September 11, 2014 | Football
Tennessee will be a part of two of the most-recently announced SEC Nation Shows as the Vols will be playing at Georgia (Sept. 27) and at Ole Miss (Oct. 18) when the SEC Network show airs from Athens and Oxford. The show will air live from Knoxville at a date to be announced later this season.
Here is the release from SECSports.com
SEC Network's traveling pregame show, SEC Nation, has set its next four SEC campus stops. The slate includes Georgia, Kentucky, Arkansas and Ole Miss. The show, featuring Joe Tessitore, Tim Tebow, Marcus Spears, Paul Finebaum and Kaylee Hartung will bring the sights and sounds of every SEC campus before the college football season ends. SEC Nation airs live on SEC Network every Saturday from 10 a.m. - noon ET.
The show debuted at Gamecock Park in Columbia, S.C., for the SEC primetime matchup of Texas A&M at South Carolina and closed out week one at Auburn in front of Jordan-Hare Stadium. For its third show SEC Nation set up shop in front of a Music City skyline and a rare NFL stadium backdrop for the Ole Miss vs. Vanderbilt game at LP Field. This week's show will take place at "Plaza of the Americas" on the Florida campus, followed by a previously-announced visit to Alabama on Saturday, Sept. 20.
The new slate of visits includes the first time an ESPN college football pregame show has telecast from The Grove at Ole Miss. At every campus scheduled the show aims to visit non-traditional television locations in an effort to embed itself within pre-existing SEC fandom.
