Comedian Nate Bargatze will join ESPN’s College GameDay as the guest picker ahead of Saturday’s SEC matchup between Missouri and Vanderbilt.
A Nashville native and lifelong Commodores fan, Bargatze brings local flair to the national broadcast. His mother once worked in Vanderbilt’s ticket office, and he’s often spoken about his Tennessee roots in his stand-up routines and podcast.
The matchup is one of the Southeastern Conference’s marquee games. They are among six SEC teams with only one loss, trailing No. 4 Alabama and No. 3 Texas A&M at the top of the league.

Nashville's skyline looks drastically different than when I came to NewsChannel 5 in 1993. A lot of those changes have happened in just the last several years, and the skyline continues to grow. Sky 5 and several viewers have been able to visually document it. I love Austin's look back!
