SEC Media Days got underway this week in Atlanta at the College Football Hall of Fame and it didn't take long for some memorable quotes to be uttered. SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey was asked about the conference adding teams and becoming a "super conference." Without flinching, he essentially said the SEC is already a "super conference" and has been for a while. Lane Kiffin, being his irreverent self, correctly, but bluntly compared NIL to "legalized cheating." This was only day one. I can't wait for the rest of the week. There are some exceptional coaches in this league in 2022 and they'll all have some quotable moments over the next few days. However, it won't compare to the Golden Age of Media Days when Coach Superior, himself, would take the podium and unleash the most hilarious and pointed barbs the conference has ever known. With that in mind, here are a few of the best and my favorite Steve Spurrier quotes from Media Days past.
"Will be the 14th time I've coached in Neyland Stadium… I've coached there more than some of their head coaches." The Volunteers were always one of the favorite targets of the Head Ball Coach. He took a special joy in turning the screws on the Big Orange. As usual, it was clever, acerbic and true. It was a good one, but not nearly one of the best involving Tennessee.
