SEC Media Days are always full of coach speak, optimism for the new season and little in the way of new, substantial information.

But that doesn’t mean it’s always boring.

Whether it’s when a coach breaks script, a player shows his personality or a coach is forced to grin and talk about a bitter rival, some moments from the first day are worth remembering.
