    Fantastic interviews. Funny family friendly dad jokes. Great football minds!

    Update 5/13/26:

    I have been listening for years. Amazing content. Love these guys and the whole team (Damien and everyone else who helps out). Wonderful! I lived in Alabama until my mid 30s and now live in Boston. Thanks for making the podcast available to those of us who no longer live in Alabama.

  • Owned by Bryan Driskell

    Alabama being in the playoff is a joke. They passed Notre Dame after beating Auburn by 7 and then remained ahead after being blown out in the CCP. The first year that the “eye test” and advanced metrics do not favor Alabama we magically decide to push the narrative for resume because “it’s different for the 12 team playoff”.

    Defending the decision and the process shows a lack of credibility.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tyler Watts, former Alabama QB & CTSN broadcaster, tells McElroy & Cubelic why the slow starts for Bama are a concern but not a major one, how strong the defense has been, and what the Tide need to do to ensure the win over South Carolina
Q: What can be done to ignite the offense earlier in games?
Use quick throws to get ahead of the chains, limit at-the-line changes, and rely on a faster pace and more early drives to build momentum, while maintaining the run game and testing defenses with a variety of looks.
Billy Liucci, executive editor for TexAgs, tells McElroy & Cubelic what it was like meeting Taylor Swift & Tom Cruise, what went wrong for A&M against Kentucky, and what all needs to be fixed before they take on LSU
Q: Taylor Swift, Travis Kelsey picture—what happened there?
Liucci explains it was a longstanding friendship with the group, and meeting Taylor Swift was a genuine, positive experience rather than a forced encounter.
Ian Fitzsimmons, ESPN Radio host, tells McElroy & Cubelic what he learned about Auburn & Florida while calling their game, how Alabama is able to make those comebacks, and why so much is up in the air in the SEC
Q: What stood out most from the Auburn vs. Florida game, from your perspective?
Ian highlights the on-field conditions, the impressive field drainage, and the coaching staffs' preparation, while noting Florida's inconsistencies and Auburn's potential to improve with time.
MAXX BALL Recap - Rest of the SEC | Ian Fitzsimmons talks Auburn-Florida | Mac & Cube
Q: What is the weirdest thing that ever dictated where you threw the ball?
We discussed unusual cues like a crowd reaction and a perceived blitz from deep in the stadium, but the consensus was that while crowd noise can influence decisions, there are limits and players must rely on protection and progression reads rather than passive signals.
Tyler Watts, former Alabama QB & CTSN broadcaster, tells McElroy & Cubelic what his takeaways were from the win over ECU, the new things the offense did that stood out to him, and where Kentucky can cause problems for Alabama
Q: What do you feel Alabama needs to do to avoid slipping up on the road in the fourth quarter against a challenged but rising Kentucky squad?
They must start fast and play a clean game in the first quarter, limit mistakes, and execute at a high level with a physical offensive line and solid run game to control tempo and keep Kentucky from building momentum.
