It's one of the biggest games of the Week 5 college football schedule: No. 7 Alabama heads to Starkville to battle No. 16 Mississippi State in a showdown of undefeated SEC teams, and we're breaking it all down LIVE! Both Alabama and Mississippi State enter Saturday at 4-0 overall and 2-0 in SEC play, setting up a fascinating quarterback matchup between Crimson Tide star Keelon Russell and Mississippi State phenom Kamario Taylor. Can Taylor and the Bulldogs protect home field at Davis Wade Stadium, or will Alabama continue its unbeaten start on the road? We dive deep into Alabama vs. Mississippi State, including how potentially rainy conditions could impact the game, playing and throwing in wet weather, memories of past rain-soaked games involving Alabama and Derrick Henry, and whether either offense will have to adjust its approach. We also break down the weapons surrounding the quarterbacks, including Ryan Coleman-Williams and Lotzeir Brooks, the battle in the trenches, Alabama's physicality, Mississippi State's explosive offense, blocking and offensive-line play, coaching adjustments and the biggest keys that could decide this SEC showdown. Plus, the guys give their score predictions and explain why they expect a competitive game in Starkville. Then it's time for more Week 5 college football picks and predictions, including:

Connor O'Gara is joined by Jim Dunaway for a loaded edition of The Connor O'Gara Show, breaking down the biggest college football stories heading into a huge SEC weekend. The spotlight starts in Starkville, where No. 7 Alabama visits No. 16 Mississippi State in a battle of unbeaten SEC teams. The matchup features two of college football's most exciting 19-year-old quarterbacks: Alabama's Keelon Russell and Mississippi State's Kamario Taylor. Connor and Jim break down Taylor's poise, Russell's rapid rise, the challenge of playing at Davis Wade Stadium and why Bulldogs running back Fluff Bothwell could be a major factor in Mississippi State's upset hopes. Then it's time for a full Heisman Trophy debate. Where do Kamario Taylor, Keelon Russell, Ole Miss QB Trinidad Chambliss, Florida RB Jadan Baugh, Miami QB Darian Mensah and Ohio State superstar Jeremiah Smith belong in the early race? The guys also discuss Arch Manning, Gunner Stockton and Missouri QB Austin Simmons as the SEC's Heisman picture continues to evolve. The conversation shifts to some of the SEC's biggest early-season disappointments. What has gone wrong for Oklahoma QB John Mateer, Texas A&M QB Marcel Reed and Auburn QB Byrum Brown? How much pressure is building around South Carolina and Shane Beamer as LaNorris Sellers struggles? And why hasn't Texas gotten more production from talented transfer wide receiver Cam Coleman? Connor and Jim also discuss the people they respect most in college football media, including Rece Davis, Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit, before reacting to Northwestern's new 35,000-seat Ryan Field and debating whether SEC stadiums would actually benefit from becoming smaller, louder and more intimate. The show closes on a personal note as Connor reflects on the loss of his family's 14-year-old cat, Rudy, and Jim shares memories of his family dog, Baxter, along with perspective on helping families and pets through loss.

Louisiana, Alabama, and Arkansas have filed two lawsuits targeting abortion shield laws and the providers who mail abortion pills into states where abortion is banned. Imani examines how the states use fetal personhood to describe their alleged injuries, whether the Supreme Court is likely to hear their case, and what today's shield-law fight has in common with the personal liberty laws Northern states used to resist the Fugitive Slave Act.

UGASports.com insider and reporter Radi Nabulsi talks about the Jared Curtis storyline dominating the lead up to Vanderbilt-UGA, if the weather will have a major impact on the game, some of the injuries that Georgia is dealing with, if there's any concern of a trap-game with Alabama looming the week after, the hype surrounding Alabama-Mississippi State, UGA's wide receiver room stepping up, and Chris Cole's performance against Oklahoma.

On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT gives his College Football Week 5 predictions and breaks down five of the biggest matchups on the schedule, starting with Alabama's dangerous road trip to Mississippi State. Can Kamario Taylor and Jeff Lebby attack the same explosive-play weakness Florida State exposed, or will Alabama's pass rush and superior talent eventually take over late? JT also previews Florida vs Missouri and explains why Austin Simmons and Mizzou may present the most complete SEC test Jon Sumrall's Gators have faced so far, even with Florida's dominant run game and ability to win in multiple ways. Can Iowa force Ohio State into four quarters of ugly football and turn field position into its best offensive weapon, or will Jeremiah Smith and the Buckeyes create too much margin for error? JT also breaks down Auburn vs Tennessee, where Alex Golesh returns to Rocky Top and Jim Knowles' defense could make life miserable for Byrum Brown in another low-scoring SEC fight. Plus, Miami vs Clemson becomes a test of how far apart the Hurricanes and Tigers really are, with Darian Mensah and Malachi Toney leading a Miami offense that could force Tait Reynolds into a game Clemson isn't built to win. All that plus trap-game alerts, upset angles, spread picks, CFP implications, and JT's final score predictions for College Football Week 5.

Chuck starts the show today with the "historic" matchup between Mississippi State and Alabama, and how one SEC program is still trying to grasp its identity. We then look at Mississippi State with Brian Hadad from SportsTalk Mississippi.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Geeks return with a brand-new Grumpy Old Geeks Wiki containing 21,577 static HTML pages, because apparently the appropriate response to having a massive podcast archive is to build an even more massive searchable monument to it. From there, things get considerably less wholesome as they dig into TikTok's settlement with Alabama, AI companies promising safeguards while simultaneously unleashing increasingly autonomous agents, and an OpenAI agent that apparently decided that “I can't access this” meant “perhaps I should hack it.” Government websites, a university digital library, and other targets apparently became irresistible once the normal route to the information stopped working. The Geeks contemplate the exciting future of digital interns who don't understand that the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act is, in fact, not a suggestion.The AI-agent discussion rolls into Meta's Muse, OpenAI's new agent tools, security boundaries, and the increasingly familiar problem of giving software enough permissions to accomplish a task and then discovering it has developed its own interpretation of “accomplish.” The episode also tackles Utah's attempt to apply age verification requirements to VPN users, New York's legal fight with prediction markets, Meta expanding Instagram into schools, and the continuing saga of AI-generated music and copyright. Then there's Automatic's corporate drama involving Matt Mullenweg, vibe coding, and the increasingly compelling argument that if you can build a website in a few hours, maybe spending years arguing about WordPress is no longer the best use of anyone's time.Finally, the Geeks move on to the technological disasters that really matter: Plex changing the Apple TV skip controls unless you pay for premium, a Samsung software update that managed to turn some AI refrigerators into very expensive food-warming cabinets, and Toy Story 5 proving once again that Hollywood has never met a perfectly good ending it couldn't monetize. There's also a trio of soccer documentaries, including Italia 90, Angel City, and Game and Glory; a discussion of the Strange New Worlds finale “Tomorrow's Enterprise”; and Meta's new lightweight VR glasses. Because nothing says “we have learned absolutely nothing” quite like putting more software between you and your refrigerator.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

The strange activity in their Alabama home never seemed constant. That almost made it easier to dismiss, because every time things quieted down, the family could convince themselves it was over.Then something would happen again.One night, her mother heard the front door open while she was home alone. The family dog immediately began growling toward the stairs, and when she went to investigate, every door in the house was standing open. Later came footsteps, objects moving on their own, and experiences that left other family members shaken.Eventually, they decided to bless the house.That was when whatever had been quietly making itself known seemed to react—and the family realized staying there might no longer be worth the risk.#RealGhostStoriesOnline #HauntedHouse #ParanormalActivity #HouseBlessing #GhostlyFootsteps #UnexplainedActivity #HauntedHome #ParanormalEncounter #DarkPresence #TrueGhostStoriesLove real ghost stories?

Former Alabama national championship quarterback Jake Coker joins Mick Gillespie to break down one of the biggest games of the college football weekend: No. 7 Alabama vs. No. 16 Mississippi State in Starkville — a matchup featuring two of the fastest-rising quarterbacks in the country and major implications for the 2026 Heisman Trophy race. Can Keelon Russell keep Alabama's undefeated start rolling, or will Mississippi State star Kamario Taylor deliver another statement performance in front of the cowbells at Davis Wade Stadium? Coker explains why Alabama-Mississippi State has the potential to become a defining Heisman moment, comparing the spotlight surrounding Russell and Taylor to Alabama's famous 2015 showdown with LSU, when Derrick Henry's dominant performance against Leonard Fournette dramatically changed the national award conversation. The guys also break down Russell's rapid development in Ryan Grubb's Alabama offense after the Crimson Tide quarterback erupted against South Carolina for 365 passing yards and four touchdowns. Coker dives into what separates Russell inside the pocket, including his anticipation, ball placement, protection checks and ability to process defensive pressure — traits that remind Coker of former Alabama stars Tua Tagovailoa and Bryce Young. On the other side, the biggest challenge for Kane Wommack's Alabama defense may be containing the explosive Kamario Taylor. Coker discusses Alabama linebackers Luke Metz and Caleb Woodson, the challenge of defending a quarterback with Taylor's size and athleticism, and why disguised pressures and simulated blitzes can be especially difficult for young quarterbacks. Plus, Coker breaks down: • Why Mississippi State could be a dangerous “trap” environment for Alabama • The latest Heisman conversation surrounding Jeremiah Smith, Darian Mensah, Kamario Taylor and Keelon Russell • Why Russell's pocket presence stands out • Josh Ford's emergence as a blocker and receiving threat • Ryan Coleman-Williams' ability to create game-changing plays • Ryan Grubb's play-calling and Russell's growth in Year 2 of the system • How elite defensive coordinators disguise pressure against young quarterbacks • Why Coker believes Alabama has the pieces to compete for a national championship If you're an Alabama football, Mississippi State football, SEC football or college football fan, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.

Was the Civil War fought over slavery or states' rights? Today we'll examine the primary sources: the secession declarations of South Carolina, Mississippi, Georgia, and Texas, the ordinances of the other Confederate states, Alexander Stephens's Cornerstone Speech, Jefferson Davis's own words to the Confederate Congress in 1861, and Lincoln's letters on slavery and the Union. We'll also discuss the Corwin Amendment, the Crittenden Compromise, the tariff argument, why poor Southern farmers enlisted, the truth about Black Confederates and the Louisiana Native Guard, Black slave owners, Union atrocities, and how the Lost Cause myth spread from Edward Pollard's 1866 book through the United Daughters of the Confederacy and into Southern history textbooks, including the ones I used growing up in Texas.

For the past two years Ellis Johnson has lived in the Clemson area to be closer to his son Charlie, a tight end on the Tigers' football team. Johnson has some thoughts about this Clemson team as it sits 3-1 with a major challenge against Miami on Saturday night in Death Valley. The team's two biggest obstacles right now, in Johnson's mind: Freshman quarterback Tait Reynolds learning on the job, and an interior defensive line that hasn't supplied the disruption and pressure that is needed to have a consistently high-level defense. "I think Miami has to help Clemson for them to have a shot," he said. "There's that much difference in the way the two teams are playing right now. I do think Clemson is capable of winning. But they have to do something to help Tait Reynolds. They have to run the football, and then they have to be careful with what they ask him to do. And they have to get some takeaways on defense." Johnson was an assistant coach at Alabama in the early 1990s when Dabo Swinney played there. He then moved on to Clemson to work for Tommy West from 1994-96. Johnson was South Carolina's defensive coordinator under Steve Spurrier from 2008 to 2011.

Lonte Smith and Dave Essler talk betting for CFB Week 5 Lonte Smith and Uncle Dave Essler return for the Week 5 edition of RJ Bell's Dream Preview, College Football Edition, determined to bounce back from the first 0 and 2 week of the season while keeping the overall best bet record in the black, with Lonte at 2 and 2 and Dave at 3 and 1. At 1:58 the show opens with number 7 Alabama visiting Mississippi State at Davis Wade Stadium, where the Tide opened 6.5 point favorites before the line dipped to 5.5 or 6 and the total climbed to 60.5. Dave warns against recency bias after Alabama scored 50 on Florida State, pointing out that the Seminoles also scored 36 and piled up nearly 500 yards on that defense, and with Georgia coming to Tuscaloosa next week he takes the Mississippi State team total over. Lonte backs the Bulldogs in the first half, citing their first 4 and 0 start since 2014, a defense allowing 3.2 yards per carry, three straight 100 yard games from Fluff Bothwell and the blitz chess match between Kane Wommack and Kamario Taylor. At 6:53 the hosts turn to Virginia at Florida State, and both like the home underdog, with Lonte projecting a 23 to 20 grinder fueled by Ashton Daniels running the football and Dave calling it a potential career defining game for Mike Norvell ahead of trips to Louisville and Miami. At 10:14 Alex Golesh returns to Neyland Stadium as the Auburn head coach to face Josh Heupel, and Dave takes the Tennessee team total over after the Vols managed only 2.9 yards per play against Texas, while Lonte breaks down the North Carolina quarterback duel between Byrum Brown and Faizon Brandon and notes Auburn ranks among the worst coverage teams in the Power 4. At 15:06 Baylor at Arizona State gets labeled a volatile game, sharp money has pushed the line toward the Bears and the total down from 51 to 49.5, and both hosts land on the under while Dave admits he cannot get behind DJ Lagway. At 19:59 number 8 Florida visits Missouri laying 4.5, Dave calls the Tigers a paper tiger after they allowed almost 500 yards to Mississippi State and goes back to the Florida team total over after cashing it last week, and Lonte highlights Jadan Baugh and more than 600 rushing yards with 11 touchdowns before leaning to the over. At 25:20 Dave delivers his best bet, Wake Forest minus 12.5 over a Stanford team traveling east for the second time in three weeks, and at 27:34 Lonte answers with UConn plus 6.5 against Syracuse, pointing to the strong underdog record of Jason Candle, a power rating closer to 4 and deep familiarity between the two coaching staffs. The episode closes with a rapid fire round at 29:52 covering Notre Dame at North Carolina, Minnesota and Michigan, Ohio State at Iowa, Pitt and Virginia Tech, Louisville at NC State and Miami against Clemson, with team total unders, a Louisville and NC State over and a blunt verdict on whether Clemson can keep it close.

Brad Bowen welcomes Todd Brogdon and Shane Whitten of Hunters All Game, an Alabama hunting-product business. Todd describes how the brand outgrew what he could manage alone, while Shane brought business energy and helped expand production and online sales. The guests discuss how a small local store helped demonstrate demand, and why the company is now focusing on efficient production and distribution rather than chasing every retail opportunity.The conversation covers the company's mineral and attractant products, including why minerals can be useful year-round and how deer preferences vary by property and season. The guests encourage hunters to consider local habitat, try different flavors, and pay attention to product quality rather than relying on salt-heavy blends. They also share customer experiences—including deer responding to a new attractant—and explain that no product can guarantee a big buck.The episode also explores the human side of hunting: helping young people get outdoors, sharing memorable hunts with family, and finding joy in someone else's success. Todd and Shane tell stories ranging from humorous mishaps in the woods to deeply moving moments involving a stepson and a late family member's hunting gear. The discussion closes on the idea that hunting is about more than antlers: it's about relationships, memories, perseverance, and staying curious. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
