SHREVEPORT, Louisiana -- The games won't begin until Labor Day weekend, but that doesn't mean athletes, coaches, fans and media can't start talking about college football.  The conference media days which once were held in late July keep creeping up on the calendars, ever closer to the Fourth of July. They get underway on Friday with the Southwestern Athletic Conference Media Day.  Here is what to expect from talking season in college football.
