It's one of college football's great traditions, even if it may be slightly less glorious in nature than "Rocky Top" at Neyland Stadium or "Won't Back Down" at The Swamp. The dawn of media days, and the message board fodder that comes with them, is a telltale sign that a new season is just a few more Saturdays away.

This week, SEC media days were held in Atlanta, with optimism and clippable lines available in abundance. From Steve Sarkisian walking out to Texas A&M's "Aggie War Hymn" to Diego Pavia's national championship dreams, there was plenty to talk about.
