Maria Taylor, SEC Now Host, Sideline Reporter and Analyst:
“I have a few. On launch night, Dari (Nowkhah) and I hosted the first SEC Now and started a pre-show handshake tradition. It continues to be one of my favorite things.
“We had my old coach, Coach [Andy] Landers, on the set after the Georgia women’s basketball team won their first game in the tournament. It essentially ended up being his final live interview as the head coach of Georgia. He retired shortly afterwards.
“During the Tennessee Spring Game I was able to interview Peyton Manning and the defensive coordinator let me call plays for the defense during the game – wearing a [coach’s] headset was awesome!”
No coach has ever helped, taught or meant more to me than @UGACoachLanders #OneandOnly Epic career, Epic MAN @UGA_WBB @UGAAthletics
