    On this episode of Last Call, Mick Gillispie and former Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Jake Coker break down the biggest changes happening across college sports — and what they could mean for Alabama Football, Kalen DeBoer, recruiting, NIL, and the future of college athletics. The guys discuss the NCAA's new “five-for-five” eligibility rule, why Jake Coker believes the old redshirt system was outdated, and how modern college athletes are entering programs more prepared than ever. They also react to NCAA reform allowing transitioning FCS programs immediate postseason eligibility, including possible bowl and College Football Playoff access. The conversation then turns to the Protect College Sports Act, federal NIL legislation backed by Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell, Nick Saban's continued influence as one of the leading voices in college football, and how revenue sharing could help Alabama stay competitive against programs like Ohio State and Texas. Plus, Mick and Jake dive into Alabama's recruiting strategy under Kalen DeBoer, the balance between five-star high school talent and transfer portal experience, how coaching connections impact portal recruiting, and what Alabama must do to keep landing elite players. Also on the show:MLB Draft changes that could impact college baseball, Alabama Baseball's recent World Series run, Pearl River Resort, Patriot Roofing, mosquito swarms, cicadas at the ballpark, and recent guests including Richard Karn, Greg Valentine, and Reggie Smith.

    Nick Saban once watched a man throw back every big fish he caught, keeping only the small ones. The reason stopped me cold: the guy only had a nine inch frying pan at home. In this episode, I use that story to challenge you to look honestly at the size of your own mental foundation, because your capacity to think, to believe, and to handle opportunity determines everything you keep and everything you release. The lesson here is not just about catching bigger fish. It is about becoming someone who can actually do something with them when they show up. Key Takeaways Your mental capacity, not your circumstances, determines which opportunities you keep and which you throw back. Limiting beliefs are often embedded early and run quietly in the background. Recognizing them is the first step to outgrowing them. The people closest to you can often see your blind spots better than you can. Asking them is not weakness. It is strategy. Stagnation is not always your fault, but staying stagnant is your responsibility to address. The clearest sign you need a bigger foundation is when what you are capable of only feeds you and nobody else around you. Action Steps Identify one area where you have been consistently rejecting or avoiding big opportunities and write down the belief that is driving that pattern. Reach out to one trusted person this week and specifically ask them: where do you see me thinking too small? Reframe your growth target by asking whether your current capacity can produce results that benefit not just you but the people depending on you. Notable Quote There are probably limitations you have simply because it has never crossed your mind that it could be better.

    Topher Gardner is the founder of Black Gold Biochar, a regenerative builder, a lifelong bodyworker, and a former Division I football kicker who has actually walked the path most spiritual seekers only theorize about. He played at Michigan State under Nick Saban, spent three more years in pro leagues, and rebuilt the body football broke through Rolfing and yoga. That work took him to southern India, where he served as operations director of an ashram before the new age yoga world wore him out. He landed in Costa Rica, where for nearly two decades he built domes, taught regenerative agriculture, partook in fifty-plus ayahuasca journeys, studied true sidereal astrology with John Lamb Lash, and found the work that now anchors his life: biochar.The conversation moves the way Topher's mind moves, between cosmology and concrete, between Wilhelm Reich's writing on why we build idols just to slay them and the chemistry of why a 2,000-degree kiln in the Missouri Ozarks turns hardwood waste into the most stable carbon you can put in soil. We get into the suppressed Christ archetype hidden in Ophiuchus, why the distinction between self and other is the actual purpose of incarnation, what ten years inside the ayahuasca world taught him about variability over devotion, and why the carbon they trained us to fear is the same carbon our bodies and our land are starving for.

They also discuss Nick Saban calling on Congress to help save college football, Mike Leach landing on the College Football Hall of Fame ballot, Virginia Tech receiving a massive $75 million donation, North Dakota getting caught tampering in one of the dumbest ways imaginable, UCLA's Karson Gordon entering the transfer portal as a track athlete, and Virginia vs. NC State being moved from Brazil back to Charlottesville.

    On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT reacts to Brendon Sorsby's eligibility battle and explains how his court victory may have exposed just how little power the NCAA actually has in modern college sports. Has college athletics become a loophole economy where every punishment, eligibility ruling, and NCAA decision is now negotiated in court? JT also discusses why Nick Saban is right about college football needing structure despite fans refusing to separate the message from the messenger, why Georgia's offense may be Kirby Smart's biggest blind spot as the SEC talent gap continues to shrink, and whether Oregon's repeated postseason failures point to a deeper identity problem under Dan Lanning. Plus, JT breaks down why Dallas Wilson could become one of college football's biggest breakout stars for Florida, why Florida State risks becoming the next Nebraska if the program keeps relying on its history more than its current results, and why Bryce Underwood finally has a legitimate chance to live up to the hype now that Michigan has surrounded him with a more stable coaching staff, a quarterback-friendly offense, and the developmental structure he lacked as a freshman.

    1. Jill Biden and President Joe Biden Jill Biden’s remarks about President Biden’s debate performance. She feared he may have been having a stroke, arguing that: Her actions afterward (campaign event, public praise, restaurant visit) contradict that concern. This suggests either exaggeration or dishonesty. Claims that President Biden experienced cognitive decline. Allegations that political leaders and media knowingly concealed this. Media organizations and Democratic officials were aware of Biden’s alleged condition. There was a coordinated effort to hide or minimize it. They frame this as an example of: Political power being prioritized over transparency. A broader credibility problem in U.S. politics. 2. U.S. Shipbuilding and National Security Key points: Heavy reliance on foreign-built ships is presented as a national security risk. A major funding initiative (~$24 billion) for the U.S. Coast Guard is described. Investment includes: New ships and helicopters Arctic icebreakers Shipyard construction (notably in Texas) Claimed benefits: Increased domestic manufacturing Job creation (thousands of jobs) Strategic competition with China and Russia in the Arctic The senator describes: Internal negotiations over where shipbuilding contracts would go (Texas vs. Louisiana). Involvement of the White House and President Trump (in this narrative timeline). Emphasis is placed on: Negotiation strategy Achieving a “win-win” outcome Expanding production beyond initial goals 3. College Sports Crisis and NIL Issues Problems identified: Escalating athlete compensation (tens of millions per team) Transfer portal instability Financial losses for universities Elimination of non-revenue sports (e.g., tennis, Olympic sports) Proposed solution: A bipartisan bill called the “Protect College Sports Act” Supporting arguments: College sports provide educational opportunities for disadvantaged students They promote social unity and personal development Includes testimony from Nick Saban highlighting unsustainable financial trends.

Brooks gives his full perspective on which college football coaches are under the most pressure heading into the season, including a deep dive on Florida State head coach Mike Norvell.

    In this June Q&A episode, we open up the Verballer mailbag and start looking ahead to preview season with some early college football summer loves. Which teams are we already talking ourselves into before the magazines arrive? Which programs are interesting, dangerous, confusing or just fun enough to pique our interest as the 2026 season gets closer? We also dig into first-time College Football Playoff possibilities, the rising risk of major transfer portal investments, and whether Curt Cignetti’s championship run at Indiana was more impressive than anything Nick Saban or Kirby Smart ever did in a single season. Plus, we talk through what fans of rebuilding teams should actually look for in Year 1, why playoff expansion arguments still feel slippery, and which players or teams are perfect for showing off at a June cookout. And, naturally, the episode eventually drifts into Brendan Fraser playing Dwight Eisenhower in a D-Day weather drama, bad old predictions, Drake Lindsey discourse, Arkansas despair, and Dan’s ongoing effort to make Ty regret his phrasing.

    Former Alabama quarterback Jake Coker joins the discussion as college athletics faces major changes with the proposed Protect College Sports Act, a bipartisan effort from Senators Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell aimed at reshaping the future of the NCAA, NIL, the transfer portal, athlete eligibility, and revenue sharing. In this episode, Jake Coker and the crew break down the biggest issues in college sports today: should athletes be limited to one transfer? Should college eligibility be capped at five years? Should former professional athletes be allowed to compete in college sports? And could revenue sharing and NIL changes put non-revenue sports like softball, baseball, and other spring sports at risk? Jake also shares his perspective as a former Alabama quarterback, explaining why he believes transfer restrictions could help athletes build accountability, handle adversity, and develop within a program. Plus, the guys celebrate a big week for Alabama athletics, including the Alabama softball team's dramatic postseason comeback win over UCLA and Alabama baseball's explosive playoff performance. The conversation also turns nostalgic as Jake Coker looks back on Alabama's dominant 38-10 win over Georgia in 2015, his playing career, a memorable trick play involving Kelvin Benjamin, and the lasting impact of elite coaches like Nick Saban and Kirby Smart on college football programs.

    In this episode, we introduce a new game called “Bed or Built,” where we take some of college football’s most repeated narratives and decide whether it’s time to put them to bed or if they’re still built to last. With the 2026 season creeping closer, we sort through the stories that have followed programs, coaches and fan bases for years, and ask which ones still make sense in the current version of the sport. We dig into Mario Cristobal and Miami, Matt Rhule’s turnaround reputation, Lane Kiffin’s chaos factor, Ryan Day’s “born on third base” label, Texas A&M’s hard ceiling, Oregon’s late-season hurdle, Clemson’s attempts to adapt, James Franklin’s big-game baggage and the difficulty of following Nick Saban at Alabama. Along the way, we get into the transfer portal, coaching hires, College Football Playoff expectations, roster-building, fan perception and how quickly old narratives can become outdated.
