Ess-E-Cee Media Daze Day One: Saban Speaks, UGA Next For NCAA...

Alabama Head Coach Nick Saban did not address the Marcell Dareus "did-he-or-didn't he" monkey with an agent issue at the Wynfrey Hotel...

Not that the HQ thought he would or anything like that...

He did go off on agents, and even went as far as suggesting that the university's attitudes may change toward agents and professional coaches if the dynamic does not change post-haste-and-toot-suite...

We did enjoy the idea that Saban called rogue agents "pimps."

Here's the greatest hits from Saban's presser, thanks to the SEC and ESPN...
As an added bonus we get analysis from Joe Schad...


Or, if you should so choose, here's the Saban presser in its entirety, thanks to our friends at WVTM-TV in Birmingham... and, of course, the SEC...


2330 UPDATE: Tim Tucker, on top of all things UGA for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, reports that Athens may be the next stop on the NCAA itinerary.

Just in time for head coach Mark Richt's appearance at Media Daze...

You like apples...???

From Tucker:

Georgia associate athletic director Claude Felton confirmed Wednesday’s call from the NCAA and said UGA Athletic Association officials responded by pledging full cooperation.

Felton said the NCAA requested that UGA officials, coaches and student-athletes decline further comment on the matter “until the inquiry is completed.” Georgia interim athletic director Frank Crumley declined to comment when reached by the AJC
.

Tucker also relays that UGA wideout AJ Green told SI.com before the inquiry was announced that he was not an attendee in South Beach...

Won't Day Two be fun, boys and girls...???
