Good Morning from the Gaylord Entertainment Center

Hello from the GEC

I found a space back in the media workroom to log on ... It's just 11 a.m. CT and there are already a slew of media members getting ready for a full day of basketball ... We had our 10:15 meeting with the SEC office and on the first day I am in charge of getting SportsTicker scores that are faxed to the SEC Media HQ ... The way the system works is, we call in to a number and punch in a fax number and within minutes we have scores from all the tournaments going on around the country this week ... I have not yet ventured in to the media food room, but it's getting that time to eat before the first game tips off ... Everything in the arena has the throwback feeling as the SEC is going throwback ... All teams this week will wear retro jerseys from seasons past.
