    • SEC Traditions: What Used To Be A Phone Call

      If you’ve never been to an NFL draft in New York City at Radio City Music Hall, which starts a three-day run Thursday night, then put it on your sports bucket list. It’s definitely a show, “like Hollywood,” LSU football coach Les Miles said. But it wasn’t always this way, which is why I called Archie Manning, to give me perspective as he almost always does.

    • The SEC "Numbers Game": Volume 2

      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.
    • The SEC "Numbers Game": The Beginning

      "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 "Where Are They Now?": Eddie Nunez
    Eddie Nunez thought he was destined for a future in coaching. And when Marquette head coach Tom Crean came calling with a position on his coaching staff, it appeared that Nunez was well on his way in the coaching world. But after a year as the men’s basketball administrative assistant at Marquette, Nunez knew that his heart was in athletic administration. He had worked a number of odd jobs in the athletic department at the University of Florida, his alma mater, while finishing his graduate degree and came to realize his passion was in another area of sports.  Full Story

    The Monday "Three and Out"
    For the first time this year, it finally felt like fall. Driving on my way to work, I started to notice leaves changing colors. I actually wore jeans this week when I headed out at night, and brought a jacket with me just in case. We have been playing Southeastern Conference football for nearly two months now, but this is the first week it actually felt like that should be the case. Fall is my favorite season of the year, and I’m glad it is finally here.  Full Story

    SEC "Insider" Blog: Lunch At The SEC
    Lunch is one of my favorite parts of the work day. Not only do you get to eat (one of my favorite pastimes), but often lunch gets you out of the office, giving you a mental break from anything difficult that may be going on. You get to step out with colleagues, explore the city and recharge your batteries for the afternoon. Lunch marks the mid-point of the day, meaning that it is all downhill when you return to the office. That along with the great variety of quality restaurants in the Birmingham area makes the lunch hour one of the high points of the day.  Full Story
