TNR 2/6/26 - Hour 1 | Alabama at Auburn: Will Bediako PLAY? Feb 06, 2026

Show notes

LA Rams QB Matt Stafford wins his first NFL MVP Award.

The Alabama Crimson Tide and The Auburn Tigers square off Saturday at 3PM on ESPN in Neville Arena.

For Alabama Basketball, will they have or not have Charles Bediako? That ruling should come down today making Bediako a true “questionable” for Alabama at this point.

With, or without Bediako, can Alabama protect the rim against Auburn?

Speaking of Bediako, we now know the stance of SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey on the issue. In a signed affidavit submitted as part of the NCAA’s 48-page document, Sankey sides with college sport’s governing body saying the Alabama center should not play.

For Auburn Basketball, head coach Steven Pearl has taken a different stance on Bediako, actually hoping he plays against the Tigers.

New Coach, New Identity? Alabama’s O-Line Shakeup + Big SEC Hoops Win | Bama and Bourbon Feb 05, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of Bama and Bourbon, Lance Taylor from The Next Round and Aaron Suttles of Yea Alabama break down Alabama Football’s newest coaching hire as Kalen DeBoer tabs Adrian Klemm to lead the Crimson Tide offensive line. What does Klemm’s background and coaching style mean for Alabama’s physicality up front? Could this be the move that finally sparks a resurgence in the Tide’s run game? LT and Aaron dive into what this hire says about DeBoer’s vision for Alabama football moving forward and how it could impact the offense in 2026 and beyond.

The conversation then shifts to the hardwood as the guys react to Alabama Basketball’s dramatic win over Texas A&M, breaking down the key moments, standout performances, and what the victory means for Nate Oats’ team as SEC play heats up. Is this another sign that the Crimson Tide is built for a deep run in March?

All of it pairs perfectly with a smooth pour of Starlight Distillery Small Batch VDN Barrel Finished Bourbon, as the fellas talk Crimson Tide football, Alabama basketball, SEC storylines, and great bourbon.

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

TNR 2/4/26 - Hour 3 | Bama's TIPPING POINT Tonight & Super Bowl Stars Feb 04, 2026

Show notes

Where Super Bowl players were rated in high school

Is tonight a tipping point for Alabama Basketball?

The Alabama Crimson Tide is coming off an embarrassing loss at The Florida Gators Sunday. After Alabama Basketball was dominated in every phase of the game by Florida Basketball, the Crimson Tide fell out of the Top 25 for the first time in 42 consecutive polls, the 5th longest streak in the nation.

Bama (-7.5) is back tonight facing the Texas A&M Aggies at 6PM on the SEC Network. This is the first time new Texas A&M Basketball coach, and Alabama native, Bucky McMillan will face the Crimson Tide. This is Texas A&M’s first real test as the SEC’s front runner in basketball.

TNR 2/4/26 - Hour 2 | Lincoln Riley TAKES A SHOT at the SEC & SEC Basketball Jobs Ranked Feb 04, 2026

Show notes

Ranking the SEC Basketball jobs

Tennessee Volunteers quarterback Joey Aguilar’s eligibility lawsuit against the NCAA has resulted in a TRO from a Tennessee judge. This allows Aguilar to continue winter workouts with Tennessee Football.

It also creates an interesting day for the NCAA on Friday. Both Aguilar and Charles Bediako will have their preliminary injunction hearings that day, in a day that could start to shape the future of the NCAA.

Is Lincoln Riley being genuine when he says the South was the only place paying players?

Why does everyone seem to be upset about the new college football calendar after the College Football Playoff announced their future schedules?
