Both shows will originate from the Ayres Hall lawn. SEC Nation airs live from 10 a.m.-noon on SEC Network and follows Marty & McGee, which airs from 9-10 a.m.
Laura Rutledge hosts SEC Nation, her seventh season in the host’s chair and her eighth on the show overall, and she is joined by Tennessee alumnus Paul Finebaum, Roman Harper, Jordan Rodgers and Tim Tebow for a weekly breakdown of the SEC football action to come.

Ayres Hall will also be home to The Paul Finebaum Show Presented by Johnsonville, with #FinebaumFriday live from 3-7 p.m.
This will be the 10th time that SEC Nation originates from the UT campus. The show was on hand in Nashville for the Vols’ season-opening victory over Virginia.
