Is It Really Already April?!?!

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 00:10:00 -0400

This week we ruminate on good teams getting their butt's kicked, another tragic season-ending loss for Duke, a mammoth semifinal matchup between Arizona and Michigan, and all chalk in the women's Final Four.

We also review the Alabama basketball season, discuss how successful it was, what defines success for the program these days, and what it'll take for Nate Oats' squad to leap to the next level. On the women's side, another close loss in the round of 32 was made worse with the news that we lost coach Kristy Curry to USF and what that means going forward.

There's also a little NBA and MLB talk in there.

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 00:35:00 -0400

An XL-sized episode, what is this, football season?

Nope, just a whole lotta talk about the NCAA Tournaments, including our outlook on Alabama's chances, the favorites in each bracket, teams we think will be tough outs, and matchups we'd like to see.

We begin the show with about 10-15 minutes of discourse on the hypocrisy of weed laws in America, stemming of course from Aden Holloway's arrest.

There's also a good bit on NFL Free Agency, some World Baseball Classic, and remembering the character that was Lou Holtz.

Sir, You Need To Go Home

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 00:00:00 -0400

Naturally, Alabama's big win in Knoxville is our main topic, but there's also college hoops at large, some Bama baseball and softball, some other stuff from around the sports world, and then we do our best Taking It Down impression and ramble on about TV for a lot longer than we expected to, among other topics - like the time Greg got kicked out of a gymnastics meet.

A HUGE THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN TO EVERYONE WHO HAD DONATED TO HELP KEEP THE ALABAMA TAKE GOING. If you're feeling so kind, you can do the same right here.

Super Sick Season

Sun, 08 Feb 2026 23:55:00 -0400

Here's to hoping your immune system does to illness what the Seahawks defense did to Drake Maye and the Patriots offense. Of course we talk Super Bowl, and there's also a big week for Bama hoops, a big move for North Dakota State, not so many big trades in the NBA, a bittersweet end to football season, and more.

All Bow Before The Indiana Death Machine

Sun, 11 Jan 2026 23:47:00 -0400

Aside from the Hoosiers obliterating poor Oregon, it was quite the weekend in football. Miami and Ole Miss played a classic, and the NFL Wild Card round has absolutely brought the goods. Unlike Alabama basketball, which had a rough week.

All of that, plus transfer portal talk and HOLY HELL THE BALTIMORE RAVENS ACTUALLY FIRED JOHN HARBAUGH.

We review year 2 under Kalen DeBoer in Tuscaloosa - what went right, what went wrong, and what we'd like to see going forward. New year, same old ending for the Ravens. At least the NFL playoffs look fun. Bama hoops rolls in their SEC opener. The transfer portal is wide open. More sports stuff.

The Tide rolls through Norman on their way to Pasadena. Miami wins a rock ifhgt in College Station. Ole Miss and Oregon cruise. The quarterfinals look awesome, the NFL is fun as long as you're not a Ravens fan, FCS semis, Bobby P rides into Chapel Hill, the portal is full of QBs, and more.

Uh, Michigan, You Alright Up There?

Mon, 15 Dec 2025 01:06:00 -0400

We thought this would be a chill episode where we previewed the CFP, talked a little lower division action, some NFL and such. Then the Sherrone Moore saga exploded, so we spend the better part of the first half hour discussing his dismissal and just what the hell is going on in Ann Arbor, and what happens next.

Kyle Wittingham stepped down at Utah, which would be huge news any other week.

The Kansas City Chiefs will miss the playoffs for the first time since 2014, and to throw salt in the wound Patrick Mahomes tore his ACL. We talk about what that might mean for the franchise going forward.

Alabama basketball had a dissapointing second half in their loss to #1 Arizona.

John Cena 's last match ended with him tapping out to Gunther.

All of that and other stuff, too.

Welp, That's One Way To Do It

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 00:23:00 -0400

You'd think we'd show some humility about backing into the College Football Playoff... but nah, we're Bama fans, that ain't our style. The SEC Championship game was ugly, but the Tide has a shot at revenge in Norman.

Notre Dame has a legit gripe, but they're also being really petulant about it, so we don't feel sorry for them. Unfortunately, this probably leads to some changes no one wants to see.

The NFL remains crazy, and the refs can go screw themselves.

Other things: Bama hoops, conference title games, a gigantic upset in FCS, please stop saying the BCS was good, is UCLA an upgrade over James Madison?

The Size of Watermelons

Mon, 01 Dec 2025 00:16:00 -0400

Another Iron Bowl in the wretched, cursed hellhole that is Jordan-Hare Stadium, another heart attack... and another Tide win. Fear the finger!

Also, the conference title games are set, so we yap about them. Oh, and Lane Kiffin ruined all of the goodwill he's built up by jetting Ole Miss in the ugliest way possible. Then the whole coaching carousel started spinning like a top, yet somehow Penn State still doesn't have a coach - and no, you can't have Kalen DeBoer, for better or worse he's ours, and we want him (but check back next week).

NFL is still crazy, Bama hoops rebounded well, Michigan might be the best team in the country.

Mon, 17 Nov 2025 23:27:00 -0400

When you think about it, having the ball for 7 minutes and not crossing the 50 is kind of impressive. Anyway, conference races are heating up across college football, Josh Allen goes monster mode, the Pels and Mavs have something to celebrate, and Google and Disney finally work things out.

Insert that Danny Glover line from Lethal Weapon here. Bama survives, A&M thrives, Lane jives, I once met a man from St. Ives... anyway, LSU kicks Brian Kelly to the curb, Vandy keeps on winning, we feel bad for State, we love what Willie Fritz is doing in Houston, TD is actually happy after a Ravens game, the NBA tips off and then we find out about some other tip offs, and the World Series is also mentioned.

Surprise! A little Tuesday podcastin' coming at you.

Anyway, Bama, Hoosiers, Texas, Georgia, USC = good. Penn State (bye bye James Franklin), SEC refs, Auburn's second half offense = bad. The American is almost as fun as the Big 12, Ohio State is probably the best team in the country, next week's schedule is a banger, and UAB finally got rid of Trent Dilfer. NFL, Aces dynasty, MLB playoffs, too.

Down go the mighty Commodores... no, seriously. Also, what in the world is happening at Penn State? Is Texas actually good? Maybe this is actually Miami's year? Can I frame another topic in the form of a question? I could, but I won't. We talk more college ball, MLB playoffs, and WNBA finals, too. TD has pretty much given up on the Ravens. Greg's Cowboys get a win, and the NFL has a sneaky good weekend.

Yet another fantastic weekend of football, highlighted by the Tide's win in Athens. We also discuss yet another Jame Franklin flop, Ole Miss' big win over LSU, 5-0 Vandy, and a wild Friday night that saw Virginia upset Florida State, and Arizona State and Houston comeback wins. TD also laments what is looking like a disastrous season for the Ravens, and we get Greg's live reactions to the Cowboys' thriller with Green Bay. There's also a little WNBA, MLB, some fired coaches, and other stuff.

A disappointing end to an otherwise fantastic Alabama hoops season, for both the men and women. There were records and hearts broken this week for the kids in crimson, but we are in a golden age of Alabama basketball. Elsewhere, the men's Final Four is all chalk, and the women's side is the same. There's also some talk of the Frozen Four, MLB opening weekend, NCAA coaching moves and NFL offseason moves, and a little more.

Then we cover Alabama's hiring of Ryan Grubb as offensive coordinator, Chip Kelly going to work for Pete Carroll, and talk about what Philly needs to do to upset the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. We even wrap up with a little Royal Rumble talk.

TD tries to find the words to recap a heartbreaking Ravens loss in Buffalo, on the way to covering the NFL Divisional round. We also hit on Alabama hoops and their bad loss to Ole Miss and great rebound win at Kentucky. Then we talk a little college basketball in general and give a stock report on the NBA, including a mid-season look into our personal teams (the Mavs and Pels). There's a quick look ahead to the CFP National Championship between Ohio State and Notre Dame, too. There's other stuff, too.

Reminder: The BCS Was Crap

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 23:48:00 -0400

A relatively short affair for us this week, as we focus mostly on the first round of the CFP. We also take time to tell a lot of whiny college football fans to shut up and enjoy the sport they claim to love, and remind them that the BCS was not actually all that great. We also cover an important weekend in the NFL, and opine on our favorite Christmas movies.

Not Even Santa Can Help Alabama Now

Mon, 09 Dec 2024 01:10:00 -0400

Is the College Football Playoff really the College Football Playoff is Alabama isn't involved? We ponder that question, as well as go over the inaugural 12-team CFP field, give our thoughts on the teams involved and where they're seeded, the first round matchups and potential matchups down the road, who got a good draw (Georgia) and who got the shaft (Oregon, Tennessee... and Notre Dame?), and a whole lot of other playoff this and that. Then we look back at our preseason predictions and see how we did, which, surprisingly, wasn't half-bad.

We also cover a good week for Bama hoops and SEC basketball as a whole, have a quick NFL chat, and some other stuff.

FIVE

Mon, 02 Dec 2024 01:36:00 -0400

It took two decades, but we finally have recompense for our terrible Iron Bowl experiences as students. Along with reveling in that Alabama victory, we talk Ohio State's losing streak to Michigan, that crazy Georgia/Georgia Tech game (and once again why the overtime format is terrible), Miami's crushing loss, the wild and wonderful Big 12, if teams like Bama and Miami feel playoff-worthy, and all that fighting. that was going on this weekend. We also cover next week's championship schedule, Justin Tucker's miserable year, a busy week for Bama hoops, and a lot more.

We were gonna record an episode, but then we decided not to show up. No, wait, that was Alabama at Oklahoma. Along with that wonderful display of football, we talk about the rest of a crazy weekend on both the college and pro gridiron, what that means for various conference and playoff races, and what to look forward to as Rivalry Week descends upon us. We also cover a good win for Bama hoops, with a big week ahead of them. There also NBA chat, but that's less fun.

This week we cover some moving and shaking in the standings in both the college and pro game.

Bye Weeks Are Nice

Mon, 04 Nov 2024 00:12:00 -0400

How relaxing it is to watch chaos unfold while your team relaxes and takes a weekend off. This week we talk about yet another Ohio State win over Penn State, and what it means for James Franklin and the Nittany Lions. We also cover a Saturday full of upsets, including South Carolina over Texas A&M, and Texas Tech over Iowa State, Louisville over Clemson. There's also Diego Pavia's continued dominance of Hugh Freeze, which leads us to discuss why Auburn thinks Freeze deserves more chances than Bryan Harsin; Carson Beck's interception problem and how it might affect Georgia going forward; and, of course, the wild and wonderful world of Big 12 football.

Additionally, we touch on a fun NFL Sunday, the World Series, the early NBA season, and look forward to the most hyped season in Alabama basketball history.

The title will make sense after you listen to the end of the show. This week we talk about: Bama's shutout win over Missouri; Texas A&M's big win; the continued success of Indiana, BYU, Pitt, and Iowa State; why the Big 12 is just so damn fun; Greg rants about Big Noon Saturday; and we wonder why Auburn didn't build their offense around Jarquez Hunter sooner. We also cover a weird NFL Sunday, the World Series living up to its hype, the NBA tipping off, and we both cuss the terrible Titans front office out while asking why the rest of the league continues to help the damn Chiefs.

Hollywood Williams > Hollywood Hogan

Mon, 30 Sep 2024 00:30:00 -0400

What a couple weeks in the world of sports. Naturally, we lead off with the instant classic between Alabama and Georgia -- The Tide's roaring start, Jalen Milroe's Heisman breakout game, Ryan "Hollywood" Williams' grand entrance on the national stage, Georgia's furious comeback, the insane final minutes, and what the result means for each team going forward. We also hit on Kentucky's upset of Ole Miss, Auburn's disastrous start to SEC play, the wild ride that is the Big 12, the Heisman race starting to take shape, Michigan forsaking the forward pass and thriving, and some off-field drama out west.

In addition, we talk about a weird first month in the NFL, the ultimate Woj Bomb, KAT is headed to New York, and some MLB playoffs.

Mon, 26 Aug 2024 00:29:00 -0400

Well, folks, it's that time of year where we predict conference winners and national champions and then by the time October rolls around half of those predictions are already wrong. We give you champs for every FBS conference, and talk about some surprise teams and teams we think will disappoint in the four major conferences. We also do the same for the College Football Playoff, predicting the National Champion, and going over a few teams we think might find some surprising playoff success, or will disappoint and fall below expectations. We also react to a pretty fun Week 0, highlighted by Georgia Tech's upset of #10 Florida State.

This week we cover all things Alabama and SEC football, so we hope you're ready for a LONG episode. We preview the Crimson Tide's transition into the Kalen DeBoer era, including what we expect to see from his offense, how the defense will look post-Saban, and what would make a successful first season. Then we move on to the rest of the SEC and discuss who our elite teams are, who we see as contenders, the solid squads, and the fanbases who need to look to the future.

Where's Our Max Deal?

Tue, 02 Jul 2024 00:07:00 -0400

So, if you follow us on social media you know we had some technical issues with teh recording Sunday night, and were forced to re-record Monday night. Well, this one has some issues, too, though not as bad. There's about a 5-minute period in the middle of the show where TD disappears and it seems like Greg is answering the questions in his head. We'll see if something can be done to fix that, but in the meantime you get the majority of the show. We chat NBA off-season moves, the Olympics, Texas/Texas A&M, Kalen Deboer's recruiting, and more.
