SEC Nation is kicking off the football season in Fayetteville, Arkansas for the Razorbacks opening game against UTEP. The set returns to Victory Village Saturday, Sept. 5 with a new face at the desk. As announced previously, McElroy joins the show for its sophomore season after providing in-studio analysis for SEC Now, in addition to covering halftimes for every SEC Network football game and recapping the day of Southeastern Conference games every Saturday last year.
The show last visited Fayetteville prior to the Oct. 11, 2014 Alabama matchup, and had a memorable line-up of guests that included Arkansas super-fan and owner of the Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones, and head coach Bret Bielema (photos here).
Razorback fans are invited to arrive early to be a part of the second season premiere and spend the morning tailgating on national television. The three-hour show is live at 8 a.m. CT.
