SEC media days kick off without familiar face -- and mouth -- of Steve Spurrier

Talking season will never be the same in college football. If you want proof, tune in this week to the SEC football media days.

Love him or loathe him, Steve Spurrier was usually the star of the event, whether he was jabbing former SEC commissioner Roy Kramer about the BCS, cracking one-liners about his rivals or being the only head coach to leave Tim Tebow off his preseason All-SEC ballot.

"I guess it will be a little quieter down there this year," Spurrier told ESPN.com.

Talk about understatements. The whole sport will be a little quieter, and maybe a little less fun, too, now that Spurrier has walked away from coaching.
