Will Razorbacks Find Any Air in Alabama Media Days Circus?

In this story:


FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas will be at the annual SEC Media Daze of media folks interviewing primarily other media folks ... except on Wednesday when the Razorbacks will show up. The only problem is probably not a lot of people will be paying attention.

Hogs' coach Sam Pittman is bringing defensive end Landon Jackson, running back Raheim "Rocket" Sanders and quarterback KJ Jefferson with him to Nashville. Exactly who notices may be small. allHOGS will have complete coverage of what they say whenever it gets squeezed into anything.

The Hogs drew the unlucky position of being in the same day with Alabama, Florida and Kentucky. The Crimson Tide and the Gators usually draw the most attention and this year won't be any different with not much projected for the Hogs.

If you've never actually been to the Media Days, it's really hard to get the total feel of just how many people crowd everywhere from where the coaches and players arrive to the lobby of whatever the venue happens to be that year.

It is truly a madhouse and it literally sucks most of the oxygen out of the room for anything else. I was there one year and Ole Miss showed up with Hugh Freeze and he basically just walked through the room with only a handful of fans showing up to get autographs or anything.

This year, the busiest day will be Wednesday and Thursday when Tennessee shows up and you can bet the farm in Nashville there will be a ton of fans wearing that faded orange stuff on hand. It's one way to keep the crowd from clearing out by noon on the final day if they have the Vols near the back of the three teams coming that day (South Carolina and Ole Miss).
