The Next Round features Jim Dunaway, Ryan Brown, Lance Taylor and Rockstar as they discuss the latest stories in sports and entertainment. Come for the sports, stay for the humor and when the final song plays, you'll be longing for more.
The Next Round podcast is a show that I never miss on weekdays. Having listened to them for over a decade, I can confidently say that they are the poster children for doing a podcast right. The weekly interviews with guests such as Wimp, Todd Fuhrman, Clay Travis, and others keep the show fresh and exciting. I first discovered them when I lived in Birmingham many years ago and caught them on WJOX. Since then, I have continued to listen to them online and love their new format since they went on their own.
One of the best aspects of The Next Round podcast is the talent, knowledge, chemistry, and ability of the hosts to not take themselves too seriously. They have created a show that sets the standard in sports radio. Their sound quality is top-notch, leaving FM radio and most other podcasts in the dirt. The ads on the show are necessary to pay the bills, but they are never overwhelming or excessive. In fact, compared to terrestrial broadcasts, it feels like there are fewer ads per hour. This allows more time for engaging content and discussions.
On the downside, some listeners may find that The Next Round podcast has too many ads. However, this is a minor inconvenience considering how well the hosts deliver their content and keep listeners entertained. Additionally, with podcasts, it is easy to fast forward through ads if desired.
In conclusion, The Next Round podcast is without a doubt one of the best shows out there for sports fans, especially those who love football. They provide comprehensive reviews and previews of games from all angles while also incorporating robust gambling previews from LT every week. What sets this show apart is not just its sports talk but also its hilarious off-topic conversations that keep listeners entertained throughout the four-hour show. Having listened to these guys for years now, it feels like they are part of my daily life. I highly recommend diving into The Next Round podcast for an enjoyable listening experience.

There is a lot happening in Alabama sports right now, and this video hits the biggest storylines from both basketball and football. We start with the controversy at Auburn, where Bruce Pearl retired in September 2025 and Steven Pearl took over as head coach, a move that has sparked heavy criticism over nepotism. ESPN reported Bruce's retirement and Steven's succession last fall, and that debate has resurfaced this week with Paul Finebaum calling Bruce Pearl's public comments about helping his son get the job “pretty embarrassing.” From there, we turn to the SEC Tournament, where Alabama is sitting in a strong position in Nashville. The official bracket has Alabama on the double-bye line, while the tournament runs March 11–15 at Bridgestone Arena. That sets up a huge opportunity for the Crimson Tide to make a deep run while the rest of the league fights through the early rounds. Then it is over to Alabama football spring practice, where one of the biggest storylines is the quarterback competition between Keelon Russell and Austin Mack. On3 highlighted that battle as one of the top spring questions for the Tide, while also noting that wide receiver Ryan Williams is now going by Ryan Coleman-Williams. 247Sports also reflected the updated name and the quarterback storyline in its recent Alabama spring coverage. We also dig into the bigger concern around Alabama's offense: experience. With spring practice underway, there is real attention on the rebuilt offensive line and how quickly the new-look unit can come together around whichever quarterback wins the job. That is the kind of issue that can define Alabama's ceiling in 2026. Finally, we zoom out to the national college sports picture, where Nick Saban and Urban Meyer were both part of a recent high-profile White House roundtable focused on issues facing college athletics, including NIL and the broader structure of the sport. That makes this conversation bigger than just Alabama and Auburn, because the entire model of college sports is still shifting in real time.

SEC basketball is heating up as we head toward March, and SEC Network analyst Dane Bradshaw joins The Next Round to break down the biggest storylines in the conference. From the intensity of the Alabama vs. Auburn rivalry to the rising dominance of Florida, there's a lot to unpack as the SEC Tournament approaches. In this conversation, Dane Bradshaw dives into Alabama's impressive win over Auburn and what it says about both teams heading into postseason play. What exactly is going wrong for Steven Pearl's Tigers right now? After high expectations throughout the season, Auburn has struggled to find consistency—is it too late to fix what's ailing Auburn? We also take a deep look at Alabama basketball and why the Crimson Tide's elite backcourt makes them one of the most dangerous teams in the SEC and beyond. With their guard play clicking at the right time, could Alabama be a serious threat to make a deep run in the SEC Tournament and possibly the NCAA Tournament? And then there's Florida. The Gators have been on an incredible run, raising the big question across the conference: Can anyone actually beat Florida in the SEC Tournament? Dane shares his insight on what makes the Gators so tough and which teams might have the best chance to challenge them. If you're a fan of SEC basketball, Alabama basketball, Auburn basketball, Florida basketball, March Madness, and the SEC Tournament, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.

Cam Coleman at Texas spring practice The Auburn Tigers visit to the Alabama Crimson Tide went about as bad as it could for Auburn Basketball and as well as it could for Alabama Basketball Saturday night. The Tide steamrolled The Tigers early and coasted to a 96-84 win. The win for Alabama earns the two seed in the SEC Tournament meaning Alabama does not play again until Friday Night. The win also has Alabama as a 3-Seed in most NCAA Tournament projections. What do you think the Tide must do to hold that spot? The situation for Auburn is much more dire. The Tigers are now 16-15 overall and 7-11 in SEC play. They are the 12-seed in the SEC Tournament this week and squarely on the Bubble.

Alabama Basketball is once again in the NCAA Tournament conversation, but how far can Nate Oats and the Crimson Tide really go in March? In this video, we break down Alabama's current tournament outlook, why many experts see the Tide as a 3-seed or 4-seed, and what it will take for this team to make another Sweet 16 run — or even more. We discuss Alabama's national standing as a top-16 caliber team, the importance of this weekend's showdown with Auburn for seeding, and why this game could have major March implications. We also dive into the biggest strengths and weaknesses for this Alabama team, including their elite scoring ability, three-point-heavy style, and the biggest concern of all: rebounding and frontcourt play. Can Alabama overcome its issues on the glass? Is Aiden Sherrell the answer in the post? And can Nate Oats lead the Tide to another deep NCAA Tournament run?

Alabama football is entering a new chapter under Kalen DeBoer, but is the defense ready for what's coming in the SEC? In this video, we break down the biggest concerns surrounding the Alabama Crimson Tide defense as the program moves deeper into the DeBoer era.

We discuss:

Joe Lunardi's latest Bracketology The Alabama Crimson Tide is coming off their road win at The Tennessee Volunteers and now must follow it up with a road win at the Georgia Bulldogs where Alabama Basketball is favored by 1.5 points. With a win, Alabama locks up second place in the SEC The Crimson Tide (12-4) holds the tie breakout over Arkansas Basketball and is two games clear of the next group at 10-6 so, a tie would favor Alabama. This would also guarantee the SEC Tournament Double Bye, meaning Bama will not play until Friday in Nashville Could Alabama also be playing for an NCAA Tournament 3-Seed?

SEC Network analyst and Tennessee Volunteers legend Ron Slay joins The Next Round for a loaded breakdown of the biggest storylines in SEC basketball!

Josh Pate gave us who he thinks are the eight most hated teams in college football. Who do you think does or does not belong in that discussion? Evaluating Steven Pearl in his first season as a Head Coach The Alabama Crimson Tide went on the road to The Tennessee Volunteers to whom Alabama Basketball had lost five straight and stunned Tennessee Basketball 71-69. The Crimson Tide did not lead until the final 24 seconds but got an huge road win. Alabama is now in second place alone in the SEC with the Arkansas Razorbacks in third. The Crimson Tide (12-4) holds the tie breakout over Arkansas Basketball and is two games clear of the next group at 10-6. This essentially locks the Tide into the SEC Tournament Double Bye, meaning they will not play until Friday. PLUS, LT's Trash presented by Bud Light!

Former Alabama national championship quarterback Jake Coker joins Mick Gillespie for a wide-ranging conversation on the current state of Alabama football, the impact of the transfer portal and NIL, and whether Alabama is investing enough to stay on top in today's college sports landscape. The discussion opens with a look ahead to Alabama spring practice, including the players Coker is most excited to watch. He talks about both quarterbacks, highlights Jase McClellan as one of the most dynamic athletes on the offense, and explains why McClellan's loyalty to Alabama stands out in the NIL era. They also break down the biggest concern for the Tide heading into the season: the offensive line, where a lack of continuity could be a major issue. Mick and Jake also share memories from some of their favorite Alabama football games, including the LSU national championship win, the Rocky Stop against Tennessee, Alabama's title run with Coker, the 2009 SEC Championship Game, and the 1996 Iron Bowl. The conversation also revisits legendary Alabama defensive back George Teague and two of his most iconic football moments. Later, the show takes a strong turn into the changing economics of college athletics. Mick and Jake discuss how NIL, the transfer portal, and overall program spending are reshaping the future of college football. They debate whether Alabama must focus more of its financial resources on revenue-producing sports to avoid slipping behind the national elite. They also dive into Alabama basketball, with praise for Nate Oats and discussion about whether this team can make another deep postseason run. Plus, they touch on roster questions, March expectations, and how this year's group compares to Alabama's Final Four squad. If you're passionate about Alabama Crimson Tide football, SEC football, college football NIL, and the future of Alabama athletics, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.

The United States Men's Hockey team won gold for only the third time in Winter Olympics history Sunday. The 2-1 OT win caps an incredible Olympics for the US men's and women's teams. The Auburn Tigers found themselves on Joe Lunardi's NCAA Tournament cut line Saturday morning, that was one of the stories leading into their game with the Kentucky Wildcats, making it feel even more impactful. Auburn Basketball fought from behind in the second half to secure a 75-74 win and break a five game losing skid. The game was not without controversy on both sides as Kentucky Basketball was the beneficiary of two questionable fouls at the end of the first half while Auburn benefited from a call at the end of the game. It was the final call that had Mark Pope steaming after his news conference. The Alabama Crimson Tide got a 90-83 road win at LSU Saturday. Alabama Basketball had five players in double figures en route to the win. This came on the heels of Alabama being left out of the NCAA selection committee's top 16 teams. Committee co-chair Martin Newton indicated Alabama and Arkansas are just on the outside looking in. The NCAA Selection Committee released their Top 16 seeds just before Saturday's games. Only Florida and Vanderbilt were an-momma the 16, yet KenPom has the SEC still rated as the best conference in the nation. Which is more accurate?

Alabama Athletics is bringing in $147 million in operating revenue and spending $82 million—yet the Tide still feels behind in NIL compared to programs like Texas, Ohio State, Texas A&M, LSU, and Texas Tech. In this episode, we break down the numbers, the priorities, and why some fans believe Greg Byrne must make tough decisions before Alabama loses its edge in college football. We dig into where the money comes from—ticket sales ($42M), contributions ($53M), media rights ($28M), postseason ($13M)—and where it goes—head coach ($11M), assistants ($14M+), support staff ($7M), facilities ($7.5M), game expenses ($7.5M+), recruiting ($4M+). Then we get into the biggest debate: Title IX in a new era of NIL and potential revenue-sharing, including the idea of Alabama having $20.5 million to “play with” under a new model. The conversation gets heated when we look at the losses across non-revenue sports—women's basketball (nearly -$5M), gymnastics (-$2M+), baseball (-$4.4M+), plus eye-opening spending gaps like women's rowing and women's track & field. One side argues these sports must become more financially responsible; the other side warns the real issue is simple: if Alabama won't spend at a championship NIL level, Bama risks falling behind. One host puts a number on it: to truly compete with the top spenders, Alabama may need $50M roster-level investment—or the Tide won't be able to retain elite talent and keep winning titles. Do you think Alabama is spending enough to win championships in the NIL era? Drop your take in the comments.

How will Alabama finish their last 5 games of the regular season? The Auburn Tigers are coming off a 91-85 road loss to Mississippi State Wednesday night, their fifth in a row. Auburn Basketball now turns their attention to the Kentucky Wildcats who are coming off a home loss to the Georgia Bulldogs. Auburn and Kentucky Basketball tip at 7:30 on ESPN.
