From the “Talk too much studios,” let’s go.

We’re just a few days away from signing day, a day I liken to Christmas Day for college football fans. We all wake up in great anticipation of what the day holds. There are the gifts that you know for sure that you’ll be getting and there are the surprise gifts that you didn’t know you would get.
Then there are the gifts that you thought you would get, but don’t, and later find out that your neighbor, Johnny Bama fan, got it. On rare occasions there are the gifts you receive a few days after Christmas, a la Bryce Brown (but let’s not even go there).
Signing day is also about extravagant press conferences. 5@10, let’s say you’re the #1 rated running back in the country and you’ve waited till signing day to announce your?college of choice. What kind of outlandish press conference are you holding? (And don’t say you wouldn’t add some flair because we all know you’re the King of Flash) Do you break out the hats? Do you bring your dog? Whatcha got?
