In just nine months, the Southeastern Conference and ESPN will launch the SEC Network together.It’s now becoming clearer exactly what fans can expect to see on the network.SEC Commissioner Mike Slive and ESPN’s Senior Vice President Justin Connolly held a joint press conference on Friday at the Georgia Dome before the league’s football championship game, making several announcements about the network. Headlining the press conference was the announcement that the SEC will kick off the 2014 football season on the network with a Thursday-night doubleheader. It will mark the first time ever that the college football year will begin on a conference network.”In a span of two days or three days, we’ll have five football games on the SEC Network, and then a triple-header every Saturday thereafter,” Slive said. “Our goal is to get somewhere close to 45 football games on the network each fall.”Joining the previously announced Texas A&M-South Carolina game, Temple and Vanderbilt will face off on Aug. 28 to get the 2014 season rolling. UK won’t play in the opening doubleheader, but you can be sure the Wildcats will play on the SEC Network multiple times in Mark Stoops’ second season.For that reason, it remains important that UK fans make their voices heard in calling for their cable and satellite providers to carry the SEC Network.

A sort of SEC-centric version of ESPN’s popular College GameDay, SEC Nation will travel to an SEC campus each week, starting with stops in Columbia, S.C., for South Carolina-Texas A&M on Aug. 28 and Auburn, Ala., for Auburn-Arkansas on Aug. 30.”The thing that’s unique about the SEC, as all of you know is what the pregame experience is, and we want to take people into that,” said ESPN’s Stephanie Druley. “We want people at home to feel like I’ve been there even though I haven’t. Because there is nothing like it.”Additionally, the SEC Storied documentary series that began in 2011 will expand on the SEC Network. Ten original features will be produced next year to celebrate the rich tradition of the nation’s best conference.”We’ll go from four to ten a year, and we’ll debut six of the ten on the network, and we’ll debut the other four on ESPNU, and then move it over to the network,” Slive said. “So that rounds out, at least for me, the storytelling. You know, it celebrates great games, great athletes and great moments.”With approximately 45 SEC football games, more than 100 men’s basketball games, 60 women’s basketball games, 75 baseball games and events from 21 more SEC sports set to air, more such moments will surely be airing live on the SEC Network.
