SEC Nation’s 14-week tour of SEC campuses made its visit to the Grove Saturday for the showdown between Ole Miss and Tennessee, and the SEC Network’s pregame show threw a party similar to the one College GameDay threw in the Grove two weeks ago, although perhaps scaled down a bit from GameDay’s festivities.
Speaking of GameDay, it was on campus in Tallahassee, Florida for a battle between fellow unbeatens Florida State and Notre Dame, and fans in attendance did not shy away from a strong anti-ESPN stance, claiming the network holds strong SEC bias. There was also plenty of buzz surrounding Jameis Winston, for better or for worse, but that’s been true since he broke out last year.
The signs featured in the crowds of both pregame shows certainly lived up to the standard set in the first half of the season. Here are the best signs of the morning:
