O/U on press at Elko's Q&A, and how many aggy posts complaining about how the SEC game them the short end of the stick going last on Day 4? 

11 press in attendance, 8-4 posts complaining on TexAgs

Though TexAgs posters were positively giddy about the War Hymn being played during Sark's walk-up - "yeah, we trolled them 'sips"

[Tuco Ramirez]

So what major announcement will Sark have during Elko’s press conference?

That last season, Sark coached as many regular-season games ranked No. 1 in the AP poll (four) as A&M has played in its history (one in 1939, three in 1957).

I've made my way to the Atlanta airport. John Burrows is on his way back to the venue to finish the day and OTF's coverage of media days.

Why is Burke drying himself with a towel during an interview? I haven't watched the whole video yet.

The Aggies being an afterthought at SEC Media Days - after the Longhorns garnered so much attention - has to just eat little brother from the inside. So, so sad for them. Poor Aggies.

At least some people heard their fight song when Sark was introduced.

Timing really doesn't matter though, Texas could have been last and still would have garnered a majority of the attention and the scrum around Arch would probably still be the largest for the week.  The Aggies could have been sandwiched between Georgia and Alabama and that would have been everyone took their lunchbreak.  Except for Billy of course, he'd be there covering his beloved Aggies.

They're lucky they weren't put right before or after Texas because then it would be really obvious in the contrast of coverage, which they would blame on Texas or some other conspiracy.

IIRC they are one of the 3 guaranteed rivalry games every year along with OU and ATM.

Last year in Fayateville, I was sitting behind this young lady and her son (Arkansas fans). The little boy kept turning around and I ended up chatting with him and his Mom. At HT, I gave him a dollar to do the Hook'em and he did. He was about 6-7 years old. He got a kick out of his Mom not liking him doing it, so of course he kept doing it all game long.

After about 10-15 minutes, she could help but laugh. She turned around and told me that the little boy's dad used to play for Arky. She face timed him and you could tell he didn't like it, but he conceded and laughed too. Best dollar I ever spent!

Give the man respect! He won as many conference championships as Dennis Franchione, Mike Sherman, Kevin Sumlin, Jimbo and Tickle Me Elmo

Texas A&M CB Will Lee was asked which opposing field he is most looking forward to playing at:

"I can't wait to play at Texas. Me being at K-State, losing there in overtime and just getting back there and just beating them at their home was going to be the best thing to me. That's real exciting for me."
