Noticed SEC Media Days Are Scheduled in Dallas This Year

Echoes of a constant in old SWC Media days. SEC has bounced around on media days locations in recent years, last two being in Atlanta & Nashville. Most have been in Birmingham before that. I remember a conversation I had on a SEC Board long ago with an Alabama fan. I was complaining about Alabama having an easier road with SEC football officials than Arkansas. I said if the SEC front office was in Little Rock that would surely change. The Alabama fan disagreed stating that Roy Kramer came from Vandy & filled the Birmingham SEC front office with Tennessee people still there. The Alabama fan said the SEC front office going to Little Rock was fine with him. In the 32 years that Arkansas has been the SEC. The SEC Women's Basketball Tournament has been the only SEC event ever scheduled in the 20,000 seat arena that sets across the Arkansas River from Little Rock in NLR. I think that SEC Women's Tournament was scheduled there twice years ago. The NCAA put regional NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament Games in that NLR Arena more times years ago Interesting to see how much the SEC patronizes Dallas. The SEC is off to a fast start. Dallas is far bigger than Little Rock.

I like Josh Pate, but I don't like what he is doing.

It seems that humans have some innate desire to be able to claim...

He is accurate so far. We are in fact in the month of July.
