The schedule for SEC Media Days in late July starts slow on Wednesday with Bobby Petrino, Bobby Johnson, Dan Mullen, and Rich Brooks, and then kicks into high gear Thursday with Nick Saban, Mark Richt, Urban Meyer, and Houston Nutt. Friday features Gene Chizik, Steve Spurrier, Les Miles, and Lane Kiffin. So yeah, Meyer and Kiffin won't be in the same room on the same day. Perhaps we can avoid subpoenas this year, hmm?
Inside Tennessee notes that although Tennessee has a few areas of probable weakness, running back isn't one of them ($).

Bruce Pearl is not happy about losing a scholarship due to the APR rules, which he thinks is well-intended but ill-applied. If Tyler Smith returns, someone will have to go. The most-probable loss would be Phillip Jurick.
