SEC Media Days start tomorrow in Alabama. The University of Florida is scheduled for Wednesday from 1:10 - 3:10 p.m. I’m sure you can dial in to any local SEC sports radio stations (like 1010xl.com) and get constant updates. I was shocked to see Percy Harvin missing from the lineup for the Univeristy of Florida. The Gators obviously have Coach Urban Meyer and QB Tim Tebow scheduled for the press conference, but they also brought along OT Phil Trautwein, who didn’t play last year. But he is a senior, so I can’t really argue it.
Chris Low of ESPN.com had this to say about the situation: “Florida receiver Percy Harvin: I know coaches like to spread the wealth and bring one offensive and one defensive player, but Harvin is the most exciting playmaker in the league. Maybe his surgically repaired right heel simply couldn’t withstand the pounding of walking to and from all those interviews. Nah, Percy’s shown on the field he’s a lot tougher than that.”
It must have been a hard decision for Urban to make. The fans and the media want to see Percy Harvin. They want to know how he’s doing. With a good year in 2008, Percy will be headed to the NFL… so I don’t think he’ll get another chance to participate in an SEC Media Day. O-well.
