Saturdays in the South: A History of SEC Football

The story of a game that became a way of life.

Saturdays in the South: A History of SEC Football is an eight-part, 12-hour film, presented by Regions Bank and directed by Peabody and Emmy-winning director Fritz Mitchell. It highlights over a century of college football history within the South. The passion for college football in the South runs deep, and on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the sport, there’s no better time to thoroughly and memorably explore it than through the lens of the Southeastern Conference. As part of the ESPN Films’ SEC Storied series and ESPN’s College Football 150 initiative, SEC Network debuted Saturdays in the South: A History of SEC Football over the course of eight consecutive Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET, beginning September 3, 2019.
