SEC Media Days: conference issues credentials to two SB Nation bloggers

SEC Football Media Days next Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday may not kick off the 2009 college football season, but it does serve as the first faint glimpse of the game on the horizon. Each year, hundreds of media members descend on Birmingham to interview coaches and players from every team in the SEC. Or to serve subpoenas. Whatever.

I'm especially pumped about the event this year because I'll be attending as one of those hundreds of media members. cocknfire from Team Speed Kills, who live-blogged the event while in attendance last year, is going again this year, and he and I hope to collaborate on some coverage for you. If you have any ideas, please let us know, and we'll do our best to make you proud.

Here's the schedule:

Wednesday, July 22
ARKANSAS RAZORBACKS (1:00 - 3:00 pm) Bobby Petrino DT Malcolm Sheppard TE D.J. Williams	VANDERBILT COMMODORES (1:00 - 3:00 pm) Bobby Johnson C Bradley Vierling CB Myron Lewis	MISSISSIPPI STATE BULLDOGS (3:00 - 5:00 pm) Dan Mullen OT Derek Sherrod LB K.J.

As you can see, many of these are simultaneous sessions. Obviously, I'll devote the Friday 10:30 slot to the Big Orange, the Thursday 10:30 slot to the Gators, and Wednesday to Vanderbilt and Kentucky. But what about the Alabama/Georgia and Auburn/South Carolina dilemma? What do y'all think?
