SEC Nation is coming to Mississippi State University Saturday morning for the Alabama versus MSU game. ‘SEC Nation’ is the SEC Network’s version of ESPN’s popular pre-game show “College Gameday.” The show airs from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. central time and will be on the SEC Network.
The show itself is very similar to ‘College Gameday.’ There will be stage set up in the Junction that broadcasts the show live from there. SEC Nation hosts an impressive lineup that is made up of everything from radio show hosts to former NFL players.
The lineup consists of host Joe Tessitore, former Alabama Quarterback Greg McElroy, former Louisiana State and National Football League defensive lineman Marcus Spears, All-Time great SEC QB Tim Tebow, radio host Paul Finebaum and reporter Kaylee Hartung.
SEC Nation came to MSU last year for the game against Texas A&M, which MSU won 48-31.  It was also the first visit for any nationally aired pre-game show to MSU’s campus. 
“You cannot find a square inch of open grass (in the Junction). It’s the loudest fans we have heard so far in college football this year. It’s a truly incredible crowd,” host Joe Tessitore said during the broadcast about the atmosphere at the Junction. 
Radio host and analysist Paul Finebaum called the atmosphere “One of the most electric and extraordinary environments I’ve ever experienced covering the Southeastern Conference.”
After already having an excellent first impression last season and a top 20 matchup between Alabama and Mississippi State Saturday there will be a lot of hype surrounding the day. The game will not only affect the SEC West landscape but the landscape of college football as a whole. With the College Football Playoff in place MSU could shake things up with a win, which would not only knock Alabama out of contention but also put MSU back in the conversation.
What can be expected out of the show is a lot of banter back and forth between the personalities. With Joe Tessitore being the host, he has to balance out the loud personalities of Paul Finebaum and Marcus Spears. There will also be coverage down at the fan level from Kaylee Hartung. Then there will always be anticipation to see who Tim Tebow’s freak of the week this week. A segment that focuses on the biggest physical freak in the weight room. 
So get some sleep Friday night and wake up early Saturday morning and come out to the Junction to cheer on “SEC Nation” and maybe even get a chance to be on live TV. Expect some debate and expect some cheers and boos, but most of all expect a lot of fun.
