‘Big production’ in works for Gamecocks-Aggies
quote:
MIRAMAR BEACH, FLA. — The SEC Network is planning its descent on Columbia to broadcast the Aug. 28 game between the Gamecocks host Texas A&M.
“It’s going to be a big production,” Justin Connolly said Wednesday at the SEC’s annual spring meetings. “It’s a chance for us to make a statement, and we are going to put a lot of resources behind it.”
Connolly is ESPN’s senior vice president of college networks and is in charge of running the SEC Network, which will debut Aug. 14 and broadcast its first football game from Williams-Brice Stadium two weeks later.
“I would say what (fans) can expect is the same high quality they would see for a Thursday night opener on ESPN,” Connolly said. “We are going to have a whole lot of bells and whistles just to show what the fans can expect when they tune into the SEC Network, they are going to get an A1 broadcast level experience.”
The network will broadcast its SEC Nation pregame show from Columbia but has not announced where the set will be located.
“We would love to mix it up and see if we can get some different angles as being the conference network that may not be available other places,” Connolly said, “but we are kind of getting into the details of what that might look like.”

Good to hear! It looks like all that work the Gamecocks put into improving the tailgating area around Williams-Brice Stadium is about to pay off for you in a big way!
