For the second year, the SEC Network is turning over its control room to the 14 Southeastern Conference schools for a two-week stretch. Beginning Monday, July 18, each school will exclusively program 24-hours of the network with classic games, films, ESPN original content and school-produced content.
 
 
UGA takeover day on the SEC Network is set for Tuesday, July 26 and will feature 10 marquee events from Bulldog annals, as well as a number of feature films. Included on the list of scheduled games are a pair of wins from Georgia’s national football championship season of 1980, the basketball victory that propelled Georgia to the 1983 Final Four, and most recently, the softball team’s dramatic win over Florida that sent the Bulldogs into the Women’s College World Series this spring.
