Auburn welcomes SEC Nation's Tebow, Spears back to Plains, 0-3 during playing days

SEC Nation, the new SEC Network’s traveling pregame show originating from a different SEC campus each week, will be on The Plains Saturday.

The set will be located outside the stadium on the Campus Green which is located on the east side of Jordan-Hare Stadium. It is the same location where ESPN GameDay has set up in the past. The SEC Nation Fan Experience includes hard hats, a photo booth, a Plinko challenge and football challenge.

Fans are invited to tailgate around the set and the first fans to arrive will be invited to be a part of the crowd in the show. The show will be live from 9-11 a.m. central time.

An SEC Nation bus with corn hole and tailgating chairs that the television crew will be tailgating at throughout the morning. This is not a fan area, but fans will be able to watch.

Host Joe Tessitore will be joined by three commentators that have pretty good insight about the SEC. Radio show host Paul Finebaum, the voice of the SEC football fan, joins Tessitore along with two former SEC players: Heisman trophy winner and former Florida quarterback Tim Tebow as well former LSU defensive end and NFL veteran Marcus Spears.

Auburn hopes to continue to have a winning record when an ESPN produced show involves the Tigers. The Tigers are 8-7 when GameDay broadcasts from the site of an Auburn game, 5-3 when the show originates from Auburn.

Auburn fans can remind both Tebow and Spears that neither of them were successful when it came to playing at Jordan-Hare. The two were a combined 0-3.

LSU came to Auburn both times ranked in the Top 10 with Spears on the roster and lost. In 2002 unranked Auburn intercepted Marcus Randall four times, making his second start for the injured Matt Mauck, en route to a 31-7 shellacking of the No. 10 Tigers. Two years later Auburn, ranked No. 14 at the time, score a touchdown in the last minute, to defeat No. 4 LSU 10-9. In 2006 against the unbeaten and No. 2 Gators, Auburn scored 19 unanswered points to knock off Florida 27-17. Tebow, in spot duty, scored a second quarter, 16-yard touchdown run. That turned out to be Florida’s last point scored.
