At the conclusion of every Southeastern Conference Media Days, the conference announces its media picks for a trio of All-SEC teams and predicted finishes for each of the 14 member football programs for the upcoming football season. While this is a valuable exercise in understanding the expectations of the media that cover the Southeastern Conference, we at Red Cup Rebellion feel that this annual tradition overlooks another important set of expectations: those of SEC football fans themselves.
Don't get us wrong; the traditional sports media has valuable perspective to offer! They watch football too, and they speak to coaches and players to get a deeper insight into what might play out on the gridiron this fall, but we want ideas and opinions informed by a view from the stands, not from the pressbox.
