Disaster strikes the Enterprise in two different ways this week on Transporter Room 3, with our reviews of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' "Off-Hour" and "Like Chronitons Through the Hourglass."The former is "24 meets The Poseidon Adventure" in space, and the latter puts Pike and his crew into a soap opera. No, really. One we really liked, the other we have some questions about. News wise? We have a small update on what could be the next Star Trek movie, which seems to be going in a very Crimson Tide direction. We also stop by the Replimat and prep another photon tube for this week's Red Shirt. So watch out for slipstream wormholes and listen now!
Alabama Football is finally back, and one of the most intriguing players to watch Saturday is five-star freshman running back EJ Crowell. Could the talented newcomer eventually become the Crimson Tide's next great running back in the mold of Damien Harris or Josh Jacobs? Alabama has been searching for another game-changing presence in the backfield after several seasons without the dominant rushing attacks fans became accustomed to during the Nick Saban era. Crowell brings the size, explosiveness and recruiting pedigree to potentially change that — but how quickly can he make an impact alongside Daniel Hill, Kevin Riley, AK Dear and Trae'shawn Brown? We're also playing SEC Buy or Sell, breaking down expectations for some of the biggest programs in the conference entering the season. Our daily 4 Downs presented by Central Alabama Asphalt!

Alabama football is back, and Last Call is breaking down everything surrounding the Crimson Tide's season opener against East Carolina at Bryant-Denny Stadium. How will Kalen DeBoer, Ryan Grubb and Alabama handle an ECU team coming off a nine-win season and a Military Bowl victory? And with the heat index potentially reaching 110–111 degrees in Tuscaloosa, could the weather become one of the biggest stories of Week 1? The guys dive into the biggest Alabama football questions entering the opener, including Keelon Russell's first start at quarterback, expectations for the Crimson Tide offense, the competition along the offensive line, Alabama's running back depth and whether the Tide can establish the physical running game they'll need once SEC play arrives. They also discuss Alabama's wide receiver room, the importance of explosive plays in Ryan Grubb's offense, what the Crimson Tide need to learn from these early-season “tuneup” games and why the first two weeks could be critical before Alabama faces Florida State. Plus, the conversation expands to the biggest controversy in college football: LSU, the SEC and the push to bring former professional players back into college football. Could the ongoing dispute lead to unprecedented action from the SEC? And what does the situation say about the transfer portal, NIL, player movement and the increasingly chaotic free-agency era of college football?
Chuck is reconsidering the possibility of Clemson being able to pull a stunner at LSU. Chuck and Heath discuss why the setup is perfect for Dabo Swinney to reestablish his program's brand, but his Tigers have been bad in recent openers.

Alabama Football general manager Courtney Morgan is pushing back on the narrative that the Crimson Tide can't—or won't—spend big money on its roster. “We are very cautious and risk averse,” Morgan said while making it clear: Alabama isn't broke. We break down what Morgan's comments reveal about Alabama's approach to NIL, roster construction and player evaluation under Kalen DeBoer. Has Alabama found a more sustainable strategy by investing in players like Keelon Russell, Lotzeir Brooks, Michael Carroll, Dijon Lee and Luke Metz rather than simply trying to outbid everyone in college football? Plus, there's a significant roster development at Auburn. Wide receiver Erick Smith is no longer with the Tigers, leaving Alex Golesh with additional questions about his WR depth just before the 2026 season. Could sophomore Sam Turner emerge as Auburn's surprise seventh receiver?

Former Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback and national champion Jake Coker joins Mick Gillispie for a deep dive into the latest Alabama Football storylines, led by Kalen DeBoer officially naming Keelon Russell the Crimson Tide's starting quarterback. Coker gives a former QB's perspective on what happens behind the scenes when a coach names his starter, sharing stories from his own private conversations with Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher. He also explains why Austin Mack still has to prepare like Alabama's starter every single week — because a backup quarterback is always just one play away. The guys also break down Alabama's projected offensive line, why continuity and chemistry up front are so important for pass protection, the latest Crimson Tide injury updates, and the competitive kicking battle between Graham Nicholson and Conor Talty. Plus, Jake and Mick discuss the changing landscape of NCAA eligibility and roster rules, including the possibility of players with NFL experience returning to college football. And it wouldn't be a conversation with Jake Coker without getting off the football field. The guys get into Charles Barkley and Larry Bird stories, Dwight Yoakam, Billy Bob Thornton, the legendary Kenny Chesney Flora-Bama concert, golf, smoking brisket and why Jake would rather spend a weekend with his family than five hours on the golf course.

The Alabama Crimson Tide have their starting quarterback — and it's Keelon Russell. The former five-star recruit beat out senior Austin Mack during fall camp and will take over an Alabama offense that lost Ty Simpson to the NFL Draft.

What should Alabama fans expect from Russell as QB1? What former Crimson Tide quarterback does his game remind us of? And how high is the ceiling for Kalen DeBoer's Alabama offense with Russell behind center? We also dive into several huge stories around the SEC:

Former Alabama Crimson Tide national championship quarterback Jake Coker joins Mick Gillispie on another episode of Last Call to break down the biggest storylines coming out of Alabama Football fall camp — including the battle between Keelon Russell and Austin Mack, injuries in the Crimson Tide running back room, emerging playmakers and much more. Who has the edge in the Alabama quarterback competition? Coker and Gillispie discuss what Keelon Russell's ability to create outside the pocket could mean in his battle with Austin Mack, while also looking at the competition and chemistry developing along the Alabama offensive line. The guys also dive into the Crimson Tide's running back depth, the impact of AK Dear's injury, and the players getting opportunities to step up. Plus, they discuss the development of Ryan Williams and Daniel Hill as Alabama searches for its next wave of offensive playmakers. Coker also shares some incredible memories of Derrick Henry's legendary work ethic at Alabama, including the kind of weight-room dedication that helped turn Henry into one of the most physically dominant running backs in college football and the NFL. Then the conversation shifts to Baton Rouge and the growing controversy involving Jayden Daniels and LSU's No. 5 jersey. Coker explains why he believes the program should always be bigger than one individual player and compares the situation to his own experience wearing No. 14 at Alabama, a number previously worn by Crimson Tide names including Don Hutson, Steve Sloan, Tyler Watts and John Parker Wilson.
