Mike Slive and the SEC Fourteen (h/t Team Speed Kills):
I’m really digging Franklin and Richt posed next to each other. Was that staged, or did they choose that?
Anyway, let’s hear from you in the comments.

Quote Of The Day
-
“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

Get The Picture 
Apropos of nothing really, except that this photo strangely inspires my imagination of what would shake out if this crew were tangled up in a bar brawl scene: whichever good Dawg it was who casually mentioned Young’s “Tonight’s the Night” album some weeks ago, you have my regards.
That record has all the visceral grit of a down-on-the-floor drinking binge. On stretches of it, the vocals nearly sound as if delivered from behind a bar at around 2 AM! Just down-and-dirty stuff that I had yet to discover (I had covered ’70-74 Young fully).
As for the photo: “Look around men — next year at this time at least two of you will be down the road.” (and I think we’ve got more intrigue coming from Pinkel –look at that windbreaker style)
Sorry to threadjack right from the go.

Where to start? WTH is Chizik doing?
I have no idea who the A&M and Mizzou coaches are.
The only two people who appear to be giving their everyday, non-nervous appearances are Saban and, oddly enough, Miles.

Looks like Chizik has his left arm in a sling. He’s also the only one wearing tennis shoes.
What an uncomfortable looking bunch. Seriously, as many times as these guys get their pictures taken, you wouldn’t think half of them would look like they’re taking the awkward middle school yearbook photo.

Chizik had shoulder surgery.
What kills me though is every one else at least tried to dress up a bit, and freaking Chizik is in a track suit. LOL. Will “the fonz” Muschamp is looking dapper also. Miles looks like that special needs kid that bags groceries down the street.

That guy has a lot of things, you know, to remember. It’s not for him to say who will do the forgetting, see, but that football team of his has a lot of heart, and a lot of, you know, memory. And when they start feeling disrespected and begin thinking memorably about some of the things that have been said, and he’s not going to say who said what or did that, but some other teams should remember this in their memories, because disrespectedness is no longer part of the culture at Vanderbilt University. And having not said anything at all, that’s all he’s going to say. So remember this day.

These guys are multi-millionaires. Why do so many of them have terrible haircuts? Dooley’s clothes don’t match. Miles is wearing horrible brown shoes that don’t match.
Why can’t these grown men dress themselves? I was pretty disappointed that Coach Richt was wearing that windbreaker last year, but this is a pretty terrible looking bunch. Chizik is dressed like crap and is wearing tennis shoes. Kick him out of the conference. The only guys who look like they’re rich at Saban, Sumlin, Joker, and Spurrier. Muschamp looks hilarious. Freeze looks like an idiot.Petrino looks like he just got blasted in the face with a bunch of cold air. Mullen (underdressed) and Richt both look a little awkward. And someone please punch James Franklin in the face.
To sum it up…
Underdressed guys who look stupid: Muschamp, Mullen, Freeze, Pinkel, Chizik
Guys who obviously can’t dress themselves: Dooley, Miles
Guys who did well or alright: Richt, Petrino, Joker, Saban, Sumlin, Franklin, Spurrier
Worst Dressed: Chizik by a mile.
Best Dressed: Probably Saban
Needs to be punched: Muschamp, Franklin, Chizik
