95.3 The Ticket will have 8 hours of Media Day coverage starting at 10 AM coming up on Monday, July 22. I don't have the schedule yet, but I would expect interviews with most, if not all, of the league's coaches, plus Commish Gill, bowl reps, Steve Shaw, and of course the full A-State contingent. You can tune in at 953theticket.com or by downloading the Tune In app and searching for KNEA.

Would love to hear who will be there media wise covering your team so I can follow along with that, too. Links to any radio stations that are there would be awesome, plus twitter handles from your beat writers or other media folk. Thanks!

South Alabama's broadcast crew will be there and covering it for 99.5 The Jag.
Here's their lineup for Monday:

9:08am - Eliah Drinkwitz
9:20am - Chip Lindsey
9:30am - Jamey Chadwell
9:50am - Keith Gill
10am - Steve Shaw
10:08am - Dr. Joel Erdmann
10:20am - Steve Campbell
10:30am - Chad Lunsford

King Keith said the Sun Belt is happy at 10/12

Announcers pick ULM as their sleeper team this season.

Announcers comment that Georgia Southern had the best turn around of any FBS team last season.

Announcers comment on the Sun Belt being a conference of new coaches, but still pick App to win.

I really like new commissioner Keith Gill. I feel like he has the best interest of the student athletes at heart and he’s excited about where this conference is headed.

Remarked on our great Out-Of-Conference performance the past few seasons.

Obligatory, “App State beat Michigan in 2007” plug as an example of a Sun Belt win against a ranked team despite App not being a Sun Belt team at the time.

Overall, great opening.

I barely missed Gills address. Did he say anything about TV deals?

We are I think 6 years out from the next negotiation. Really not much reason to talk TV deal.

Hard to beat steak and eggs. Apparently it's what they do every year.

How is the media turn out for this?

Not sure on the answer to this, but I can tell you that when Commissioner Gill opened it up to questions after his opening address, there were no questions...

It's interesting to see the evolution of media. The traditional journalist who spends 4 years being indoctrinated with all the PC agenda and talking points is becoming less relevant. There is plenty of coverage of everything. It's like we don't even need these "media days" anymore. Is anything really going to be "news"? I'm grateful to be able to consume media with multiple points of view and insights.

It's frustrating that our beat writer covered ACC media day, but nothing today on Sun Belt media day...
