Spears continues to shine as an analyst, adding a multitude of studio shows to his repertoire since joining the network in 2014. In addition to his weekly seat at the SEC Nation desk, Spears served as one half of SEC Network’s debut studio show, Thinking Out Loud. Getting out from behind an anchor desk and moving into an office cubicle desk with co-host, Greg McElroy, the duo brought fun and fanfare to their weekly rundown of all things SEC football every Monday night throughout the fall. The pair pulled off a special edition of Thinking Out Loud surrounding the bracket reveal for the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, because “you can’t spell bracketology without TOL.”

“Marcus is invaluable to our football coverage for a myriad of reasons, most especially because of his knowledge of the game and his connection to our audience,” McCollum noted. “The passion you see from him on our shows is genuine, and it only adds to his popularity as an analyst. He doesn’t hide his love for SEC football and it’s part of what makes him so fun to watch. We know our viewers are just as excited as we are to have Marcus return as a member of the SEC Network family.”
