Tuesday Thoughts: Jim McElwain's same old sounds and dull fury

For me, the only interesting part of Jim McElwain's trip through the ESPN "car wash" on Tuesday — part of an ongoing effort by the network to steal the shine from the Media Days being put on by the ACC and Big 12 continue highlighting the SEC — was his stop on Colin Cowherd's radio program. And Cowherd, a friend of McElwain's who shared a floor with the coach at Eastern Washington University in the early 1980s, wasn't even there!

Instead, professional SEC antagonist Danny Kanell and South Florida radio host Jon "Stugotz" Weiner, filling in for the absent Cowherd, took turns peppering McElwain with football questions and queries about Cowherd's college days, with Kanell handling the pigskin talk and Stugotz the softballs.
