And so it begins. Umpires across college baseball uttered the phrase “play ball” this weekend, signifying the start of the 2013 season. In the Southeastern Conference, 44 games were played, league teams took to the diamond for the first time this year.

"People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring." Whenever a new season of baseball is set to begin, I always find myself going back to find this famous quote. Uttered by Hall of Famer Rogers Hornsby, it perfectly illustrates the wait a true baseball fan endures, as the cold weather of fall replaces the sunshine filled days of summer.

SEC Insider: 2012 Year In Numbers

The 2012 year was historic for the Southeastern Conference. When the calendar closes on this particular year in SEC history, it will be remembered for decades to come. The word history took many forms in the past 365 days, both on the field and off of it. The SEC family expanded (more on that to come), adding new members (Missouri and Texas A&M) into the league for the first time since 1992.

To look at the resume of Florida volleyball coach Mary Wise, it might be hard to believe that she could have packed all of those accomplishments into a 22-year period. What Wise has done during her time in Gainesville has been nothing short of remarkable and her impact has been the driving force in revolutionizing the sport of volleyball in the Southeastern Conference.

Talk about best laid plans. With the SEC Championship Game in our rearview mirror, the Digital Network reverted to its normal routine, planning coverage for the league's upcoming news. This week's schedule seemed small compared to last week's #SECATL monstrosity, so I laid out a release plan based on the event cycle.

The Monday "Three And Out": #SECATL

It is the morning after. I'm staring out my hotel window into downtown Atlanta, a mere 1.4 miles from the Georgia Dome. Walk five minutes from this spot and you'll reach Centennial Park, the area of town that played host to over 100,000 fans from Tuscaloosa, Athens and everywhere else in the Southeast on Saturday. I am that short distance away from the latest chapter of Southeastern Conference history.

The Monday "Three And Out": Rivalry Week

When you have six SEC teams ranked in the top 10 of the Bowl Championship Series standings, you have a quality league. Quality teams are led by quality coaches, leaving a remarkably difficult choice when it comes to naming the best of the best.

The Tuesday Take: Phillips Deserving Of Rousing Send-Off

In the game of college football, the bottom line comes down to winning. There’s no questioning that fact. But it’s also a people business – it’s about educating young student-athletes and providing them the opportunity to be successful in all facets of life once they graduate.

The Tuesday Take: A New Vanderbilt

SCartell — Tue, 13 Nov 2012 15:26:00 GMT

I know what you must have been thinking after four games. The exact thing a fan shouted at Vanderbilt head coach James Franklin early last season. “Same Old Vanderbilt, Coach." That sentiment was wrong then and it’s wrong now.

Before we begin breaking down what might end up as the most pivotal weekend of the Southeastern Conference football season, I’d be remiss if I didn’t open with what truly matters.
