    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.
