For 33 consecutive Julys, I've driven to Birmingham for the constantly-expanding circus known as SEC Football Media Days.
The first one was held in 1985 in the ballroom of the Birmingham Holiday Inn Medical Center. You wouldn't had known it was taking place unless you got lost in the hotel and stumbled across the room.
It was like staging a media event in witness protection.
There were 10 round tables, one for each coach. The 60 or so media members on hand (including me) moved from table to table and had face-to-face conversations.
It was a Media Day, not days.
