Are live from the Birmingham Racecourse Casino Studios the next round presented by budlight is on now I can’t believe J Price is doubting us in the chat room so are you boys doing a show today question mark J Price are you not entertained of course we’re
Doing a show today is it a Tuesday is it a weekday do we have developing news on the Alabama football front of course we’re doing a show today Jim Dunaway Lance Taylor Ryan Brown and all the folks behind the scenes uh this is not our normal setup if you’re watching us
For the first time um anywhere in the country uh usually we’re in a beautiful studio all together face to face but because of weather here uh in Central Alabama where we’re located in Birmingham we are remote today from our different homes and locations and we appreciate everybody bearing with us as
We go non-stop over the next three hours uh to talk about everything going on and we’ll get to everything going on but we’ll start off the bat with just what’s going on with Alabama football I haven’t seen it reported yet anywhere guys uh but it’s a big portal day uh for Alabama
Defensive players because Alabama has their new DB and I was clicking on something about the portal from somebody else and the first name on top of the 24 seven portal list is Trey Amos who I love as a defensive back and I know we’re all watching Caleb downs and last
Night we get word that Kane wck is leaving uh South Alabama to come up and be the defensive coordinator with kayin dor man clock’s ticking on keeping that uh that defensive side of the football and really that whole roster together in tuscalo LT start us off man what do you
Think of the wck higher and the clock ticking well look I obviously there’s familiarity between Kane wmac and and and now Caleb dor guys that work together in Bloomington and this is a young guy energetic you guys have played around to golf with him he’s 36 years
Old um he’s got head coaching experience obviously leaving an FBS job in South Alabama to take this job obviously there’s familiarity within the state he recruited in Alabama to South Alabama and this is a guy that’s won 17 games over the last couple of years so he’s
Had success so for him to I think it shows you a couple of things I think it shows you how big a coordinator job is especially at a program like Bama to leave an FBS job a job you were having success at and I think number two the
More important thing is the trust he’s got in Caleb Bor uh you know for people there’s no way Kane wack is going to leave his job a head job at South Alabama to go as a defense coordinator under W or under Cayla dor if he doesn’t
Think it’s going to work out so he’s got a lot of confidence in kayin deor and and for those that don’t know the connection obviously they were together at Indiana under Tom Allen when Indiana was really good that one year Indiana had a really good year under Tom Allen
Both those guys cashed in on head coaching jobs Kane WX South Alabama uh eventually so uh they do have a familiarity and I do think it’s an interesting hire for all the reasons Lance mentioned dway uh his experience now he’s young but he’s got some coordinator experience it’s him head
Coaching experience already and he’s been successful at both to varying degrees uh his Connections in the South this is a guy that’s super connected to mobile which is recruiting hot bed obviously uh for any SEC school and throughout the state of Alabama and just the familiarity of the two you know
Knowing they know each other well they’ve been friends uh even after their days in Indiana they stayed in touch in fact Josh Pate last night sent out a couple of photos of Kane actually over in New Orleans at the Sugar Bowl uh in the team meeting rooms with the
Washington players and with kayin deor so uh this is a really interesting hire and um I’m with Lance you know we were kind of Lance is the guy it was sha Lewis right that left the Mac job for Colorado yeah yeah yeah yeah Sean Lewis left um Kent State yeah to go Colorado
And I remember when that happened that way us saying man we’re we’re at a time where guys are leaving head coaching jobs to go be major coordinators and here it is again and I think you only see more and more of this as more money gets thrown around and as we talked
About when we were kind of hitting at this yesterday uh we had been told that Kane was very much in the running uh your best path to being a major college football head coach might actually be being a coordinator rather than being a sitting head coach yeah and Lance all
You need to do is look at John suol at Troy who in the same league is a hot upand cominging coach he won the Sun Belt in backtack years and the best job he turned that into this year is tlane now tane’s doing making some noise on
The in the portal and and it’s a decent job but it’s not a power five job and so if you’re a successful defensive coordinator offensive coordinator in the power five especially in the SEC I think it can get you a job um somewhere of further up the
Food chain now that’s one side of it is him coming there and yes everyone in the chat room says well Alabama’s going to pay more money than South Alabama well yes they will I mean look at what LSU is doing a defensive coordinator $2.5 million I don’t know what he’s going to
Make but he can make more actually in Tuscaloosa than he could be as a head coach in the Sun Belt the other side of this is Trey Amos the other side of this is what’s Caleb DS gonna do I mean the amount of talent that is in the portal
Or signing somewhere else for Alabama is a big storyline around the country because this is one of the best rosters in college football if not the best before the retirement and now it is being picked over like an animal you’ve hit on the side of the road and Here
Come Those big black birds out of the sky I don’t even know what they’re called vultures they’re vultures yeah man even in the South like yeah oh yeah I saw they used to have one at the zoo and it’s been a long time but you could
See the vulture up close in personal and like eating its prey and man the uh I forgot what the uh the beak is actually called but the talons boy they rip that skin they r that flesh off you think got bad breath Lance uh yeah I would say
That a vure has probably some of the worst breath out there considering all they do is live off of dead carcasses y um I would think that that rot smell is probably they’re acclimated to it they’re probably fine with it but Caleb DS is one of those roadkill guys you
Don’t want to be plucked away and you know we talk about guys that have left the program and what people are getting and the money thrown at them and they call it a business decision you know some of these guys guys are getting overpaid I don’t know if you can overpay
Caleb Downs you know I know there’s going to be a number that Alabama is just not going to match but to me he was the best player in year one in Tuscaloosa I don’t know how you guys felt oh he I thought he was the best
Freshman in America yeah but I I thought he was the best player maybe on Alabama’s entire roster this year I know going into the next year he was going to be that so you got to do everything you can to keep this guy but at the end of
The day if uh you know if somebody offers him 1.5 which I would not be surprised you know and Alabama doesn’t want a match you know you I mean it’s a business decision for Bama too but man that’s that’s a big name uh brownie I I
Don’t think there’s a price I mean at some point you have to draw a line in the sand and and say you can’t let the best freshman in college football walk out the door I don’t think you can get out bit on this one yeah I would agree
Completely I think um I mean you hate to set that precedent done away because if Caleb d goes back to the locker room and says look what I got or if word leaks out the media and says look what I got you’re gonna have a whole group of guys
That are like I may not be Caleb DS but I’m pretty important to the offense I’m pretty important to the defense um and and now it becomes a Floodgate of guys in Kaylin dore’s office or Kane W’s office or Ryan Grub’s office saying hey it’s nice to meet you guys let me tell
You what it’s going to take for me to stay here and I mean that’s the president you fear setting but the other side of that is losing key players and you can’t afford to do that either I mean there is really there is a no- win situation in those terms if you’re
Alabama right now you’ve either got to pay the asking price and set a precedent that could cost you a lot more money down the road or you got to lose key players um and and that’s the risk you run that’s the world we live in and Alabama’s gonna have to play that game
And truthfully if you’re an Alabama fan um since this portal started and everything you haven’t really paid that much attention to the portal I mean you see it in passing you you’ll see it over there on the side of the road as you’re driving through your gated community of
College football with Nick Sabin as the head coach and you would pass it maybe past your guard shack where the barcode in the back of your SUV opens up your gate you don’t even have to stop and you just fly into your own neighborhood and you may see the pedestrians over there
Who are uh sifting through the trash of the portal on the side are trying to find that gym hidden over there but Alabama hadn’t had to worry about that in the portal era the guys that who who have left Alabama they weren’t the real stars of the team they were the the
Backups the guys that were providing depth and the guys you plucked out there were one or two here they were supposed to contribute some turned out to be very important oftentimes there was a lot of um a lot of uh popping circumstance and not a lot of Sizzle to the stake there
But now all of a sudden you’re Alabama without Nick Sabin and this has been a portal 101 for this Alabama fan base I think a lot of Alabama fans for the first time are actually learning about how the portal works and as I’m seeing in the chat room they’re sitting here
Going man this needs to be regulated we need rules look I I agree though man there are no guard rails uh it is the wild west it seems like it’s getting Wilder but it works both ways so Alabama gets guys pluck for them guess what Alabama
Can go pluck guys from other rosters and you know the good news for Alabama fans is Nick s was the greatest of all time no doubt but he’s a guy that really had reservations of embracing nil did Embrace nil and they obviously got with
It a little bit but I still I don’t know if Nick sa was ever comfortable with it you know from what you hear kayin dor uh Embraces it he knows it is the future of college football and he’s all about it so I know the collective is excited that
He is 100% behind it but you know I to me the the number one priority out there is Caleb DS so one of one of my lasting memories of right after Jennifer and I got married was the first time she went to buy groceries and she came home and she was
Basically in tears I said what happened she goes you will not believe how much I just had to spend at the grocery store because you had to buy everything right like we had just moved into our apartment and she had to go buy you know all the cleaning supplies buy meat buy
Bread buy milk buy drinks buy everything everything and she’s like if this is what I have to spend to the grocery store all the time I don’t know how we’re going to make it and uh I was is like well you know maybe some of this
Will last more than one trip to the grocery store and ultimately it did and that’s Alabama’s problem right now is Texas is able to run to the grocery store for a good stake and Isaiah Bond right that’s all they got to buy Alabama’s having to buy all the
Groceries at the same time right now and and that’s that’s what’s going to happen I mean you just wait one day Kirby Smart will retire or take an NFL job and this same exact thing is going to happen at Georgia or uh dbo will retire and the
Same exact thing’s going to happen at Clemson or s will move on and it’s going to happen in Texas I mean that’s that’s the way this is going to be as Texas can come in and shop for one or two players Alabama’s now having to shop for all the
Groceries they’ve got to make sure everybody on the roster that they value is taken care of and I guess I mean you would say that’s one of the unintended consequences of of nil um but it is what it is and it’s the way it’s going to be forever
Now I will tell you guys to watch your toes because I’m about to name drop here old Marty Marty Smith line on the show um but I was on with Dusty and Danny on SiriusXM this morning and when I was done uh a sitting power five athletic
Director texted me and said I did a good job and I won’t say his name but uh I said man it’s just crazy with all the people that are leaving or potentially leaving Alabama and I said good luck to you in your job the next five years I
Mean to buckle up it’s going to be it’s it’s it’s tough to do your job these days and he said quote we created this monster ourselves and we got to live with it end quote and that’s true I mean this is you know when when you’re able
To uh succeed at the way the system is and have success at it you don’t want to change it because it’s working for you and then all of a sudden when you get to a certain point that it’s starting to hurt you then it’s like oh dang it wish
We hadn’t have done this but here we are we live in this world now so you got to load up your bullets and go play the game and that’s what’s happening now yeah look I mean what was it uh 20 guys initially entered the portal even with Nick Sav as the head
Coach um or maybe 15 and five have done it since the but nobody was worried about that right because that was just hey that happens every year Alabama recruits so many good players these guys are not up there in the too deep or they’re not the starters they’re goingon
To leave business as usual yeah I think even if Caleb Downs I mean Alabama fans would obviously be upset because they see that this is a it seems like a generational type player um but if he would have if Nick s was still there and
Downs left it would be like okay we can keep this thing together um I think the sky will be falling if Downs is is to leave under KB the bo at the first week he takes takes over the program yeah but but dway the reason it’s not the reason
But it is one of the reasons and it listen it could if this had happened it could still be the same exact situation we’re in right now in college athletics but the NCAA had ample time to embrace this and prepare for it and instead they buried their heads in the sand and said
We’re not paying plate we’re not P we’re not going to allow players they got to be Amur this this Antiquated amateurism that for some reason the NCAA has always loved such an Antiquated stupid idea with awful Roots uh they’ve embraced it for 100 150 years however long it is and
They were they said you’re gonna drag this out of our cold dead hands so they buried their head head in the sand and thought this would go away and it didn’t go away so now the NCAA wants to come and say oh my God we need guard rails
Well you’re the reason we don’t have guard rails the NCAA is the the reason this is what it is and now they’re wanting to ring their hands and say it’s got to be fixed when they could have fixed it years ago now look it could have gotten out of control and
Eventually got herea only has to look in the mirror as the reason this is the way it is right now and it’s why I think the schools the big schools will take it in their hands to try to fix this thing and the NCAA will be out of business in four
Five six years and the Alabama and Auburn’s and Texas as the world will be in their own Division and other te will be in their own division that’s that’s I think what this is going towards would did you see what Jamie Chadwell said at to Bear Bryan Awards I did not Jamie
Chadwell is the Liberty head coach longtime Coastal Carolina Coach uh did a great job this year had the Liberty what was it the Fiesta Bowl um and he said um we need our own National Championship he’s a he’s he’s Liberty and he was in the Fiesta Bowl he was in the New Year’s
Six bowl and he said we need to go ahead and divide this we need to have uh the power five basically the that that Division National Championship and the group of five needs its own national championship and that CA that comes from the the coach who had the best year at
That level this year and he says we need our own National Championship yeah well I mean look why would you not because guess what if you’re the coach winning one of those nationville championships and Jamie Chadwell would have been in that situation this year um or those not
Going to be the first guys that are hired to the uh to you know the Big 10 jobs the SEC jobs those are the guys that are going to be getting those jobs so I’d say the same thing if I was jamy CH but it does make sense I mean I don’t
Know if I fully accepted or Embrace that but it’s kind of the direction we’re heading okay do me a favor brownie you find us some good comments in the chat room over there Brown’s gonna be in charge of the chat room while LT and I talk about odies and Redmont here to

Two Tampa Bay one but we’ll talk about that a little bit later on I can not believe my Rams are not playing in Tampa this weekend we would have whipped y’all’s ass yeah yeah yeah easy to say from the sidelines but we’ll get into that it’s a long show tell us about the
Chat room Bernie what’s happening over there what are people think about everything we’ve touched on so far with wck and by the way um I’ve I’ve said wac forever and um I was talking to um Simone sessions a great sports reporter down mobile last night we were talking
About Kane and she goes please stop saying wac it’s not wac and I said it’s w m m a c k how’s it not wac and she says it’s like hammock but wak w w can can I make a suggestion yeah we literally have the same exact agents
That he has our agents are the same people that represent him I think they would know too right couldn’t we maybe reach out to them I didn’t know it was an issue oh I didn’t either I said we’ve called him Kane wac to his face several times yeah D his dad was defensive
Coordinator in the league we called him I I’m just saying she made me wrong i’ I’d love to know the answer what now is said is this a moreel Darius darus situation where so you think he was W until he got the b a DC job and he says now I’m gonna say
Wck I’m going I’m going wak from now on okay to Big Time you I will uh I will text our agents who again represent him so I’m assuming they know how to say his name and we we’ll get to the bottom of that one all right there’s a Common
Thread in the chat room two common threads that we’ll touch on here I’m not going to read specific ones because it just it’s a lot of people saying the same thing is like one of the issues with the rule right now is anybody could raid Alabama and Washington and Arizona
But they can’t raid anybody else to replace Parts like if somebody comes in and gets a a a Caleb DS great but if I’m Alabama I can’t go get a replacement for Caleb B the portal until the spring or if somebody comes in and gets Jabar muhammd out of Washington which Alabama
May well do by the way if I’m Washington I’m limited as to where I could shop and that is i’ had not thought of it in those terms but that’s right so if you’re a Washington player now a South Alabama player an Alabama player an Arizona player you got 30 days but those
Schools can’t go touch anybody else right now that’s I don’t I don’t know how you address that guys but that is kind of an interesting deal when you think about it in those terms and and I thought that too brown but that’s how I got the story I remember now you brought
It up Matt zenis sent this out today and it had a link to the 247sports.com uh updated portal file and reason I clicked on it because it said This is 43 minutes ago Ohio State tight end Sam Hart has entered the transfer portal Chris Hummer
And I have learned for 247 Sports and I thought to myself well the Portal’s closed for everybody except Alabama Washington and Arizona right now and I clicked on and enough he’s in the portal and maybe he’s been in it long and he’s so far down the food chain they’re just
Now getting into it didn’t make sense to me but uh I don’t I don’t either I got the pronunciation it is wck wck w w that’s from our guys that’s from our agents okay they would know I wish uh you know I played 18 holes of golf with
Our two agents and I think I called him Coach W the whole time and they never corrected me none of them now Kane’s nicest guy world but I would have appreciated our agents pulling me to the side and saying hey you’re saying the same yeah I mean how humble do you have
To be to let people butcher your name for years he I’ll tell you this and it it means nothing in terms of him getting the Alabama job he is literally the nicest guy I’ve ever met in coaching and we’ve met a lot of coaches and we’ve met
A lot of nice coaches but I think he would take the record as the nicest guy I’ve ever met in coaching by and well I was just going to let you guys know like the the word is it couldn’t pass up on an opportunity to work with theor again
And it really was all about winning a national championship yep uh it’s official from South Alabama now uh he has resigned at South Alabama and the next thing will be the official release from Alabama saying he’s join the staff over there but that is no surprise everyone um everyone
Continues to do that is people saying my audio is is my audio dropping occasionally is that happening sounds fine to me I don’t know okay uh people are uh you know I love this man it’s I don’t know what social media has done to the done to our dialogue but Bryce is
Giving us eye rolls we didn’t go to the studio there were a bunch of feminine people because we didn’t I was about to ask it because I just asked somebody something I need internally and they’re like hopefully we can get in the office tomorrow and I was like I don’t know how
Bad it is I tell you this seew came over last night and we had an awesome dinner and we watched the game and he ended up staying here last night but he left his truck he parked it down on the bottom of the never see it again well he left and
I’m like dude if you slide through my fence and go into my pool in that big ass truck we’re gonna have a problem and he’s like I can handle this and I’m like you don’t even know how icy it is but I haven’t seen him I guess he got out of
Here who knows well is it bad is it bad on 280 my wife drove it today and said there were wrecks all over the place so but Bryce is the toughest guy in the world he got out and drove today so that’s also for him all right stepen
Pearl is with us now the Auburn assistant basketball coach is going to be kind enough to join us every Tuesday at this time throughout the season until I mean there’s no way we could bring bad luck coach so we appreciate you doing that how how are you today doing well
Fellas how you guys doing uh we’re a little I stand up here but it’s okay um there I’m gonna pull a dway right here it’ take a lot of ice to cool your team off right now you guys are red hot well I mean I would imagine Taylor’s
Probably still in the studio doing all the heavy lifting right now and you guys are just sitting in the comfort of your own homes not doing a damn thing so sounds about right got you got it you got it you know T Taylor is part of our
And this is no disrespect because I’m gonna get to a point here Stephen she is part of our bench and y’all’s bench like I don’t think enough people are talking about it the production you guys get night in night out I mean every time I look it’s like I think you’re coming off
49 points this weekend off that bench but it’s like 40 plus every game yeah I saw a stat yesterday which was kind of interesting Evan maniah has got a Analytics website and it basically ranked the top F like the top fivem man lineups in the country with a minimum of
75 possessions played and our bench lineup is the most efficient lineup in the country right now as far as offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency which is that’s a that’s a wild stat when your bench is the best lineup in the country right now um so it
Just speaks to the depth that we’ve had it speaks to that group you know kind of coming together and just feeding off each other they come in and you know after our starters have tried to wear down the other team starters other team’s bench comes in and they just you
Know kind of wreak havoc and go crazy out there you got KD and Chad and Dylan and Trey and and and Cheney like those guys are all very athletic high energy type players and you know they they do an unbelievable job of feeding off each other you know sharing the ball and just
Bringing us an extra boost off that bench and it’s it’s really worked out well for us uh and it’s it’s been it’s been our biggest strength so far this year how do you get into a role are into a position where people accept their roles because you know I think Dylan
Cardwell is playing his best basketball KD just brings uh every time he’s on the floor something’s gonna happen uh not always good but usually good for Auburn more times than not good for Auburn there’s just so many people that seem to accept the role and I’m gonna run into a
Wall a 100 miles per hour with that role for Auburn how do you coach that up in people that’s a good question that’s the hardest thing that we have to do in our profession is just getting guys to buy into roles because if you look at look
At somebody like Dylan Cardwell look at somebody like Chad Baker look at somebody like Katie Johnson like those guys could all be starting Trey Donaldson those guys could all be starting at other schools in the SEC right now but they’re coming off the bench for Auburn and you know I think
It’s just it speaks a lot to them and kind of how they were raised and how they were brought up to be able to understand and accept the role uh of coming off the bench and really just you know kind of buying into it and and
Thriving off of it you know Dylan’s you know he he’s had to play behind guys like Walker Kessler Janai broom you know and and he’s waited his turn but he’s done an unbelievable job of buying into what we need him to do and he’s probably the best defender in the SEC right now
Uh Trey Donaldson a guy that you know could have come in and started this year you know he All Summer Long helps Aiden Holloway come along to learn what we’re doing day in and day out while competing with him and then when when Aiden gets
The KN at the beginning of the year he makes the most of his minutes and he’s been unbelievable you know the last five games in our plus minus chart just just being effective and you know closing out games for us and doing all the little things and then obviously you know guys
Like Katie and Chad are both two guys that could easily be starting for us uh but I think they they do a really good job of feeding off each other coming off the bench and they play off each other really well and you know those guys have just done an unbelievable job of
Accepting their roles now the the challenging part is as we have a little bit of success are we going to continue to do that you know and that that’s that’s human nature to feel good about yourselves and think well you I probably should be starting or I should be doing
More of this or more of that uh but if our guys are able to buy into that for the rest of the season you know we could have a pretty good year coach stepen Pearl is with us Auburn assistant men’s basketball coach will join us each Tuesday at 9:25 they got Bandy tomorrow
Night 8 o’clock SCC Network in Nashville uh he’s with us on the Johnston RVC center.com hotline uh through Monday nights games I haven’t checked after last night but you guys were fourth in the country and assist a turnover ratio and I don’t know you know I I I don’t
Know statistics you guys value more than others it would seem like that one would have to be pretty high though yeah I mean one of the biggest things that we tried to make an adjustment on from from last year to this year was just sharing the ball a little bit because um you
That’s something that you know we really struggled with we had some you know we had some really talented one-on-one scores last year and um you know we didn’t get off the ball enough and I think that was really a big reason why our offense wasn’t as good as it could
Have been because we had guys that could really make shots and you know could could make plays but you know once one guy you know makes a selfish Play It’s kind of contagious to that point so one of the things that we really tried to do with this year’s team was really preach
On making the extra pass getting the hockey assists and one more and you know we we assist on 65% of our made field goals this year you know that’s fourth in the country last year was 54% 54% is still pretty high um but 64% is like you
Said number four in the country so you know our guys have done a really good job um they realized that when we do share the ball you know good things happen you look at the LSU game we’re up 28 points with 11 minutes left we have
17 assists on I think 23 made field goals at that point and then we stopped sharing the ball they cut it to eight points and it’s just a perfect you know way to teach to our guys like listen um if we don’t share the ball we’re not as
Effective as when we just go play Hero ball and go oneon-one so um it’s something that our guys have bought into have done a really good job of our point guard play our assist turnover ratio is ridiculous between those two point guards right now Trey and Trey and Aiden
Uh have not made bad decisions or bad plays in ball screener in transition they’re making the Easy Pass making the easy play and it really helps when you don’t have live ball turnovers when you you know you’re going to get a shot up on most possessions you guys haven’t
Lost since first Sunday in December that was selection Sunday for the uh football fans out there and you guys have been dominant in these games but Bruce came out a couple of days ago and he’s like I don’t think he’s like there’s 15 teams better than us right now in college basketball
Um I I know you probably want to keep with the the coaching the coach speak and you probably agree with that uh but from a a fans perspective watching you guys on the couch you look like one of the top 15 teams in college basketball but is there something that you guys
Definitely have to get better at right now to to ultimately get to your goal uh I mean I man it’s tough because you know you look at these games and um like you said like the margin of Victory is kind of ridiculous on a few of these
Games um you know but I mean I think the biggest thing was just consistently making shots if you look at the games that we’ve struggled in Appalachian State was our second or third worst shooting performance in 10 years since we’ve been here uh A&M we really didn’t
Shoot it very well uh that was a close game um you know so the games that we’ve had closer games you know we just we haven’t sh like Southeastern Louisiana early in the year like we didn’t shoot it well in that game so being ble to consistently knock down open shots is
Going to be really important for this team moving forward um you know continuing to rebound the ball and then just not fouling uh we’ve had a really big issue the last couple years of fouling too much and sending teams to the foul line uh you know thankfully so
Far knock on wood they’ve been allowing teams to play a little bit more in the SEC and they’ve allowed you know the contact and the physicality to be up so um you know we just got to continue to guard without fouling making open shots
But you know it’s going to I mean we got a tough week this week but then you know you go to Alabama at Mississippi State like The Gauntlet is every single night so you know for us the biggest thing is teams that don’t fall apart in the
Middle of the Season uh are are going to have the best chances of being successful so we got to keep this team together can’t get too high you can’t get too low you know right now we’ve won nine in a row so we can’t be too high
Right now because you go to Vanderbilt you know they almost beat Alabama who how the hell is Alabama not a top 25 team right now you know what I mean like it’s just that’s why the AP poll doesn’t mean anything like Alabama is one of the
Top 15 teams in the country right now and Vanderbilt had him to three points at home so like that’s a tough game you know Old Miss is a top 22 program right now they’re playing as well as anyone in the country Soh every single night is
Gonna be a tough matchup so it’s just staying consistent not getting too high not getting too low and just you know continue to do what we’re doing listen uh you you and puit and the whole assistant coaching staff are are really good at what you do but you mentioned
Taylor corn our social media director did you see the seats that she had for me and her at the Texas A&M game I was I was very curious how you guys got those tickets and it’s not surprising that she’d be the one that would have that connection yeah so we’re sitting on the
Court and I spent 40 minutes just trying to get you or puit to look over into the heavy booster area there just so I could give you a hey here I am and I could never get your attention I’m glad you noticed I almost I was reading a little
Card they put in your seat I was like if I really get on one of these Texas ANM players or an official and get a technical foul called on the team finally they’ll notice where I’m saying probably I mean the last two games you’ve come to you’ve been Courtside so
I just I just I guess I just I wasn’t that surprised because that’s just kind of where you are and I mean the next round’s gotten so big that that’s just that’s just where you guys are expected to be as Courtside you can’t be anywhere
Else yeah I keep waiting for you to say when am I gonna see that donation come into the into the the booster line here well that’s why I’m doing the show every Tuesday to try and get some nil donations to try and help us out throughout the years you know there you
Go hey do you like playing uh stepen Pearl is with us do you like playing at Vandy it’s a weird setup you know inzone benches up on a stage just a little bit of a different atmosphere than you get anywhere else in the SEC when I was a player that was my
Favorite gym to play in for some reason I I I mean one it was one of our biggest Rivals so I always played well at Vandy um coaching at vandy’s is weird because you’re obviously sitting on the Baseline I’m glad they added the new rule where
The coach can walk up and down the sideline now um you know because it was really difficult to well as a player it was great because in the first half you didn’t have to listen to your coach because you were so far down the other
End that coach had to stay on the side or the you know the Baseline and he was yelling at us and we would just be like oh coach we can’t hear you but now that they can walk up the sideline it’s a little different so as a player was
Great uh second half you know obviously it’s right in front of your bench but I mean it’s a cool environment it’s different um you know it’s uh the good part for us in Nashville I don’t know if it’ll be this way this year because of the snow but we usually have a really
You know big attendance big crowd that’ll come out to that game I think last year half the building was Auburn fans so hopefully we can get some people to to Brave it out the weather unlike you guys today and show up to the game
Um but uh no it’s a cool it’s a cool environment and um you know it’s something that uh you obviously would be a good challenge for us hey grow growing up in uh in in Wisconsin and then you know obviously Knoxville what’s what’s the worst weather you’ve ever
Seen oh man um because I mean this is Child’s Play compared to some of the stuff you guys would get in Wisconsin right yeah I mean I grew up in the midwest so Iowa IND Indiana Wisconsin I mean in Wisconsin it was different because like they would have everything
Done before it snowed so like it would snow two feet and the roads would be perfectly clear so you’d still be able to go to school which you know which sucked but like in Indiana if it snowed a couple feet like you know you’d be
Home for the day so there was there was like a there was a bad snowstorm when I was in like I want to say like first or second grade we got to stay home for the entire week so that was that was a lot of fun but uh yeah Wisconsin they don’t
They don’t mess around they get those trucks out a week in advance they know when that weather’s coming and they get it taken care of ahead of time all right coach good luck tomorrow night we appreciate it look forward to doing this all season long we’ll see you
Next Tuesday all right fellas appreciate you guys stay safe all right buddy you too take care that is Stephen Pearl the Auburn assistant basketball coach who will join us every Tuesday throughout the season at 925 Central Time on the Johnston RBC center.com hotline uh they they’ve gotten hit a lot worse than us
Up there as he said so I don’t know what that crowd will be like but my gut tells me Auburn fans will be like this is one of our few chances to see them in Nasheville and Vandy fans will be like you know we got we got 15 home games I’m
Not gonna go out of this one that’s right so uh that’s Auburn coming up tomorrow night Alabama tonight more on that game coming up in a second Dane Bradshaw will talk about the tide he’s on the call tonight for the SEC network at 10 Central at the top of the hour the

The picture now as I just I let him down for the uh Steven interview because they they love they love dog lovers and so I wanted to get a little feel for that but Chile drank my coffee and now they are scrapping you drink you drink coffee uh you see
That um well developing news I didn’t know you drank coffee I didn’t either no Maddie makes like a really good kind of like a u i mean it’s a really good tasting coffee but it’s uh it’s one of those uh I don’t know it just gives me a
Jolt so I drink it a little bit not much like a latte yeah kind of um it’s iced so it’s an ice coffee whatever that is I just don’t want to get coffee breath yeah well I mean if you’re drinking coffee until you brush your teeth you’ve got coffee breath yeah but
I’m saying like I knew somebody that had like a habitual coffee breath I’ve known a couple of those people you guys never known anybody like that oh yeah sure sure sure yeah just ain’t worth it like that’s the only like there’s smoker breath and there’s coffee breath and
Those are you can’t shake and that is something like if you I I don’t know if this has happened to you guys before but um there was somebody I met years ago and I think they had just smoked a Sig and they had that cigarette breath and it’s all I could think of
Anytime I ever see them I don’t see them frequently but every time I see them it’s all I think of is like well I bet their breath sucks right now oh 100% one of my first professional kisses of all time uh professional well I mean like a
Kiss as a working person um God it would have been when I did the pool parties uh for I think it was magic 96 right um there was a DJ and I can’t remember her name but she was a coffee drinking smoker and I remember that kiss was a
Was a oneoff that was a one and done that was a Oh what off yeah that was that was never going to happen again so I’ve uh I’ve tried to I’ve tried to only kiss non-smokers ever since uh ever since my late teens there didn’t you have to paddle back um
On a in Tu because the chick kept smoking uh she no it her first cigarette she was going to do it as a uh because all the other they were drinking and all the other other girls were gonna smoke so I said if you trying to think of her
Name real quick um God I can’t remember her name all of a sudden for some reason but we were at uh blue waterer Park in pelum whatever it was called back then and the big Quarry and I’m not a good swimmer and we were out on one of those wooden
Floats and Dawn Dawn was her name and her friends were lighting up cigarettes and she was about to light one too because we were drinking and laying out in the middle of summer and I was like if you if you like that cigarette we’re done and she laughed thought I was
Joking and get get the hell out of here she let that cigarette and I started started packing up my bud lights and my little star foam cooler and she goes like they called me Jr they were like J.R where you going I said I was I told
You if you like that cigarette we’re done and I put that styr phone on that cooler set it in the inner tube jumped to the inner tube it was always backwards Brown and I rolled all the way in got all the way to the shore grabbed
My inner tube grabb my cooler set the inner tube down walked and got my Sunbird and I was out of there Sunbird don’t miss that part of the story L he got his sunburn yeah I Pro I haven’t uh kissed a smoker in probably 30 years it
Was so 90s yeah I’m just saying but it’s one of those things like when you think about it you’ll never forget that taste how about how about when I was in Middle School we were at a party once and there was a girl and she had never kissed a
Guy or anyone to my knowledge and and uh it’s a better party if you started the other way around yeah this is in middle school so a friend of a mutual friend comes up and says hey so and so’s never kissed uh a guy would you
Be her she wants you to be your first kiss I’m like I’m down for that so we did and it tasted like coffee and I’m like she’s in middle school she like coffee drinker how’ it taste like coffee the weirdest thing that’s the end of the story you
Never found out the end the story yeah I’m not g use her name I bet I bet she tastes like a dungeon now she’s tasting like coffee when she’s 12 or 13 yeah wow she was I mean I don’t know I don’t know how to describe it because she’s a cute
Girl and she ended up being I mean really nice looking and all but uh I never you know I thought you were I thought you were down an NBC 48 hours there at the start of that turns out her PE teacher was a coffee drinker uh let’s get into what happened
Last night and we’ll get back and reset what’s going on with Alabama football and everything else in college football but this uh gim’s life’s really good is brought to you by our friends at Woodhouse Day Spa Woodhouse despa tell us about that LT ah yeah they’ve got a
Great menu of different options they’ve been voted uh Alabama’s best day spa uh Woodhouse Day Spa .c for more information stop andc Stewart and all of the fine folks out there gift card Simple Solution uh give the gift of luxury from birmingham’s best day spa it’s the Woodhouse Day Spa
Located at the summit shopping center and again if you’re joining us for the first time ever um this is not our normal setup we have some weather here in the area and because we own the business we’re good business owners we made a decision yesterday to play it
Safe so everybody all of our 12 employees are spread out all over Central Alabama and the Comforts of their home and uh Lunsford can you punch yourself up real quick just show Lunsford is Manning the board and Forester and Little T are doing some things say hi there’s Lunsford there uh
So everybody’s behind the scenes making this work on remote here this morning we appreciate everybody uh so much for being with us I know it’s not our normal show but on the flip side of that no commercial breaks today just our live in show endorsements so we are going
Non-stop so you may see Lance or you may see Ryan or maybe even the oldest one of the group Jim occasionally leave the screen we’ll call that a bathroom break is why they will leave the screen because we’re going Non-Stop and at some point nature may call so it’s a casual
Show so guys if you got to leave uh just just check out um I did uh the living up there during the uh Sabin resignation and the hiring of dbor uh nonstop and I just hung up a sign said in the bathroom if you were tuning in to our stream and
I wasn’t on any of the cameras I had a bathroom sign up we won’t go to that extinct today just assume if one of our screens is blank it’s because somebody’s in the bathroom uh last night uh before we get back to college football the much talked about and much shamed NFC South
Eliminated the NFC East completely from the playoffs the Cowboys had already been run out by the Packers and last night the Buccaneers beat the Eagles like a drum game not even as close as the score would indicate and Tampa Bay beat Philadelphia who is completely after a 10- one start completely broken
Yeah they lose six of their last seven uh Jason Kelce retires after the game you know probably a Hall of Fame Center uh Nick serani and I thought this was laughable a couple of weeks ago when people were talking about as he coaching for his job something is going on
Internally in that locker room they’ve got a ton of talent look without AJ Brown still Devonte Smith had a big game last night but they got walked off the field against what I look Tampa Bay we talk about exceeding expectations we talked about it with the Rams I don’t know if
Anybody outside of maybe the Texans have exceeded more expectations than Tampa but you can’t get walked off the field like that and I’ve never seen a team at 10 and one look like one of the two or three best teams in the NFL have this complete implosion and without massive injuries
And something’s going on internally I’m not going to be surprised I don’t know what you guys think I mean there were a play away from winning a Super Bowl last year but I wouldn’t be surprised Nick serani loses his job 100% brown and I texted you I said I’ve never seen a team
In Philadelphia last night I’ve never seen a team look so disinterested in playing a playoff game yeah and you know what they were least interested in dunway tackling making a tackle and and and that’s where the criticism land started for this Philadelphia team was sha asai the defensive coordinator who
Got replaced by Matt Patricia in the play calling midseason and it really didn’t improve I mean I I think it improved you know in the short term but in the long term it’s who they were they’re not a physical team not a physical enough team anyway and um boy
It showed up last night they had zero interest in tackling Tampa and that was an embarrassing performance it’s hard to imagine with all serion accomplished he could get fired but if I you know in a vacuum if not if I’m an Eagles fan I do
Not like what I saw over the last two months of the season on the on the flip out of that LT uh and this started really with the Tampa Bay trip up to Green Bay that offense all of a sudden I know they won their final game against
Carolina nine to nothing playing as conservative as you can trying to just uh clinch that playoff spot and not turn the ball over and let Carolina get a cheap score because the Panthers offense was that bad but you uh they were so good at Green Bay I think they were a
Little better last night than they were at Green Bay and Baker Mayfield becomes the first Tampa Bay Buccaneer quarterback in history Doug Williams Tom Brady Brad Johnson included to go three touchdowns no interceptions and over 300 yards in the postseason Baker freaking Mayfield yeah look and had multiple
Drops uh Mike Evans had a drop it was probably a pass interference down uh In The End Zone with Kate utton but still a um a play he should have made Rashad White’s been really good running the football and I think that one of the keys to Baker Mayfield having the season
That he’s having right now but utton’s a weapon obviously Mike Evans is a guy that doesn’t age but this is a sneaky team now that gets a good draw with Detroit because Detroit finally wins that first postseason game but all the pressures on Detroit I mean Tampa Bay is
Obviously playing with house money and just imagine one of those two teams is gonna be in the NFC championship game yeah that way you guys got a marry Baker Mayfield don’t you um you know I wouldn’t hate it for you know if it’s not long term I wouldn’t hate it he was
For those that don’t know he was a one-year deal and the only reason they went and got him was twofold one Shawn McVey at the end of the year used him and made him look really good again so that made him a little bit more attractive but and LT can attested this
Much like what the Rams have had to do the Buccaneers were $81 million of dead cap money so they just had no money they were broke and and they had to get a quarterback on the cheap Kyle tras is there still on a rookie contract and
They went and got Baker Mayfield on a one-year deal basically the veteran minimum and gave him some incentives and let them battle it out in Camp and I’ll remember when Forester uh the first day of camp remember that day we showed that video of tras and Baker Mayfield and it
Was on air and they couldn’t complete a pass we roll like 90 seconds of just one incomplete pass out of the other after another now that team has won a division and won a playoff game now it’s amazing the job Baker Mayfield has done and I
Don’t think I’ve ever seen this though I mean yeah I mean Baker Mayfield and to me you know people are talking about the comeback player of the year should be Baker Mayfield or Joe Flaco take your pick and right now it’s easy to say baker Mayfield because they’re still
Alive the dear Hamlin feel like I understand that he got brought back to life but I mean we’re talking about an onfield impact yeah um I think saw something do you I mean if you were voting would you vote Hamlin well I would it’s just a it’s just a funny line
I understand Mar hlin was brought back to life what these other guys have done he’s not an impact guy at all they they were to give him a roster spot just because the NFL loves these stories uh but if he’s not going to contribute there’s no reason he should have a
Roster spot and one of those guys should win come back player but I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a team in the postseason for 11 on third and fourth Downs combined yeah and and how you get beat by more than two touchdowns or two touchdowns when you don’t turn the
Football over like they didn’t even turn the football over and they got dominated yeah I would tell you brown and you were talking you text me I wasn’t going to bother either one of you with my lowly bucks playoff text but you texted me out
Of the blue late in the game and said man your defense and I said they were lighting him up they were they were coming at Jaylen and the reason why is because the Eagles were hurt they had one viable deep threat and it was Devonte Smith and they knew if they
Brought the house on almost every play then um then he wouldn’t have a lot of time to throw it deep to Devonte who was uncoverable he’s such a good receiver so they just lit him up every play it was five people six people coming on every
Play uh and I think the stat partway through the fourth quarter said he had on average two seconds to throw the football yeah and and Herz took an awful safety there I do not know what he was doing in that situation but that was Chang the game yep well it did it
Changed the game it put you guys up nine I mean you guys were only you had dominated that game and you were only up seven I mean it was it was one broken play away for being a tie ball game yep and that changed it forever because then
You get the field position off the kick and you score right away and the game’s over at that point but that was just emblematic of the whole game is the offensive line which has been so good all year for Philadelphia did not hold up against uh the Blitz and the uh and
The defensive front for Tampa and then Herz was just he was not himself and and that that safety was just awful by he had plenty of time to throw that ball away and he held it held it held it backed up into the end zone then tried
To throw it away at the last second and created the safety which is gonna be a safety either way um just a terrible way to go out and and is I mean it’s like this Philadelphia team because you know what it looked like Lance it looked like
The last time Jaylen Herz was in that building well not the last time the last time of the postseason he was in that building when they were awful against Tom Brady in the bucks on the way to the Bucks wi in the Super Bowl you know you
Right now 32 GMS how many would take uh Jaylen Herz over their quarterback and I think it’s interesting because last year if Jaylen doesn’t get hurt and miss two games I think he is your MVP yeah and how you go from that to where they are
Right now because you got a ton of talent around you now I do agree it doesn’t seem like a lot of guys are buying in right now but I just wonder I mean if you went through the list is he even a top 15 quarterback right
Now I I was just thinking of the playoff teams currently like Pittsburgh would take him right now I think yeah they let him go across state uh dway would you take Baker moving forward or Herz moving forward um I refuse to answer on the grounds it may incriminate me it’s hard
To answer after last night um there’s no doubt about that after watching it against both both those sides well we’re two and 0 in the playoffs against the Eagles the last two times we played them and the reason why is is well at least when we played
Him Tampa I don’t know if we played him last year but jayen not a threat to that defense obviously tua’s got his faults and it seems like if the conditions aren’t ideal Tua doesn’t really play great football would you rather have Tua or Jaylen um I think Jaylen would thrive
In that offense because you’re not I’m not going to say you’re making making easy passes but when both W and Tyreek Hiller on the field you got open guys choices wow say Jaylen over TW no no no no that’s not what I said but if you if
Tua you know left and Jaylen Herz came in I don’t think that offense would miss a time but right now would I trade Tua for Herz no I would not yeah Miami is saying they wanted their goal is to sign Tua to a long-term contract that’s news today um Hill ser
Bringing you part of the show LT and then listen I’m not going to say what I’m about to show you doesn’t happen every year doesn’t happen every year but I didn’t notice it for 17 years when Nick sain was there I’m just gonna I’m gonna show you something after you tell
Us about him Phil yeah I had to uh call Andrew reached out to him last night I’m have to get those guys by having a little plumbing issue right now but Plumbing Heating Cooling since 1954 they are the name that Birmingham has trusted call Adam chat Andrew the guys there
Make sure you tell them the next round Cent you they’re going to hook you up with that $69 tuneup make sure that unit is ready to keep up with this really everchanging weather 205 229 2090 or Hill services.com Dane Bradshaw talking Alabama basketball coming up in two
Minutes here at the top of the hour uh listen it may happen every year I’m sure it does happen every year because Alabama’s had these players on the roster for forever but I’ve never noticed it before but today due to severe weather walk- on tryouts at the University of Alabama has been po
Postponed until next week I mean they’ve got Walk-Ons I know they do but I’ve never noticed the tryouts before they they I’ve seen this they do this every year in fact I think we one time talked about trying to get uh you or Rockstar doing it with uh Scott over there
Rolling on the footage I just I just don’t remember it but I’m super sensitive to the to the roster over there a sudden you guys help me out but where are Walk-Ons on the list of priorities right now for kayin aore I’d say very low very very low I don’t think
You had to twist Kaylin’s arm to cancel this today well I think it was moving Parts all over and I think somebody it could have been a Freddy roach somebody that’s familiar with Alabama weather hey we Panic grocery stores are empty this is an easy way to cancel this today yeah
You know Arrow I I misspoke it’s tomorrow the 17th I can’t believe it’s already January 16th one random thing I thought of is and I don’t know if the D’Or family I know kayn deor is still here I don’t know if they went back to Seattle but
Imagine you know you you’re a South Dakota native you’ve spent time your last two years in Seattle Washington you’ve been in Bloomington Indiana and you wake up to what’s on the ground today and has shut our state down you’re like what what in the world is
Going on here these people are not at all prepared for this stuff are they we can’t even make a snowman out here yeah I mean I can’t even scrape up a handful of snow and they’ve shut school down and new favorite radio and you know digital
Show is not even in studio today why are they in three separate boxes here like they’re calling an Auburn Basketball game what’s going on when’s the mayor coming on yeah when is the Huntsville mayor coming on top of the hour here the show being brought to you before we get
To Dane Bradshaw is is being brought to you okay being brought to you by the folks at the University of montavo I saw him I was just gonna throw montavo in there really quick monal doedu they play basketball there too but they’ve got 23 NCAA division 2 fully funded
Scholarships sports manavu schedule that in-person tour great place for your son or daughter to go to school it is the University of monal maval doedu all right as Jim has said a number of times we’re doing the show from our homes today because uh ice has hit and a
Little bit of snow has hit Central Alabama where we are located in Birmingham D Bradshaw is over in Tuscaloosa SEC network and he’s getting ready for the Bama game tonight against Missouri on the SEC network I will warn you Dane you and Tom Hart are guaranteed
To be there I don’t know beyond that how many more people I’ll guarantee make it tonight you know uh we’ve taken some heat before as a company for having broadcasters call the game from home yeah this may have been one of those opportunities I’m just saying you of all
Times that maybe it made more sense to call this one from the basement but here we are I’m glad to be there and uh pump because uh regardless of fan turnout it’s going to be an exciting game with two really interesting styles of play can I make it suggestion and I know Tom
Hart’s a creative guy so maybe he can bring it up in your production meeting this morning but can you get a zoom of like 64 Alabama fans in a box and just keep popping that screen up and just let them react to plays and something I I
Think we could do that look um if if Tom ever actually made the meetings then suggest that so but but we’ll get it to him hey we we know with Nate oats the offense is always going to be great and dynamic but you know it looked for a
While like they were going to have some serious issues defensively do you think those have been wred over the last three games uh I think a little bit I I probably like you guys uh I learned a lot of what Grant Nelson can do in the
Post I mean what he did against tolu Smith arguably the most physical big man in the SEC and if you needed proof of that what he did the previous game against Tennessee who’s known to be such a physical um Big Time defense and Grant Nelson held his own that they don’t win
That game without his uh post play at the five and what I like there as well is um I know the the question is about defense but if Grant Nelson can hold his own defensively all a sudden man he is tough as a five on the offensive end and
Then Ryland Griffin may be mov to that four spot all of a sudden those two guys get way more athletic for their position than when they’re the three and the four and so I’m not saying you you can play that way for 40 straight minutes because
I still think you need just um just a little bit of an enforcer and physicality but man he he really held his own did Grant Nelson and so I think other guys as well kind of learning um guarding the ball not getting beat off off the the
Dribble more often and and I think it’s human nature too when your offense is so good when you get scored on it just hurts a little less it’s like well we’ll go back you know we can get it back real quick and I think Nate oats has has
Always been really good at trying to stress to his teams like look I’m a I’m a numbers guy and we got to be you know to win to get to a final four even better but at Buffalo they’re always kind of in that top 30 offense and
Defense just one of those um having that balance so they’re getting there D Bradshaw is with us uh he will have the game tonight he’s on the Johnston RV center.com hotline not that Mark Sears was bad last year by any stretch of the imagination but he’s playing SEC Player of the Year level
Right now what have you seen different in his game gosh he’s phenomenal man he um and it’s funny because I was I was watching some of the M Missouri Bama game where they played in the SEC semi-finals last year and I was just laughing like man what a difference you
Know less than a year makes um sha E from Missouri the probably the second most improved player behind Uh Sears but you see these guys out there last March and they were just role players and doing a good job but I never imagine they would take this type of Step Up and
For Mark Sears um you know what he can do from three you you know what he can do when they get him in the ball screen stuff and he’s so fast he can go in there off of one foot but I think the the part that really separates him from
Other scoring guards is not that he can get to Lane not that he can shoot the threes and ball screen but when needed he can go off two feet in the lane be super physical and and just throw his shoulder into you he gets the free throw
Line about six times a game and um at his size and to shoot the type of shots that he he he shoots with a lot of freedom um to be hitting at a clip of what 54 55% is just absolutely amazing I talked to one sec coach earlier this week about
Him he’s like you know our staff’s sitting around like man this guy might be a pro and once you start seeing the consistency that he does and and I started looking up 61 guards in the NBA there’s a lot of comps out there like it
And if if those guys can do it why can’t Mark Sears and he he’s playing and and you absolutely know his work ethics there or the the big jump from year to year what happen um I’m interested because I don’t think a lot of Alabama fans really know what they have in this
Team right now because of the tough schedule and the losses that stacked up there for a moment where do you slot in Alabama how good is this team in your opinion compared to say in Auburn and and other SEC teams like Tennessee I I think they’re right there I’m not just
Saying that because I’m on the show with you guys but I’ve done some some other Regional shows here recently and they say all right so you got Tennessee Kentucky Auburn who else I’m like as I just it’s hard for me not to have Alabama in that mix because the only
Reason they’re not in that mix is because of what they did themselves with the toughest schedule possible and yeah they didn’t win those games but you you think any of those uh other three teams want to face Alabama I don’t think they do um and and as you guys started the
Show with if their defense can catch up just a little bit with their offense doesn’t have to be quite as a leite but not put so much pressure on their offense um that’s the next step and I think you’re starting to see um that those those challenge non-conference
Games despite coming up short paying off as they hit their stride in secc play and and of course this team I I don’t think they I think they were disappointed I don’t think they ever lost confidence um and so for that to to start to pay off uh once you see an
Alabama team with with with even greater confidence and Swagger I I do I think they’re absolutely right there and as good as Kentucky is kuy’s Krypton ey a little bit is is you know uh ball pressure defense I mean they’re getting beat off the bounce some
A&M’s a hard place to to win of course but um a uh Kentucky has a lot of style points similar to to Alabama on the offensive end but but can they defend and then you look at Tennessee where you know what you got defensively but Jackel
And hide on offense so not a lot of Separation uh one through four of those teams if you had to have one of these teams though play for your life your tournament life right now because I think it might be the Auburn Tigers I don’t know but if you had to have one
Who would it be boy great question oh man I would slightly favor Tennessee and and I like the the and going back to Auburn though I don’t even know that Bruce Pearl was totally sure about his Auburn team and defense until they hit conference play I was like all
Right we’ve beaten some good mid- major teams but when the athleticism gets better can we hold our own it’s not just who they’re beating but how they’re beating them I mean they’re blowing teams out and so but the the only thing I The Edge I give to Tennessee is
Because their defense has been so good and reliable um even though they had put 40 minutes together very well is the kid Dalton connect man I mean when you get to March and you just gotta have somebody go get you a bucket and put the team on their back Dalton connect the
Northern Colorado transfer guys in Four Road games he’s averaging 31 points like he he plays his best against the best back against the wall and so so when you start to look at star power that that’s where you to me the tiebreaker is is dton connect right now to go with
Tennessee’s defense I I think I would have said let’s switch it to golf and give me John ROM I don’t think I would have trusted any basketball team too much parody yeah I’d have gone the ROM hey I’m I’m I’m I’m asking I’m looking at our chat over here and people are
Asking ask him about Arkansas ask him about Arkansas ask him about musan uh I’ll I’ll ask you about that man this Arkansas Team I thought the roster was made to be in the conversation with the guys you’ve talked about already what’s wrong with Arkansas what’s happening
There to mus wow and look in years past they they’ve typically been late bloomers they’ll have some head scratching losses November December sometimes even early in conference play I don’t know if it was last year the year before but uh it was kind of what’s wrong with Arkansas and to make matters
Worse Banner belil went in to Sayville and and Bud Walton Arena and got a win but then musk seems to make a a tweak to the lineup or he shortens the rotation it usually is kind of a seven seven-man rotation and they figure it out and get
On a street um this year does seem to be different than those years uh I don’t know if it’s just I’d point to maybe some of it being a little bit more a lack of of talent uh Anthony black last year was was such an amazing freshman
That that could um get to the baset get to the free throw line but but right now um it’s getting a little bit later in the season season than you’re accustomed to for Eric muscleman teams to to still be figuring out so there there’s there’s
Panic mode on my end for sure uh with that said if you’re an Arkansas fan the thing that does give you hope is that that these guys to do tend to figure it out but um man they got a long way to go the the best thing that can happen
Though is League Play because you got a lot of quad one opportunities and the worst thing that can happen to you as League Play because you got a lot of quad one opportunities where you can all of a sudden be you know one and seven and and trying to figure out maybe we
Should red shirt this guy or that guy before it’s too late D Bradshaw for a few more moments SEC network he’s with us on the Johnston RV center.com hotline hand Tom Hart on the Bama game tonight against Missouri over in Tuscaloosa I know Chris beard can coach as he baited
Us in a little bit early as this team really I think their 22nd the most recent poll as Steven Pearl told us earlier you can ignore the AP poll though uh but has he baited us in a little bit with this this start that old misses had they’ve only lost one game
This year it was to Tennessee yeah no I’m I’m all in on Old Miss uh I think they’re going to be an NCAA tournament team uh that doesn’t mean that I think they’re going to win the league or be in the top four or five but I think they’re
Going to more than hold their own um they lead the league in three-point percentage so that that’s been a huge key to their success Matthew Morell is playing with a renewed confidence and becoming the player everybody thought he could be around the league um Allen Flanigan obviously transferred from
Auburn playing playing with some confidence and those both those guys what they have in common is they weren’t really themselves last year either coming off an Achilles injury or or nursing a knee injury now they got a little pop to their game and of course Old Miss has tremendous shot blocking um
They’re tops in the country there with s foot five uh sharp and then Cay comes off the bench at seven feet so um they they are good I had that Tennessee Old Miss game where where they really got smacked that was their first loss of the
Season but I thought it more I thought it spoke more to how good Tennessee can be when they play at at their best than all miss not being for real because Chris beard wins everywhere he goes he was my preseason SEC coach of the year because I didn’t think the cupboard was
Bare down there and the guys that were returning were not only hungry but they’ve been well coached by kit Davis they just hadn’t experienced enough winning and I think you’re starting to see that that payoff uh Dane I wanted to ask you um I know how Tom Hart likes the dress man
He’s he spends a lot of money on clothes who’s who who’s more likely to be most upset of your broadcast Partners if you guys started dressing more like Bruce Pearl for the broadcast and less like Buzz Williams yeah you know Tom does dress well um but a secret is he doesn’t take
The tag off either so that’s why you see him with with the new one each time I think he might be returning things so uh yeah it’s uh you know and it’s funny I talked to to Bruce Pearl um before one of the games it was a non-conference
Game I think it was Penn and he was walking in the same time I was was like how you enjoying life without having to wear a suit and and no lie he was like I’m telling you I think this is going to give me an extra three to five years of
Coaching being able to breathe right here he was like I’m telling you as my you know he was like as I’m having to button this thing up and I’m just stressed I’m screaming I’m a maniac being able to just breathe and not sweat through every single thing I’m so much
More free on the sidelines so um when it comes to the Wardrobe attire I can see why some guys like Buzz Williams and others that have such invested and Jerry stack house he’s not he’s not uh downgrading the Wardrobe for anybody but um there there’s some investment there
That I could see some people wan to uh still walk the sidelines with have you ever seen somebody sweat as much as Bruce Pearl back in the day no I hadn’t um and and sometimes it could be based on the arena we went down to to Gainesville Florida and it it uh I
Don’t know if viral was really the term back then but it was certainly all over Sports Center where the at uh the Aquatic Center was right it was really in the same Arena um as the basketball gym so it was it was hot and humid and
The intensity was high and he had a gray suit on and man it was just he was just lathered up sweating through that entire thing so that was fun it was a good PR uh we did a uh it it has probably been expunged from the SEC network site but
We did an Auburn game for SEC network plus earlier this year up in huntville and they the floor’s over the ice you know there’s a hockey arena there in hille floor’s over the ice and we froze I mean it’s the exact if you get one of
Those deals I I’ve had uh I was there for a game once before as well I think it might have been uh I forget who it was it was probably well I’m sure it was Auburn and uh maybe Belmont but or lipom but yeah I know it it’s uh those
Conditions are are are real and so yeah when we play in a hot humid Arena all of a sudden guys that you hadn’t seen dunk at all all they’re loose and getting up and ready to go and all that but uh yeah there there’s some places that are more
Favorable to play than than others I’d rather be be hot in a humid environment than than what you described in the cold though oh I bet your broadcast from Huntsville did not have the Huntsville mayor on the broadcast though oh we couldn’t get him no yeah
Yeah he’s in demand my friend got we spared no expense man that’s right we got it big time for us uh all right Dane tonight with Tom Hart there at colan col Sim six o’clock tip for B Missouri on the SEC network watch them there thank
You very much for the time Dane enjoy the call awesome thanks guys stay safe all right buddy you too take care uh Dane’s troubles are only beginning he’s got to get from tuscala to Birmingham to fly home at some point I would assume so
Uh he he may uh he may spend a little time in t toown there Bama two touchdown favorite in that one about a 14 and a half Point favorite I’ve got sun beaming in to my sport room right now how’s there no ice on the roads because your
Problem Jim is the temperature is in the teens right now that Sun Ain’t Going melted if it’s below freezing but you you’re telling me that sun on black pavement even if it’s um even if it’s below freezing it’s not going to melt it I am telling you that yeah I’m GNA tell

Take over the next uh segment you make it up to the studio and you can do the rest of the show from there Maggie will tell you I almost left to go to the studio this morning I was like when there was some debate on whether what we
Were doing before Brown came with the final word I was like I’m just going go ahead and go on in I’m G to do my radio hit from in there just making a normal morning pick up some coffee for me and Forest dur on the way in and just go do
It and I ended up bailing out of that plan she talked me off the off the ledge good good wife in that situation hey our friends at Legacy can talk you off a financial ledge too like if you got credit card debt okay you’re in a new

It took us back back to yesterday I thought I heard dog and bone up on the main floor was that what that what that was that I will tell you man I love my house but they did the worst job on sound and inst insulation so like my
Bedroom is freezing cold uh the bathroom’s even worse and you can hear sounds throughout this like last night when I went to bed Ce do was watching heat he’s never seen the great Michael man 1995 classic after the game I watched like the first hour and it’s
Like almost three- hour movie and I was like I’m shutting it down but all I heard was uh assault rifles and freaking just explosions all night long uh so yeah the dog bones and they’re big ass Bones from Hollywood Feed they’re getting dropped all over the place right now 205 the
Show’s brought to you by Hill and Hollywood Feed 205 229 2090 Adam Chad Andrew uh the number that I actually had to call yesterday for plumbing situation for all of your Plumbing Heating and Cooling needs hard to stop a train call them today tell them the next round sent

Everything’s fine the very next one is I drove over Double Oak Mountain it’s deadly so uh who knows who knows where you’re gonna go yeah you by the way um would have to travel over Double Oak Mountain well down it I just gotta come down it yeah and
Then it yeah and then our our beautiful Blue Lake Center is on top of a of of of a of a slick Hill that is so slick that they have a permanent sign up even in July that says caution slick Road just for any moisture at all like they’re
Watering the flowers in July you can do a 360 on there which is why we’re safely at home today and we’re doing it for you it’s not for us because I guarantee you that at least 66% of the uh show loves to be in that studio and not in this
Setup right now and um and I I would say it’s even higher than that maybe even a 100% it’s nostalgic man this is me and brown we grinded how many days were we down here yeah don’t way tell me how many days were we in Lance’s basement
Doing the show I can’t I think it was 3 77 wasn’t it something like that yeah it was insane back during the pandemic but thank God because it birthed what we have right here Brown I want you as I tell you about Precision to give us an
Update uh because you’re you’re good at putting a lot of stuff into a capsule of where we are for the Alabama fans as we reset college football here at 10:20 Central Time on what’s going on with the new defensive coordinator that coaching staff the portal uh the roster and we’ll

In the middle of day and Bri Shell’s interview my dog threw up so I had to go clean that up so I apologize for exiting the shot there but I think he think he’s fine he probably just ate some M&M’s hey uh so Kane wck is that am I right dway
Wck wck is the way I’m going right Kane Kane wck confirmed by his uh okay Brown I lost your audio there is that just me yeah no I lost him too okay um wow Brown’s audio totally good keep moving your lips so this is like yep not
Working no I was just moving my lips I was okay he’s back there we go leaving the University of South Alabama he has resigned from South Alabama officially today South Alabama has made that official Chris low the first to report that uh he was in negotiations last night to be Alabama’s defensive
Coordinator and I think it makes sense now well first of all we had kind of uh this word it started percolating over the weekend we discussed it on the show without mentioning coach wack yesterday um a lot of people thought we were Hing at John Summerall leaving to Lane and
Coming back we were not we were talking about Kane wac until we accidentally tipped our hand there um it’s an interesting move for kayin abor obviously guy he is comfortable with there was a interview as many people have reported with Travaris Robinson who was some believe the actual defensive coordinator deao defensive coordinator
This year for Alabama along with Kevin steel uh that obviously did not work out he is now at Georgia and uh Kane wac will be the defensive coordinator at Alabama he had kayin debor kayin deor is offensive coordinator for Tom Allen at um at Indiana and Kane wack was the
Defensive coordinator wck was the defensive coordinator at the time so they are very very comfortable with one another uh that one good year they were a top 20 defense I was looking at his scoring defense done away in his last two years at South Alabama they’ve been
Top 30 in scoring defense at South Alabama so it’s kind of you know it’s kind of his thing and Lance I know you probably watch South a lot because of Lance lo.com more than more than most that was kind of their thing they weren’t a dynamic offensive team but
They played really good defense yeah and you go back to that 2020 year where he was a Royals award finalist Kane wck was and that was a team that forced 20 turnovers so it’s all about being aggressive it’s about forcing those turnovers and uh yeah look I mean they
Went from 10 WIS to seven win still a really good year for South Alabama and the Jags but it was still one of the better defensive units in college football and and D way I’ll say a lot of the football people say this is a guy that really his base defense is a
425 um so that will tell you you need a lot of what if you’re going to run a 425 uh you’re going to need a lot of DBS and a lot of defensive lineman which makes Caleb DS and and Amos if he is in fact
In the portal uh as I guess Matt zenth reported or 247 reported um it makes keeping those guys critical I mean if that’s the style of football he wants to run you’re going to need some quality defensive backs back there so I do find that interesting and also you know it
Makes a whole lot of sense why kayin deor said in his introductory news conference that his belief is you hire coordinators and then you build around those guys you let coordinators build around guys they’re comfortable working with so it makes sense why you’ve seen the offensive guys announced primarily
Washington guys got a lot of Washington flavor in that deal but you other than Freddy roach seem very few defensive names and I would imagine that defensive staff starts taking shape very very quickly now that you got your coordinator in place yeah now here here’s just a 247 update 247sports.com
In their portal that they keep track of Trey Amos according to them entered the portal yesterday and some of you were beating me up on uh Twitter or X or Twix whatever you want to call it that I I was ringing my hands over a three- star
Guy in the portal but you guys saw Trey Amos play this yeary Trey Amos forget what he was rated starwise the guy came in and was locked down even when he had to come in in the SEC Championship game because of injury I thought the guy
Would be a starter this year to me that’s a loss if he doesn’t come back to B he hasn’t picked a place yet Amari NYL went in yesterday a four-star tight end uh he hasn’t picked a place yet uh to to me bigger threat at catching the ball
Than he is as a blocker and a tight end um I don’t know what he will fit into into the new Ryan grub system or not Shawn Murphy linebacker in and Florida State earlier this week so he’s one of five Alabama players now at Florida State Antonio kite a four-star Corner in
The portal Dez Ricks a four-star Corner in the portal Isaiah Bond you know his story five-star wide receiver Alabama to Texas uh Kendrick black Shear’s a three St linebacker he’s in the portal uh and then the other guys all made their decisions before uh Nick Sabin uh did
His retirement so they were going to be in the portal regardless so that’s just where we are sitting here today and it feels to me like uh if you’re an Alabama fan you’re waiting to see what Caleb DS is going to do and I will just point out
That Caleb Downs two biggest recruiters at Alabama that got him to sign with Alabama one of us is one of of them is Travaris Robinson um T Rob who’s at Georgia now and he was still in play to come back to Alabama as late as yesterday morning but
Finally decided to stick with his move to Georgia and the other one interesting enough Charles Kelly who’s the co-defensive coordinator now um at Auburn so those were his two top recruiters that got him uh to commit to Alabama so to me that’s a big um guy
You’re watching right now to see if CA Caleb’s all in on the DOR and wack side of the ball or if if he indeed is going to shop and go to the portal I want to go back to NL because Lance I know you watched a lot of uh Washington football
This year you’re you’re a big fan of dbor even before he got the Bama job and what he was doing there Jack West over the last two years uh both years was fourth and receiving for Washington and by the way that’s a good receiving CT to
Be fourth in that receiving cour is the tight end 77 catches five touchdowns over the last two years he utilized the the tight end quite a bit Ryan grub did yeah and you know that was and Wester was really good in the postseason I mean going back to the Oregon Pack 12
Championship game and then what they were able to do against Texas um yeah I think it’s a little misleading on this kinor offense everybody thinks it’s just downfield and you’ve got the three 10,00 yard guys McMillan PK and Odun but uh West over was a big part of it and
Running the football I mean really when they were at their best offensively it was the final five games of the regular season and into the postseason going into the national championship game where Dylan Johnson was really running the football I mean it’s it’s more of a balanced offense than people
Think yeah I agree with you and speaking of that um Washington since the dbor uh announcement that he’s coming to Alabama has had actually more people hit the portal than Alabama has uh that includes fourstar quarterback Austin Mack who is in the portal see where he ends up going
Uh Nate cppo a fourstar inside um offensive lineman a guy that you know maybe could fit in at an SEC School uh is in the portal um Jabar Muhammad cornerback could have some use for him fourstar guy is in the portal a couple of other three- star guys and then Will
Rogers who’s a four-star quarterback also in the portal and there’s some people keeping an eye on him and ASA Turner another fourstar safety who was in the portal all that happened after dor had been announced at Alabama so a few fourstar guys from that Washington team that played for a national
Championship so that is one thing that’s going on brownie with the uh the portal news out there so s Hopson says go over South Alabama schedule this year their defense was horrible they were third in the Sun Belt in scoring defense um and gave up 21 points per
Game this year I don’t I would not call that horrible I know you know that that can be affected by a lot of things you know one game you give up 30 one game you don’t give up any right um so 21 points per game is where they were and I
Was trying to find uh just some other stats like Total Defense and things like that but third in the Sun Belt uh this year with 21 points per game is where you would find that South Alabama uh defense this year and I’ll tell you where they were really good tell where
That South Alabama defense was really good was in still waterer Oklahoma and they probably Lance defended Oklahoma State ultimately about as well as anybody did All Season yeah that was still one of the more amazing turn arounds with with how broken and a lot of it had to do with that South Alabama
Defense how Broken Oklahoma state was after just getting skull drug and still water and then able to bounce back and ultimately play for the Big 12 championship game um but yeah I mean South Alabama was lights out and I’ll tell you this uh in that on that
Saturday in still water if you only give up 21 points per game with a kin deor offense you’re going to win uh 95% of your games I would I would agree with that yeah with 21 yeah so I I think even if you could you know if you could say right now to
Alabama fans hey this defense is gonna give up 21 points per game next year I think you would take that yeah yeah interesting with the portal there um I got a I got a question this is our way to Wellness question of the day and it
Was the question I got this morning on the dusty and Danny show on SiriusXM so I’ll just ask it to you and I’ll then I’ll at the end tell you how I answered it but you guys are going to agree with what I answered I’m sure way to Wellness

Check it out is way to Wellness your journey to healthy living there the question I got asked I think it was by canel and it was what is what is the expectations for kin dbor next year and I’d love I would love to hear your answer because I gave him one
And I think he thought it was laughable but go ahead you you go first I think it’s a national championship I mean I really I mean why would anything you so you’re taking over a program that lost in overtime to the eventual national champion and you’re inheriting a coach that played for the
National championship with a better roster now so why would the expectation not be a national championship anything short of a playoff appearance there are going to be so many people second doubting this hire from Greg burn so National CH or a playoff off is kind of
The minimum that’s kind of the floor and then obviously I think the expectation is we make a deep run here and we ultimately win a National Championship I was going to say the minimum acceptable outcome for Alabama fans would be 10 and two in the college football playoff and
Even then you’re you know some of that depends on who the two are um especially if one of them is Auburn at home you know that becomes a more magnified loss because it’s your rival but I think the minimum expectation by Alabama fans be 10- two in the college football playoff
And 10 and two would get you in the college football playoff um you know when years pass to 10 and two you’re probably just in the Sugar Bowl the Cotton Bowl the Orange Bowl you’re not in the playoff now you to at least be in the playoff you probably got a road game
You probably got a road game at 10 and two unless it’s an incredible 10 and two but even still you’re in the college football playoff but to me that’s the minimum and even then so let’s say you make the college football playoff what do you guys think would be an outcome
Where Alabama fans could stomach it at that point I mean is it only national championship where you’re like I answered it I answered it exactly like you guys did um the expectation is is a national championship I mean that’s just the expectation but to me the floor is
Making the 12 team college football playoff because Alabama fans you know love them or hate them depending on where you are um they they have been eating the best of the best food they’ve been dining in the festar restaurant of college football and that that’s not
Going to that’s not going to change so 10 and two or above I mean you go back to any of the sain bad years three losses are the bad years since 2008 so you don’t expect that to change that’s why the roster movement is so big
Because if the roster had not changed uh they’re going to be one and two with Georgia coming into the year with the roster changes we’ll see what the where they land but I don’t think anybody’s expecting him to be outside of the top 10 in the preseason so that’s your
Expectations right yeah I don’t think anything changes I really don’t and look it’s it’s going to be impossible to replicate what saan was able to do but I mean if dbor can do what he did at Washington why would you not expect that and what I would be interested to hear
Uh how canel handled your answer yeah I’ve got the chat room to our answer what did canel say to yours canel laughed and says that’s unbelievable and it said something else that uh I think Dusty was talking over him a little bit there but it was a um you know it was
Fair they but they it was laughing because you know only at Alabama can you lose some people in the portal get a brand new coach and you the expectations would be a national championship and I think they may have said U you know kayin dor knew what he was getting into
When he when he took this job but I will tell you big this isn’t this may seem stupid but big news yesterday that the sports medicine and the training staff was kept together in Tuscaloosa and if you don’t connect the dots um David Belo um in company that started the
Whole Sports Medicine Wing at the University of Alabama that basically they were hired and told to design a state-of-the-art Sports Medicine facility and Nick Sabin had it built and Jeff Allen who has been at Tuscaloosa before Nick Sabin and is staying there to be the head trainer what those guys
Created over there Belo and Jeff Allen but Bel specifically building out that sports medicine is state-of-the-art and when you’re talking about taking an athlete an elite athlete and getting him to the NFL his biggest asset his biggest uh thing he has in his life is his health his training and the
Rehabilitation and to keep David Belo who by the way was hired to Alabama from where Indiana where dor and wac so they pre uh Belo company came in to design that Sports Medicine thing um before dor and wack are here and now the band’s all back together that is huge on the recruiting
Trail I don’t know if it’ll help keep the athletes there but when they’re out selling to Elite recruits a lot of recruits come to Tuscaloosa because what they offer in sports training Sports Medicine Sports Development and just staying healthy yeah that was huge and you know Ellis Ponder too Ellis is the football
Operations guy that uh was I I don’t I mean Nick Sav trusted that guy implicitly and that guy was also a guy Nick Sabin would call anytime anything didn’t work exactly right Ellis’s phone would ring so that was uh that was pretty big keeping him around
Too so Lance I would agree I mean all those behind the scenes guys that you don’t maybe recog names wouldn’t recognize their face that stuff was working pretty well if you’re kayin dor you why go recreate it if it was working well to begin with right yeah I
Thought the Brandon Marcelo tweet I somebody it might have been one of you two shared it with the group last night but uh 13 hours ago what if I told you the night Alabama won its last National Title that in three years the Indiana offensive and defensive coordinators
Would take over for Nick s crazy end of times man that that’s that’s that’s not but uh that’s where we are right now go ahead brownie I was just going to give you some uh chat room reaction on expectations for Alabama uh Stephen says playoff Bama banana says the roster is decimated is
Decimated a fair word for you guys not yet um check with me if Caleb DS leaves one guy huh uh grind says n and three should be considered an okay season 10 and two would be a great season uh Keith says playoff prit law says give me a
Break LT on the national championship comment uh grind says bro said National Championship laughy face um laughing face Daniel says transfers LT transfers um a look transfers going out but you can also I mean one of the reasons Washington was so successful was because of their quarterback who came in
Via portal so you’re gonna lose some guys but I fully expect D’Or knows what he’s doing in the portal so I think he’s going to be able to utilize it I think he’s going to be able to you know we’ll see if if if the loss and the additions
You know if they balance out I mean that’s yet to be decided know over the next couple of weeks um AK says it depends on who all we keep but at this point I agree we are a championship Contender still uh Keith says Natty and
A 12 team is goingon to be all caps hard but it’s hard for everybody it’s hard for one team it’s hard for everybody um all these guys that got to build chemistry with a new staff which is important that is true Paul says 10 and two next year I’ll take that um Kool-Aid
Says Mr Kool-Aid maker says you just lost half your defense with no Replacements uh it goes on and on and on but I think that is kind of a uh summary of what people feel about that yeah I was uh talking to little T last night
About maybe building a graphic out of uh players who were on the two deep uh for Alabama’s offense and defense at the Rose Bowl game and then before the Sabin retirement removing the players who left to graduation or early to the NFL and then after the Sabin retirement those
Players that have left via the portal and just see how that to deep disappeared in Tuscaloosa I have not done it yet and I don’t know if we’re going to do it in an animated form or not but I’ll I’ll scribble it out on paper one day just to see how much the
Top 22 on each side of the ball looks totally different than the team that suited up out there in Pasadena yeah but we’ve seen that before we’ve seen the attrition from Nick sa and Kirby Smart teams I mean how many did Kirby lose to the draft last year or the year before
Wasn’t it 14 yeah yeah but say okay say you lose 14 to the draft uh say you lost 14 to the portal and now you’ve lost 14 more to the portal that were actually on your 22 I mean now now now that’s different you know than just the normal year it’s
These extra players that are leaving post you know not the ones that we’re going to the portal anyway if Nick and state here it’s these ones that are going to leave after the announcement that will do the most damage to Alabama and but you’re right whether it’s from
Washington right now or after Spring football there will be a chance to import uh some Talent down the road and the and as Paul says the new commitments that have came in and that was the question earlier because they were talking um again Dusty and Danny they
Were like uh do they need to go get a quarterback um you know because you know with Jaylen milro do they need some help in the quarterback room and I was like guys you know I don’t know if you’re paying attention but one of the best if
Not the best high school quarterbacks in Julian saan enrolled on January 10th now later that afternoon the greatest coach of all time also on the same campus he showed up at uh was um announced his retirement but as far as I know Julian saan is staying saan is staying right
Now so that’s a pretty good quarterback room in fact wouldn’t surprise me if you got a new coach if there’s a little bit of a quarterback competition in the spring between milroe and Julian saying well and and we still don’t know the destination of Will Rogers do we nope
Nope no I mean I don’t know if Alabama fans would be excited about that that’s one of those region have say boy I trust kayin deor here because Alabama fans saw him really at his worst I mean there were probably some other fan bases are like yeah take will right because they
Saw him play better but every time he played Alabama Lance it was an unmitigated disaster just about I mean but but you know I would say that for the majority now you know there was the oneoff or the the some offs of guys having career games against Nick sa
Defenses but you know those were the obvious one every two or three years a guy was having that and it wasn’t a consistent thing I uh dway I sense we need a commercial here uh I I there’s a Common Thread in the chat room that I
Wanted to bring up to in relation to transfers yeah let me uh tell you about Storm Restoration Roofing we’ll make it the Storm Restoration Roofing uh chat room over there and we’ll get some uh comments from you guys into the show and then we’ll get four downs from LT again
If you’re watching the show for the first time this is not our normal setup we are usually in a beautiful huge studio and platform and a lot more voices on the air but because of winter weather for the safety of our disrupt the media crew we are remote today and
We’re thankful to be going virtually commercial free no commercial breaks here today uh just our lovely in show sponsors today we appreciate the fine folks like Storm Restoration Roofing bringing you the show today uh Greg from pel City uh if you can look him up on
Facebook or you can call his sell number 205- 54235 31542 3531 listen one thing you get with Greg from pel city is a free no cost roof inspection no cost no obligation and that sounds too good to be true and for a lot of companies it is but not for
Greg from pel City so many people tell us when Greg came out free no cost roof inspection he get up there I expected to get into my pocket some way or another and he gets up there he actually maybe sometimes does a couple of easy repairs
Up there and never charges you for it he’s just a guy that um will take care of you the best he can now sometimes you you’ll have something that’s so broken up there that he’ll be like hey we need to do this or we need to do that and
You’re not obligated to use him but once you meet Greg I promise you he’ll be the guy you’ll use because he’s that trustworthy whether you’re replacing a roof whether you have some storm damage or whether you just need that free no cost roof inspection 205 542 3531 or
Just look him up on Facebook Greg from pel City and Storm Restoration Roofing Brown hey Brown real quick no no far away well I was just going to say I I just I think we’re sleeping on Will Rogers a little bit like I don’t know if he goes to b or not
But uh I do believe kayin dbor can evaluate quarterbacks as good as anybody right now in college football and 2020 was a broken uh year obviously with Co and everything and then this past year Will Rogers didn’t start every game battled some injuries but if you look at
The in between seasons of 21 and 22 he had a combined 71 touchdown passes 17 interceptions completed over 70% of his throws and averaged about 4,300 yards passing in those years um so I thought he was a penck had one really good year at Indiana but I thought overall Will
Rogers was a better quarterback at Mississippi State than penck was at Indiana now again I don’t know where Will Rogers ends up but you know I think this is a guy that can have success um one of the responses Michael says Will Rogers feels like Tyler Buckner basically
No no with with a bone drop yeah no with the yes not the mic drop the bone drop yeah I mean Bogner had what a sample size of like four games and you know I just I mean we we’ve got a lot and I know I think Zach said system
Quarterback and it was but you know it’s a different system but kayn dbor has got his system that’s been really uccessful for quarterbacks uh prit law says if Rogers comes I am leaving uh Alabama fan there I I will tell you I’m not as high on Will Rogers being part of this program
Either because first off he doesn’t have a lot of Eligibility left uh so you got Jaylen milro who at this moment is still on the roster if you’ve got Julian saan I don’t know about lern or Simpson or anybody else who is there I’m just saying that um it doesn’t seem like a
Perfect place for Will Rogers to come come if he’s a oneoff yeah um so here’s a Common Thread that has anytime we’ve talked about transfer portal today and the fact that it opens at places like Washington and um Arizona and Alabama now South Alabama with Kane wack leaving
For 30 days for players to leave and a lot of people in the chat room are saying just wait what would happen if Harbaugh takes the Chargers job and more on that as far as what’s going on with his contract situation coming up and if indeed as are some of the rumors
Brian Kelly left LSU to follow him if you open the Michigan and LSU portals uh boy it’d be kind of crazy the talent that would potentially be available in college football right now oh yeah yep and you talk about I mean right now Alabama fans are seeing their roster uh
People just coming after them has done way described as vultures um but yeah that would open up a ton of talent Hey listen I don’t blame them uh it’s some some point you if you’re an Alabama fan you hope there’s some Crimson vultures available to go pick over some other
Dead carcasses on the side of the transfer portal Road right there uh slice brings you four downs every day uh Lunsford and Forester and Company have done such a good job in Rockstar behind the scenes today uh he tells me he actually has the four downs first second
Third and fourth down sounds ready to go as well so tell us about slice LT you’ve got our four downs and we’ll uh we’ll do this almost like we’re in studio yeah uh when I I talked about the Old School pizza like this the best specialty
Pizzas out there they get so creative I know Brown loves the soul pie that’s got the black beans turnip greens um but the bajaya brothers Jeff bajaya created this concept his brothers Jason and Chris continue to celebrate the legacy of their late brother just a great dude but
Just fantastic pizzas in that old school that I got a hold of For the First Time Try It Out get you a slice and salad once these roads open back up four locations for you the original Lake View vavia monal cresline Park coming soon to Homewood for more information slice birmingham.com first
Down look at that first down more wins next year the Washington Huskies with Jed fish or his former team the Arizona Wildcats with Brian Brennan the former San Jose State coach um well I would I would start brownie by saying uh uh is Noah um yeah fa staying at Arizona is he
Going to Washington because delara has left and Gone to Texas state which seemed to be a very early jump from Arizona I mean from what I saw from delaro when he was healthy no offense to Texas State but there’s no way to not be offended when I started off by saying no
Offense to Texas State but it just seemed like delara played better when he was starter at Arizona than Arizona than Texas State well you had a uh I mean TJ Finley his career was resurrected with the Bobcat so if if you’re Delora maybe you just feel like hey I’m going to go there
I’m going to be able to start it is FBS football but I would have thought he would have better options than Texas State I I think I am inclined to go Washington though Washington’s getting hit hard in the portal too and that’s not near as good a roster what Alabama
Had so if they lose 20 players in the roster it’s it’s a lot more impactful or in the Port of the slore impact on their roster they were already replacing quarterback and all those receivers Brown I mean I mean not saying it was a good time for deor to jump but uh they
They did have a nice rebuild uh that they were going to have to restock going into the Big 10 and the question to me though all those great recruits that were in this together at Arizona are they going to be in in it together with him up at Washington or they going to
Raid the Arizona roster and move up to Washington I’m going to go Arizona as the answer here I I think so too I mean remember Big 12 to Big 10 too so there’s there’s a difference here second down you know what’s crazy about first down is how quick we’re hiring
Replacement coaches now Nick Sabin it hasn’t even been a week since Nick Sabin has announced his retirement and they’ve already replaced him from Washington Washington has replaced their coach from Arizona who’s already replaced the uh jet fish and we’re not even a week out I
Mean this has not even been one week and there have already been all those moves made in college football it’s insane out happens yeah almost like one agent is almost controlling it all more likely upset on Saturday in the NFL the Texans over the Ravens or the Packers over the
49ers I’m gonna say the Packers over the 49ers I think we’re watching what is an amazing string of luck from a organization when it comes to quarterbacks far to Rogers and this Jordan love Kid what he has started doing in the final five six weeks of the
Season has been amazing to me and though it it’s it’s a tough tough road to beat either number one I really think the best shot of the win is a good game a great game again from Jordan love and a bad game from Brock pry you I’m stewing
Brown still because the Rams would have been a slight favored intake Tampa this weekend and I just can’t imagine if Green Bay would have pulled the upset the Rams would be hosting the NFC championship game in Sofi you know what’s amazing about what Jordan love has done is he’s done that without
Christian Watson who might be their best receiver yep uh and now Rome playing great right now musra really good tied end but I agree Watson was back in the lineup but he wasn’t effective and you just wonder another week of of arrest if if he gets uh you know more game game
Ready but I agree with you I mean Watson was a stub before he went out I think if you go Houston here you’re banking on the fact that CJ STS too young and inexperienced to know he’s supposed to not win that game and then you’re banking on playoff Lamar Jackson which
Has not been the best Lamar Jackson going against Deo Ryan’s defense I mean you could see a path to a victory there for Houston that’s a great point and Klay charville I mean LT you and I talked a little bit about it I think it was in the office or maybe at Walk-Ons
This weekend but Klay CHS Nico Collins is I mean the last three or four weeks he may be the best receiver in the game yeah and and they’re playing with a ton of confidence and I just don’t know what you get like John Hardwell is obviously
A really good coach but we’ve seen some really bad Lamar Jackson postseason games and much like Dallas I think there is a ton of pressure on this Baltimore team and especially for Lamar Jackson to play at that mvp level um and you know I think deo’s got his team as Loose as
They can be right now so CJ’s going to go out there slinging around we’ll see what happens I kind of would lean just because I believe best team in football San Francisco and I think even with a bad game from Brock pie that defense can go out there and absolutely shut shut
Down Green Bay um I think the better opportunity of an upset is the Texans but can you believe if Green Bay were to shock the world that either likely Detroit would have another playoff game this one to go to Super Bowl how crazy would that Stadium be or if somehow
Tampa Bay shocked Detroit that Green Bay Tampa Bay would play 9 and8 Tampa Bay would host the NFC Championship Game wow there’s no way that happens no way third down and Green Bay Detroit a divisional game too like if that were at Detroit that’s crazy uh in the running for
Comeback Player of the Year Joe Flaco turned 40 today if I ask you the better Joe career Joe Flaco Joe pesi Joe pesi I mean Flaco he’s in Elite company Lance not many guys have quarterbacked in the games he’s quarterbacked in in the Super Bowls well and the and one of
The best road postseason quarterbacks of all time I mean you know I’ll never forget you remember when he got behind the cover Denver late in that game took him to the Super Bowl and absolutely just shocked that crowd there was no way they could lose that game and Flaco
Makes that incredible throw where Defender gets uh I forgot who the receiver was it was a kid out of Maryland got behind him anyway flaca was so good on the road but pesy nominated for an Academy Award 1980 for Raging Bull won an Academy Award in 90 For Good
Fellas my cousin Vinnie I would go P that’s right my cousin Vinnie Good Fellows uh Casino um you know the all the Godfathers I mean he was in everything wasn’t in the Godfathers war wars Star Wars Raiders of the Lost Arc sh Shake Redemption he was R2D2 wasn’t he fourth
Down way is undefeated all that stuff that’s she a Godfather he wasn’t he looks like he was all in all the mob movies he was in the Irishman that just see recently came out a few years ago okay so Albert phol 45 years old today better career Al pool Al Michaels
Rockstars laughing in the chat room at you over pronouncing Good Fellows fellows Good Fellows Good Fellows I can’t say opaa either I always say Leica Opa likea what was my was my choice I was still Al or Al Micha Al Michaels Albert phol uh it’s phos I mean someone say Michael was the
Best that’s ever done at dunway yeah but I would I would say I mean some would say that dway but yeah you can’t say some wouldn’t say that oh my gosh he’s on one of the most uh iconic calls in American Sports history in the Winter Olympics in 1980 the guy is still
Calling games how many Super Bowls has he call I know he’s been calling the top level ABC stuff for like 40 years now right time right place on the on Lake Placid uh he was he was an also ran calling College football he was the other crew off of Keith Jackson’s crew
He did Monday Night Football it was the biggest game of the week did he did he’s not he’s not one of the greatest he’s he could be one of the greatest but he’s not the greatest to ever do it meanwhile Albert phose was the greatest first
Baseman of all time well I think Albert PS is a top five guy I’m talking about any position as far as just swinging it um but boy I do think it’s tight because I’d like to just see Al Michaels credentials yeah people don’t like him now because of the
Way these broadcasts have gone with herb Street and look he does seem like a dick um that give me your top five give me your top five if Al Michael all time Dead or Alive it doesn’t matter all time uh well Keith Jackson was in there for college football okay um but Keith
Jackson didn’t have the career that Al Michaels did he did not and I love Keith Jackson he did not have Al Michael career well I mean Keith was the first Monday Night Football voice you know got short time and Michaels took over and had it forever Gord in between there yeah and
Then went to Sunday Night Football when Sunday Night Football was the biggest game of the week yeah uh Keith Jackson this is for me uh I know you guys will will but you know last night I think I had the best NFL crew last night on my
Game buck and Aman are so good at what they do together you can’t put Joe Buck you not put Buck over m I put Joe Buck over Al Michael I put Jim N over take [ __ ] or something I’ll put Jim Buck yes I like that crew I don’t have a problem with
Joe Buck it’s a very good crew but he’s not in front of Al Michaels Joe Buck is I like watching a Joe Buck game more than I do an Al Michaels game it’s a personal taste I’m sorry but I don’t like an Al Al Michaels
Game better than I do buck and Aman buck and Aman are really good is really good I don’t really love him with Romo but I like Jim Nance in games um Joe Buck would not nearly be as good without Troy Eggman though probably probably so it’s a
Combination there it’s a good combo I like their combo I don’t disagree with you I enjoy their combo Al Michaels you know saddle with Chris Collinsworth who rubs me the wrong way I think too’s really good Ron Franklin back in the old ESPN college football the college thing
Is it like does Collinsworth have something on the network like I think he does a good job The Voice will grind but how his kid has got a job is yeah I mean what was the situation there he’s the lead play-by-play guy from Notre Dame football Jack Collinsworth I don’t sha
MCD I love a Shawn MCD game more than I do Al Michaels games okay again you might like it more but Al Michaels much better career I mean he’s had a good career yeah but I agree I would go I’d go Al Michaels over Albert P is it given that
Albert phos is the best first baseman ever to play the game I mean Luke garri was pretty good right Ryan klco I don’t think it was Ryan I mean I would go Steve Garvey personal opinion um but no it’s probably Al Bulls that’s all I got okay four downs
Brought to you by slice tell us about slice again yeah get n see the bajaya brothers I had the pizza on Friday night again on Sunday fantastic local pizza local ingredients for more information jump into one of those four locations or slice birmingham.com um Maggie last
Night we prepared for the for the ice just in case so we made a a grocery run and we had uh delicious uh whatever you call it Fiesta soup taco soup different in each households so I had a bowl of that last night watching my uh Buccaneers win a playoff game did not
Expect that to happen ever again dick inberg is a great call Troy dick inberg back in the day really good and listen growing up a dolphins fan I got a ton of dick inberg and I like him but he’s not Al Michaels I can’t believe
You did all of that did you ever say Vince Scully did you ever Vince Scully so much better than Al Michaels I think he’s in the discussion some of the people put in discuss I can’t believe it yeah but V Vince Scully was like the best playball play guy of all time I
Think a lot of people would agree with that that’s yeah yeah I was just thinking football though Brandon I wasn’t thinking Al Michaels baseball I was just going football I think V Skully did some football he did he did he did but I think Al Micha Al Michaels did more
Baseball again I’m gonna pull this real quick I’m GNA tell you guys what Al Michaels did and again he seems like a dick to me but the guy has done everything I mean dony I enjoy Don cricky back in the day yes Terry I used
To I used to get him on the Dolphins games too Don cricky dick kenberg do you remember Bob trumpy I used to get a lot of Bob trumpy and Merlin Olen you remember those guys oh yeah dick urg and Merlin and then uh cricky and uh and the
The other guy you were talking about uh what made me a dolphins fan was the fact that when I was a kid NBC had the AFC package and there were no Southern AFC teams Houston Oilers were the closest to Birmingham other than Miami there were no Jacksonville there was no Titans so
We got on NBC 13 in Birmingham the NBC affiliate Birmingham we got the Dolphins every week so growing up as a kid that’s all I saw was the Dolphins so I was just like I like this Marino guy he’s going to be really good you know this when he was a rookie I’ll
Be a dolphins fans that’s how I became a dolphins fan because we got a ton of dolphins but I got AOS Bob trumpy and Merlin Olsen I got a lot of those guys doing Dolphins games yeah uh by the way um all the Braves announcers were back in the 80s and
Early 90s that group was special together a lot of great broadcasters out there Al Michaels is one of them but this whole putting him on this pedestal above everybody else come on Lance did you just compare the Dumber things you’ve said uh the guy is called Kentucky dery Olympics Wide World of
Sports Super Bowls World Series Indianapolis 500 I mean [ __ ] I don’t care about but High tier stuff especially back in the 70s and 80s when it was the only game on town if Al Michaels was in my backyard I’d tell him to hold it down hey you know what I texted dunway
Uh Saturday that Saturday Cleveland Houston Texans game I used to love Todd blackl doing college football loved him and I told other I think that’s the first time I heard blackl do a game all year because even if I had one of his games on it was never on the main TB
That guy he’s been wasted going to that big 10 package yeah and and that could be the the thing of the future as well um back to the Alabama conversation and all that LT a couple of uh your great sponsors uh Dr B and Harbin we’ll start
With Dr B and then we’ll get out to your backyard there start at the top and work your way to your backyard there yeah our friend Dr B not only has the hair more than doubled in thickness he is now offering the census transdermal infuser which I got a few months ago this
Enables Dr B to get various medicines and therapies into the scalp where the hair follicles are without using any injections this is revolutionary as Dr beckenstein can pinpoint delivery of a patient’s genetically specific products without any needles T3 hair. net 20531 90316 it’s a non-invasive treatment I’m
Doing it three times a week 30 minutes each time on the couch hair is more than doubled in thickness make the phone call that I made tell them the next round Cent you 205 319 0316 and also our friends at harbin’s Outdoors yeah harbin’s Outdoors again my backyard was a complete eyesore Jeremy
Harbin and his team came out we sat down put a pen to paper figured out the plan we wanted they executed it absolutely love the backyard uh you can go to at Harbin Outdoors is incredible work for yourself from the Landscaping the hardscaping ceramic pools jerem and his
Team they do it all again Harbin uncore Outdoors check it out today tiia Tong ofala is entering the NFL draft sources tell Matt zenet of 247 Sports your thoughts on Talia Tong ofala who went into the portal from Maryland on his way to the NFL draft uh this is a bold
Statement considering some of the quarterbacks we’ve seen play this year but tiia will never take a snap in the regular season that is a bold State he’s too small he’s too mistake prone I don’t think he can throw into those Tight Windows I mean what is maybe 5’9
510 uh I think he’s a little taller than Tua but I do not know that Lunsford if you know his height because he quarterback Thompson jump in here and uh give us the height here um I don’t know if you got a microphone set up over
There or not but uh Lunsford called some of his games you don’t know his height they don’t call him the best analyst in the business I’ll tell this this is to me one of the dumb decisions because you’ve got an opportunity to come back and play college football and make nil
Money he’s not gonna get drafted yeah you’re right he could be a undrafted free agent there um all right I got a couple of questions here from the chat room one of them BM 678 um Alabama fans Nick sabbin worried about his legacy Kirby’s already got two national championships and he’s only 48
Right now um if I said Kirby Smart’s not coaching at Georgia by the time he’s 55 if I put it at 54 and a half would you take the under or the over I take the under and just a couple of things I mean the thing is Kirby’s going to be in
This college football playoff every year like I don’t see a world where Georgia doesn’t get into a 12 team playoff ever agreed with that said Kirby is still an old school guy I know he can relate to the players at 48 still but I think much like Nick Sabin I really believe Nick
Sabin would have continued coaching if it wasn’t today’s new landscape where you have to deal with all this [ __ ] of guys shaking you down your own current roster shaking you down and trying to get more money each and every year and I think eventually that’s going
To be what breaks Kirby yeah I would take the under on that as well I I just don’t know like guys that have been coaching as long as Kirby as a head coach you’re going to see them go much over that age anyway uh this is not just
Kirby related I think it’s about everybody in college football related the money is so good and the demands are so high now I think I think he will be under that age yeah I mean imagine being 55 and having at that point I don’t know $50
Million and being able to do what the hell you want to do and if you want to uh be an analyst and still stay close to college football and you know be able to uh you know work that two days a week and make seven figures I mean the
Options are gonna be really good for Kirby s’more yeah I I would tell you this how old is Kirby’s kids his son I don’t know I would say he’s probably 10 11 12 is that is that about right you think oldest kid is a daughter
I believe so I believe that when his son gets to be let’s say his son son grows up and is playing High School football or high school baseball basketball whatever that Kirby seems like the kind of Dad when he’ll be have made so much money by then and accomplished so much
At winning at Georgia that I think he shuts it down and goes and watch his kids play games on Friday nights I see that just my opinion just my opinion I just think and I think Nick sa even he’s much older than Kirby is in the situation right now and I think Kirby
Fears like that’s you know I retire at say 55 if I’m Kirby you know my mind I got at least another good 30 or 40 years of my life maybe what am I gonna fill that time with you know like the first you know 30 years of my adulthood or 20
Years of my adulthood I filled it with grinding out a coaching living and working how am I gonna feel the last 30 years of my life I that scares a lot of these guys he’s got two twins that are 16 and his youngest son is 12
Yeah the um I don’t know if the 16s play sports but if the 12-year-old which I believe is a son if he’s 12y old is the one that he was helping coach his under eight football team um back in the day so that’s that’s the one to look out for
Yeah and you know Kirby’s the kind of guy you could see uh three years now four years from now the junior year coaching opening at his son’s high school and there’s Kirby Smart takes the job DC in high school uh he cash that money and then go there and give back to
The youth uh but but your point uh BM 678 is that he does have a tremendous head start on Nick Sabin if he wants to coach until he’s 72 on the amount of national championships he can win because Georgia is the program now they were the alpha in college football um
Probably should have been in the four team playoff even without the loss uh even with the loss to Alabama and could have won the whole dang thing had they been in that thing if they’d had a another shot at it even with one loss so they’re the team to beat and when the
New rankings come out in August to start the year they will be number one uh in the country conversation continues on trash coming up in a moment we are nonstop today all the way to the top of the hour being brought to you in part by our friends brownie at johnsonrv
Center.com johnsonrv center.com I65 exit 304 in Coleman 334 in deater always online as you said at Johnston RV center.com you’re going to start hearing a lot of people talk about RV shows uh with the spring and summer just around the corner and Johnston RV says why wait for spring
And summer we’ll do an RV show right now so they’re doing it at both locations now I am just going to guess offand both these locations uh could potentially be closed today so if you’re off and you’re looking for an RV you might want to check in advance Coleman indicator both
Got hit kind of hard by the winter weather I65 exit 304 in Coleman 334 indicator and they are always online you can find that information I’m just talking about at Johnston RVC center.com all the new stuff from Forest River is there and there’s a lot of Ed stuff
There as well prices starting as low as one 75 a month 175 a month with approved credit at Johnston RV Center I65 exit 304 in Coleman 334 indicator and always online at Johnston RV center.com Russy says if I’m Kirby I win a couple of more national championships and then I’m
Checking out and enjoying all my money and spending that in my 50s is the way he would do it uh Steven says he doesn’t think Georgia makes the playoffs this year I disagree with Steven there I think they’re easily in the playoffs this year just start with the fact that
They’ve got maybe the best quarterback in the country back in Carson Beck going into the year I don’t know who you’d rank as the best best quarterback in America but Carson Beck’s in the conversation right yeah yeah Carson Beck would definitely be in the conversation uh trying to figure out the
Obvious uh who that that guy would be right now well milrose in the conversation I don’t know what will be around him but he’s obviously a playmaker I think at Oregon with uh the talent around him I think Dylan Gabriel will be a guy that we’re talking about
Yeah and again don’t be shocked if Oregon’s a top five team in college football um them in Ohio State picked to finish one two uh in the SEC I would say Jackson Dart has to be in the conversation yeah I would go Quinn ERS over Dart um Dart dart’s really good
Yeah I mean there’s going to be I mean look it’s not going to be the quarterbacks we saw this year I mean this was a special year of quarterbacks in college football and ultimately I think it’s going to be a special year I think there could be three or four uh
Franchise quarterbacks that come out of this draft yeah well I I want to ask you that because Caleb Williams made it official yesterday he’s tired of trying to hold the Bears hostage and he did declare for the NFL draft yesterday was a deadline by the way so all those
Quarterbacks we just announced from Beck to milroe to Quinn yers to Dart they are they in they’re in for college football next year they missed the draft deadline so those folks are in but if I ask the question how many and this isn’t how many will be drafted in the first round
How many quarterbacks do you think are worthy to be drafted in the first round this upcoming NFL draft from college football now that Caleb Williams is in I’m gonna go six and let me see if I’m right I’m gonna go Caleb I’m gonna go I’m gonna go Jaden Daniels I am gonna go
Michael pennick Jr I am going to go I don’t think Bo is a first round guy I just don’t see it well he could be a first round guy but I’m saying worthy I think JJ McCarthy is worthy um I think JJ McCarthy’s gonna be good that’s
Five and who would I be missing here that might be it I would go four I would go four I liked your first four before you got to JJ McCarthy and I may switch out McCarthy for either uh Drake May or Daniels or pennick whenever we get to
That point yeah the only two that I feel like are slam dunks are Jaden Daniels and Caleb Williams like I think Caleb Williams although he won a Heisman I think he’s gonna ultimately have a better NFL career this is kind of like Pat Mahomes like when Pat Mahomes was
Drafted this is the ultimate freezing take from me I was like I don’t know what Kansas City’s doing he’s number 10 overall it makes no sense but I do think Caleb Williams is going to have a career like Mahomes I don’t know if he won that many championships but I think and this
Is not me being a USC Homer I think Caleb Williams at this next level is going to be a camp Miss guy you’ve owned that Pat Mahomes I will give you credit for that because I think most people would have just forgotten you ever even said that you you you have owned that
For years though anytime he does anything you point out that you doubted him but did you guys see that and look obviously this is you know we get paid to try to entertain you guys and have a little fun on on an icy day uh we’re not
General managers but I I just remember watching games he put up these massive numbers under Cliff Kingsbury but they wouldn’t win the games they never would win the games they barely got Bowl eligible and I just didn’t see him being a guy that could take the weight of a
Franchise on Caleb Williams seems like a guy that is ready made for that but you know yeah I was I was just going to look at quarterbacks that were drafted before him uh miss triny you remember everybody in that draft thought M Tris was the best quarterback in that draft out of
North Carolina right yeah and who was the kicker that that put it off the upright when Philadelphia went on and won the uh the um Super Bowl that year where really Chicago had 11 wins under Matt naggie yeah and he was your starting quarterback and I thought trabis really showed some upside that
Year and then he lost his confidence and that whole organization kind of fell apart but you know they make that field goal maybe things are totally different for his career and that was the only one drafted in front of him he was the second quarterback in that draft Deshawn
Wat went two picks after him to the Texans but trabis went up high and then you got to the to Patrick Mahomes yeah interesting uh that’s uh the the NFL news uh unless you want to talk USC they hire the Rams defensive line coach Eric Henderson to be the co-defensive coordinator with Danton
Lynn uh so Lincoln Riley has his coaching staff in line now Lincoln by the way uh in Tampa last night on the sidelines watching his two former quarter backs Baker Mayfield and Jaylen Herz battle it out in the playoffs said he wouldn’t miss it for the world glad
He was able to be there that’s pretty cool you know when Baker Mayfield came out back to my terrible take on Pat Mahomes I said that Baker Mayfield could be kind of a Brett favv light quarterback and I think that really has shown this year I mean he’s still a
Gunslinger uh I think he annoys a lot of people that aren’t his fans but man he’s gritty and you know when he’s playing his best football he’s a really good quarterback yeah all right we’re rolling on this is show number 619 we’re 221 days away from week zero a lot of
Portal movement going on uh for Alabama we’ll keep you up to date and that 2025 recruiting class uh continues to pull out and re-evaluate with the new coaching staff but as we started the show off Kane wck uh from South Alabama also formerly known as Kane wac is now
The defensive coordinator at Alabama that has been confirmed by South Alabama that he is leaving I’ve not seen an official confirmation yet from Alabama but it is a done deal everybody everybody reports that is has has done that yeah you guys some of the potential candidates to take South Alabama job you
Know who’s on that staff is Major Apple White and I know it has not worked out for him and see I would have to imagine his name is mentioned pretty prominently I’ve seen his name I’ve seen Rich Rodriguez I know you know you know who the longest tenure college football
Coach in this state is right now don’t you it has to be Rich Rod right it’s Rich Rodriguez that’s pretty crazy to think about that is because he got there right before Hugh fre did yeah down there keep in mind um I don’t know if Bill Clark wants to coach again but Bill
Clark’s out there if he wants to get back in it yep see that uh in the NFL circles harball met yesterday with the Chargers Bill bellich met with the Atlanta Falcons yesterday and weird to see belich with the Falcons you got to still think he’s in the mix for the
Cowboys if they pull the trigger yeah I think the Cowboys would make I don’t know would it make the most sense I for for belich I don’t think he wants to go out obviously with his Worst season since 1992 but I think he wants to find a
Place where he can win one more Championship because I think there is something about proving it wasn’t Brady that belich did have something to do with this and I think now just based on the last couple of years people are like it was bra so I think belich che’s got
To be really careful in his selection and I think the far-fetched thing about going to Atlanta is Desmond Ritter is not going to be a quarterback that can win you a championship and even if you draft a quarterback this year how long is it going to take for him to develop
Into a championship quarterback so really the one that makes sense for bich would be the Chargers with Herbert but we’ll see if you look at CJ stad though it happens faster than it used to he’s got the um we got B tonight Brandon go ahead I’m sorry you uh mentioned the Brandon
Marcelo tweet last night about if I take you back to the 2020 national championship game and Alabama’s hiring the coordinators for Indiana if I took you back to the 283 Super Bowl and showed them that Falcons announcement that they just completed an interview with Bill bich I mean how odd does that
Seem now with his connection to the most painful moment in Atlanta Falcons history and now they’re interviewing him and a lot of coaches wouldn’t mind or a lot of Falcons fans wouldn’t mind having it 100% hey by the way War damn po pods War damn pods part of our um disrupt the
Family disrupt the media family up here um it’s the village Vice and it’s got a really good thing up right now it’s called Alabama is V vulnerable and Auburn can take advantage of that it’s a new Village Vice episode 81 it’s at w Dam pods over on the disrupt the media
YouTube channel go there like And subscribe it’s specifically for Wam pods Auburn content all the time from the folks at the Village Vice so go check that out there also before we get to trash LT um I want to remind everyone that we got basketball tonight six o’clock SEC network Alabama hosting
Missouri um in the past five games Alabama’s backcourt Sears is averaging 20 points a game Griffin is averaging 13 points a game rol is averaging 12 points a game and Estrada is averaging 11 points a game four guards back court in the last five games all averaging double
Figures pretty strong from the tide as they get into SEC play yeah absolutely and I think more importantly though and we touched on this with Dan Dan Bradshaw is Alabama coming off of holding Mississippi State to 33% shooting and that was on the road in starville and I
Think state is is a really good sneaky team that’s going to beat a lot of teams this year um so guard play obviously coming together um but more importantly it looks like the defense is showing some life okay Auburn also in action tomorrow night earlier in the show we
Talked to Auburn assistant head coach Stephen Pearl that’s in our podcast section and a Taylor and Forester are sending out a lot of great stuff on our social media platforms at next round live Dane Bradshaw earlier with us talking about Alabama game tonight and all of SEC basketball also available
There before you tell us about mortgage right and give us trash LT uh secession and the bear racked up at the Emmy Awards last night did you watch any of it I did not uh little disappointed Young Jack Taylor invited him to come over and uh watch the game last night
And he said he was staying with mom and sister to watch the emies um not surprised about succession the bear you know I thought the bear was good kind of gave it up Midway through um I wasn’t as into it as a lot of people were but I
Thought it was solid but no no surprises there listed as a comedy by the way one best comedy the be dead yeah it was best comedy well you know succession was was Lunsford correct me if I’m wrong but the first couple of Seasons it was nominated as
Comedy really yeah yeah it won best drama last night you know sadly I uh I laugh at a lot lot of stuff I shouldn’t from movies like Sling Blade to succession but to me succession uh although it was you know it it it seemed
To be a really dark drama um but it was also a dark comedy Kieran culan won best actor you called it from uh scene one of the final season well I think really when you know he was trying to eulogize his father Brian Cox when he passed away
I think I think that won the award for him um he was and I think it was a perfect character you know from the first season to where it ended up for Roman um you know a dysfunctional kind of the odd kid out uh billionaire family uh didn’t
Really get a lot of love from his parents and he was such a unique disturbing character but he played it so well Sarah snook won sexiest person on movies and television I mean best actress I just just can’t believe um like if you watched Bella Ramsay in The
Last of Us she was so freaking good and I’m not going to take anything away from shiv I mean she really developed as a better actress I thought every season and a little more depth to her character but I just I love what Bella Ramsey was
Able to do with that character from The Last of Us ma Matthew mcfaden was the best supporting actor Tom Tom and Greg one of the best Duos we’ve ever seen on C camera um the Rapport between those two the writing uh it was just instant chemistry and you know I McFadden is now

You I’m on my damp January right now are you on your damp January okay uh I’ll be coming around that corner I had to read this story twice and I can’t believe they only got $3 million out of this Rocky but this one online retailer eBay Inc will pay $3
Million a fine to resolve criminal charges over harassment campaign waged by employees who sent spiders cockroaches and other disturbing items to the home of a Massachusetts couple according to court papers filed Thursday now here’s what went down well real quick this was a this is an update this
Story happened about I think probably four or five years ago that’s how long this is taken to because we did this in trash at the old place and uh it hadn’t been resolved yet now it’s finally resolved I didn’t remember this but the justice department changed eBay or charged eBay with stalking witness
Tampering and obstruction of justice more than three years after the employees who were prosecuted in the extensive scheme to intim intimidate David and AA Steiner now the couple produced an online newsletter called Ecommerce bites that upset eBay Executives with its coverage eBay engaged in an absolutely quote horrific criminal conduct the company’s employees
And contractors involved in this campaign put the victims through pure hell in a petrifying campaign aimed at silencing the reporting and protecting the eBay brand according to Acting Massachusetts us attorney Josh Levy um I just would think that if you were getting a bunch of stuff sent to you by
Emay that were back roaches and spiders that you would get more than $3 million I guess this is the three million fine and maybe they’re GNA settle in civil court that I don’t know but just to take the effort to send somebody some spiders and some cockroaches that takes some
Time to package to seal that package wait for it to be delivered for payday yeah okay so Brown we’ve heard the story before about the Burmese pythons and how they are killing the ecosystem of the Everglades in Florida a lot of people are getting pythons they’re letting them
Loose they don’t like them as pets and they’re saying that there is a invasive species that might be next up for Florida I know Rocky’s seen this brown would you like to guess what the next Burmese python of Florida might be um Cincinnati Reds I am going to go with what we just
Learned actually is a thing is a brown widow not the Black Widow but the baby of the brown reclus and the Black Widow the brown widow that it scares me to death that is not the brown widow but Florida has at least 40 more invasive species to worry about with someon
Unexpected creatures topping the list according to a recent quote Horizon scanning study now led by University of Florida scientist study assess 46 species that had not yet been recorded in Florida for their potential harm should they be introduced they are saying the most likely is going
To uh come into the fold is going to be a monkey gonna be a eating is it a maai what is it Rock mall maybe yeah it’s a type of monkey uh and it looks like it’s a little Japanese monkey it’s a little Asian monkey that uh I guess
People are trying to uh uh make home pets and then getting rid of them just like I don’t think it would do well though with all of the snakes and alligators and everything the monkey would seem like it would be very vulnerable and the ecosystem of the Florida Everglades yeah it looks like
The solution is going to happen Itself by the pythons which going to make the pythons feed and have more babies so that’s going to be another issue more python so is is there a uh is there a fear too though that the monkeys are carrying around like AIDS and Ebola and stuff like
That yeah they usually have they have a camera crew with them though well no I’ve seen I’ve seen the movie man I’ve seen the Dustin hoffin movie I know what happened there there’s a planet full of them like way over West they’ve made like you guys remember what happened in
The beginning of that movie though empy coughed in the in the uh theater yeah but but remember it was Patrick Demsey pulled over and it was the monkey that spit in his eye yeah and then it infected him and then he went to the the movies that night started
Coughing it up and boy it was over after that then we were doing the show at lt’s house y uh this one out of Canada the third annual Lumby out ouse race takes place January 21st at the West salmon Trail parking lot on betet street now a

In a Time moder’s underwear drawer mark p based in Melbourne was asked to remove a 5ot eastern brown snake from a three-year-old’s bedroom now P wrote the ordeal on Facebook quote mom went to get some clothes for her son found a large 5 foot brown snake instead
We figured out what happened she carried in folding washing yesterday and she was taking clothes from the clothes line brown snake crawled into it uh now the eastern brown snake there fast moving aggressive and known for their bad tempers no thank wow finally I’ve got lesser known bad
Omens from around the world Egypt using scissors wrong Egyptians seem to take the use of scissors very seriously if you use them the wrong way it could be bad Tidings for you your family your ancestors and even your descendants this Omen concerns making a cutting MO with scissors without anything between the
Blades that’s because it’s thought that you’re cutting up unseen souls and Spirits floating in the air supposedly they’ll get angry and come back later to attack you I don’t believe that the next one they’re real close to you they’re real close to your body if you’re just
Cutting and uh Aunt Jackie can’t be using scissors right either guys I didn’t realize this Mexico believes owls are bad luck according to Mexican tradition owls are bad luck when you hear the call of an owl or see one in Mexico it means death is near either to you or a love
One it’s a bad Omen there if I hear an I I don’t hear many owls but I did hear one where was I the other day I was at somebody’s place and I heard an owl um oh I tell you where it was uh when we
Were out in uh California and we were um visiting uh the friend the family house there during the Cowboys game I heard an owl I was like I gotow here there’s some Stone ass Killers by the way oh yeah that’s Anar get put in that category is there a
Chance that urban legend started because uh the cartel used that as a signal down in Mexico going as a signal to go running in and obviously you hear the sound and then boom death and destruction follows if you’re in Japan and you happen to whistle at night
You might get a few nasty looks that’s because according to folk tradition night whistling will attract snakes to the Village or city of the personal whistling thank God we don’t get that in our building with brown every morning I know how you doing dunway hey finally uh ROM okay
Traditions around Romanian weddings are fascinating full of superstition the way weddings usually begin in Romania could be seen as a bad sign traditionally around mid midnight before the wedding the bride is quote kidnapped by the groom’s friends this sounds a little dangerous uh who then demand a ransom
For the bride The Ransom is usually boozed during the wedding itself it’s also cust loaf of sweet bread above the bride’s head for good luck but there is one thing that never needs to be done that is seen as universally bad and that’s if during the wedding ceremony
The groom drops his bride’s ring that means the marriage is 100% doomed do you think anybody does this purposely just because they’re like I shouldn’t have been marrying this girl and I’m going to drop it I don’t want it to work I mean that was an Office episode wasn’t it brown where
They kidnapped the the bride and they had to go find find the bride yeah Rockstar do you remember that one I think it was I think that was Mo kidnapped if it was after Michael left I did not see it I have not seen any of the episodes after Michael leaves I

Last night too out there that was already crazy all right today’s the day I’m going to watch True Detective tell me uh rockar have you watched it yet no right now I got Paw Patrol on and uh featured by Blaze and Sesame Street we don’t watch anything here other than
Cartoons nothing yeah I uh I’ve actually seen it twice now really the whole thing yeah firste I just wanted to watch it again and you know I missed uh like I’m not really good at initially seeing uh uh what do they call the Easter eggs Rocky yeah but I saw a
Really good one yesterday when I watched it for a second time and I think it’s going to be an incredible season I’m extremely excited about it I do think there is a supernatural element to it so um this is going to be more in line
With I don’t know how to explain it I guess it was a little Supernatural in the first season of True Detective right well from the Articles I’m seeing about it I know it got reviewed about they’re they’re accusing people of revie riew bombing it because it is a female cast
And it’s like they don’t want a female strong female lead and so people are review bombing it say it’s the worst season premiere of any show they’ve ever seen uh because a bunch of the daily mails said the overwhelmingly review was awful so I mean like I don’t know I will
Say you guys know I’m the first taking shot at the WNBA game or somebody ironing the shirt um but look I just like really good entertainment and jod Foster I think we forget how good of an actress she is um you know this is a girl that’s won I think she won an
Academy Award for the accused she won one for science of the Lambs uh just in in the hour and 15 minutes I saw her in this debut she is gonna it’s gonna be an incredible character I can tell the Cali Reese girl that plays opposite of her um
They’ve obviously got history and I guess it’ll play out and we’ll see what what happened between their two characters but she’s a former MMA fighter in real life and I think this is only her second role but it doesn’t seem too big for her so it is the creator
Writer director is a female the the two female the two leads are female but I don’t know how you can’t get past that if you just like really good storylines and you know quality entertainment two more things two more things Ro Rockstar and LT and brownie to put on your radar
And all of our viewers um to watch I’m told death and other details on Hulu is entertaining and then which brings me to you for your romantic comedy folks out there which brings me to you is a movie that’s coming out maybe this weekend which brings me to you 20 somethings 20s

Well Rocky man thank you very much for hanging out with us we’re gonna unless you want to sit there and uh chime in on Alabama’s roster movement and everything I got some I got some stuff to say about this transfer portal thing I don’t want to um first of
All you know the big question right now though is Caleb DS and I’m trying to get the latest um man I think people are freaking out about this I don’t know what ultimately his plan is I mean who do you guys think would be in the mix
Texas oh I think it’s instantly to Georgia y yeah I think uh I think I remember reading yesterday his finalist I think uh where Ohio State and Notre Dame were in his finalist too so you would have to think if you like them the first score round you might look again
Um but I will say I credit him for being deliberate about this I mean a lot of guys hit that portal right away and already had their destination ready to go in Isaiah Bond’s case and that’s fine for them but I I credit Caleb DS for saying I’m not gonna make a rash
Decision here I’ll be deliberate about this he’s waited to see who Alabama’s hired as defensive coordinator I would have to imagine that Kane wck the first thing he does if he’s not already in tus gloa today the first thing he does is he sits down with any key defensive players
That are in town right now they’re in class right now and sells them on his vision of Alabama’s defense they had a team meeting last night and uh and Caleb was there um but doesn’t mean anything he still has 20 plus days to to enter the transfer portal and he is the best
Um I think freshman in America so he could uh he could definitely hit the portal uh right there uh Force you’re telling us Robbie Ashford has made his decision he’s at South Carolina it was an official visit he took so Robbie Ashford goes to play for Shane Beamer up there
Boy I bet South Carolina fans are just celebrating in the streets right now um you know I would have thought Robbie Ashford would would have like probably known by now you go from Oregon to Auburn that much like who went to Texas State earlier J D yeah Jay Delora is a 10
Times the quarterback that Robbie Ashford is I mean I don’t know if Ashford thinks he’s gonna play at South Carolina I find that hard uh hard to believe well maybe maybe he doesn’t play quarterback better than I expect yeah and maybe not but for me you got better than I expected UM
Quarterback play out of Spencer Rattler at South Carolina I mean that’s better than what I thought you would get from Spencer Rattler in his time at South Carolina so much so to your point Lance that’s pretty big downgrade yeah but I’ve SE yeah we we’ve seen even Spencer
Rler at Oklahoma you saw moments and you saw Elite moments and then you really saw it at South Carolina against Tennessee and against Clemson and I just I’ve never like Robbie Ashford can fly um so in space he’s really good but I’ve just never seen anything close to that
Yeah Royal Payne says t- Rob was likely gone before Sabin retired that’s something we’ve talked about a couple of times Brown that even before Nick made that announcement Georgia was reaching out well uh he is responding to Bobby who said how toab screw up not keeping T Rob’s defensive coordinator DS would
Still be there uh the day Nick Sabin retired um the day Nick sa retired we’ve talked about this a couple of times on the show we had heard the Rumblings and there was one in particular person that reached out to us and told us we trusted
Them and then when they told us who their Source was we really trusted them about Nick savin’s retirement and the people done away that we started in Lance we started reaching out to within the Alabama football bubble people that are in the malmore facility on a day-to-day basis told us two things
Number one that Nick sa was interviewing replacements for the already open staff positions and number two that he was working with u trying to keep T Rob because Georgia had already lob that that offer in there to Javaris Robinson so before jais Robinson even knew Nick Sabin was retiring he was already
Talking about going to Georgia and perhaps even going to Georgia I don’t that might have still happened if Nick Sav had stuck around I I I don’t know I don’t know what Nick sa was going to do at defensive coordinator but Kirby but uh Nick sa already knew that Kevin still
Was retiring and had not elevated him yet to defensive coordinator as of the day he retired yeah and there there could be something to that but if if I’m T Rob I you know fresh you know new new regime coming in if I’m offered the exclusive uh defense coordinator it’s an
Offensive staff like that I know I’m going to be able to put my stamp on it um and ultimately I think Alabama would have paid more um kind of weird yeah by the way J Price says are you guys going to talk about the Auburn commitment um if we talked
About Texas safety jiren Thompson yesterday on the show um I don’t know if I if there’s been another one out of the portal today throw it up there J Price and I’d love to talk about it that’s the last one I have for Auburn but again
There there’s so much moving in and out right now I may have missed something and I apologize if that is the case so um please let me know if I missed another we’d love to talk about it but the last one I had was jiren Thompson
Safety from Texas to Auburn and we did that that was it Jim okay that was yesterday uh but yeah he’s a guy um who played at Texas and we’ll add some depth there uh in the secondary for Auburn next year and should be on the field uh
And nickel to start things off for Auburn next year um all right final thoughts um brought to you by our friends at New York butcher shop they also bring you our steak bets they’re also bringing you Browns uh date night on Friday night and LT they’re just a
Great place to go grab some food oh Jim Jim has established such a good relationship with Maddie and uh all these stores were closing last night and so she went to the Kaba heights location of New York butcher shop and he loaded this up minnow dip uh we had a spinach
Artichoke dip uh got some fresh ground beef for spaghetti and meatballs last night uh rare quality well done service Jim and is they the best huge deli sandwiches for lunch best steaks chicken uh everything out there two locations the original in Kaba Heights one on Highway 119 in Greystone get in go see
The fine folks at the New York butcher shop hey hey dunway I know I know this probably is not where you were going I just wanted to point this out real quick um I saw this last night meant to bring it up earlier um and this is IND
Indicative of what cayin debor has to do and I think if you’re an Alabama fan you’re encouraged that he’s taking these steps um the Alabama football coaches association that’s High School coaches their convention uh is Thursday night January 25th their keynote speaker was Nick Sabin their new keynote speaker is kayin
Dor that’s right and if you’re an Alabama fan that’s very encouraging because one of the things he’s got to do and we talked about this yesterday is he’s got to get to know Alabama High School coaches and Georgia High School coaches and Mississippi High School coaches the coaches he doesn’t really
Know from not having recruited in this part of the country that is a huge step in the right direction to say all right Nick sa was supposed to speak there I’ll take that spot and it’ll be my introduction to a room full of Alabama high school football coaches yeah go
Ahead no you go ahead first I want to make one final point after you okay I was just gonna say that um now that Kane wack is announced it at Alabama as a defensive coordinator watch for the defensive side of the ball to fill up uh
The rest of of the staff the assistant coaches to go with wack and Freddy roach who is kept over from the last uh from Nick sabin’s coaching staff and that will be huge uh on two fronts one recruiting and also like who’s gonna be the DB coach maybe that helps Caleb DS
Make his decision but it’s got to happen quickly uh wack is a comfort hire a quality coach leaving a head coaching job but he’s familiar with dor not familiar with that roster he’ll sell himself to that but those position coaches whether it’s the DB coach linebacker coach dline coach to go with
Freddy roach there all that becomes important hires too and they need to be elite recruiters Devonte Smith DB says I made it sound like it was a long meeting with kin dbor oneon-one and he said for the guys who are hitting the portal that haven’t taken time to get to know these
Guys um they’re really good guys and he said we talked about things that weren’t football so Devonte Smith the DB not the wide receiver who almost killed the Box SL last night um he was very complimentary of the divorce staff uh LT you got a final thought there yeah uh
Two things uh any chance Carl Scott ends up on the staff I think that there was a belief that Carl Scott did want to come back and would ultimately uh do that if he was the defensive coordinator obviously that’s not the case now so I don’t think you’ll see Carl Scott and
Then Michael has asked multiple times about Juju Lewis we don’t really keep up with recruiting but this is a dude that does graduate high school till 26 Michael says he’s reclassified I haven’t seen this he was a hard commit to USC in Lincoln Riley Alabama was
Right there in the mix um Julian Lewis is supposed to be a great quarterback but he’s 15 years old so even if he’s reclassifying I just find it hard to take a 15y old seriously but you know maybe this the guy the boor is in the
Mix for but I guess he could be reclassifying from the 2026 class down to the 2025 class meaning his recruitment is going to happen this year right yeah I think that’s what Michael was saying but I I don’t know if that necessarily means that kayin deor is in
The mix for him or not yeah and I just got an update ironically Brown Oh Yeah from from the uh the athletic it says USC commit Julian Lewis reclassifies to 2025 and then the question is can the Trojans keep SEC schools from flipping him well um you’re right Lance is right
We’re talking about a 15y old there there’s a there’s a lot that can happen yeah he’s legitimately 15 years old by the way yeah um on the recruiting front you know this was kind of I don’t know if it was rumored last night if it was being reported by Bama online last night
But on three has reported it that um the five star as they call him Five Star Plus wide receiver Ryan Williams a surprise visit last night in that meeting you referenced onway in Tuscaloosa um was in Tuscaloosa and will come back this weekend for his official visit you got to think Alabama Auburn
And Texas A&M are probably in the mix for this kid but Texas A&M’s out he signed up he’s got four dates signed up for official visits it’s LSU first and Alabama this weekend then it’s the Texas Longhorns and the last one now is Auburn on
February 2nd yeah but uh I I would not listen this is recruiting so you got to hesitate reading anything into do anything in recruiting but a you know a guy just showing up on campus for his visit and talking to the new coaches if you’re an Alabama fan if you’re looking
For a good sign that would probably be something you would say okay that’s a it’s a positive sign doesn’t mean he’s going to Alabama doesn’t mean anything but it’s a positive sign I would have to say if you’re an Alabama fan yeah to me usually last visit
Wins and his last visit is who Auburn it does feel that way I would agree yeah I mean you you kind of have the floor it seems like if you get the last visit yeah you stack it up I think as a recruit or recruits family or all
That you stack it up that way of where you want to end up so that you can get your offer from LSU your offer from Alabama your offer from Texas now just follow me there on okay LSU now to Alabama who already had me for a while
Now they’re going to up the offer a little bit now to Texas who’s give me the most amount of money and then I go to Auburn and say okay here’s what I’ve got from Texas and Alabama what do you what what do I get here I mean it’s just
Smart business I think at that point this guy is supposedly the Percy Harbin of this generation legit can do everything instant impact player so whever gets him uh it will be worth the money that’s a huge comparison I mean I hate to do that to kids because Percy Harvin was an incredible college
Football player there you go LT I don’t think you thought we could do three full hours without stopping but we have done it guys it is over with we plan on being back in studio tomorrow uh but we’ll let coach Brown make that call a little bit
Later am I in charge of this I don’t know it’s just I just like I you seem to be the one that is uh I don’t know you seem to be the highest elevation no no no Lance you know what it is don’t way you want somebody else to do it so he
Can second guess it that’s why me well I I’m on a flat ground the only Hill I’ve got to worry about is getting up to the office you have to come down the mountain and then up the mountain I I’ll make this still with Lance dway can go into
If you’re not can make it we make it if now he doesn’t show by himself what do you think yeah that’s fine with me by the way everything is closed out there said Cracker Barrels open that’s it and Waffle House in Waffle House yeah always open Waffle House all right God
Bless you God Bless America you guys be safe

Out of all the TNR shows, that was definitely one of them.
As much as I don’t really like him, Baker Mayfield competes as hard as and plays every play as hard as any player in football.
Just rename the show bama homers or something guys. No need to make yourselves suffer talking about anything else
