The Next Round (6/9/25) - Hour 3 Jun 09, 2025

Show notes

The House Settlement was approved by a California judge Friday. In a nutshell: We now have direct payments from schools to players. What is next and winners and losers.

Do you believe The Alabama Crimson Tide tried to lure SMU Mustangs QB Kevin Jennings into the Transfer Portal to take over for outgoing Alabama Football QB Jalen Milroe? One reporter says it is so.

Are there current college football head coaches that should use the Chip Kelly method and give up on the head coaching job to become a top coordinator?

Our Champions Boxing 40-in-40 stays in the SEC with the Tennessee Volunteers at #22. Few teams had a more public offseason in the transfer portal than Tennessee Football. How will the reset at quarterback impact the Vols? Is this the biggest opportunity for Josh Heupel to solidify himself as a top ten coach?

Just how valuable are the College Football Playoffs to ESPN?

The NBA Finals evened up last night with the Oklahoma City Thunder keeping the Indiana Pacers at arms length in the 123-107 win. No comeback this time for the Pacers and the teams head to Indy for Game 3 Wednesday Night at 7:30 on ABC. The win in Game Two continues an impressive run for the Thunder over the Eastern Conference.

The SEC will end up with two teams that advance to Omaha. The Arkansas Razorbacks swept the Tennessee Volunteers to advance and the LSU Tigers destroyed West Virginia to punch their ticket.

The Auburn Tigers were swept by The Costal Carolina Chanticleers in front of record Plainsman Park crowds. What had been an historic Auburn Baseball season comes to a very disappointing close.

The Atlanta Braves are now losers of seven straight games prompting plenty of calls for the job of Brian Snitker, is that just a matter of time?

The LSU Tigers may be losing a five start recruit. Who would LSU Football WR commit Tristen Keys may be looking to move his pledge to the Alabama Crimson Tide, Auburn Tigers or the Ole Miss Rebels. If not Alabama Football, Auburn Football or Ole Miss Football, he may stay with LSU.

The Oregon Ducks may have lost talented WR Evan Stewart. The Oregon Football star may be out for the season according to reports.

The most undervalued and overvalued teams in the ESPN FPI Rankings. The Texas Longhorns, Georgia Bulldogs, Alabama Crimson Tide, Ohio State Buckeyes and the Penn State Nittany Lions were the top five. The Texas A&M Aggies were also very high.

Our Champions Boxing 40-in-40 is back in the SEC with the Oklahoma Sooners at #23. Can a new OC and new QB, John Mateer, get Oklahoma Football into SEC contention? Could Mateer be a Heisman Trophy candidate as well?

The NBA Finals began last night with the Indiana Pacers doing what the Indiana Pacers do: erase a double digit 4th quarter lead for a 111-110 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Is Tyrese Haliburton the best three start recruit ever?

Four SEC Baseball teams survive the regionals a move to the Super Regionals today: The Auburn Tigers, The LSU Tigers, The Arkansas Razorbacks and The Tennessee Volunteers. Auburn Baseball, LSU Baseball, Arkansas Baseball and Tennessee Baseball all hope to advance to Omaha.

Also, a Plainsman Park record crowd is expected as Auburn Baseball is hosting their first ever NCAA Super Regional. Does their star Ike Irish have the best walk-up song in baseball?

Houston Cougars head coach Kelvin Sampson just signed a new contract but still may be the best value in all of college basketball.

The Atlanta Braves have been struggling badly of late. Was yesterday’s loss the worst in franchise history?

NFL QB Aaron Rodgers has a one year contract signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers. What does that mean in the NFL Playoffs race?
