Bobby Petrino wasn't in the room in Dallas, but the offensive coordinator's return to the Arkansas Razorbacks was a popular topic of conversation at SEC Media Days on Thursday. Head coach Sam Pittman told ESPN his decision to hire the controversial Petrino was all about the Razorbacks' desire to win, going on to claim at the podium that he is not worried about meshing with the man who once held his position. Petrino was at the helm of the Razorbacks from 2008-11 and led them to a Cotton Bowl win in the 2011 season. But he was fired in April...

DALLAS -- Jalen Milroe was down to three suits and still a little worried about whether he selected the right fit for SEC Media Days on Wednesday. A relatively tiny decision made Wednesday morning stands out as a big example of how things have changed in one year for the Alabama starting quarterback. "It came down to the shoes. You got to start with the shoes when you start your outfit off so I got the black Pradas on and then you build up from there," Milroe said of his selection of attire at the Omni Hotel on the third...

Alabama will honor retired football coach Nick Saban by naming the field at Bryant-Denny Stadium after him, media outlets reported Thursday. Saban won six of his seven career national championships in 17 years coaching the Crimson Tide. The Alabama university system board of trustees is scheduled to meet Friday, with a resolution on the agenda for a naming at the stadium in Tuscaloosa, ESPN reported. Tide Illustrated first reported the news, with the dedication ceremony scheduled for Sept. 7 when Alabama hosts South Florida. The Crimson Tide open their season under new head coach Kalen DeBoer against Western Kentucky on Aug. 31. Saban, 72, retired from coaching in January, finishing with a career mark of 297-71-1 -- 206 of those wins coming at Alabama (with 29 losses). He began his head coaching career at Toledo in 1990. He coached Michigan State from 1995-99 before accepting the head coaching job at LSU in 2000. He won his first national title in 2003 at LSU. Now a college football analyst for ESPN, Saban has a statue of him along with the Crimson Tide's other national title-winning coaches on the Walk of Champions outside the stadium. --Field Level Media

The populations of Telfair County and Stewart County, both largely rural counties with agricultural based economies and located in the Southern half of Georgia, shrunk by more than 12% each from 2020 to 2023, according to data from the US Census Bureau.

After one seasons at Gonzaga, Luka Krajnovic will return to his native Croatia to continue his basketball career. Krajnovic announced on his Instagram account that he will play next season for KK Cedevita's junior club team in his hometown of Zagreb. The 6-foot-5, 185-pound guard averaged 3.1 points, 1.4 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 8.7 minutes in 15 games as a true freshman for the Bulldogs in 2023-24. He shot 46.7 percent from the floor, including 33.3 percent (3 of 9) from 3-point range. Krajnovic missed nine games early in the season because of a broken hand injured and was sidelined for the Sweet 16 game against Purdue because of illness. He was a reserve behind starting guards Ryan Nembhard and Nolan Hickman, as well as freshman wing Dusty Stromer. Krajnovic and 6-9 freshmen forward Pavle Stosic of Serbia were the only Bulldogs on scholarship from last season's team to enter the transfer portal, with Stosic committing to Utah State. --Field Level Media
