Next Four SEC Nation Stops Revealed; Second Location Added for This Weekend

SEC Network’s traveling pregame show, SEC Nation, has scheduled its next four campus stops, and announced a second set for this Saturday, Oct. 31.

On Saturday, SEC Nation host Joe Tessitore, analyst Tim Tebow, Marcus Spears and commentator Paul Finebaum take the set to Big Blue Nation in Lexington, Ky., to preview the Tennessee at Kentucky game. In addition to the Purple Lot set, SEC Nation’s Greg McElroy and SEC Network host Peter Burns join the show live from the tailgating scene in Jacksonville, Fla., prior the Georgia vs. No. 11 Florida* neutral-site matchup. This will mark the show’s first trip to a neutral site game and first time televising from two locations.
