee.
Nope. It’s choreography and costuming that are the problem for his Bulldog team.
