re: What SEC Media Days looked like in the 1980's

quote:

---

Every August from 1965 until 1983, the SEC Skywriters would tour the league schools. Forty or so newspaper and TV reporters, a few cameramen and SEC publicist Elmore "Scoop" Hudgins would climb onto an aging Convair aircraft, piloted by a guy known as "Crash" and the trip would begin. It was no place for the faint of heart.

Good read

I used to really enjoy the Skywriters tour as it was called.
They would fly to every SEC town and get on the field and report, in the paper or on tv.

I remember reading that the new reporters had to carry all the luggage. That is probably why it ended.
