Auburn bribing students to show up for ‘SEC Nation’ Saturday?

Forgive Auburn fans if they aren’t super-pumped for the arrival of SEC Network’s “SEC Nation” broadcast on campus this Saturday. The Tigers have lost seven straight home games against Power Five teams.

With divisional rival LSU coming to town, Auburn is taking extraordinary measures to make sure fans turn out for the show. Here is an email that students received from the Auburn Athletic Department Tuesday afternoon:

AUBURN, Ala. – SEC Nation, SEC Network’s traveling college football preview show, is headed to Auburn University for this weekend’s matchup against LSU.

The show, featuring Maria Taylor, Tim Tebow, Marcus Spears, Paul Finebaum and Laura Rutledge, will go live from the Wellness Kitchen Green Space Saturday morning from 9 to 11 a.
