Usual rock star following follows Alabama's Nick Saban as he begins SEC media days
The Wynfrey, just before the SEC media days craziness began this morning when Alabama football coach Nick Saban walked into the hotel.Shortly after 8 o'clock this morning, Alabama football coach Nick Saban walked into the Wynfrey, where SEC Kickoff 2008 is being held. You know, lots of media. And, of course, lots of fans and media following the Crimson Tide coach.When Saban's in the house, it's almost like the Rolling Stones taking the stage.Saban's first stop at media days was the WJOX radio table, where former Bama quarterback Jay Barker and former Auburn and NFL kicker Al Del Greco host a morning talk show.Saban talked about this year's team, which he said made dramatic improvement in the weight room and in the offseason conditioning program. And with a big year from quarterback John Parker Wilson, since there are only nine seniors on the team, he can see a young Alabama squad being very competitive in the Southeastern Conference race.There will be more from Saban a short while later. Tune in.
