SEC Network adding new show with Cole Cubelic, Roman Harper

Cole Cubelic is one of our favorite football guys here at Kentucky Sports Radio and he’s about to get some well-deserved shine. Cubelic and Roman Harper will host Read & React, a new show on the SEC Network on Monday nights. The two, who played at rival schools Auburn and Alabama, will recap the weekend in the SEC, breaking down key plays, players, units, and teams that stood out. Read & React premieres Monday, Sept. 4 at 7 p.m. ET.

In addition to the new weekly show, Cubelic will continue his field analyst position on the SEC Network’s Saturday night game alongside Tom Hart and Jordan Rodgers. Harper will continue his role on SEC Nation and SEC Now. In other SEC Network programming news, Takeo Spikes will join Alyssa Lang on Out of Pocket Presented by Academy Sports + Outdoors starting Aug. 30 at 7 p.m. ET.

Now, if we could only get Listicuffs on the SEC Network lineup, we’d be set. Cole, as a previous guest, can you put in a good word?
