TNR 3/13/26 - Hour 1 | Auburn BOUNCED by Oklahoma? Bruce Pearl Gets HEATED! Mar 13, 2026

Show notes

The Auburn Tigers may have finally reached the end of their rope. It all started with the 72-62 loss to the Tennessee Volunteers that included a 20-0 second half run by Tennessee Basketball. The worst part of the day for Auburn Basketball may have occurred later Thursday night when the Oklahoma Sooners upset the Texas A&M Aggies 83-63. That win by Oklahoma Basketball has moved the Sooners in front of Auburn on many bracket projections. Now, Auburn must wait.

Mark Schlereth DISGUSTED With Alabama’s Run Game | Here’s How He’d Fix the O-Line Mar 12, 2026

Show notes

Former NFL All-Pro offensive lineman and Super Bowl champion Mark Schlereth joins The Next Round for a brutally honest breakdown of what’s gone wrong with the Alabama Crimson Tide football offensive line and run game. And let’s just say… “Stink” isn’t holding back. 🏈 In this conversation, Schlereth explains why he’s disgusted with the physicality and fundamentals he’s seeing up front from Alabama. The Crimson Tide have long been known for dominant offensive line play and a punishing rushing attack — but according to Schlereth, the current product simply isn’t good enough. So what’s the fix? If Schlereth were in charge of Alabama’s offensive line room, he lays out exactly what he’d change — from technique and toughness to run-scheme adjustments and attitude in the trenches. If you’re an Alabama fan, an offensive line junkie, or just a college football fan who loves the details of winning in the trenches, you won’t want to miss this breakdown. 🔥 Topics in this video include: Why Mark Schlereth says Alabama’s offensive line play is unacceptable What’s wrong with the Crimson Tide run game right now The fundamentals Alabama linemen must fix immediately How “Stink” would rebuild Alabama’s identity up front Why physicality and attitude still define elite college football programs Whether you bleed Crimson Tide red or just love smart football analysis, this is a must-watch conversation about Alabama football, offensive line play, and the future of the Tide’s run game. 👍 If you enjoyed this video: Hit LIKE to support the channel SUBSCRIBE to The Next Round for more interviews, analysis, and insider talk on Alabama Football, SEC Football, and College Football Turn on notifications so you never miss a new video 📺 Watch more from The Next Round: Daily college football talk, SEC analysis, Alabama Crimson Tide coverage, recruiting news, coaching insight, and interviews with the biggest names in the sport. #AlabamaFootball #RollTide #SECFootball #CollegeFootball #CrimsonTide #OffensiveLine #CFB #Alabama #KalenDeBoer

Spring Ball Begins: Alabama QB Battle + Tide Beats Auburn | Bama & Bourbon Mar 12, 2026

Show notes

Rivalry bragging rights, SEC Tournament stakes, and spring football storylines — all with a premium pour. 🥃🐘

On this episode of Bama and Bourbon, Lance Taylor from The Next Round and Aaron Suttles of Yea Alabama break down Alabama Basketball’s huge rivalry win over Auburn and what it means for the Crimson Tide heading into the SEC Tournament in Nashville. With momentum building, how far can Nate Oats’ team go this week — and how much can Alabama improve its NCAA Tournament seeding before Selection Sunday?

The guys dive into the biggest takeaways from the win over Auburn, the Crimson Tide’s path through the SEC Tournament bracket, and which matchups could define Alabama’s championship hopes.

Then the conversation shifts to the gridiron as Alabama Football spring practice is officially underway in Tuscaloosa. LT and Aaron break down the quarterback competition between Austin Mack and Keelon Russell, what each brings to the offense, and how Kalen DeBoer’s staff is prioritizing improvement along the offensive line as the Crimson Tide look to establish a more consistent run game heading into the 2026 season.

Of course, it wouldn’t be Bama and Bourbon without a great pour. The guys enjoy Yea Alabama’s very own 1831 Edition premium bourbon, pairing bold Crimson Tide talk with a smooth Alabama-made whiskey.

If you’re an Alabama Basketball fan, an Alabama Football diehard, an SEC sports follower, or a bourbon enthusiast, this episode is for you.
