1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,900 Now, get ready to roll Shoals, Decatur, Athens, and all of Northwest Alabama and Southern Tennessee. It's time for the Valley's exclusive FM Sports Voice. 2 00:00:15,660 --> 00:00:29,980 The Boomo Bugg Show. Your exclusive inside track to the Tigers, Tennessee and the rest of the SEC. Now your host, Harold Bugg on 93.9 The Score. 3 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:49,780 Good afternoon and welcome in to the Boomo Bugg Show. I'm Harold Bugg alongside Brett Beaird. Thank you so much for giving us a street ride around the Tennessee Valley. Brett Beaird, welcome in where Alabama suffers a big dog bite and Auburn says we're not quite through thanks to LSU. Good afternoon, welcome in and how are you? 4 00:00:49,780 --> 00:01:03,160 Happy Wednesday to you and the listeners. Georgia snaps Alabama's eight-game winning streak, 98-88, and Auburn rebounds to beat the LSU Tigers, 88-74. 5 00:01:03,700 --> 00:01:21,000 The Dessler boys lose to Fairfield, 61-57. In the Class 4A state semifinals to end the run for our Shoals teams in the Final Four, Gary Breed, as usual, leads the team scoring 21 points for the Tigers. 6 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:32,040 And not only that, Luke, who is on the on-deck circle to lead off AA from ESPN, Andrea Adelson checking in from the Big O, Orlando. 7 00:01:32,260 --> 00:01:33,800 Andrea, welcome in. How are you? 8 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,700 I'm doing great, fellas. How are you all doing today? 9 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:37,160 Good, dear. 10 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,240 We, thanks, I'm proud you asked. We have a question. 11 00:01:40,500 --> 00:01:48,240 So are you, you're a Florida grad, are you taking your boy Todd Golden or John Calipari in the next battle of testosterone? 12 00:01:48,240 --> 00:02:05,820 Wow, I was not expecting. You know, usually you welcome me in with a little bit of softball. I was not expecting that question, Matt, but I appreciate it. Look, how can I go against Todd Golden, right? 13 00:02:05,940 --> 00:02:14,100 I mean, hello? Like, reigning SEC and national champs, guys? Like, you've got to go with the champs. Testosterone or no testosterone? 14 00:02:15,380 --> 00:02:19,520 And I got a feeling that age may be on his side if they're going to go to the middle round. 15 00:02:20,140 --> 00:02:23,320 Andrea, let's talk a little bit about things that are going on crazy. 16 00:02:23,940 --> 00:02:30,960 Of all the things that are interesting with what's going on in the world, what's coming up this week for college sports fans in general, not just football. 17 00:02:31,100 --> 00:02:41,480 The power for a conference commissioners are supposed to huddle at a place called the White House in a round table with a guy by the name of President Donald Trump about the future of college athletics. 18 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:47,560 Andrea, how much confidence did you have once this thing is done, all these problems are going to be fixed? 19 00:02:47,920 --> 00:03:02,240 Oh, yeah. On a scale of like one to ten, my confidence level is a one because I feel like college has been going to Congress for how many years now asking for help? 20 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:12,600 Yeah, I appreciate that the president is offering them an opportunity, but nothing has changed in the entire landscape. 21 00:03:12,740 --> 00:03:18,500 It's only gotten worse than the fact that the leaders have been asking for federal help. 22 00:03:19,020 --> 00:03:24,440 And, you know, I don't know, it's just me, guys, but I feel like a war going on in the Middle East. 23 00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:25,240 Yeah. 24 00:03:25,380 --> 00:03:28,960 Maybe you should take precedence over what's happening in college sports first. 25 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,220 Not in Alabama, Andy. 26 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:30,820 We should do. 27 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:31,680 Okay. 28 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:33,740 That's just me. 29 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:34,400 I don't know. 30 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:35,200 I don't know, guys. 31 00:03:36,100 --> 00:03:40,080 But, you know, look, it's good that you have a bunch of voices. 32 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,460 They're going to be coming together and everyone's going to get to say their piece. 33 00:03:43,900 --> 00:03:46,260 But what is the ultimate outcome here? 34 00:03:46,260 --> 00:03:54,960 How are they going to get together in a roundtable discussion to come up with the type of meaningful change that is absolutely needed, 35 00:03:55,080 --> 00:04:06,040 particularly because you're going to have a bunch of guys and gals sitting at these tables who have wildly different viewpoints about what needs to happen in collegiate athletics? 36 00:04:07,340 --> 00:04:14,160 Andre, actually, Condoleezza Rice may be the most logical person to lead this. 37 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,240 We'll see where that goes. 38 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,840 But, again, I'm like you. 39 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,960 I don't have a lot of confidence in the meeting. 40 00:04:21,260 --> 00:04:21,940 I agree. 41 00:04:22,140 --> 00:04:25,680 I'm glad somebody's trying to get some people together to do something. 42 00:04:25,860 --> 00:04:29,340 But, AA, who is ever going to step up? 43 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,740 Will it be the conference commissioners, the selection committee? 44 00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:37,460 That's not their mission statement. 45 00:04:37,460 --> 00:04:50,120 But who is going to step up and say, look, here is a proposed agenda for the college football calendar to begin at week zero, have two byes. 46 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,500 Here's the early signing day proposal. 47 00:04:53,380 --> 00:04:57,040 This is when the playoffs should begin and end. 48 00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:07,540 Will we ever see an entity or individuals or a committee step up and say, look, let's start with this. 49 00:05:07,940 --> 00:05:08,820 We can work. 50 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,500 We can take this out. 51 00:05:10,620 --> 00:05:12,040 We can take that out. 52 00:05:12,460 --> 00:05:13,980 And just here is a blueprint. 53 00:05:14,220 --> 00:05:15,300 We think we will work. 54 00:05:15,420 --> 00:05:17,340 Let's just sit down and work it out. 55 00:05:18,060 --> 00:05:22,000 Yeah, I really wish that would happen. 56 00:05:22,420 --> 00:05:29,420 And, you know, in conversations I've had with coaches, you know, they talk about this at their AFCA meetings, right? 57 00:05:29,580 --> 00:05:33,580 I mean, coaches have ideas about how to fix things. 58 00:05:33,580 --> 00:05:47,020 The problem is that once it gets to committees and once it gets out of the coaches' hands, then you start dealing with folks who are thinking, well, they've got all the answers and they know what's best. 59 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:54,300 And so you get a lot of frustration talking to coaches about nobody ever consults us, nobody ever wants to hear from us. 60 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,400 We have the answers, and yet it doesn't seem to happen. 61 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:09,000 And I think part of it is because there are competing interests when it comes to television, for example, with the playoff and also working around the NFL. 62 00:06:09,460 --> 00:06:13,920 And I think that's kind of where the biggest frustration has been from the coaches. 63 00:06:14,060 --> 00:06:21,340 If you heard Dan Lanning talk last year during the CFP, he had a great solution for how to fix all the calendar problems. 64 00:06:21,340 --> 00:06:25,220 And the national championship is on Jan 1, and then we're done. 65 00:06:25,620 --> 00:06:35,040 But, well, but then there's a conflict with the NFL, and then we can't extend it into January, and then what about television, and what about the eyeballs, so on and so forth. 66 00:06:35,380 --> 00:06:43,520 And so now you're left with a situation in which you are playing next year even further into January. 67 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:50,600 I don't know what that's going to do with the portal and getting guys into school for those teams that are playing on Jan 25. 68 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:52,980 So it is a mess. 69 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:54,680 Everybody knows it's a mess. 70 00:06:55,020 --> 00:07:01,740 But because of all the competing interests involved here, fellas, nobody is willing to step up and come up with a solution. 71 00:07:01,940 --> 00:07:06,520 Kind of what's happened with college sports in general. 72 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:11,420 Too many people with too many competing interests who can't come together for their greater good. 73 00:07:12,300 --> 00:07:13,220 Yeah, it's real simple. 74 00:07:13,340 --> 00:07:14,820 Two letters says it all, Andrew. 75 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:15,400 A-I. 76 00:07:15,500 --> 00:07:16,660 Just go to A-I and ask you. 77 00:07:16,740 --> 00:07:20,880 I mean, when I'm trying to choose a popsicle, I just go to A-I and it tells me. 78 00:07:20,940 --> 00:07:23,140 So it's not that complicated unless we make it that way. 79 00:07:23,500 --> 00:07:25,160 Andrew Adelson, ESPN. 80 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,920 Andrew, they're finally getting to the part here where this thing is kind of getting out of control. 81 00:07:31,060 --> 00:07:33,580 Football players being sued for breach of contract. 82 00:07:34,220 --> 00:07:36,340 Brendan Soresby is the face of this. 83 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:37,260 Hello, Cincinnati. 84 00:07:37,420 --> 00:07:37,920 I love you. 85 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,040 But, oh, by the way, Texas Tech is going to offer me more money, so I'm leaving. 86 00:07:41,300 --> 00:07:43,460 Cincinnati says, not so fast, my friend. 87 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:49,440 They're suing him for at least up to a million dollars because he transferred breach of contract. 88 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,060 How important is this case? 89 00:07:53,060 --> 00:07:55,080 Because in law terms, it's called a precedent. 90 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,180 If Cincinnati wins here, what signal is that going to send for the rest of the brethren? 91 00:08:00,340 --> 00:08:06,040 Well, you know, it's interesting because obviously Duke also sued Darian Mensah because he had a two-year contract. 92 00:08:06,340 --> 00:08:08,780 And I know it's a slightly different circumstance. 93 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:10,960 This is solely overpaying the buyout. 94 00:08:11,420 --> 00:08:17,140 But there are so many schools that are going to be paying attention to this because you have some comments. 95 00:08:17,140 --> 00:08:21,820 I believe the Big Ten has kind of like a standard contract that they've been giving the players. 96 00:08:22,260 --> 00:08:24,660 The ACC, for example, does not. 97 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,560 I'm not sure what the Big 12 situation is. 98 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:34,600 But I know Florida State, for example, has been very proactive about inserting these buyouts into their contracts 99 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:42,800 with very, very clear language that if you were to leave, then you would be on the hook to pay this money, 100 00:08:42,860 --> 00:08:45,000 which I'm assuming is the case for Cincinnati. 101 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,780 I can only speak to the folks. 102 00:08:46,780 --> 00:08:59,960 Just using this as an example, they had several players who thought about maybe looking around and said, I'm going to enter the portal or a third party said they were going to enter the portal. 103 00:09:00,460 --> 00:09:07,160 But once the language in the contract became clear that the buyout, there was no negotiating around the buyout. 104 00:09:07,260 --> 00:09:08,460 This is what the contract said. 105 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,580 Those players ended up staying at Florida State. 106 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,820 So, again, I'm not sure what the Cincinnati contract says. 107 00:09:14,900 --> 00:09:15,640 I'm not a lawyer. 108 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:25,600 But if you sign a contract that says there's a buyout in it, I'm not sure what the legal wranglings are to be able to get out of that buyout. 109 00:09:25,660 --> 00:09:32,000 Now, we've also seen coaches who've had large buyouts, and then those buyouts have been lowered through negotiations. 110 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,600 We've seen all sorts of things. 111 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:48,140 But the one piece of leverage schools have felt that they have had in writing these contracts is the buyout language as a way to keep players to the contract without them breaking it early. 112 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:56,460 So, that's why I feel like this is such an important test case that's going to go through the courts or arbitration, however it's going to end up, 113 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:08,140 because schools that I know who put these buyouts in have felt like that's the only part of relief that they can get in order to make guys stay. 114 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:14,840 So, I think it is going to be fascinating to see how this whole thing plays out, because, again, we go back to the central point. 115 00:10:15,340 --> 00:10:21,560 What's the point of a contract or a multi-year contract if anybody can just get up and break it? 116 00:10:22,860 --> 00:10:24,060 Well, that's just it. 117 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:31,940 My dad, God rest his soul, was a judge for 12 years, and you've got a written contract. 118 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,220 Double-A judges look at that differently than a lot of people. 119 00:10:36,380 --> 00:10:41,420 If it's written, I think he's going to have to work out something with them, because he's going to have to pay something. 120 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,600 Your staff does a really good job. 121 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:49,760 I know with spring practice beginning for a lot of schools, Alabama actually begins Monday. 122 00:10:50,640 --> 00:11:02,900 The storylines, the spring storyline, the position of intrigue, players to watch, your staff has got the Big Ten preview, the SEC preview. 123 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:18,560 I'm guessing the SEC you may be helping with, but talk a little bit about if you want to get a little bit of a jump start on the upcoming season, and in particularly spring practice, the ESPN staff does a good job of looking at all the conferences. 124 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:27,300 I appreciate that ACC dropped today, and I can tell you that we put in a lot of time and effort into this. 125 00:11:27,380 --> 00:11:31,860 We've got about 500 words on each team in all of those conferences. 126 00:11:32,860 --> 00:11:44,800 Nowadays, with so much player movement, as we just mentioned, through the portal, freshmen, guys going to the NFL, teams are more different than ever year after year. 127 00:11:45,220 --> 00:11:50,440 Even for us reporters, it's hard to keep track of all the movements sometimes. 128 00:11:50,700 --> 00:12:03,120 So when you take a look at these, it just puts it in very easy, digestible form with your key players who are back, key players who are in position battles, key transfers who may end up making an impact. 129 00:12:03,260 --> 00:12:08,260 So it's just one comprehensive place to find all of that information. 130 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,660 As you mentioned, schools have been kicking off. 131 00:12:10,740 --> 00:12:13,100 Clemson started this week. 132 00:12:14,180 --> 00:12:17,680 In the ACC, for example, NC State's already underway. 133 00:12:17,860 --> 00:12:20,660 Florida is underway as well. 134 00:12:21,180 --> 00:12:29,120 Saw some footage today on social of new quarterback Aaron Filo, you know, throwing some pretty balls. 135 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:40,340 So it's great to see spring ball back, and it's a great place on ESPN.com to really get your readers' digest for all the powerful teams and what's happening this spring. 136 00:12:40,860 --> 00:12:43,860 Now, before we jump off, you're tied with Mr. Dalbo. 137 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,140 What's going to happen at Clemson this season? 138 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,060 You know, it's a great question. 139 00:12:48,180 --> 00:12:53,360 I actually was listening to the coordinator press conferences now that their spring is underway. 140 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:58,660 Chad Morris is now the offensive coordinator, so I guess what's old is new again. 141 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,060 They're sticking with Christopher Vizina as the quarterback. 142 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,820 They didn't go into the portal to get a quarterback. 143 00:13:05,140 --> 00:13:08,860 They feel like he's got all the tools, but you're going to see a different Clemson offense. 144 00:13:09,100 --> 00:13:11,440 They really want to establish the run again. 145 00:13:11,820 --> 00:13:18,720 As you guys know, when Clemson was hitting on all cylinders and winning national championships, they were so good in the run game. 146 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:23,540 Travis was such a key component to all of that. 147 00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:31,800 So, they really want to go back to that offensively, establish that as their identity, which had been their identity for so long. 148 00:13:31,860 --> 00:13:37,280 And defensively, guys, they brought in nine transfers for Tom Allen going into year two. 149 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,720 They needed help across the board. 150 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,380 Of course, one of them, Luke Ferelli, you guys know, left for Ole Miss. 151 00:13:43,380 --> 00:13:53,680 But they've got key contributors on the defensive line and in the secondary that I think are going to be valuable additions for that unit to get them back to being elite. 152 00:13:53,900 --> 00:13:57,260 But is this a team that can win an ACC championship? 153 00:13:57,500 --> 00:13:58,640 To me, it's funny. 154 00:13:58,740 --> 00:14:00,480 I was talking to Mario Cristobal the other day. 155 00:14:00,540 --> 00:14:02,920 He was in town for a coach's clinic. 156 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,240 And he finally plays Clemson this year. 157 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,680 And he told me he thinks Clemson still is the most talented team in the ACC. 158 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,640 I said, Mario, I feel like you're selling yourselves a little bit short. 159 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,800 I feel like Miami has surpassed Clemson. 160 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:17,860 And he said, have you looked at their roster? 161 00:14:18,020 --> 00:14:19,580 I said, yes, I've looked at their roster. 162 00:14:20,100 --> 00:14:25,080 I think Miami's done a better job developing some of their players than Clemson has over the last few years. 163 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:34,680 My overall point is that coaches in the league still think Clemson is among the most talented teams in the entire conference. 164 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,020 They are among the most talented teams. 165 00:14:37,180 --> 00:14:38,140 And they were last year. 166 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,800 And you'll see that in the NFL draft when they have a bunch of guys who are taken. 167 00:14:42,220 --> 00:14:47,860 The question is, can the coaching staff pull these guys all together, get them going in the same direction, 168 00:14:47,860 --> 00:14:52,420 so we can see that talent maximize to the best of their potential. 169 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:53,380 They can win more games. 170 00:14:54,220 --> 00:14:58,360 Yeah, I'm sitting here looking in, and now you and David Hale did a very good job. 171 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:06,220 And, again, Justin Haynes, who has migrated from Alabama to Michigan and all the way south again to Georgia Tech. 172 00:15:06,300 --> 00:15:11,060 That's going to be fascinating to see how he does with the rambling rack. 173 00:15:11,180 --> 00:15:12,380 Great stuff, my dear. 174 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:19,160 Hopefully we'll have a little more clarity to where college football is going in the weeks and months to come. 175 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:20,920 But keep up the great work. 176 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,820 Where can we get online and get all of the great preview articles? 177 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,080 Appreciate that, fellas, ESPN.com. 178 00:15:28,140 --> 00:15:30,600 Just click on the college football page. 179

00:15:44,760 So I'm looking forward to that and seeing some great basketball and some elite basketball, I should say. 182 00:15:44,900 --> 00:15:46,080 So it should be a fun time. 183 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,360 Make sure you say hello to the pride of the Tennessee Valley with Alabama. 184 00:15:50,540 --> 00:15:57,280 Carly Weathers, by the way, of all the smart people in the SEC, Carly named

it's brought to you by Conecuh Sausage, a true southern flavor since 1947 and the official smoked sausage of the Crimson Tide. 274 00:19:53,580 --> 00:19:55,580 Order online at ConecuhSausage.com. 275 00:19:56,380 --> 00:19:57,060 Hello again, everybody. 276 00:19:57,360 --> 00:19:58,100 I'm Roger Hoover. 277 00:19:58,540 --> 00:20:07,700 Here are thoughts from Crimson Tide legend and SEC Network basketball analyst Richard Hendricks ahead of Alabama's run at the 2026 SEC Women's Basketball Tournament. 278 00:20:07,860 --> 00:20:10,540 If you're Christy Curry, this has been a phenomenal season. 279 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:18,400 She's done a really good job of getting the most out of her squad and making sure that these girls are playing collected and together and motivated. 280 00:20:19,020 --> 00:20:20,760 Now you're getting to postseason play. 281 00:20:20,860 --> 00:20:27,840 It's time to reset and pull some of that positivity that you had from those big wins that you had early on in the season. 282 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:35,060 If Alabama can do that, then they can get into the tournament and get some wins and hopefully move forward. 283 00:20:35,060 --> 00:20:41,260 Now, the gauntlet of the SEC shows that they have a lower seating and they're going to be solidly in the NCAA tournament seat. 284 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:48,360 So it's not an easy task, but getting an opportunity to play an early game could create some momentum for Alabama in the SEC tournament. 285 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:49,540 I'll have more in a moment. 286 00:20:50,160 --> 00:21:00,220 Baby jeans, favorite shirt, I can make a sausage and I'm firing it up, yeah, everybody knows, it's how I get my grill on. 287 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:16,060 You can smell that flavor up and down the road,

fellow who certainly doesn't need a GPS to work his way around the shows. 298 00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,840 Most of the shows head football coach, Scott Bazin. 299 00:21:59,980 --> 00:22:01,160 Coach, welcome in. 300 00:22:01,260 --> 00:22:02,200 How are you? 301 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:03,880 Doing well. 302 00:22:03,980 --> 00:22:04,640 How are you doing? 303 00:22:05,060 --> 00:22:05,420 It's good. 304 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:06,880 Well, we're in a little bit of a shock. 305 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:12,280 Coach, you need to go and play poker because, not to advocate poker, but you've got the face. 306 00:22:12,380 --> 00:22:17,700 Man, when I saw the news, I said, nah, that's got to be one of those computer things. 307 00:22:17,700 --> 00:22:18,620 It can't be true. 308 00:22:18,620 --> 00:22:20,660 And I think a lot of folks did a double take. 309 00:22:21,060 --> 00:22:25,600 Obviously, Coach, at the end of an era at Muscle Shoals, tremendous record. 310 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:34,540 Where do you start in summing up your decision recently, what, over the last few days to retire as the head football coach at Muscle Shoals? 311 00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:39,000 Well, you know, obviously, it's not been a knee-jerk decision. 312 00:22:39,180 --> 00:22:45,720 I've been praying about it, you know, for five years and just felt at peace with it. 313 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:53,380 And, you know, I always try to let God lead me what needs to be the next chapter. 314 00:22:53,760 --> 00:23:00,500 And it was a lot of prayers and answered prayers, you know. 315 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,280 Really, it's just all in his time. 316 00:23:03,460 --> 00:23:14,020 And I can't thank, you know, his community and, you know, our coaches and our players enough for all that they've given. 317 00:23:14,020 --> 00:23:17,200 And, you know, been blessed. 318 00:23:17,420 --> 00:23:25,580 I mean, you know, obviously, you know, good Lord has truly blessed me in my career. 319 00:23:25,940 --> 00:23:32,780 And, you know, but at the end of the day, it's about the relationships, the men you work with and the kids you impacted. 320 00:23:33,060 --> 00:23:37,020 And I don't mean this ugly, but at the end of the day, you're a press release. 321 00:23:37,260 --> 00:23:39,440 And that's what you'll be. 322 00:23:40,780 --> 00:23:46,780 Scott, your record at Muscle Shoals in 18 years was obviously sparkling. 323 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:48,540 170-50. 324 00:23:49,540 --> 00:23:53,220 Overall, in 26 years, 238-79. 325 00:23:53,660 --> 00:23:59,740 Won a state championship that I remember well at Cordova in 2007. 326 00:24:00,740 --> 00:24:09,740 And we could go on and on about 28 playoff wins, 17 postseason appearances, which is incredible. 327 00:24:09,740 --> 00:24:24,120 But what impact you have on young men developing boys and kids into young men does not make the headlines. 328 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:32,060 But I know that's very important to you, and you can't measure that in a lot of clarity. 329 00:24:32,300 --> 00:24:39,340 But I know you're proud of the accomplishments, the wins, the championships, et cetera. 330 00:24:39,340 --> 00:24:49,220 But talk about molding and helping young men or boys turn into young men and also working with assisted coaches. 331 00:24:50,140 --> 00:24:53,240 You know, and I appreciate you saying all that. 332 00:24:53,380 --> 00:24:58,880 But it really goes back to my first year as a head coach at Parrish. 333 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:08,640 And like I said, you know, I think in the three programs we've ran, boy, missed the playoffs twice in 27 years. 334 00:25:08,940 --> 00:25:10,160 And, you know, that's great. 335 00:25:10,300 --> 00:25:18,700 But the one that stands out, my first head coaching job at Parrish, we had a young man by the name of Martez Williams. 336 00:25:18,900 --> 00:25:22,500 And we just got beat in the playoffs. 337 00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:31,940 And at that time my wife was still living in Florence, and Martez was tragically killed in a car wreck after that game that night. 338 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:32,720 Wow. 339 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:41,900 And, you know, obviously that does something different to you, and I hope nobody ever has to experience that, and I'm sure a lot have. 340 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:51,080 But right then, you know, and I've always known that God called me to be a coach at that season in my life. 341 00:25:51,880 --> 00:26:00,140 And right then, but I got convicted, did I talk to him enough about God? 342 00:26:00,460 --> 00:26:03,780 And did I talk about him in Savior Jesus Christ? 343 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,160 And I didn't like my answer. 344 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:14,180 And so for the next 26 years of my career, it's always been something we've always done on Wednesdays. 345 00:26:14,220 --> 00:26:19,500 You know, I'm not saying this to promote what we do, because I've always kept it in-house. 346 00:26:19,620 --> 00:26:21,100 And, you know, you've never known this. 347 00:26:21,340 --> 00:26:29,100 But, you know, every Wednesday, and I've been blessed in a public school setting that, you know, everybody I've worked for has left me alone. 348 00:26:30,120 --> 00:26:38,880 But we have church for 20 minutes every Wednesday around the season, and we have small groups. 349 00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:46,500 And because, you know, I've told this story a million times, Wednesdays were always my game day. 350 00:26:46,740 --> 00:26:48,140 It wasn't Friday nights. 351 00:26:48,140 --> 00:26:52,540 And Friday nights, obviously, you know, the record speaks for itself. 352 00:26:52,660 --> 00:26:54,340 I was immensely blessed. 353 00:26:55,260 --> 00:26:58,300 But the Wednesdays were the most important thing. 354 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:03,120 And, you know, and that's one thing I asked Coach Dart, you know, he can't be me. 355 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:04,180 He's got to be him. 356 00:27:04,300 --> 00:27:08,580 The only thing I asked him to do in leading this program, that he would continue that. 357 00:27:08,660 --> 00:27:10,460 And he assured me he would. 358 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:14,080 And I told him, I said, if you'll do that, then God will handle the rest. 359 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:19,040 And, obviously, just old dumb country boy, won a lot of football games. 360 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:24,880 But I hope that I made an impact for God more than I made for football. 361 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:27,320 Coach, I appreciate it. 362 00:27:27,360 --> 00:27:28,620 I know, Brett, does share that story. 363 00:27:28,740 --> 00:27:30,760 Never apologize for your faith. 364 00:27:30,900 --> 00:27:33,820 I mean, if he does, he gives you an opportunity to explain why you feel that way. 365 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:35,460 So I know you probably feel the same way. 366 00:27:35,580 --> 00:27:38,400 But I appreciate you sharing that story about kids. 367 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:42,820 Because I remember when my dad was undergoing cancer treatment, I had to go to the local clinic. 368 00:27:42,820 --> 00:27:44,500 And I just happened to be in the waiting room. 369 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,800 And my old fourth-grade teacher was in there, just a happenstance. 370 00:27:47,980 --> 00:27:51,480 And I went up to her and told her how much I appreciate and what she meant and everything. 371 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:56,440 I couldn't have given her a prize, a tangible prize that would lit up her eyes more than that. 372 00:27:56,580 --> 00:28:00,560 And I know over the years, you've been in it long enough now, you've had kids to come through. 373 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,200 And now they've got kids. 374 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,060 And I would imagine at some point you crossed paths. 375 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:11,200 Talk to us about what that means, just being able to see now young men who were young back in the day. 376 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,840 Now they've got young men as parents of those kids. 377 00:28:14,660 --> 00:28:19,120 Well, you know, that is exactly right. 378 00:28:19,660 --> 00:28:31,700 And, you know, you do things throughout the course of your career that you hope that you're doing the right thing on teaching them. 379 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:37,500 And I can't tell you the past week how many texts. 380 00:28:37,500 --> 00:28:47,260 I've had to cut my phones off about just how that Wednesday impacted them more than what they ever learned on a football field. 381 00:28:47,380 --> 00:28:48,000 And you know what? 382 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:53,360 That, just like you said, that's what everything's about. 383 00:28:53,500 --> 00:28:59,180 And, you know, I wanted to write a book about it and leave it to my coaches and my kids. 384 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:07,100 And, you know, obviously I'm not a writer and I've learned that through this editing process because you have to pay somebody to do that. 385 00:29:07,100 --> 00:29:13,820 But, you know, I'm hoping to finish that book before I finally leave here in May. 386 00:29:13,980 --> 00:29:24,960 And it's titled Wednesdays because I really think that that is the most, when people talk about Scott Bateson, I don't want them to talk about the record. 387 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,800 I want them to talk about how I impacted kids. 388 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:29,200 Right. 389 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:31,440 Absolutely. 390 00:29:32,140 --> 00:29:36,700 Listen, before we let you go, you mentioned Michael Darden taking over as head coach. 391 00:29:36,700 --> 00:29:41,620 Most of the shows, offensive coordinator, I know, at Oxford and ARAB. 392 00:29:41,620 --> 00:29:44,920 He's been with you, I believe, for at least five seasons. 393 00:29:45,500 --> 00:29:47,320 Scott, tell us a little bit more about him. 394 00:29:48,420 --> 00:29:52,840 You know, Michael played at Albert Wolf for Coach John Gross. 395 00:29:52,980 --> 00:29:55,220 His daddy was a longtime coach there. 396 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,840 Michael was a quarterback. 397 00:29:58,300 --> 00:30:01,320 You know, he's a lot prettier guy than I am. 398 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,940 You know, a sole offensive lineman, not really pretty. 399 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:10,160 But the face of the program will look a lot better with Michael because he's real pretty. 400 00:30:10,260 --> 00:30:11,200 He's got all of his hair. 401 00:30:11,300 --> 00:30:16,140 And I'll tell you about five years from now, he'll be bald like me and it'll be great. 402 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:26,680 And just couldn't have asked for a bigger blessing than him and his family to come into my life five years ago. 403 00:30:26,860 --> 00:30:30,900 And I know all our coaches are staying. 404 00:30:31,340 --> 00:30:36,160 You know, obviously, they believe in him and our kids believe in him. 405 00:30:36,420 --> 00:30:39,700 And, man, he's just going to do a fantastic job. 406 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:43,940 And, you know, I'm going to be behind the scenes and support him in every way I can. 407 00:30:43,940 --> 00:30:49,140 But, hey, the program will be a lot prettier with him, Lee, than I can assure you. 408 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,920 Well, listen, we sincerely appreciate your honesty. 409 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,680 And Harold and I are both Christians. 410 00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,380 And I appreciate your testimony with that. 411 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,760 We have enjoyed the conversations for years. 412 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,060 As you mentioned, the wins are great. 413 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:12,040 But the impact you've had on these young men, a lot of cheerleaders, a lot of women, a lot of parents in the program, 414 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:16,960 the assistant coaches, Coach Gay comes to my mind at Huntsville right now. 415 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,940 Congratulations, number one, on the success on the field. 416 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,280 But more importantly, the success off the field. 417 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:28,740 Hopefully, you'll let us call you from time to time to see how you're doing. 418 00:31:28,860 --> 00:31:34,520 But, listen, have a, again, congratulations on everything you've accomplished there. 419 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:36,840 And hopefully we can do this again with you soon. 420 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:38,040 Absolutely. 421 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,060 Love you guys to death and appreciate you. 422 00:31:41,460 --> 00:31:43,740 And having me on, just like always. 423 00:31:44,060 --> 00:31:46,760 And, yeah, I'll still be involved. 424 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,900 And I can assure you my next chapter is going to be involved in Wednesdays, too. 425 00:31:51,060 --> 00:31:53,980 So, anytime, wish y'all the best of luck. 426 00:31:54,020 --> 00:31:54,840 And God bless you. 427 00:31:55,580 --> 00:31:56,840 Can't wait to see your book, Coach. 428 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:57,780 I echo those sentiments. 429 00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:58,640 Thanks so much. 430 00:31:58,820 --> 00:32:01,120 Maybe dust off the golf clubs and the fishing rod, okay? 431

00:36:10,220 The Lions went 4-14 in the A-Sun this season. 515 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:14,140 The winner will play Lipscomb on Friday in the quarterfinals. 516 00:36:14,420 --> 00:36:18,780 Catch Alabama women's basketball against Missouri in the SEC Tournament tonight right here. 517 00:36:18,900 --> 00:36:20,000 Tip-off at 7-30. 518 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:24,440 Bundle auto and home, renters or condo, and save with Progressive. 519 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:30,020 I'm John Thayer with the Sports Flash presented by Progressive on 93-9, the score. 520 00:36:36,500 --> 00:36:40,020 I checked Allstate first and saved hundreds on my car insurance. 521 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:41,180 Really smart. 522 00:36:42,020 --> 00:36:45,680 Unfortunately, I didn't check if I took the gas hose out of my car's tank. 523 00:36:46,020 --> 00:36:47,220 Ooh, not smart. 524 00:36:48,820 --> 00:36:51,960 And I drove off while still attached to pump number three. 525 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:54,780 Yeah, checking first is smart. 526 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,280 So check Allstate first for a quote that could save you hundreds. 527 00:36:59,740 --> 00:37:00,700 Potential savings vary. 528 00:37:00,820 --> 00:37:02,060 Subject to terms, conditions, and availability. 529 00:37:02,260 --> 00:37:03,840 Allstate North American Insurance Company and affiliates. 530 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:04,420 Northbrook, Illinois. 531 00:37:04,740 --> 00:37:07,220 A KFC tale in the pursuit of flavor. 532 00:37:07,660 --> 00:37:12,760 The greatest insult the colonel ever suffered was being served a wrap that was just a snack by a friend. 533 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:18,500 So he took two crispy tenders, lettuce, tomatoes, and pepper mayo, and wrapped them in a soft tortilla. 534 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:19,760 It wasn't a snack. 535 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:20,640 It was a meal. 536 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,840 He called it a twister and never called that friend again. 537 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,520 The colonel lived, so we could chicken. 538 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:27,420 The Twister. 539 00:37:27,700 --> 00:37:29,980 Now back at KFC, classic or with bacon. 540 00:37:30,260 --> 00:37:31,280 Also try it spicy. 541 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:32,820 It's finger licking good. 542 00:37:33,060 --> 00:37:34,400 Prices and participation may vary. 543 00:37:35,220 --> 00:37:36,180 The Score. 544 00:37:36,620 --> 00:37:41,400 Now, back with Boomo Bugg on 93.9 The Score. 545 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:42,160 The Score. 546 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:42,740 Welcome back in. 547 00:37:42,780 --> 00:37:43,280 What do you say? 548 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:44,480 We head on down to Tide Town. 549 00:37:44,580 --> 00:37:48,140 Check in with a man who's got it all covered there at tighterinsider.com. 550 00:37:48,140 --> 00:37:50,100 The founder and editor of T.I. 551 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:51,780 Rodney, you're in the huddle with us. 552 00:37:51,860 --> 00:37:52,600 Rodney, welcome in. 553 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:53,140 How are you? 554 00:37:53,700 --> 00:37:54,480 Hey, guys. 555 00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:55,440 How's it going today? 556 00:37:55,620 --> 00:37:55,980 Hey, Ben. 557 00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,280 Well, we're sitting here looking at March Madness. 558 00:37:59,380 --> 00:38:04,320 Not exactly the way Alabama wanted to get the ball rolling with their trip to Georgia. 559 00:38:04,460 --> 00:38:05,860 They suffer a big dog bite. 560 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:07,620 I guess it's all how you look at it. 561 00:38:08,020 --> 00:38:09,120 Basketball is one of those deals. 562 00:38:09,240 --> 00:38:09,780 It's a marathon. 563 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:10,760 You're going to have some wins. 564 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:11,480 You're going to have some losses. 565 00:38:11,620 --> 00:38:14,900 They win eight straight since that debacle against Florida. 566 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,000 And then last night running into a buzzsaw. 567 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,020 It was kind of the perfect storm, was it not, Rodney, in some ways. 568 00:38:20,620 --> 00:38:22,300 Here's a team that's been good. 569 00:38:22,980 --> 00:38:25,220 Georgia's playing for the life to get into the tournament. 570 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,980 Alabama trying to leverage some seed money there, if you will. 571 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,060 But Georgia said, you know what? 572 00:38:30,100 --> 00:38:33,480 If we can win this ball game, we're going to like selection Sunday a lot better. 573 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:34,760 And we have the home cooking. 574 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:35,640 Rodney, your thoughts. 575 00:38:35,720 --> 00:38:40,500 How do you analyze Alabama's loss by 10 to Georgia last night? 576 00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:45,120 Yeah, you know, again, Georgia's a good team. 577 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,240 I mean, obviously, they can score a lot of points. 578 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,380 And like you said, Alabama had won eight in a row. 579 00:38:50,700 --> 00:38:56,740 They had, look, I really think, and this is certainly not an excuse, all the things you said are true. 580 00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:06,640 You know, and I do think, you know, when you're talking about, you know, going on the road in the SEC, it's really tough, especially when you fall behind. 581 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:10,140 And again, Alabama's done that, you know, multiple times on the road. 582 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,100 They've done it, of course, here at home as well. 583 00:39:12,460 --> 00:39:15,740 But they've had dramatic comebacks last night. 584 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:16,640 They just couldn't do it. 585 00:39:16,720 --> 00:39:19,080 You almost wonder, are they a little bit out of gas? 586 00:39:20,100 --> 00:39:25,440 Because it is a tough, emotional kind of comeback from Saturday's win over Tennessee. 587 00:39:25,860 --> 00:39:32,780 But I think if you're Alabama right now, you know, certainly the first thing you want to do is take care of Auburn. 588 00:39:32,940 --> 00:39:33,780 You beat them there. 589 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:38,680 You'd love to finish with the sweet, obviously, in this game. 590 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:44,540 But, you know, I would say this, if you're Alabama right now, you still have to feel really good about where you are. 591 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,280 I think this team has come together really well. 592 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,040 The pieces have come together. 593 00:39:49,140 --> 00:39:50,260 A lot of guys have developed. 594 00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,520 You know, Harold, Brett, how far can this team go? 595 00:39:54,660 --> 00:39:56,460 I mean, obviously, they have some limitations. 596 00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,520 But still, you just never know. 597 00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:04,100 If they get hot the way they can shoot the ball, they can get on a pretty good run. 598 00:40:05,180 --> 00:40:09,800 Yeah, Georgia had a kid by the name of Catchings who was averaging 10 points a game. 599 00:40:09,900 --> 00:40:13,880 He ends up getting 32, seven threes. 600 00:40:14,140 --> 00:40:16,220 And, in fact, Georgia hit six threes. 601 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:24,120 Every time Alabama made a run, Georgia would go down and throw up a three, a lot of times with a hand in the face. 602 00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:25,200 But, Rodney, you're right. 603 00:40:25,300 --> 00:40:34,440 If they can defend and rebound and match the physicality, which is the subject of our next conversation, 604 00:40:35,140 --> 00:40:39,940 Alabama can go to the Sweet 16 and, I think, even the Elite Eight. 605 00:40:40,500 --> 00:40:49,240 And speaking of matching physicality, Alabama about to begin another spring on the practice field starting Monday. 606 00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:55,120 And you had an article on Tyner and Sander about what Kalen DeBoer needs to fix in. 607 00:40:55,820 --> 00:41:03,680 26, and, again, we'll get a little bit better idea about what the roster is at the end of the eight-day game, et cetera. 608 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:08,200 But you mentioned consistency, and you've mentioned this two or three times. 609 00:41:09,060 --> 00:41:12,300 And, Rodney, again, it's like 20-25. 610 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,600 I mean, 2024, you beat Georgia. 611 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:17,360 Next week, you lose to Vandy. 612 00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,740 You run LSU at a Tiger Stadium. 613 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,820 The next week, you don't even show up at Oklahoma. 614 00:41:23,540 --> 00:41:32,600 And you've got weeks like that all over the place, particularly in November when this team seems to have a swoon. 615 00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:39,860 But you mentioned it, show up every week with effort, discipline, toughness for 60 minutes. 616 00:41:40,540 --> 00:41:44,520 And you do that, I guarantee you, you're going to win a lot more games than you lose. 617 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:45,920 Correct. 618 00:41:46,220 --> 00:41:52,660 And, you know, like I said, too, let the chips fall where they may, you know, if you show up every single week like that. 619 00:41:53,020 --> 00:41:54,240 And, again, I understand it. 620 00:41:54,380 --> 00:41:59,220 It's not, you know, you listen to people now, and they start saying, well, that's impossible. 621 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,020 You know, nobody does that. 622 00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:02,580 Well, I just don't believe that. 623 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:11,700 I mean, I think that, you know, like you said, the wild swings and performances have been pretty dramatic. 624 00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:19,000 And if they could find some consistency there, you know, there could be some improvement, obviously. 625 00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:23,860 But, you know, I think a lot of it, Harold and Brett, frankly, goes back to mental and physical toughness. 626 00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:31,200 And, you know, I think we've seen this team, and I think we've seen some really good things from Cale and DeBoer's teams. 627 00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:32,160 Don't get me wrong. 628 00:42:32,660 --> 00:42:39,720 But I'm talking about if you kind of want to take the next step and get – it's not going to be Saban. 629 00:42:39,820 --> 00:42:40,660 We understand that. 630 00:42:40,700 --> 00:42:47,740 But if you want to get back in that elite tier, which I think Alabama slipped a little bit, even though they did take a step. 631 00:42:47,820 --> 00:42:52,520 They went to the playoffs, and they, you know, obviously played for the SEC championship game. 632 00:42:52,660 --> 00:42:57,460 But I don't think you can lose games by two, three, five touchdowns like they did. 633 00:42:58,320 --> 00:42:59,540 That's not Alabama football. 634 00:42:59,700 --> 00:43:01,500 I think they've got to get physically tougher. 635 00:43:01,700 --> 00:43:07,020 I think they've got to be able to establish a running game that's an SEC-level running game, 636 00:43:07,020 --> 00:43:10,640 not like 126 in the country or whatever it was. 637 00:43:11,940 --> 00:43:13,960 They've got to get a lot better in those areas. 638 00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:20,340 And I think DeBoer's made some changes in terms of he's now brought in Adrian Clem as the offensive line coach, 639 00:43:20,420 --> 00:43:21,620 as we've discussed before. 640 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:25,460 They've brought in a lot of new offensive linemen out of the portal. 641 00:43:25,980 --> 00:43:28,500 So it's a really big spring, I think, in developing that. 642 00:43:28,540 --> 00:43:30,640 And I think you look at the defensive line as well. 643 00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:35,700 You know, I think they've got to be able to stop the run on a more consistent basis. 644 00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:38,760 I think they really got eaten alive. 645 00:43:38,860 --> 00:43:39,720 They got torn up. 646 00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,340 They got their rears busted against Indiana. 647 00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,340 You know, that Indiana offensive line just dominated up front. 648 00:43:45,860 --> 00:43:48,560 So I think all of those things are really important. 649 00:43:48,860 --> 00:43:52,180 And you've lost your three starters, you know, on the defensive line. 650 00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,480 So you're replacing those with portal guys. 651 00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:56,960 So I think those question marks this spring, 652 00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:00,320 you'll start kind of laying the foundation for the fall at the line of scrimmage. 653 00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:05,200 Rodney, you're in addition to being there at Titer Insider's books called Bigger Than Bama. 654 00:44:05,460 --> 00:44:06,940 You answered the question there, Rodney. 655 00:44:07,020 --> 00:44:09,440 I think the boards finally realized this is the SEC. 656 00:44:09,700 --> 00:44:11,020 Not only that, it's Alabama. 657 00:44:11,540 --> 00:44:13,240 Take no prisoners from the fan base. 658 00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:17,060 It's not the West Coast where you get a latte and a cappuccino with extra whipped cream. 659 00:44:17,500 --> 00:44:19,400 That ain't going to work down in this part of the country. 660 00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,120 But you mentioned toughness. 661 00:44:21,220 --> 00:44:27,520 And I think a lot of Alabama fans were just in a state of shock when they saw some of that over the last two seasons. 662 00:44:27,700 --> 00:44:32,740 The other element, as far as addressing, and I think he has, at least on paper right now, 663 00:44:32,780 --> 00:44:35,240 has a more promising answer to some of those questions. 664 00:44:35,420 --> 00:44:37,400 Where is the strength and conditioning program? 665 00:44:37,780 --> 00:44:43,000 Because under Nick, that was one thing that he put a lot of emphasis on, especially in months like March. 666 00:44:44,140 --> 00:44:47,020 What's the state of the strength and conditioning program? 667 00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:53,120 You know, Harold and Brett, that's really a good question that I wish I could answer. 668 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:58,480 I mean, I know, obviously, Nick Saban did an extensive search after Scott Cochran left. 669 00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,260 And he hired David Ballou and Dr. Matt Ray. 670 00:45:01,260 --> 00:45:05,480 And Dr. Ray went on to, you know, he was more of the scientific guy. 671 00:45:05,720 --> 00:45:08,920 He went on now to the NFL, and I assume he's still there. 672 00:45:09,020 --> 00:45:10,720 And, of course, David Ballou is still here. 673 00:45:12,260 --> 00:45:18,540 You know, I really have a hard time believing that David Ballou doesn't have a good plan. 674 00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:25,320 The question is, you know, how effective is it right now? 675 00:45:25,980 --> 00:45:26,860 I don't know. 676 00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:28,280 I just don't know. 677 00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:33,700 I know that people look at some of the combined numbers, and they say, well, take Tim Keenan, for example. 678 00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:41,400 How's this guy at 320 pounds, and you've got a wide receiver or a running back doing almost as many reps at 225? 679 00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:46,080 You know, and strength varies with guys, and I think strength's really important. 680 00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:56,460 But, you know, again, it's not everything in terms of, you know, some guys just are limited in certain lifts or whatever it might be. 681 00:45:56,680 --> 00:46:00,400 And, you know, who knows, Tim Keenan may squat 1,000 pounds. 682 00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,880 Probably does squat a lot of weight because he's built to squat, actually. 683 00:46:04,620 --> 00:46:11,560 So there's a lot of things in terms of the strength that I think if you just see an isolated number here or there can be misleading. 684 00:46:12,180 --> 00:46:16,580 But, again, listen, I'm just telling you what I see. 685 00:46:17,420 --> 00:46:21,500 And I'm more concerned about the mentality of the team. 686 00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:31,300 I'm more concerned about when you talk to people, frankly, you know, that's been in coaching for a while, and what do you really think? 687 00:46:31,780 --> 00:46:35,320 And, you know, the word you hear is they're a finesse football team. 688 00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:36,960 They're soft. 689 00:46:38,240 --> 00:46:39,960 Now, again, I'm not saying that. 690 00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:50,020 I'm saying this is kind of the perception you get by watching them at times, and then when you talk to people that you know have been around it, they've coached it, they've coached on this level. 691 00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,200 And that's the perception, that's what they sense. 692 00:46:53,340 --> 00:46:54,320 That's what they see. 693 00:46:54,980 --> 00:47:06,980 And I look at them against, you know, in some of these games, Harold and Brett, and, frankly, in the Georgia game, in the SEC championship game, it was almost like they didn't even come to play, come to win. 694 00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:12,400 And then in the Indiana game, when things got a little tough, they quit. 695 00:47:12,900 --> 00:47:20,460 But at the same time, then you look at them in that Oklahoma game in the playoff when they're down 17, and they make an incredible rally. 696 00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:28,800 And that's just kind of what we're talking about, these wild swings of, you know, how they respond one week and how they respond the next week. 697 00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,820 So, I mean, I think you've got to be able to find some balance there. 698 00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:47,660 Rodney, you've got the Dandy Dozen spring watch list, and it reminds me a little bit of the Firecracker 5, which Brett Beaird eagerly looks forward to every 4th of July, as I've told you frequently over the years. 699 00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:57,440 The top six, and I don't know if this is a coincidence or not, young man, but the top six on this list are linemen. 700 00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:00,680 Knowing Rodney Orr, I doubt if it's a coincidence. 701 00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:19,980 Grayson Delgotti, Jamin James, the Mississippi State transfer, who I like on what I've seen on film, Nick Brooks, Strayhorn, Terrence Green, the Oregon transfer, I think who can have a big year, Kendrick Bingley-Jones, and then Tompkins. 702 00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:25,580 Talk about some of the newcomers that we'll get a chance to see during the spring. 703 00:48:26,540 --> 00:48:42,600 Well, I think it's going to determine where Alabama goes this year, you know, maybe in the future, immediate future as a program, because, I mean, if you can't win the line of scrimmage in the SEC, you're going to lose some games. 704 00:48:43,460 --> 00:48:44,920 And you know how that's going to go. 705 00:48:46,300 --> 00:48:56,580 So, I mean, I think, Harold and Brett, you could have four guys, potentially, you could have four new guys on the offensive line that weren't part of the program last year. 706 00:48:57,540 --> 00:49:05,800 And then on the defensive line, you're probably going to have at least two starters that weren't part of the program, two of the front three, I would think. 707 00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:13,720 Certainly, you're going to have three or four guys up front that are new guys that are going to make contributions, strong contributions. 708 00:49:13,940 --> 00:49:17,840 So, I think the line of scrimmage on both sides is really important. 709 00:49:18,140 --> 00:49:21,180 You mentioned some of those guys on the offensive line. 710 00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:30,560 I think, you know, defensively, obviously, you've got Terrence Green and Kedrick Bingley-Jones and Devin Tompkins and Dez U, as I call him. 711 00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:32,780 You can go ahead and pronounce it, Brett. 712 00:49:32,860 --> 00:49:33,280 I know you've got it down. 713 00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:34,180 That's okay, Ron. 714 00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:34,480 You do. 715 00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:39,340 But, you know, again, the transfer from South Carolina. 716 00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:44,340 But I do think that the trenches is where it's at. 717 00:49:44,580 --> 00:49:51,920 I mean, they've got to get better play in the trenches or, you know, it'll be tough. 718 00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:53,720 Absolutely. 719 00:49:54,140 --> 00:49:57,480 Well, it is always fun to talk to Rod DeOre. 720 00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:01,600 Spring practice beginning on Monday. 721 00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:08,440 You will have the absolute latest and, I'm sure, a couple of speculation articles about what this team can do. 722 00:50:08,840

--> 00:50:45,440 Not a lot of chatter. 736 00:50:46,020 --> 00:50:48,640 We've had some about spring practice. 737 00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:52,520 But right now, everybody's focused on basketball, it

00:55:28,760 Iran has stopped the passage of oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz in response to the airstrikes coming from the U.S. and Israel. 819 00:55:29,100 --> 00:55:34,920 Prices have gone up on regular unleaded gasoline as much as 15 to 20 cents per gallon in just the past few days. 820 00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:45,160 The president of the Petroleum and Convenience Marketers of Alabama, Bart Fletcher, says that he would not be surprised if there's an increase on gasoline prices as much as 35 to 40 cents per gallon. 821 00:55:45,540 --> 00:55:47,740 This increase also includes diesel fuel. 822 00:55:47,740 --> 00:55:53,820 Fletcher says there's still plenty of fuel in the system and so far no major disruption to the supply lines. 823 00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:56,900 I'll be back with more Alabama stories after this. 824 00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,800 Where I was living was not a great place to live anymore. 825 00:56:00,140 --> 00:56:04,800 I began to pray for a place to go, praying for all of these things that a nine-year-old would want. 826 00:56:04,980 --> 00:56:08,480 I wanted horses, big house with a bunch of people my age. 827 00:56:08,620 --> 00:56:09,400 I wanted parents. 828 00:56:09,500 --> 00:56:10,520 I wanted a mom and a dad. 829 00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:14,640 Before I even prayed it, the Lord had already answered my prayer with the Big Oak Ranch. 830 00:56:14,820 --> 00:56:17,880 Who would that nine-year-old be if she never came to the Big Oak Ranch? 831 00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:22,860 I would be trying to fight for survival instead of fighting to

Bugg, alongside Brett Beaird. 884 00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:23,920 Thank you so much for giving us free ride around the Tennessee Valley and BB. 885 00:59:24,140 --> 00:59:29,440 If you are a college basketball fan, it's easy to say this is the best time of the year. 886 00:59:29,780 --> 00:59:34,780 March Madness breaking out everywhere, including for the UNA men's basketball team. 887 00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:36,420 The women, we're going to get to that in a second. 888 00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:50,520 When I taught last night with Coach Pujo, he said, listen, I know I'm busy tomorrow, but I can still come on right at the top of the hour because I have a little bit of a date at the bottom of the hour at the ASON tournament against Florida Gulf Coast. 889 00:59:51,020 --> 00:59:58,720 Obviously, it's a lot of situations, so he's a little busy right now, so as soon as he can break away, Coach Tony Pujo, which kind of says a lot about Coach. 890 00:59:59,500 --> 01:00:03,080 He's one of those guys, a lot of coaches would never agree to that. 891 01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:12,400 He is one of the guys who will because he understands the importance of getting the word out about his team and all the best of the UNA men's basketball team down in Jacksonville, Florida. 892 01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:13,920 Is your brother going to go to that game, BB? 893 01:00:14,380 --> 01:00:18,100 He told me he may actually make an appearance there this week. 894 01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:24,080 He couldn't go this week, but Florida Gulf Coast has won four out of their last six games. 895 01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:29,420 In fact, they beat the conference champion, the ASON Central Arkansas. 896 01:00:30,340 --> 01:00:34,640 They've got the defensive player of the year, which I'm sure Tony knows, Isaiah Malone. 897 01:00:35,300 --> 01:00:38,300 They've got an all-freshman selection, Jordan Ellaby. 898 01:00:38,620 --> 01:00:50,220 In fact, they're the fifth seed in the ASON tournament, so Florida Gulf Coast is going to be a challenge, but I hope Tony packed a lot of clothes, and they're there for about four days. 899 01:00:50,560 --> 01:01:00,600 And the thing is, obviously, Tony is the first to tell you, one thing he will not do is dodge tough questions and dodge the importance of this season compared to last. 900 01:01:01,020 --> 01:01:08,580 I mean, last year, it illustrates when everything comes together, you've got good coaching, you've got good players, and you get the breaks. 901 01:01:08,580 --> 01:01:15,020 Last year, just, I mean, a hiccup away from making the dance, if you will, before losing on the road up at Lipscomb. 902 01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:22,400 This year, obviously, not the same as last year, but the thing is, it's one of those situations in the modern era. 903 01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:26,620 Would you agree, with a handful of exceptions, you're going to get situations like this? 904 01:01:26,620 --> 01:01:38,600 Because every year, with the portal being what it is, you can't sit here and say, well, we finally got it rocking, because, let's face it, once you get it rocking, teams elsewhere are going to see, maybe that player can play for us. 905 01:01:38,900 --> 01:01:40,180 Let's go see what we can do. 906 01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:41,720 So, it's a different era. 907 01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:47,880 I know old-school fans say, well, you did it last year, why can't you do it this year, if it's only that simple, BB? 908 01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:49,620 Well, it's not easy. 909 01:01:49,780 --> 01:01:55,040 In fact, this year, Harold, the biggest problem that Tony's had is being a short bench. 910 01:01:55,220 --> 01:01:56,980 They've had injured players now. 911 01:01:57,700 --> 01:02:05,280 Darkon King came back for the first time in a month, and I think scored five to seven points in the last game. 912 01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:14,460 But, Tony, I know, mentioned to us last week that he thought they might be healthier going into the A-Sun tournament than they've been in quite a while. 913 01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:21,060 And Tony's got some of the same problem, and a lot of people don't mention this, with Nate Oates. 914 01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:31,840 Nate Oates' transfers have not exactly been incredible as far as their play, and he's had a short bench himself. 915 01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:37,540 So, that's one of the things that, hopefully, that will help them a little bit more. 916 01:02:37,660 --> 01:02:44,860 He's still trying to develop some players, but, Harold, one of the reasons, quite simply, is I think some of it has been turnovers, 917 01:02:44,860 --> 01:02:47,000 but a lot of it has been health for you, Nate. 918 01:02:47,060 --> 01:02:49,180 They just haven't been healthy the last month. 919 01:02:49,180 --> 01:02:54,620 I think the last time we had Tony on, I think he said he had seven scholarship players who could handle the bill. 920 01:02:54,900 --> 01:03:00,380 And, you know, the thing about that, a savvy coach on the other side, if he has anything at all, 921 01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:05,480 the simple strategy there is you try to figure out who are the key guys, anybody for that matter, 922 01:03:05,900 --> 01:03:09,160 but especially who are the key guys on that team with only seven guys. 923 01:03:09,260 --> 01:03:11,920 They call it a short bench, and the strategy is pretty simple. 924 01:03:12,020 --> 01:03:16,680 Try to get them in foul trouble early, and then you just basically, you got open borders, if you will. 925 01:03:16,900 --> 01:03:19,440 You can say what you do, what you want, the paint down low. 926 01:03:19,580 --> 01:03:23,720 So, when you're only playing with seven guys, and Tony, to his credit, has never used that as an excuse. 927 01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:25,300 He just made it a fact. 928 01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:29,140 BB, obviously, we're going to be seeing what goes on with the men's A-Sun. 929 01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:34,900 As we mentioned, it's going to be get rocking and rolling in about 25 minutes down in Jacksonville. 930 01:03:36,020 --> 01:03:42,780 The women, speaking of Jacksonville, not too bad themselves, they go down, and they've already gotten the ball rolling. 931 01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:49,580 The UNA women at the A-Sun, they knock off Queens by a bucket, 57-55, BB. 932 01:03:50,100 --> 01:03:53,740 Well, and Harold, you mentioned the score. 933 01:03:54,940 --> 01:04:01,640 You know, a lot of women's basketball may not be the fast break, up-tempo as the men, 934 01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:11,180 but when you get into conference tournaments, it's half court, it's defense, it's rebounding, it's intensity. 935 01:04:11,180 --> 01:04:19,400 That's what wins games, and it's thrilling to watch 117-115, as we did two weeks ago with Alabama and Arkansas. 936 01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:24,240 But when you're in the mid-50s in a tournament game, that's about right, 937 01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:29,180 because all of these games are a half-court defensive slugfest. 938 01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:33,580 The win by the UNA women stamps their ticket. 939 01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:35,520 They get the day off. 940 01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:40,340 They will now take on number three, Central Arkansas, coming up tomorrow night. 941 01:04:40,340 --> 01:04:46,760 That game is 6.30, our time, at the Vistar Veterans Memorial Arena, also down in Jacksonville. 942 01:04:47,180 --> 01:04:51,880 BB, while we're talking about March Madness, we're going to get to Alabama and Auburn here in a second. 943 01:04:52,420 --> 01:04:58,460 But hats off, we're so blessed to be able to talk with people who've been there and done that, 944 01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:04,120 and talking about a modest family, and you know where I'm going with this, with the David Weathers family. 945 01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:08,200 Carly, obviously, had all the choices in the world. 946 01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:10,300 She goes to Alabama. 947 01:05:10,740 --> 01:05:15,760 She is a Tennessee, her parents now live in Tennessee, but think about it. 948 01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:20,960 She grew up basically everywhere with home, because her dad was a major league baseball player for almost two decades. 949 01:05:21,060 --> 01:05:24,420 They settled back in the hometown of Loretto, and she goes to Alabama. 950 01:05:24,420 --> 01:05:27,440 But this kid is an inspiration, BB. 951 01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:35,840 Of all the honors that, as a parent, you want your kid to get, one of the things that has to be basically a cherry on top 952 01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:39,960 is the Scholar Athlete of the Year in the entire SEC. 953 01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:43,960 That's mind-boggling to think, how many smart kids are out there playing? 954 01:05:44,860 --> 01:05:50,360 And then Carly, and not only that, I mean, when we have David on, she is now doing clinicals. 955 01:05:50,420 --> 01:05:51,780 She's in nursing school. 956 01:05:51,900 --> 01:05:52,840 I can speak to this. 957 01:05:52,940 --> 01:05:54,280 My wife went through that, too. 958 01:05:54,820 --> 01:05:56,360 That's not an easy task. 959 01:05:56,900 --> 01:06:01,500 If you can do chemistry, and you come out, and you're the Scholar Athlete of the Year, 960 01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:06,960 and you can still handle a practice schedule, BB, Carly Weathers picking up, to me, 961 01:06:07,020 --> 01:06:12,380 one of the most prized honors you can get as a kid, because at some point, the playing days are over. 962 01:06:12,820 --> 01:06:18,800 But if you can sit here and show on your resume that you're a pretty smart person, that's not bad, BB. 963 01:06:19,040 --> 01:06:25,280 Well, David taught all the kids, along with his lovely wife, mental toughness. 964 01:06:25,620 --> 01:06:27,520 Nobody knows that more than David. 965 01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:33,900 And not only was she the Scholarship Athlete of the Year, but she's one of the members of Community Service, 966 01:06:34,140 --> 01:06:37,920 the SEC Community Service Team, in all the hours. 967 01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:40,440 Quite frankly, I don't know where she's got the time. 968 01:06:40,620 --> 01:06:47,460 She's got to be a time management genius to be able to juggle clinicals, schoolwork. 969 01:06:48,100 --> 01:06:49,880 She's very involved in the community. 970 01:06:50,060 --> 01:06:52,500 Oh, by the way, she plays SEC basketball. 971 01:06:52,620 --> 01:06:53,700 Yeah, a starter. 972 01:06:54,900 --> 01:06:56,260 She's a starter at that. 973 01:06:56,260 --> 01:07:03,680 And you can hear Carly and the Alabama women later on tonight as they take Amazoo at the SEC Women's Basketball Tournament 974 01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:05,600 up in Greenville, South Carolina. 975 01:07:05,700 --> 01:07:08,280 Let's talk a little bit about the men's basketball team, BB. 976 01:07:08,940 --> 01:07:10,640 I agree with Rodney Orr. 977 01:07:10,820 --> 01:07:15,240 Fans, this is, if you will, a paradigm for football. 978 01:07:15,420 --> 01:07:17,640 In other words, if you lose a ballgame, it's Armageddon. 979 01:07:18,180 --> 01:07:19,620 Basketball, you're going to lose ballgames. 980 01:07:19,700 --> 01:07:24,260 It's not to endorse it, but it's just living in the real world as opposed to living in Disney World. 981 01:07:24,260 --> 01:07:31,860 And last night, to me, was the perfect storm for Georgia and perhaps against Alabama, winning eight games in a row. 982 01:07:32,340 --> 01:07:35,320 Short week, back-to-back, an emotional game at Tennessee. 983 01:07:35,900 --> 01:07:39,440 You've got to come back, and the SEC alternates between Tuesdays and Wednesdays. 984 01:07:39,500 --> 01:07:41,100 Alabama drew the Tuesday this week. 985 01:07:41,620 --> 01:07:48,880 A short week, again on the road, and Georgia playing with their hairs on fire because they knew if they won that ballgame, 986 01:07:49,260 --> 01:07:51,540 there's a good chance they're going to be going to the dance. 987 01:07:51,620 --> 01:07:55,360 It would be a perfect storm last night for Georgia and a tough night for Alabama. 988 01:07:55,740 --> 01:07:59,340 I thought this was going to be a tramp game, Harold. 989 01:07:59,660 --> 01:08:04,360 If that game would have been played tonight, and one of the reasons that it's not, 990 01:08:04,420 --> 01:08:09,660 there's only one SEC basketball game, men's game tonight, Arkansas and Texas. 991 01:08:09,820 --> 01:08:15,220 I think that's because of the SEC women's tournament in Columbia, South Carolina. 992 01:08:15,220 --> 01:08:19,840 But Alabama's emotional gas tank, I thought, was empty last night. 993 01:08:20,480 --> 01:08:27,580 Again, they stayed with Georgia midway through the first half, and then Georgia, gradually, they kept hitting threes. 994 01:08:28,380 --> 01:08:32,040 Got out by Alabama, closed it to four. 995 01:08:32,220 --> 01:08:32,820 They hit. 996 01:08:33,300 --> 01:08:36,940 Catchings hit another three, basically at the buzzer. 997 01:08:37,660 --> 01:08:41,000 And then Georgia jumped down, I think, to a 12-point lead. 998 01:08:41,120 --> 01:08:49,140 Alabama came back two or three times, but every time they would, Catchings or somebody else would hit a contested three. 999 01:08:50,260 --> 01:08:59,240 But again, eight consecutive wins, which is amazing for any conference, much less the SEC. 1000 01:09:00,580 --> 01:09:02,860 The extra day, I think, will help. 1001 01:09:03,300 --> 01:09:06,120 Amari Allen is someone who's been missing in action. 1002 01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:09,300 He scored two points against Tennessee. 1003 01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:11,560 He scored three points last night. 1004 01:09:12,380 --> 01:09:20,680 And, Harold, if he has his usual double-double of 12, 14 points and nine rebounds, Alabama wins that game. 1005 01:09:21,220 --> 01:09:26,520 Now, we'll talk to Drew DeArmond about him at 135, and that's one of my first questions. 1006 01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:32,080 What has happened to a double-double machine in the last couple of games? 1007 01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:45,280 Now, again, Houston Millett played pretty well, but Alabama's got a short bench because a lot of the transfers have just, quite frankly, not developed for Nate Oates. 1008 01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:49,020 He's got three players injured for the entire year. 1009 01:09:49,140 --> 01:09:52,860 But Georgia made the plays when they had two, as you mentioned. 1010 01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:58,340 I don't know if desperate, but they really wanted to get a very good quad one win, which they did. 1011 01:09:58,460 --> 01:09:59,960 They're now safely in the tournament. 1012 01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:03,800 But I think mentally, Alabama would just wheel up last night. 1013 01:10:04,460 --> 01:10:06,160 So, what do you think it does to their seed? 1014 01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:12,080 Because, to reiterate, if you don't follow March Madness closely, it's, A, good to make the dance. 1015 01:10:12,340 --> 01:10:15,620 Alabama, they're going to make the dance. 1016 01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:17,980 The question is, where and when are they going to play? 1017 01:10:18,020 --> 01:10:19,160 In other words, what seed? 1018 01:10:19,740 --> 01:10:23,000 I know they were anticipating as high as a three seed. 1019 01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:27,000 The one thing you don't want is a four, and you certainly don't want the five. 1020 01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:31,120 And the reason that is, history just shows that's not kind to a five seed. 1021 01:10:31,240 --> 01:10:32,760 It can also be the same for a four seed. 1022 01:10:32,860 --> 01:10:38,100 What is, right now, we know, obviously, if they get hot, that's going to affect one thing. 1023 01:10:38,140 --> 01:10:43,020 But where are things right now relative to, in your gut, the seeding for the NCAA tournament? 1024 01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:47,920 According to Lenardi, Joel Lenardi, they're still on the four line. 1025 01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:54,480 Now, if they beat Auburn and win two games in the SEC tournament and were to lose another close game to Florida, 1026 01:10:55,040 --> 01:10:57,400 that might be able to jump them up to three. 1027 01:10:57,580 --> 01:11:02,060 But, again, you've got to see what happens with some of the other teams in the tournament. 1028 01:11:02,060 --> 01:11:08,640 But, no, if they take care of business Saturday on senior night and win a couple of games in the tournament, 1029 01:11:08,780 --> 01:11:14,640 now, if they end up playing right now at 6 o'clock on Friday night, 1030 01:11:15,180 --> 01:11:18,160 the Gators are on the other side of the bracket. 1031 01:11:18,340 --> 01:11:21,320 So, they would not face Florida until Sunday. 1032 01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:25,480 But, right now, they're safely on the four line. 1033 01:11:25,940 --> 01:11:28,060 I don't see them dropping to the five. 1034 01:11:28,060 --> 01:11:33,660 But, again, if they were to win, beat Auburn and win two games in the tournament, 1035 01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:35,640 they may jump up to the three. 1036 01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:40,720 But, I think right now, they're certainly safe at four. 1037 01:11:41,180 --> 01:11:43,620 Pretty good strength of schedule to factor in, too. 1038 01:11:43,780 --> 01:11:44,960 But, you mentioned Auburn. 1039 01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:50,820 How ironic is it that here we are for the final regular season game of the year, which is the Iron Bowl, 1040 01:11:51,500 --> 01:11:55,660 that coming in, Alabama will be on a losing streak, and Auburn will be on a winning streak. 1041 01:11:55,660 --> 01:11:58,740 Your thoughts about Auburn, everybody's had them written off. 1042 01:11:58,900 --> 01:12:01,820 But, as Lee Corso would say, maybe not so fast, my friend. 1043 01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:04,880 If they get hot, then their equity is going to start building, too. 1044 01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:06,900 Your thoughts just about the game Saturday. 1045 01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:12,380 First things first, Alabama and Auburn, with Auburn getting some wins last night themselves. 1046 01:12:12,940 --> 01:12:15,160 Well, Auburn had a much-needed win. 1047 01:12:15,260 --> 01:12:16,740 I saw some of the second half. 1048 01:12:16,820 --> 01:12:17,400 That's amazing. 1049 01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:19,820 That game tipped off at 9 o'clock at night. 1050 01:12:20,500 --> 01:12:22,020 Pettiford scored 27. 1051 01:12:22,160 --> 01:12:23,800 Overton scored 21. 1052 01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:28,020 Pettiford looked better than I'd seen him, quite frankly. 1053 01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:29,160 Harold in a month. 1054 01:12:29,660 --> 01:12:31,760 Keyshawn Hall added 17. 1055 01:12:31,940 --> 01:12:33,240 Freeman scored 10. 1056 01:12:34,300 --> 01:12:37,040 They played well at home, which they should have. 1057 01:12:37,820 --> 01:12:40,480 I think Alabama is the better team than Auburn. 1058 01:12:40,600 --> 01:12:44,500 Again, I would take winning 8 and 9 over losing 7 out of 8. 1059 01:12:44,740 --> 01:12:50,580 It was a big win for Auburn to at least get a better mind frame. 1060 01:12:50,740 --> 01:12:53,500 I think the game Saturday is certainly going to be competitive. 1061 01:12:54,380 --> 01:13:00,060 But it's going to be, can Alabama match Auburn's physicality in the paint? 1062 01:13:00,260 --> 01:13:01,620 And can they shoot the ball? 1063 01:13:02,100 --> 01:13:06,340 The extra day of rest, I think, is going to help both teams, but in particularly Alabama. 1064 01:13:07,060 --> 01:13:14,500 Speaking of Alabama, a pretty famous former Alabama player, the Wizard of Oz, is ready to roll into the shows. 1065 01:13:14,740 -->

01:18:12,520 Megan, welcome in. 1152 01:18:12,580 --> 01:18:13,300 How are you? 1153 01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:14,520 I'm great. 1154 01:18:14,620 --> 01:18:15,880 Thank you all for having me. 1155 01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:17,380 Oh, you're more than welcome. 1156 01:18:17,540 --> 01:18:19,360 The reason we did, it's kind of sneaky, Megan. 1157 01:18:19,460 --> 01:18:24,300 Brent and I did this because, if you don't mind, can we get on your wheel and get your Rolodex? 1158 01:18:24,400 --> 01:18:26,500 Yes, I dated myself, Rolodex. 1159 01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:30,580 I mean, you look at the guys that you've had coming in here, Bill Walton, Pete Rose, 1160 01:18:30,700 --> 01:18:33,020 and you're going to go on and on and on and on. 1161 01:18:33,820 --> 01:18:36,240 Can we have your Rolodex one of these days? 1162 01:18:36,380 --> 01:18:44,040 I mean, you guys know some people when it comes to the Renaissance Shows Conference Center every spring, every year. 1163 01:18:44,140 --> 01:18:47,140 Talk to us about the latest chapter of Hall of Famers. 1164 01:18:47,880 --> 01:18:52,060 Yeah, so we are so excited to have an Aussie Newsome join us this year. 1165 01:18:52,260 --> 01:18:53,580 You know, we truly have. 1166 01:18:53,660 --> 01:18:57,460 We've lucked up so much with the speakers that we've had and been able to connect with. 1167 01:18:57,780 --> 01:19:03,780 And as we started thinking about it, it's like, okay, you know, every year, how do we compete with the year before? 1168 01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:13,360 And so we decided it was time to bring a Shows native back and get him back in the community and just rally around him and support him. 1169 01:19:13,360 --> 01:19:20,860 And we were just tickled that he was willing to make the time to come back and support our calls and just get back to the Shows area. 1170 01:19:21,040 --> 01:19:22,860 You know, we have a little bit of a time change. 1171 01:19:22,980 --> 01:19:26,460 You know, normally this event's in August, but we wanted to work around his schedule. 1172 01:19:27,200 --> 01:19:32,700 His football season starts back normally, and, you know, he's normally tied up in that August window. 1173 01:19:32,700 --> 01:19:36,040 So we were able to work out him coming back in May this year. 1174 01:19:36,120 --> 01:19:40,100 So it's a little bit earlier, but definitely worth it to have him join us. 1175 01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:47,280 You know, the thing that strikes you, Megan, for everyone who's ever met a native of the Shows, and I've had that privilege, 1176 01:19:47,720 --> 01:19:51,660 he always came back in the spring and had a charity golf tournament at Cypress Lakes. 1177 01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:54,680 And I always thought I had big hands. 1178 01:19:55,240 --> 01:19:57,820 I look like I was hand challenged. 1179 01:19:57,940 --> 01:20:00,860 He's got the biggest hands of any human on the earth. 1180 01:20:01,620 --> 01:20:04,080 But not only that, he's just a super nice guy. 1181 01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:09,120 And when you look at all the accolades and the reason that he would have to brag, he is still, at least, 1182 01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:14,360 unless he has had a drastic change the last time that I had the opportunity to work with him, just a down-to-earth guy. 1183 01:20:15,120 --> 01:20:15,800 Oh, absolutely. 1184 01:20:16,140 --> 01:20:22,380 I mean, just as humble as they come, and, again, just more than willing to work with us and accommodate us to come back. 1185 01:20:22,520 --> 01:20:28,940 And, you know, we're just tickled to have such a kind man like him to come back and speak to the area. 1186 01:20:29,300 --> 01:20:31,700 And I think everybody's just going to love it. 1187 01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:41,760 Megan, there are quarterback clubs across the country who would like to get the speakers that you've had for this event. 1188 01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:46,800 Pete Rose in 21, Bill Walton in 22, God rest their souls. 1189 01:20:47,440 --> 01:20:52,520 Archie Manning in 23, Steve Sperger in 24, and, of course, Murph. 1190 01:20:53,060 --> 01:20:58,100 Now, Murphy last year, May 19th, beginning at 5 at the Renaissance. 1191 01:20:58,900 --> 01:21:04,080 Charles Conference Center, let us try to help you sell some tickets, if there are any left. 1192 01:21:04,760 --> 01:21:14,640 Now, if a business that is listening to us would like to sponsor a table or be a sponsor of the event or individual tickets, 1193 01:21:15,300 --> 01:21:24,000 tell us about how somebody can go ahead and reserve, buy tickets individually for a family, for an organization. 1194 01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:27,560 I know teams have done this before. 1195 01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:32,940 How can they get more information to tell us as far as purchasing tickets? 1196 01:21:33,800 --> 01:21:38,200 Yeah, so we've got tickets, tables, and sponsorships all on sale right now. 1197 01:21:38,980 --> 01:21:41,960 You know, normally we just sell tables early on. 1198 01:21:42,080 --> 01:21:49,860 But, again, just such a popular guy coming back that we went ahead and put individual tickets on sale as well for people to purchase. 1199 01:21:50,140 --> 01:21:53,240 But they can go to roarlines.com to purchase tickets. 1200 01:21:53,240 --> 01:21:58,660 They can reach out to me directly, 256-765-4615. 1201 01:21:59,440 --> 01:22:03,940 We do have some meet-and-greet opportunities available within our sponsorship packages. 1202 01:22:04,440 --> 01:22:10,780 So lots of opportunities, you know, to purchase, to get in the door, and get to listen to them. 1203 01:22:10,900 --> 01:22:16,860 And, like I said, if somebody wants to meet and have a picture made, we'll have those opportunities available, too, before the event. 1204 01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:18,860 And a little Megan died. 1205 01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:19,980 Megan, talk to us. 1206 01:22:20,100 --> 01:22:22,240 Okay, that's great to get to meet Ozzie. 1207 01:22:22,800 --> 01:22:24,880 But it basically serves more than one purpose. 1208 01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:29,400 The proceeds go to the North Alabama Lions Athletic Club. 1209 01:22:29,480 --> 01:22:31,180 But the folks are asking, what is that? 1210 01:22:31,540 --> 01:22:32,180 How do you answer? 1211 01:22:32,940 --> 01:22:37,240 Yeah, the Lions Athletic Club is the official booster club of North Alabama Athletics. 1212 01:22:38,020 --> 01:22:45,840 You know, 100% of the money raised goes back to enhance the experience of our student-athletes, from operational costs to travel, you name it. 1213 01:22:46,840 --> 01:22:49,900 Those dollars are extremely important for running our department. 1214 01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:55,560 And just really grateful for the Lions Athletic Club and all of our members out there and what they do to support. 1215 01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:57,540 I'm actually just coming from a luncheon. 1216 01:22:58,040 --> 01:23:03,900 We have our luncheons, you know, twice a month where everybody can come out and listen to the coaches speak. 1217 01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:09,700 And just really appreciative of them and all that they do to raise funds to support the department. 1218 01:23:09,700 --> 01:23:13,360 So, this event, it's just one of the special events that they have each year. 1219 01:23:13,460 --> 01:23:15,820 So, all the money goes back into that booster club. 1220 01:23:16,920 --> 01:23:21,520 Megan, I know the athletic department has a lot of employees. 1221 01:23:21,780 --> 01:23:27,120 But when you think about this for a minute, and I know Josh Looney could add his two cents worth. 1222 01:23:27,480 --> 01:23:37,620 But what goes on in the spring, March the 4th, the UNA men's and women's basketball teams are in Jacksonville, North Florida. 1223 01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:39,940 The women have already played and won. 1224 01:23:40,060 --> 01:23:42,800 The men are about to tip off in five minutes, literally. 1225 01:23:43,900 --> 01:23:48,260 UNA baseball is in Oxford tonight playing Ole Miss. 1226 01:23:48,260 --> 01:23:50,900 They play Southern Miss this weekend. 1227 01:23:51,540 --> 01:23:53,580 And it's cross-over season. 1228 01:23:54,540 --> 01:23:57,200 Yeah, you've got softball and tennis. 1229 01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:07,380 Besides your hair turning gray or turning out, how in the world do you run an athletic department this time of the year? 1230 01:24:08,260 --> 01:24:10,420 We survive in advance each day. 1231 01:24:11,120 --> 01:24:17,880 We have a fantastic staff, and we all wear multiple hats, but we love it. 1232 01:24:18,400 --> 01:24:22,780 You know, we truly have the best work family, and we jump in where we're needed. 1233 01:24:22,780 --> 01:24:26,020 And we are all over the place this week. 1234 01:24:26,120 --> 01:24:29,840 About half our department is down in Jacksonville with the basketball teams. 1235 01:24:30,040 --> 01:24:35,080 But we've got some of us up here that are, you know, taking care of softball, that are on the road. 1236 01:24:35,580 --> 01:24:38,700 You know, with baseball today, we divide and conquer. 1237 01:24:39,780 --> 01:24:47,280 And, you know, when you enjoy and love the team you work with and you love your coaches and each other like we all do, 1238 01:24:47,440 --> 01:24:49,400 it just makes it fun. 1239 01:24:49,600 --> 01:24:52,400 You know, it's tough, and there's a lot of late nights, a lot of weekends. 1240 01:24:52,780 --> 01:24:56,760 But, you know, that's what you sign up for when you get in the world of college athletics. 1241 01:24:57,220 --> 01:24:59,880 And, you know, crossover season doesn't last long. 1242 01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:06,440 But, you know, when it is busy and we're all in different directions, you know, we do the best we can 1243 01:25:06,440 --> 01:25:11,780 and make sure all of our athletes, no matter where they're playing at, feel loved and promoted and supported. 1244 01:25:12,780 --> 01:25:18,240 You know, Megan, one thing about it, a lot of people go to work and then they don't see any fruits of their labor. 1245 01:25:18,340 --> 01:25:19,760 My late dad was a builder. 1246 01:25:20,360 --> 01:25:25,440 And you can go back five years, ten years, even 50 years after some of his work, and there it is. 1247 01:25:25,520 --> 01:25:30,400 And I would imagine you want to brag a little bit about some of the investment that this community has made. 1248 01:25:30,860 --> 01:25:36,560 Is it true that baseball has a new home and this fall football will have a new home? 1249 01:25:36,620 --> 01:25:38,640 Would you like to brag a little bit about that? 1250 01:25:38,840 --> 01:25:40,400 Oh, it's just, it's beautiful. 1251 01:25:40,900 --> 01:25:45,260 You know, baseball, we had the grand opening back, Valentine's weekend. 1252 01:25:46,080 --> 01:25:48,280 And it was more than we could have asked for. 1253 01:25:48,400 --> 01:25:52,520 You know, you prepare for these things and you watch it get built and you know it's going to be exciting. 1254 01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:58,120 But until you get there and experience it, like, it's just this sense of pride. 1255 01:25:58,120 --> 01:26:09,460 Like, as cheesy as it sounds, like, you walk into, you know how much work everybody has put into that facility and seeing our athletes get out there for the first time. 1256 01:26:09,620 --> 01:26:14,740 And, you know, having a facility that they are just so proud to bring people in and seeing it. 1257 01:26:14,740 --> 01:26:16,460 I mean, it was a standing room only crowd. 1258 01:26:16,860 --> 01:26:17,140 Yeah. 1259 01:26:17,200 --> 01:26:17,880 It was just packed. 1260 01:26:18,080 --> 01:26:22,000 And we've been so fortunate with the weather that we've had these first couple weekends. 1261 01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:27,240 Because we were on the road pretty heavy at the beginning of baseball season last year while, you know, the build was under construction. 1262 01:26:27,440 --> 01:26:31,380 So, our home schedule is pretty heavy on the front end this year. 1263 01:26:31,620 --> 01:26:33,940 And, you know, we've just had picture-perfect weather. 1264 01:26:34,100 --> 01:26:35,580 The crowds have been fantastic. 1265 01:26:35,860 --> 01:26:41,900 And, I mean, it's just, it's truly the, I know I'm partial, but it's one of the prettiest facilities I've been in. 1266 01:26:41,960 --> 01:26:45,700 Like, it's fantastic and it's exactly what we need, the size we need. 1267 01:26:46,960 --> 01:26:48,660 Our crew has worked so hard. 1268 01:26:48,760 --> 01:26:50,820 You know, we've never had a video board at baseball before. 1269 01:26:50,940 --> 01:26:58,540 And our creative team has worked so hard to create just a fun, fan-engaging experience that everybody wants to come back to. 1270 01:26:58,740 --> 01:26:59,900 And, you know, it's football. 1271 01:27:00,220 --> 01:27:03,080 Watching it go, it makes you even more excited for that grand opening. 1272 01:27:03,080 --> 01:27:07,480 And, you know, construction's right on schedule and watching it go up. 1273 01:27:07,660 --> 01:27:10,520 And it's, I can't wait for September to roll around. 1274 01:27:10,700 --> 01:27:14,940 It's going to be a facility that the entire community is so proud of. 1275 01:27:15,760 --> 01:27:27,340 Megan, if you would like to donate $100 or $100,000 to a football stadium, to the baseball stadium, to the athletic department overall, 1276 01:27:27,340 --> 01:27:35,800 I know there are some unique opportunities with Mike Lane Field and particularly with the new football stadium. 1277 01:27:36,660 --> 01:27:40,180 And I'm sure you've already had a lot get involved. 1278 01:27:40,520 --> 01:27:42,320 But I know you'd like to have some more. 1279 01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:45,260 Where can they get online, participate? 1280 01:27:45,880 --> 01:27:53,500 What levels, what opportunities are available for the football stadium and the baseball stadium? 1281 01:27:54,300 --> 01:27:54,700 Yeah. 1282 01:27:54,800 --> 01:27:58,180 So we've got a new website that we launched back at Christmas. 1283 01:27:58,580 --> 01:28:02,400 It's unabankindependentstadium.com. 1284 01:28:02,640 --> 01:28:04,200 And you can visit the website. 1285 01:28:04,200 --> 01:28:13,140 And it's got information from season tickets to giving opportunities to Lions Athletic Club membership and how it relates to season tickets in the new stadium. 1286 01:28:14,040 --> 01:28:14,960 There truly is. 1287 01:28:14,960 --> 01:28:17,480 There's a way for anybody to be a part of it. 1288 01:28:17,480 --> 01:28:24,820 There are still some naming opportunities from – we'll have a donor wall right inside the stadium that's $100 and up. 1289 01:28:24,900 --> 01:28:27,980 We've got plaques to trees. 1290 01:28:28,880 --> 01:28:36,100 There's so many different ways that people can get involved and feel like they're a part of that facility being built. 1291 01:28:36,940 --> 01:28:39,400 Season tickets actually go on sale next Wednesday. 1292 01:28:39,600 --> 01:28:42,960 We're working through a priority system list, but they will start next Wednesday. 1293 01:28:43,100 --> 01:28:50,780 So that's exciting, you know, starting to get everybody their seats for the first time and, you know, just filling that stadium up. 1294 01:28:50,800 --> 01:28:54,240 And they'll go on sale to the public later this summer. 1295 01:28:54,480 --> 01:29:00,840 But, yes, lots of ways to get involved and make the facility feel like a little piece of home for them, too. 1296 01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:03,900 You can save on your gym membership. 1297 01:29:04,140 --> 01:29:05,020 You've got enough going on. 1298 01:29:05,060 --> 01:29:06,840 You don't have to go to the gym to stay in shape. 1299 01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:11,460 Megan, we're shocked that you can find time with us for that busy schedule, but we're grateful. 1300 01:29:11,880 --> 01:29:15,360 Thank you so much and all the best with the upcoming event with the Wizard of Oz. 1301 01:29:16,100 --> 01:29:16,860 Oh, thank you. 1302 01:29:16,940 --> 01:29:21,320 I appreciate y'all having me and taking time for me to come home and brag about all things UNA. 1303 01:29:22,320 --> 01:29:23,040 Thank you, dear. 1304 01:29:23,080 --> 01:29:27,280 Megan Dye, Associate Athletic Director of External

01:34:43,300 Hey, we're doing all right. 1438 01:34:43,460 --> 01:34:44,700 Drew, let's talk about it. 1439 01:34:44,760 --> 01:34:47,520 Obviously, Alabama, eight-game winning streak. 1440 01:34:48,100 --> 01:34:50,520 And as they say, all good things must come to an end. 1441 01:34:50,520 --> 01:34:52,880 And it did last night with a Georgia win. 1442 01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:54,360 Your thoughts about the game 1443 01:34:54,360 --> 01:34:57,420 and where this Alabama basketball team is 1444 01:34:57,420 --> 01:34:58,800 at this point in the season. 1445 01:34:59,620 --> 01:35:02,480 Well, you know, they still have everything to play for. 1446 01:35:03,020 --> 01:35:04,660 I didn't think they played very well last night. 1447 01:35:04,720 --> 01:35:06,140 Now, they started promoting tip. 1448 01:35:06,600 --> 01:35:07,940 I didn't think they were locked in. 1449 01:35:08,040 --> 01:35:10,020 They gave up a dunk on the first possession 1450 01:35:10,020 --> 01:35:11,160 on an offensive rebound. 1451 01:35:11,840 --> 01:35:13,340 They didn't rebound very well. 1452 01:35:13,380 --> 01:35:14,660 They got out-rebounded by 10. 1453 01:35:15,020 --> 01:35:16,760 They played well enough offensively. 1454 01:35:16,840 --> 01:35:17,680 They scored 88 points. 1455 01:35:17,760 --> 01:35:19,420 They made 16 threes. 1456 01:35:19,420 --> 01:35:21,540 But defensively, they lacked intensity. 1457 01:35:21,880 --> 01:35:23,120 They gave up 98. 1458 01:35:23,760 --> 01:35:25,940 They gave up 13 threes to Georgia. 1459 01:35:26,860 --> 01:35:29,460 They gave up way too much inside. 1460 01:35:30,060 --> 01:35:32,540 I didn't think it was one of HRL's better defensive games. 1461 01:35:32,600 --> 01:35:33,600 I didn't think it was one of the teams 1462 01:35:33,600 --> 01:35:34,880 better defensive games overall. 1463 01:35:35,520 --> 01:35:36,400 Now, credit Georgia. 1464 01:35:36,480 --> 01:35:36,920 They're good. 1465 01:35:37,020 --> 01:35:38,220 I think they're going four out of five. 1466 01:35:38,360 --> 01:35:39,920 They've definitely played their way 1467 01:35:39,920 --> 01:35:41,240 from the bubble into the field. 1468 01:35:41,680 --> 01:35:43,800 It certainly wasn't a bad loss, 1469 01:35:43,860 --> 01:35:45,980 though, from the standpoint of resume-wise. 1470 01:35:46,160 --> 01:35:48,300 But I think it probably did a lot of damage 1471 01:35:48,300 --> 01:35:49,740 to them trying to get them to three-line. 1472 01:35:50,040 --> 01:35:52,640 I think their scoring is probably the four. 1473 01:35:53,560 --> 01:35:54,840 And that's going to be tough 1474 01:35:54,840 --> 01:35:56,240 because if you get to that second weekend 1475 01:35:56,240 --> 01:35:58,380 to him matched up against one of the one-seeds, 1476 01:35:58,480 --> 01:35:59,240 very likely. 1477 01:35:59,780 --> 01:36:01,320 I mean, because the one that I think 1478 01:36:01,320 --> 01:36:03,900 teams like Duke, Michigan, Arizona, 1479 01:36:04,040 --> 01:36:05,420 New Alabama's already faced. 1480 01:36:06,480 --> 01:36:08,380 Connecticut, they've kind of separated themselves. 1481 01:36:08,620 --> 01:36:11,060 And you're going to probably have to face one of them 1482 01:36:11,060 --> 01:36:12,340 on a neutral floor. 1483 01:36:12,500 --> 01:36:14,940 Now, is Alabama capable of beating someone like that 1484 01:36:14,940 --> 01:36:15,980 and shooting the basketball very well? 1485 01:36:16,060 --> 01:36:16,360 Yes. 1486 01:36:16,500 --> 01:36:21,460 But as we've seen, this team is not a great defensive team. 1487 01:36:21,700 --> 01:36:23,240 It's not a great rebounding team. 1488 01:36:23,660 --> 01:36:24,620 But you never know. 1489 01:36:25,140 --> 01:36:27,200 And Alabama didn't play very well last night. 1490 01:36:27,220 --> 01:36:27,920 It was disappointing. 1491 01:36:28,540 --> 01:36:31,160 But certainly, if they beat Auburn on Saturday 1492 01:36:31,160 --> 01:36:32,480 and they snap out of it, 1493 01:36:32,540 --> 01:36:35,100 then they're going to be the two-seed. 1494 01:36:35,200 --> 01:36:35,640 We know that. 1495 01:36:35,720 --> 01:36:36,580 They'll lock that in. 1496 01:36:36,580 --> 01:36:39,340 And it allows you to be in the bracket opposite Florida 1497 01:36:39,340 --> 01:36:41,420 who's separated themselves and everybody in the SEC. 1498 01:36:41,840 --> 01:36:44,300 And it allows you a path to get to Sunday 1499 01:36:44,300 --> 01:36:47,500 and maybe be a high four, whatever that is. 1500 01:36:47,640 --> 01:36:49,460 I think they were, at one point yesterday, 1501 01:36:49,560 --> 01:36:51,300 they were considered the top four seeds. 1502 01:36:51,440 --> 01:36:52,180 So we'll see. 1503 01:36:52,320 --> 01:36:54,100 But they've still got a ton to play for. 1504 01:36:54,200 --> 01:36:55,820 And they certainly need to snap out of it 1505 01:36:55,820 --> 01:36:58,460 and have a chance to sweep Auburn on Saturday 1506 01:36:58,460 --> 01:36:59,800 because you'll be doing two things. 1507 01:37:00,320 --> 01:37:02,580 You'll be locking up your key seat for yourself 1508 01:37:02,580 --> 01:37:05,080 and very likely costing Auburn a chance 1509 01:37:05,080 --> 01:37:07,100 to go to the NCAA tournament and beat them this week. 1510 01:37:08,100 --> 01:37:09,420 Drew, let me ask you about that. 1511 01:37:09,520 --> 01:37:10,380 To me, one of the things, 1512 01:37:10,420 --> 01:37:12,560 this team obviously can win ballgames. 1513 01:37:12,660 --> 01:37:15,300 But I think the one thing you see that's pretty consistent 1514 01:37:15,300 --> 01:37:18,380 is the inconsistent first-half play. 1515 01:37:18,680 --> 01:37:21,060 It's almost like they've got to wait and fall behind 1516 01:37:21,060 --> 01:37:23,040 and then get their coffee going down the stretch 1517 01:37:23,040 --> 01:37:23,980 once they look at the scoreboard 1518 01:37:23,980 --> 01:37:25,120 and say, we're running out of time here. 1519 01:37:25,200 --> 01:37:26,580 Let's clock in and get busy. 1520 01:37:27,280 --> 01:37:28,620 You know Nate Oates sees this. 1521 01:37:28,680 --> 01:37:31,080 You know, as a head coach, it's frustrating 1522 01:37:31,080 --> 01:37:33,080 because, let's face it, 1523 01:37:33,080 --> 01:37:35,880 as you mentioned, slam dunk off the opening bell there. 1524 01:37:35,960 --> 01:37:36,980 That kind of sets its own. 1525 01:37:37,080 --> 01:37:38,820 What do you think Nate Oates is saying? 1526 01:37:38,860 --> 01:37:41,520 Guys, look, at this point in the season, 1527 01:37:41,660 --> 01:37:42,500 with everything on the line, 1528 01:37:42,580 --> 01:37:44,940 and over the way, we're facing Auburn this weekend 1529 01:37:44,940 --> 01:37:46,020 and you've got the home cooking. 1530 01:37:46,700 --> 01:37:47,700 Your thoughts to me, 1531 01:37:47,840 --> 01:37:50,760 that is one thing that seems to be a common thread with this team. 1532 01:37:50,900 --> 01:37:52,800 It's like they don't get the coffee going 1533 01:37:52,800 --> 01:37:55,820 until sometimes the end of the second half. 1534 01:37:56,720 --> 01:37:57,940 Well, you know, that's true, 1535 01:37:58,040 --> 01:38:00,020 but they have been a good second-half team all year, 1536 01:38:00,080 --> 01:38:02,400 but I do think it's about creating a sense of urgency 1537 01:38:02,400 --> 01:38:04,320 and coming out and executing. 1538 01:38:04,600 --> 01:38:07,200 You know, we're hoping that maybe they had gotten past some of that 1539 01:38:07,200 --> 01:38:10,280 with the 63-point outburst against Mississippi State, 1540 01:38:10,360 --> 01:38:11,640 but I think what you've figured out is 1541 01:38:11,640 --> 01:38:13,240 Mississippi State has basically quit. 1542 01:38:14,240 --> 01:38:16,120 They've been losing the last three games, 1543 01:38:16,160 --> 01:38:17,660 I think, by an average of 30-plus, 1544 01:38:18,100 --> 01:38:20,040 including at home to Missouri, 1545 01:38:20,200 --> 01:38:21,360 which was just baffling. 1546 01:38:22,120 --> 01:38:23,620 And so we will see. 1547 01:38:23,880 --> 01:38:29,180 But, again, I think Alabama has played good basketball 1548 01:38:29,180 --> 01:38:32,460 since the debacle in Gainesville up until last night. 1549 01:38:33,500 --> 01:38:34,960 It's a good Georgia team. 1550 01:38:35,060 --> 01:38:36,640 It's a team that I think, honestly, 1551 01:38:36,740 --> 01:38:38,200 should win in Starkville on Saturday 1552 01:38:38,200 --> 01:38:40,700 and should win 10 SEC games 1553 01:38:40,700 --> 01:38:43,120 and probably be on the 8-7, 8-9 line 1554 01:38:43,120 --> 01:38:44,000 at the NCAA tournament. 1555 01:38:44,200 --> 01:38:46,040 So it's not the end of the world. 1556 01:38:46,160 --> 01:38:47,820 But it was disappointing only for the fact 1557 01:38:47,820 --> 01:38:51,580 that since that kind of unbelievable 23-point performance 1558 01:38:51,580 --> 01:38:52,520 and 8-10 shooting, 1559 01:38:52,880 --> 01:38:55,660 we've only seen Amari Allen go 2-for-14 from the floor 1560 01:38:55,660 --> 01:38:56,660 in the last two games. 1561 01:38:57,020 --> 01:38:58,640 He's a guy that's going to need 1562 01:38:58,640 --> 01:38:59,740 his all-around play, 1563 01:38:59,840 --> 01:39:01,920 his ability to bring the ball to the floor, 1564 01:39:02,000 --> 01:39:02,960 his ability to create, 1565 01:39:03,260 --> 01:39:04,960 his ability to get to the rim 1566 01:39:04,960 --> 01:39:06,000 and shoot the basketball. 1567 01:39:06,080 --> 01:39:07,000 They're going to need all that. 1568 01:39:07,340 --> 01:39:09,080 And they need to get him back going. 1569 01:39:09,280 --> 01:39:10,640 And he needs to play well in Coleman 1570 01:39:10,640 --> 01:39:11,960 on Saturday against Auburn. 1571 01:39:11,960 --> 01:39:14,140 Because LeBaron played well yesterday, 1572 01:39:14,340 --> 01:39:16,080 at least offensively, certainly. 1573 01:39:16,620 --> 01:39:17,600 And certainly, 1574 01:39:17,960 --> 01:39:20,980 Latrell Wright, who I thought, 1575 01:39:21,060 --> 01:39:22,200 had a nice performance, 1576 01:39:22,360 --> 01:39:23,500 and even Aiden Holloway. 1577 01:39:23,800 --> 01:39:24,920 But they're going to need 1578 01:39:24,920 --> 01:39:26,840 Amari Allen's all-around play. 1579 01:39:27,120 --> 01:39:28,080 And then I think they're going to need 1580 01:39:28,080 --> 01:39:29,940 a better all-around effort, 1581 01:39:30,300 --> 01:39:31,720 especially defensively, 1582 01:39:32,040 --> 01:39:33,960 and to stay out of foul trouble 1583 01:39:33,960 --> 01:39:37,880 from the big man in the middle. 1584 01:39:38,180 --> 01:39:39,700 Because if they don't have 1585 01:39:39,700 --> 01:39:41,660 any kind of interior play, 1586 01:39:41,720 --> 01:39:42,520 and I didn't think they had 1587 01:39:42,520 --> 01:39:43,480 Buds last night, 1588 01:39:44,040 --> 01:39:45,020 Aiden Cherell played okay. 1589 01:39:45,260 --> 01:39:45,920 But they're going to need 1590 01:39:45,920 --> 01:39:47,100 Aiden Cherell we saw 1591 01:39:47,100 --> 01:39:48,940 in the previous month, 1592 01:39:48,960 --> 01:39:50,080 most of the previous month, 1593 01:39:50,420 --> 01:39:52,220 to advance in March. 1594 01:39:52,360 --> 01:39:52,800 But again, 1595 01:39:53,260 --> 01:39:54,160 you just have to kind of 1596 01:39:54,160 --> 01:39:55,640 get back up on the horse. 1597 01:39:55,960 --> 01:39:56,880 You've got an extra day 1598 01:39:56,880 --> 01:39:57,800 to prepare for Auburn. 1599 01:39:58,220 --> 01:39:59,660 And the way Auburn played last night, 1600 01:39:59,840 --> 01:40:00,260 they're going to probably 1601 01:40:00,260 --> 01:40:01,140 get their best shot 1602 01:40:01,140 --> 01:40:01,640 because they know 1603 01:40:01,640 --> 01:40:02,840 their backs against the ball. 1604 01:40:02,960 --> 01:40:04,120 So you better come out, 1605 01:40:04,220 --> 01:40:05,000 as you put it, Harold, 1606 01:40:05,100 --> 01:40:06,240 and be ready to play 1607 01:40:06,240 --> 01:40:07,600 and play a good first half 1608 01:40:07,600 --> 01:40:08,720 against the Tigers 1609 01:40:08,720 --> 01:40:09,920 if you want to, you know, 1610 01:40:09,960 --> 01:40:10,820 finish the regular season 1611 01:40:10,820 --> 01:40:11,520 on a high note 1612 01:40:11,520 --> 01:40:12,380 and go into Nashville 1613 01:40:12,380 --> 01:40:12,940 with no middle. 1614 01:40:13,780 --> 01:40:14,720 You touched on 1615 01:40:14,720 --> 01:40:16,080 what I was going to ask you. 1616 01:40:16,180 --> 01:40:16,820 Amari Allen, 1617 01:40:17,020 --> 01:40:19,040 who has been a double-double machine, 1618 01:40:19,720 --> 01:40:21,000 scored two points 1619 01:40:21,000 --> 01:40:21,960 against Tennessee. 1620 01:40:21,960 --> 01:40:23,720 He scored three points 1621 01:40:23,720 --> 01:40:24,540 last night. 1622 01:40:24,660 --> 01:40:26,000 He was one of seven. 1623 01:40:26,820 --> 01:40:29,040 He had all of one rebound, 1624 01:40:29,320 --> 01:40:31,000 five personal fouls. 1625 01:40:31,240 --> 01:40:31,840 D2, 1626 01:40:31,840 --> 01:40:32,780 if he scores 1627 01:40:32,780 --> 01:40:33,640 12 points 1628 01:40:33,640 --> 01:40:34,580 and nine rebounds 1629 01:40:34,580 --> 01:40:35,300 last night, 1630 01:40:35,380 --> 01:40:36,260 there's a good chance 1631 01:40:36,260 --> 01:40:37,320 Alabama would have won 1632 01:40:37,320 --> 01:40:37,920 that game. 1633 01:40:38,640 --> 01:40:39,040 Well, 1634 01:40:39,120 --> 01:40:39,800 and five assists 1635 01:40:39,800 --> 01:40:40,360 as well 1636 01:40:40,360 --> 01:40:41,280 if the ball's moving. 1637 01:40:41,620 --> 01:40:42,900 But I just don't think 1638 01:40:42,900 --> 01:40:43,540 the ball moved 1639 01:40:43,540 --> 01:40:44,440 quite well enough 1640 01:40:44,440 --> 01:40:45,160 last night. 1641 01:40:45,700 --> 01:40:46,840 They had too many turnovers, 1642 01:40:47,060 --> 01:40:48,080 especially in the first half 1643 01:40:48,080 --> 01:40:49,160 that Harold's talking about 1644 01:40:49,160 --> 01:40:50,620 because they gave up 50, 1645 01:40:50,880 --> 01:40:51,680 as I like to say, 1646 01:40:51,760 --> 01:40:52,560 in the first half. 1647 01:40:52,700 --> 01:40:52,800 Yeah. 1648 01:40:53,140 --> 01:40:54,400 And I had a feeling 1649 01:40:54,400 --> 01:40:55,460 that this was going to be 1650 01:40:55,460 --> 01:40:56,320 a tough game for Alabama 1651 01:40:56,320 --> 01:40:56,880 coming off 1652 01:40:56,880 --> 01:40:58,120 of the emotional grinder 1653 01:40:58,120 --> 01:40:58,560 of a game 1654 01:40:58,560 --> 01:40:59,260 against Tennessee. 1655 01:40:59,700 --> 01:41:00,340 And I said, 1656 01:41:00,400 --> 01:41:00,580 you know, 1657 01:41:00,600 --> 01:41:01,660 the first team to 100 1658 01:41:01,660 --> 01:41:02,540 is probably going to win. 1659 01:41:02,980 --> 01:41:03,520 And unfortunately, 1660 01:41:04,240 --> 01:41:05,020 that was Georgia 1661 01:41:05,020 --> 01:41:05,780 who got 98. 1662 01:41:06,200 --> 01:41:07,820 So Alabama 1663 01:41:07,820 --> 01:41:08,260 was going to have 1664 01:41:08,260 --> 01:41:09,020 to bounce back. 1665 01:41:09,400 --> 01:41:10,260 And if they had kept 1666 01:41:10,260 --> 01:41:10,700 fouling it, 1667 01:41:10,740 --> 01:41:11,080 they wouldn't have 1668 01:41:11,080 --> 01:41:11,680 given that to 100. 1669 01:41:11,900 --> 01:41:13,500 So it wasn't the best effort. 1670 01:41:13,680 --> 01:41:14,560 And like Nate Oates said, 1671 01:41:14,600 --> 01:41:15,280 and I've always loved 1672 01:41:15,280 --> 01:41:15,940 this about coach, 1673 01:41:16,000 --> 01:41:16,900 he doesn't miss words. 1674 01:41:17,460 --> 01:41:17,640 He said, 1675 01:41:17,680 --> 01:41:18,080 they've got to get 1676 01:41:18,080 --> 01:41:18,700 a mark going. 1677 01:41:18,940 --> 01:41:19,400 They've got to have 1678 01:41:19,400 --> 01:41:20,400 more of a sense of urgency. 1679 01:41:20,780 --> 01:41:22,180 They failed in their opportunity 1680 01:41:22,180 --> 01:41:22,740 to win another 1681 01:41:22,740 --> 01:41:23,840 quality road game. 1682 01:41:24,300 --> 01:41:25,300 And now they've got to have 1683 01:41:25,300 --> 01:41:26,480 a sense of urgency 1684 01:41:26,480 --> 01:41:28,780 to finish the regular season, 1685 01:41:29,260 --> 01:41:30,200 get that two seed, 1686 01:41:30,360 --> 01:41:31,100 and then have a chance 1687 01:41:31,100 --> 01:41:31,980 to go on a run 1688 01:41:31,980 --> 01:41:33,040 in the postseason. 1689 01:41:33,040 --> 01:41:34,300 Because I still think 1690 01:41:34,300 --> 01:41:35,560 this team has a chance 1691 01:41:35,560 --> 01:41:36,740 to get to the second weekend. 1692 01:41:36,880 --> 01:41:37,460 And if they didn't, 1693 01:41:37,520 --> 01:41:38,040 I think it would be 1694 01:41:38,040 --> 01:41:38,840 very disappointing 1695 01:41:38,840 --> 01:41:40,280 considering the talent 1696 01:41:40,280 --> 01:41:41,140 that they still have 1697 01:41:41,140 --> 01:41:41,820 at their disposal. 1698 01:41:43,020 --> 01:41:43,760 Drew Jarman, 1699 01:41:43,820 --> 01:41:45,320 97.7 FM, 1700 01:41:45,380 --> 01:41:45,840 The Zone. 1701 01:41:46,080 --> 01:41:46,300 Drew, 1702 01:41:46,480 --> 01:41:47,500 if 10 means he's 1703 01:41:47,500 --> 01:41:49,520 absolutely incredibly healthy 1704 01:41:49,520 --> 01:41:50,740 and one says he's lacking, 1705 01:41:50,940 --> 01:41:52,420 where's Phylon right now 1706 01:41:52,420 --> 01:41:53,520 on that 1-10 chart. 1707 01:41:53,900 --> 01:41:55,540 And all season long, 1708 01:41:55,600 --> 01:41:56,360 that's been a topic 1709 01:41:56,360 --> 01:41:57,120 of conversation. 1710 01:41:57,280 --> 01:41:58,560 The team is not healthy. 1711 01:41:58,740 --> 01:41:59,640 They're trying to hang on. 1712 01:41:59,760 --> 01:42:00,800 But last night, 1713 01:42:00,860 --> 01:42:01,960 from everything I was able 1714 01:42:01,960 --> 01:42:02,340 to gather, 1715 01:42:02,420 --> 01:42:03,160 we were able to gather. 1716 01:42:03,260 --> 01:42:03,680 It looked like, 1717 01:42:03,760 --> 01:42:04,560 roughly speaking, 1718 01:42:04,620 --> 01:42:05,520 they were pretty healthy. 1719 01:42:06,120 --> 01:42:06,860 Your thoughts about 1720 01:42:06,860 --> 01:42:07,900 on that 1-10 scale 1721 01:42:07,900 --> 01:42:08,720 where Phylon is 1722 01:42:08,720 --> 01:42:10,060 and the overall health 1723 01:42:10,060 --> 01:42:10,900 of the team right now? 1724 01:42:11,780 --> 01:42:12,520 Well, I would say 1725 01:42:12,520 --> 01:42:13,260 Phylon's probably 1726 01:42:13,260 --> 01:42:14,080 8-1-1-2. 1727 01:42:14,300 --> 01:42:15,020 So, I mean, 1728 01:42:15,640 --> 01:42:16,680 it's the old 1729 01:42:16,680 --> 01:42:17,560 Ty Simpson deal. 1730 01:42:17,660 --> 01:42:18,300 I think he's healthy 1731 01:42:18,300 --> 01:42:19,060 enough to play 1732 01:42:19,060 --> 01:42:20,420 and he had 20 picks. 1733 01:42:20,680 --> 01:42:21,680 So, they certainly 1734 01:42:21,680 --> 01:42:22,400 had a hard time 1735 01:42:22,400 --> 01:42:23,500 guarding him last night 1736 01:42:23,500 --> 01:42:24,080 and he certainly 1737 01:42:24,080 --> 01:42:24,960 made a lot of plays. 1738 01:42:25,560 --> 01:42:26,200 I didn't think 1739 01:42:26,200 --> 01:42:27,240 he was great defensively, 1740 01:42:27,360 --> 01:42:27,860 but, I mean, 1741 01:42:27,920 --> 01:42:28,140 heck, 1742 01:42:28,200 --> 01:42:29,020 I couldn't tell you 1743 01:42:29,020 --> 01:42:29,780 somebody that was 1744 01:42:29,780 --> 01:42:30,740 really good defensively 1745 01:42:30,740 --> 01:42:31,580 last night for Alabama. 1746 01:42:31,740 --> 01:42:32,740 Nobody really was. 1747 01:42:33,080 --> 01:42:33,860 98 points, 1748 01:42:33,920 --> 01:42:34,400 is it all? 1749 01:42:35,120 --> 01:42:35,520 Yeah, 1750 01:42:35,620 --> 01:42:36,320 they didn't play 1751 01:42:36,320 --> 01:42:36,860 very well on that 1752 01:42:36,860 --> 01:42:37,400 end to the floor. 1753 01:42:37,520 --> 01:42:38,080 They didn't rebound 1754 01:42:38,080 --> 01:42:38,620 very well. 1755 01:42:39,000 --> 01:42:39,440 But certainly, 1756 01:42:39,640 --> 01:42:40,500 I think he's probably 1757 01:42:40,500 --> 01:42:41,560 an 8-8-1-1-2. 1758 01:42:41,960 --> 01:42:42,540 They're going to 1759 01:42:42,540 --> 01:42:43,080 manage him 1760 01:42:43,080 --> 01:42:44,040 the rest of the year. 1761 01:42:44,560 --> 01:42:45,880 I think it's probably 1762 01:42:45,880 --> 01:42:46,340 as healthy 1763 01:42:46,340 --> 01:42:47,060 as the team's been 1764 01:42:47,060 --> 01:42:47,400 in a while, 1765 01:42:47,480 --> 01:42:47,800 even though 1766 01:42:47,800 --> 01:42:49,400 they got 11 minutes 1767 01:42:49,400 --> 01:42:50,100 out of Bull Bowen 1768 01:42:50,100 --> 01:42:50,580 last night. 1769 01:42:50,660 --> 01:42:51,880 He's largely infected. 1770 01:42:52,520 --> 01:42:53,180 They still need 1771 01:42:53,180 --> 01:42:54,140 to kind of manage him 1772 01:42:54,140 --> 01:42:54,740 and get him back 1773 01:42:54,740 --> 01:42:55,280 on the floor. 1774 01:42:55,620 --> 01:42:57,000 But they are 1775 01:42:57,000 --> 01:42:57,440 who they are 1776 01:42:57,440 --> 01:42:58,040 at this point. 1777 01:42:58,580 --> 01:42:59,560 You want to keep 1778 01:42:59,560 --> 01:43:00,820 the guys that you have 1779 01:43:00,820 --> 01:43:01,500 in your rotation 1780 01:43:01,500 --> 01:43:02,580 healthy enough to go. 1781 01:43:03,020 --> 01:43:03,420 And then they've got 1782 01:43:03,420 --> 01:43:04,240 to go out and produce. 1783 01:43:04,740 --> 01:43:08,540 this game Saturday 1784 01:43:08,540 --> 01:43:09,480 is very, very important. 1785 01:43:10,260 --> 01:43:11,280 What Latrell Wright 1786 01:43:11,280 --> 01:43:12,080 I think was referring 1787 01:43:12,080 --> 01:43:12,800 to last night 1788 01:43:12,800 --> 01:43:14,060 is we're entering 1789 01:43:14,060 --> 01:43:16,020 the phase of the season 1790 01:43:16,020 --> 01:43:16,660 where it's win 1791 01:43:16,660 -->

01:43:21,300 --> 01:43:21,880 If you want to win 1796 01:43:21,880 --> 01:43:22,620 an SEC tournament, 1797 01:43:22,760 --> 01:43:23,460 you have to win 1798 01:43:23,460 --> 01:43:24,440 every game. 1799 01:43:24,580 --> 01:43:25,060 And then if you want 1800 01:43:25,060 --> 01:43:25,580 to advance 1801 01:43:25,580 --> 01:43:26,460 to an NCAA tournament, 1802 01:43:26,660 --> 01:43:27,320 you

01:43:46,860 anybody they play, 1822 01:43:46,940 --> 01:43:47,480 but it's going to come 1823 01:43:47,480 --> 01:43:48,320 down to the little thing. 1824 01:43:48,500 --> 01:43:49,680 Take care of

01:45:55,180 --> 01:45:56,440 he got to the line, 1954 01:45:56,560 --> 01:45:57,540 he hit one in the throat. 1955 01:45:57,940 --> 01:45:59,080 So he is capable, 1956 01:45:59,500 --> 01:46:00,240 he just has to play 1957 01:46:00,240 --> 01:46:00,900 under control 1958 01:46:00,900 --> 01:46:01,620 so that's going to be 1959 01:46:01,620 --> 01:46:02,400 a really interesting 1960 01:46:02,400 --> 01:46:04,400 situation to monitor 1961 01:46:04,400 --> 01:46:05,780 going forward 1962 01:46:05,780 --> 01:46:06,740 against Auburn 1963 01:46:06,740 --> 01:46:07,380 on Saturday 1964 01:46:07,380 --> 01:46:08,320 and then if they go 1965 01:46:08,320 --> 01:46:08,980 into Nashville 1966 01:46:08,980 --> 01:46:10,560 with that double bye. 1967 01:46:11,880 --> 01:46:12,880 Speaking of Auburn, 1968 01:46:12,960 --> 01:46:13,140 Drew, 1969 01:46:13,260 --> 01:46:13,780 your thoughts, 1970 01:46:13,860 --> 01:46:14,480 obviously everybody 1971 01:46:14,480 --> 01:46:15,160 had them pretty much 1972 01:46:15,160 --> 01:46:16,380 written off last night. 1973 01:46:16,480 --> 01:46:17,160 They win, 1974 01:46:17,260 --> 01:46:18,520 albeit against LSU. 1975 01:46:19,240 --> 01:46:20,120 Your thoughts 1976 01:46:20,120 --> 01:46:20,880 on what that does 1977 01:46:20,880 --> 01:46:21,720 as far as 1978 01:46:21,720 --> 01:46:23,040 the ultimate demise 1979 01:46:23,040 --> 01:46:23,640 that a lot of folks 1980 01:46:23,640 --> 01:46:24,100 said about the 1981 01:46:24,100 --> 01:46:24,780 Auburn Tigers. 1982 01:46:25,360 --> 01:46:25,940 The way I answered 1983 01:46:25,940 --> 01:46:26,480 that question 1984 01:46:26,480 --> 01:46:27,960 is their destiny 1985 01:46:27,960 --> 01:46:28,780 is in their own hands. 1986 01:46:28,860 --> 01:46:29,360 They went out, 1987 01:46:29,420 --> 01:46:29,800 they're going to get 1988 01:46:29,800 --> 01:46:30,260 some equity 1989 01:46:30,260 --> 01:46:31,180 between Alabama 1990 01:46:31,180 --> 01:46:32,240 Saturday and the SEC 1991 01:46:32,240 --> 01:46:32,780 tournament. 1992 01:46:33,500 --> 01:46:34,520 The question is 1993 01:46:34,520 --> 01:46:35,060 what do you think 1994 01:46:35,060 --> 01:46:35,520 will happen 1995 01:46:35,520 --> 01:46:36,360 with this Auburn team? 1996 01:46:37,360 --> 01:46:37,720 Well, 1997 01:46:37,780 --> 01:46:38,040 I mean, 1998 01:46:38,160 --> 01:46:38,820 I think Alabama 1999 01:46:38,820 --> 01:46:39,660 should win the game. 2000 01:46:39,860 --> 01:46:40,240 If they do, 2001 01:46:40,360 --> 01:46:41,100 I think Auburn's 2002 01:46:41,100 --> 01:46:42,740 hopes are on life support. 2003 01:46:43,280 --> 01:46:44,780 But is it an impossibility? 2004 01:46:44,920 --> 01:46:45,140 No, 2005 01:46:45,180 --> 01:46:45,640 it's not. 2006 01:46:45,820 --> 01:46:46,600 The game in Auburn 2007 01:46:46,600 --> 01:46:47,520 went down to the wire. 2008 01:46:48,080 --> 01:46:48,700 This Auburn team 2009 01:46:48,700 --> 01:46:49,500 has the best win 2010 01:46:49,500 --> 01:46:50,300 of the year in the SEC 2011 01:46:50,300 --> 01:46:51,240 because they somehow 2012 01:46:51,240 --> 01:46:52,240 won in Gainesville. 2013 01:46:52,720 --> 01:46:53,560 That seems like 2014 01:46:53,560 --> 01:46:54,480 the twilight zone 2015 01:46:54,480 --> 01:46:55,940 now for the way 2016 01:46:55,940 --> 01:46:56,720 Florida's playing. 2017 01:46:56,820 --> 01:46:57,240 But it was an 2018 01:46:57,240 --> 01:46:57,880 unbelievable effort. 2019 01:46:58,040 --> 01:46:58,480 It shows you 2020 01:46:58,480 --> 01:46:59,260 on any given day 2021 01:46:59,260 --> 01:46:59,880 what could happen. 2022 01:47:00,100 --> 01:47:01,320 It should be a wake-up 2023 01:47:01,320 --> 01:47:02,040 call for Alabama 2024 01:47:02,040 --> 01:47:02,860 to be ready to go 2025 01:47:02,860 --> 01:47:03,420 because Auburn 2026 01:47:03,420 --> 01:47:03,920 should be playing 2027 01:47:03,920 --> 01:47:04,640 with desperation. 2028 01:47:05,420 --> 01:47:06,260 They'd be going to win. 2029 01:47:06,260 --> 01:47:07,660 I think if they got 2030 01:47:07,660 --> 01:47:08,280 this win 2031 01:47:08,280 --> 01:47:08,820 and then won 2032 01:47:08,820 --> 01:47:09,400 the opener 2033 01:47:09,400 --> 01:47:10,180 in Nashville, 2034 01:47:10,840 --> 01:47:11,740 I think they'd be in 2035 01:47:11,740 --> 01:47:12,960 because they'd have 2036 01:47:12,960 --> 01:47:13,780 18 wins. 2037 01:47:14,340 --> 01:47:15,420 I wouldn't have 2038 01:47:15,420 --> 01:47:15,880 them advance 2039 01:47:15,880 --> 01:47:17,000 and pass the first day 2040 01:47:17,000 --> 01:47:18,500 but I think 2041 01:47:18,500 --> 01:47:18,900 with the leagues 2042 01:47:18,900 --> 01:47:19,440 in the quarters 2043 01:47:19,440 --> 01:47:20,760 if that gets you 2044 01:47:20,760 --> 01:47:21,240 that you're still 2045 01:47:21,240 --> 01:47:22,140 18 and 15 2046 01:47:22,140 --> 01:47:23,100 but the strength 2047 01:47:23,100 --> 01:47:23,560 of schedule 2048 01:47:23,560 --> 01:47:24,020 they've got 2049 01:47:24,020 --> 01:47:24,560 I think they'd be 2050 01:47:24,560 --> 01:47:25,080 in the tournament 2051 01:47:25,080 --> 01:47:26,060 whether it's 2052 01:47:26,060 --> 01:47:26,700 the first four 2053 01:47:26,700 --> 01:47:27,620 or just solidly 2054 01:47:27,620 --> 01:47:28,120 in the field. 2055 01:47:28,540 --> 01:47:28,940 I think they'd 2056 01:47:28,940 --> 01:47:29,700 probably be solidly 2057 01:47:29,700 --> 01:47:30,120 in the field 2058 01:47:30,120 --> 01:47:30,800 because they'd have 2059 01:47:30,800 --> 01:47:32,000 wins over Arkansas, 2060 01:47:32,580 --> 01:47:32,960 Florida, 2061 01:47:33,220 --> 01:47:33,720 Alabama, 2062 01:47:34,200 --> 01:47:35,420 St. John's. 2063 01:47:35,440 --> 01:47:36,300 They'd be in good shape 2064 01:47:36,300 --> 01:47:36,760 and then 2065 01:47:36,760 --> 01:47:38,100 the win on the 2066 01:47:38,100 --> 01:47:38,580 opening day 2067 01:47:38,580 --> 01:47:39,020 of the tournament 2068 01:47:39,020 --> 01:47:40,300 so I just think 2069 01:47:40,300 --> 01:47:41,200 Auburn would be 2070 01:47:41,200 --> 01:47:41,740 in good shape 2071 01:47:41,740 --> 01:47:42,160 but I think 2072 01:47:42,160 --> 01:47:42,780 they've got to win 2073 01:47:42,780 --> 01:47:43,840 the next two games 2074 01:47:43,840 --> 01:47:44,620 in order to get there. 2075 01:47:44,740 --> 01:47:45,320 I think Alabama 2076 01:47:45,320 --> 01:47:46,360 would go a long way 2077 01:47:46,360 --> 01:47:47,280 but then winning 2078 01:47:47,280 --> 01:47:47,900 in Nashville 2079 01:47:47,900 --> 01:47:48,820 would probably 2080 01:47:48,820 --> 01:47:50,280 keep them 2081 01:47:50,280 --> 01:47:51,680 in the tournament 2082 01:47:51,680 --> 01:47:52,160 which I think 2083 01:47:52,160 --> 01:47:52,700 would be huge 2084 01:47:52,700 --> 01:47:53,480 for Steven Pearl 2085 01:47:53,480 --> 01:47:54,620 but if you're 2086 01:47:54,620 --> 01:47:55,360 Alabama though 2087 01:47:55,360 --> 01:47:56,320 you want to 2088 01:47:56,320 --> 01:47:57,780 seal that second 2089 01:47:57,780 --> 01:47:58,660 seed overall 2090 01:47:58,660 --> 01:47:59,360 to go with that 2091 01:47:59,360 --> 01:47:59,880 double by 2092 01:47:59,880 --> 01:48:01,220 because you don't 2093 01:48:01,220 --> 01:48:01,700 want to drop 2094 01:48:01,700 --> 01:48:02,720 to the fourth spot 2095 01:48:02,720 --> 01:48:03,100 at all 2096 01:48:03,100 --> 01:48:03,700 because you want 2097 01:48:03,700 --> 01:48:04,180 to stay away 2098 01:48:04,180 --> 01:48:04,740 from Florida 2099 01:48:04,740 --> 01:48:05,760 so you absolutely 2100 01:48:05,760 --> 01:48:06,640 have to play him 2101 01:48:06,640 --> 01:48:07,480 which would be 2102 01:48:07,480 --> 01:48:08,020 on Sunday. 2103
