Finally, "The Paul Finebaum Show" will kick things off for the weekend, filming live from Carnahan Quad from 2-6 p.m. on Friday.

This will be the first time the set of SEC Network shows travel to Columbia since 2019 when the Tigers hosted West Virginia.

"This is something that goes back a long way," head coach Eli Drinkwitz said of the rivalry at SEC Media Days. "It's very deep. It's something that our team is very keenly aware of. We understand the implications, the importance to our state. Look forward to playing that game, especially having it at home."
