Does wearing No. 12 at Alabama come with a different level of pressure? The jersey carries one of the richest quarterback legacies in Alabama Crimson Tide football history, and the expectations in Tuscaloosa are enormous. We break down the incredible history of Alabama's No. 12 quarterbacks, including four national championship winners:

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. Russell arrived in Tuscaloosa as ESPN's No. 2 overall prospect in the 2025 recruiting class and flashed his potential during Alabama's A-Day game with 240 passing yards and four touchdowns. 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:

Barstool Sports' T-Bob Hebert joins The Next Round for a wide-ranging conversation on two of the biggest storylines in the SEC: Is Alabama Football starting to decline, and what does Lane Kiffin have to accomplish in Year 1 at LSU for the season to be considered a success? T-Bob breaks down the state of the Alabama Crimson Tide, whether the program is still operating at a championship level, and how expectations in Tuscaloosa have changed in the post-Nick Saban era. Then the conversation turns to LSU Football and Lane Kiffin. With enormous expectations surrounding Kiffin's first season in Baton Rouge, what is the realistic standard for success? Does LSU need to make the College Football Playoff immediately? Is competing for an SEC Championship the expectation? And how much pressure is there on Kiffin to prove that LSU can once again become one of college football's elite programs? We also dive into the Jayden Daniels No. 5 jersey controversy at LSU and the drama surrounding one of the most recognizable numbers in recent Tigers history. What does the situation say about LSU, its former Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback, and the way Lane Kiffin is handling his new program? T-Bob gives his perspective on Lane Kiffin, LSU, Jayden Daniels, Alabama, the SEC, the College Football Playoff race, and what could be ahead for two of the conference's biggest brands in the 2026 college football season.

The Alabama quarterback battle between Keelon Russell and Austin Mack is heating up after the Crimson Tide's first fall camp scrimmage — and former Alabama national championship quarterback Jake Coker knows exactly what it's like to fight for the starting job in Tuscaloosa. On this episode of Last Call on The Next Round, Coker joins Mick Gillispie to break down Alabama Football's biggest storylines coming out of the scrimmage, including the Russell vs. Mack QB competition, injuries in the running back room and the position battles that could shape Kalen DeBoer's offense in 2026. Coker explains what quarterbacks go through mentally during a heated competition and why blocking out fan expectations and outside noise is crucial. The guys also discuss whether Keelon Russell's playmaking ability and athleticism could ultimately give him the edge over Austin Mack — and what Alabama's coaches will be looking for before naming a starter. The conversation also turns to a suddenly banged-up Alabama backfield. AK Dear's injury adds another question mark, while freshman EJ Crowell has also missed time. That makes veteran Daniel Hill even more important as Alabama tries to reestablish the physical running game that has traditionally defined Crimson Tide football. Plus, Jake and Mick discuss: • Keelon Russell vs. Austin Mack after Alabama's first scrimmage • What Jake Coker learned from QB battles at Florida State and Alabama • Why scrimmages feel completely different from actual games • Whether Russell's upside could win him the starting job • The latest concerns surrounding AK Dear and EJ Crowell • Daniel Hill's transformation into a throwback Alabama power back • Freshman Trae'shawn Brown making noise in the backfield • Alabama's battle at right guard • Who can emerge as another weapon alongside Ryan Williams and Lotzeir Brooks • Why fixing Alabama's running game could be critical in 2026 Can Keelon Russell beat out Austin Mack for QB1, or will Mack's experience in Kalen DeBoer's system win out?

Now, a pair of talented defensive linemen, James Smith and Qua Russaw are set to continue that pipeline of talent from Tuscaloosa to Columbus.In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear directly from both Smith and Russaw about what made them decide to transfer to Ohio State, their experiences in Columbus so far, and the roles they're expected to play on the field this fall.Today's episode is presented by Jeff Ruby's Columbus, the award-winning, upscale steakhouse in Downtown Columbus, named one of the Top 50 steakhouses in America by Food Network.

We start with a little baseball nostalgia and somehow ends with us debating whether a man would trade a live rattlesnake for chicken tenders—which, honestly, is a pretty accurate summary of the intellectual journey you've signed up for with this funny podcast.The crew kicks things off after learning Daryl Strawberry was spotted in the stands shaking hands with an old teammate, which naturally gets everybody talking baseball, Strawberry's career, and his St. Louis-area connection. From there, we smoothly transition—as only a professional broadcasting operation like ours can—into one of the most stressful decisions a parent can make: where the heck is your kid going to college?Rizz is getting ready to hit the road for Fayetteville and is making a strong sales pitch for the University of Arkansas. Moon brings his own college-tour experience to the table, including some serious love for Tuscaloosa and the University of Alabama campus. Rafe weighs in on Fayetteville, Madison, Laramie and more as the guys break down a ranking of the best college towns in America.Ann Arbor takes the top spot, but that doesn't stop the crew from debating Arizona State, Virginia, Florida, Florida State, Wisconsin, Berkeley, Purdue, Wyoming and Illinois. There are beautiful campuses, brutal winters, business schools, Walmart money and the eternal parental dream of convincing your kid that the school YOU like is obviously the school THEY should like. Parenting!Then we arrive in Florida.And things immediately get stupid.It's time for Fake News or Florida, the game where contestants have to decide whether a ridiculous headline actually happened in Florida or whether the show made it up. The problem is that writing fake Florida headlines is nearly impossible because actual Florida keeps producing material that sounds like it was written by three raccoons sharing a laptop.Was a woman dressed as a hot dog arrested after covering a neighbor's car in toilet paper? Did police arrest Chuck E. Cheese while he was still in costume? Did someone throw an alligator through a drive-thru window? Did a guy in a Batman onesie detain a burglary suspect? Could a 300-pound feral hog interrupt somebody doing a crossword puzzle? And, most importantly, how much faith should anyone place in Moon as a lifeline?The answers become increasingly concerning.We also encounter a runaway kangaroo, a rainbow-painted manatee statue, a man hiding a gun under silicone breasts, a burglar with a live ferret stuffed down his pants, hundreds of mysteriously delivered shower curtains and the possibility of a rattlesnake-for-chicken-tenders barter economy.Moon spends much of the game carefully analyzing every detail, constructing thoughtful arguments and then discovering that Florida does not recognize the laws of logic. It's like watching Sherlock Holmes investigate a gas-station parking lot at 2 a.m.This funny podcast packs baseball talk, college-town arguments, listener chaos, bizarre headlines, St. Louis humor and enough Florida news to make you wonder whether the state should simply start issuing press releases titled, “You're Not Going To Believe This One Either.”It's another episode of The Rizzuto Show where celebrity and sports talk collide with weird news, sarcastic humor and the kind of daily comedy that probably shouldn't count as educational—but technically you will learn several things.Mostly about ferrets.Come for Daryl Strawberry and the college debate. Stay for the moment everyone has to seriously consider whether someone tried to exchange a live rattlesnake for chicken tenders.That's the kind of journalism this funny podcast is brave enough to tackle.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Meeting Don Mattingly, First Pitches, Daryl Strawberry was apparently in the stands, college students are heading back to campus, parents everywhere are questioning their financial decisions, and Florida has once again decided that normal behavior is merely a suggestion. Welcome to another episode of The Rizzuto Show, the comedy podcast where one innocent conversation can make several deeply unnecessary turns before anyone has a chance to stop it.The show kicks off with Daryl Strawberry after video surfaces of the former MLB star crossing paths with an old teammate. That naturally gets Rizz thinking about what would happen if Strawberry suddenly appeared in front of him — because apparently meeting one baseball hero wasn't enough emotional trauma for one week.From there, we move into college season. Parents are loading up cars, kids are heading back to school, and the crew starts debating the best college towns in America. Fayetteville gets plenty of love as Rizz talks about an upcoming Arkansas visit, while Moon makes a strong case for Tuscaloosa and the conversation wanders through Bloomington, Ann Arbor, Tempe, Madison, Charlottesville, Gainesville, Tallahassee, Laramie and Urbana-Champaign.There are legitimate discussions about business schools, campus life and tuition. There are also judgments based on weather, stadiums, sandwiches and whether your kid will feel like college is just “13th grade.” In other words, this is not an accredited educational consulting service. Please plan accordingly.Then Florida arrives.And Florida does not arrive quietly.It's time for Fake News of Florida, where callers have to decide whether increasingly ridiculous headlines actually happened in the Sunshine State or were created specifically to destroy their remaining faith in humanity.Could a Chuck E. Cheese mascot really get arrested inside the arcade? Could a guy in a Batman onesie detain a burglary suspect? Could a 300-pound feral hog crash through somebody's glass door? What about a runaway kangaroo? A guy hiding a gun under silicone breasts? A pet store burglar putting a live ferret down his pants?These are the questions our ancestors dreamed we would someday have the technology to answer.Moon serves as a lifeline, which occasionally works beautifully and occasionally involves him building an entire forensic case around a headline only to discover that Florida simply does not respect conventional logic. The more reasonable his explanation sounds, the more concerned everyone should probably become.Things eventually escalate to mystery shower curtains, a Key West parrot allegedly trapped in a margarita machine and perhaps the most Florida sentence ever assembled: a Pensacola man trying to trade a live rattlesnake for a box of chicken tenders. At some point you stop asking whether the headlines are plausible and start accepting that the state of Florida is basically running its own comedy podcast without microphones.It's baseball nostalgia, college-parent anxiety, caller chaos, weird news and enough Florida nonsense to make you suspicious of every headline you read for the rest of the day. Just another comedy podcast from The Rizzuto Show, where we take the important stories of the day and immediately make them significantly less important.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode 260 of the Transition Drill podcast explores military transition, leadership, and rebuilding purpose for veterans and first responders navigating life after a long career of service. You'll hear retired Navy Chief Warrant Officer 5 David Sledge on leaving behind 33 years of structure and identity, and what it takes to build purpose beyond the uniform.Growing up in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Sledge initially joined the National Guard to help pay for college before switching to active-duty Navy service during the Gulf War, even though he couldn't swim. What began as a two-year commitment became a career spanning five ships, deployments, 9/11, the 2011 Japan earthquake and tsunami response, and assignments around the world. Along the way, he became a Gunner's Mate, Recruit Division Commander, instructor, Chief Petty Officer, and ultimately a Chief Warrant Officer 5, carrying forward lessons in mentorship and leadership first demonstrated by the sailors who invested in him.Sledge also explains what happened when that career stopped. After retiring in 2023, he discovered that slowing down created space for memories, questions of identity, and the struggle to replace the routine and purpose military service had provided. He turned toward consulting, continued education, mentoring, coaching basketball, public speaking, and writing.Today, Sledge is the author of Leadership Alchemy and Hurry Up and Wait, using decades of experience to teach leadership, patience, empathy, listening, and the value of genuinely connecting with people.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:GRND Collective: Premium, veteran-owned sportswear built for those who show up, outwork the excuses, and give 100%.

Greg Davis sits down with David Perry, Republican candidate for Alabama's 7th Congressional District, ahead of Tuesday's August 11 special Republican primary.Perry makes his case for change in a district stretching from Birmingham and Tuscaloosa deep into Alabama's Black Belt and southwest Alabama. He discusses his campaign's focus on economic development, infrastructure, education, healthcare, public safety and criminal justice reform.Perry also shares his personal connection to the district, including his roots in Selma and Perry County, and explains why he believes the district's persistent poverty, deteriorating infrastructure, hospital closures and lack of access to basic services require a different approach to congressional representation.The conversation also explores Perry's identity as an African American Republican running in a heavily Democratic district, his Christian convictions, and his appeal to Christian voters to become more engaged in the political process.With Tuesday's primary determining the Republican nominee who will face longtime Democratic incumbent Terri Sewell in November, Perry argues that District 7 is capable of political change—and asks voters to give him the opportunity to lead that effort.

Former Alabama national championship quarterback Jake Coker and co-host Mick Gillispie are back together for another episode of Last Call, featuring Alabama football analysis, unforgettable travel stories and plenty of off-the-rails conversation. The biggest question in Tuscaloosa remains the Alabama quarterback competition. With offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb expected to make a decision after the Crimson Tide's second scrimmage, Jake looks back at his own 2015 quarterback battle and explains why allowing the competition to linger can damage morale, disrupt offensive chemistry and prevent a team from developing its identity. Jake and Mick also discuss why Alabama must establish a physical, dominant running game to compete for an SEC championship and College Football Playoff berth. They evaluate the Crimson Tide's running back depth, the importance of pass protection and what separates talented players from the backs who earn meaningful snaps. The conversation also turns to Kalen DeBoer's challenge of following Nick Saban, the standard Saban established at Alabama and why defensive coordinator Kane Wommack deserves credit for keeping the Crimson Tide competitive in difficult games. Plus, Mick shares stories from a turbulent trip to Key West, Jake recalls a frightening Blackhawk helicopter flight and the guys discuss Jake's upcoming family vacation to Disney World.

Which SEC football teams are headed for a shocking upset in 2026? On Episode 5 of The Connor O'Gara Show, Connor is joined by Ryan Brown to make bold SEC preseason predictions and identify the potential trap games that could turn the College Football Playoff race upside down. Could Florida stun Ole Miss in Gainesville one week after the Rebels' emotional showdown with LSU? Can Texas A&M walk into Tuscaloosa and defeat Alabama? Is Arkansas capable of upsetting Tennessee in Fayetteville? Connor also predicts that Oklahoma will become the SEC's ultimate “agent of chaos”—beating Georgia in Athens and Texas in the Red River Rivalry before somehow losing to Mississippi State in Starkville. Ryan explains why he views the Sooners as an 8-4 team rather than a legitimate playoff contender, while Connor questions whether quarterback John Mateer can withstand the physical demands of Oklahoma's brutal schedule. Connor and Ryan also discuss:

Former Alabama national championship quarterback Jake Coker joins Mick Gillispie for another episode of Last Call, featuring a wide-ranging discussion about Alabama football, the transfer portal, conference realignment, the College Football Playoff, NIL and the changing structure of college athletics. Jake and Mick break down the rebuilt Pac-12 and attempt to name the schools joining the new-look conference, including Oregon State, Washington State, Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State, Utah State, Texas State and Gonzaga. Can the relaunched Pac-12 become a legitimate college football conference after losing programs such as USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington? The conversation then turns to Notre Dame's special position in the College Football Playoff. Should the Fighting Irish receive a guaranteed CFP bid for finishing inside the top 12 despite not competing in a conference championship game? Jake and Mick debate whether Notre Dame's independence gives the program an unfair advantage over teams from the SEC, Big Ten, ACC and Big 12. Jake also explains why Alabama's recruiting strategy may increasingly focus on experienced players from the transfer portal, Group of Five programs and the FCS. Are proven veterans with toughness, fundamentals and college experience more valuable than highly rated high school prospects? The guys discuss how NIL and revenue sharing could turn smaller programs into a “farm league” for college football's biggest brands. Plus, Jake shares his Independence Day plans at “the camp,” Mick prepares to watch fireworks at the ballpark, and the guys discuss the massive “flood mosquitoes” invading the Birmingham and Tuscaloosa areas. They also preview the 76th annual Choctaw Indian Fair in Philadelphia, Mississippi, featuring traditional stickball, concerts, cultural events and more. Let us know in the comments: Should Notre Dame receive an automatic College Football Playoff bid for finishing in the top 12? Is Alabama smart to prioritize experienced transfer portal players? Can the new Pac-12 become nationally relevant again?
