Alabama or some people might call it Bama wins against Ole Miss 63 to 48 making it the highest scores game and regulation history and sec football history. Um, yes, Alabama won but a lot of the fans were not we’re not really happy with the defense. The question marks still linger. Can they match up against bigger teams like Florida and Georgia? But a man that could definitely answer this question and Amanda definitely that goes to Bama. ramadas for the weekends, and a guy that has an Alabama email Steven M. Smith, welcome back to the sports guest
Stephen M. Smith
doing good Santiago happy to be back. I was in Oxford, Mississippi over the weekend. The notes just say that was the most weirdly unexpected entertaining crazy game. I’ve been a part of.
Santiago Leon
It felt very iron bullish.
Stephen M. Smith
It really did and going into the matchup. I mean, of course, rain tipping and Nick Saban familiar with each other. Kiffin was at Alabama for three years as the offensive coordinator 2014 through 2016. So there are some things that Alabama does or a lot of things. What Alabama does that he is very familiar with, but you you got to get Kip and a non credit you want to talk about an offensive tactician. He literally had Alabama’s defense with no answers to what no Ole Miss was going to do. In that matchup no Matt Clough had over 300 yards passing he was referred to the secondary. I’ve been head to 100 yard backs and Snoop Conner and Jerry on the end of which Kip and got both of those guys to the edge, got him up and down the field. I’ve been the receiving game Ole Miss had two receivers of 100 yards. I was literally inside the press box listening to the statistician upstairs. And it was like every other played. The guy was going well. Ole Miss has broken this record against Alabama. Well, Ole Miss becomes the first team to do this against Alabama. Well, this becomes the first time that this acapella program under Nick Saban has given us this video. It’s all pensively It was like every other possession. Ole Miss was doing something rather historic on the field, despite the rainy condition so you got to give a Lane Kiffin I got credit for really testing challenging, rip it up this Bama defense quite a bit here. Alabama has got to improve swiftly, fastly nothing’s gonna happen because this week, your face and a Georgia team that on paper and on the CEO, this is Kirby smarts best defensive team best defensive product he has had to see it’s been at the helm for the Bulldogs all offensively for Alabama. Steve Sarkeesian has proven he was well worth the extension. I mean, Mack Jones nobody needs to doubt this young man anymore. This guy is the real deal boy but a placeholder. He is a bonafide quarterback. And he is playing like one. I had a tremendous game over 400 yards passing for 17 to be exact. two touchdowns. No turnovers he completed at 7.5% that’s just stupid right there. The run game nachi here’s a career day 206 shots rushing five touchdowns on a bad has found his compliment and Brian Robinson grit 76 yards rushing one scores. The offensive line did its part the wide receiver to their job davante Smith j the wattle book over 100 yards receiving so all offensively safe is proud with it. Saban is proud of this group offensively and rightfully so they have done their part they’ve done their job defensively as were stopping down to happen. And stop is going to happen fast because despite the excitement that the offense has provided, for Alabama fans out there we you have been trained for so long to think and believe that, you know, Alabama’s defense first its deep inflated. Its defense perceives everything, especially when you saw it with Paul bear Bri and years and years past and Gene Stallings in the 90s. And, of course, in the earlier years with Nick Saban was defense first. When you’re trying to see defense first. You’d never want to see the defense take a backseat. If odds are the two have to take a backseat. I think Alabama fans will moreso want the offense taking the back seat because it’s so conditioned to see defense lead. This is no shock to the office because they’ve done a fantastic job. But something’s got to change quickly. swiftly with this defense with Georgia coming in this week.
Santiago Leon
Let’s look at the defense. It was the most talked about situation. heard from Justin heard from Twitter heard from almost everyone. Even you brought it up. Um, it is led led by Dylan Moses. It gave up about 630 647
Stephen M. Smith
yards 147 man
Santiago Leon
Yeah, a whole lot of yards there. This defense also had issues last week. I’m Stephen King, this defense be tweaked. I mean, you’re gonna face Georgia, you’re gonna you know, face, you know, tougher teams. There’s no Mercer’s, there’s no citadels coming? Can this defense be tweaked? Or this is what you see is what you’re going to get and where you’re going to see for the rest of the season.
Stephen M. Smith
Wait, well, first and foremost, it comes down to does Coach Saban make a move as a defensive coordinator because this is what amount of fans I’ve been speaking about. The last two years now it became even more evident over the weekend, as we all probably saw the fire Pete Golding hashtags, surfacing on Twitter, and massive, massive numbers. And, you know, for me, app was a huge, no supporter of coach Golding, when he came in, just due to between 2016 and 2018. There was a mass exodus of cultures and great coaches defensively, that were leaving the program. And four out of fans they were concerned about, well, why is this coach leaving? Why is that coach leaving? Do they not want to be that a Bama? What’s the concern here, these coaches would include Kirby smart, Jeremy Pruitt, Derrick ansley, male talker, as well as the assistants that were next to them. So I’m about most I not up quality in Leeds, big teachers, big communicators, also big recruiters, in terms of coaches on the defensive side of the football. And for Coach Saban. Since those typically departures of those coaches, he has not been able to rebound, right and the land a bit bigger, savvy, seasoned veteran name on that side of the football. So he tried to give a couple of young guys an opportunity, he tried to get tossed away a chance to run the deep end in 2018. Of course, unfortunately, that didn’t work as Bama lost in the national championship matchup against Clemson. And so now between 13 games last year and three games this year from 16 games, he’s tried to give Pete Golding an opportunity and so far it has not worked. So the number one thing you have to look at we’re saving this concern starting today, does he look at the defensive coordinator position, reevaluate that and maybe get somebody else in there to run that side of the football Alabama did hire Charlie strong back in the spring as a defensive analyst. Now, there’s a challenge there because Charlie strong as good as he is, as a defensive coordinator. His best years came in the previous decade. He has not coached or coordinated a defense against these types of all fits in this decade. He’s been a head coach the last three since the last three steps he had. He was a head coach at luvable 2010 to 2013 and had some success with Teddy Bridgewater in a company but his NASS two stops at Texas and South Florida. Were not as fruitful now in from 2006 to 2008 at University of Florida, bedtime. defensive coordinator there, where he won two national championships under head coach Urban Meyer. So it’s kind of high risk, high reward thing when you look at the reputation, but it’s probably strong, but also the risk of well, he has not coordinated the defense in this decade. So Does he still have it? That’s the question mark there. But the big the big piece here at Santiago is for Coach Saban this week, does he look at the defensive coordinator position, reevaluated and make a move there because through 16 games with Pete Golding, you’re still seeing the same problems this season that you saw last season? p golden
Santiago Leon
is the defensive coordinator for Alabama. He’s only 36 years old. There is a comment from the periscope, which is Justin Riley. He asks, How do you account for all those missed tackles? blown coverages and botched? Yeah. blown coverages and things that the defense has missed?
Stephen M. Smith
Okay, so with that, that’s so as to fall for us to follow. And I understand a lot of people are saying, Well, you can’t put it all on the coach. It’s not the coach’s fault. It’s not all the coach’s fault. It’s not like the coach can be on the field. No, in the particular play with those defensive players. Now I get that. Now I understand that and some of this is on the players you got to be able to tackle, you have to be able to have the right energy, the right motivation, the right drive the right, you know, want to to make those types of plays and want to finish play. So some things are on the players. Absolutely. But also some things are on coaching. When I was in the press box over the weekend, I’m seeing in players are looking most on the field. I’m seeing players that are constantly looking at the saw, wondering what the call me is with the formation is what are we doing? I’m constantly seeing players that don’t understand what the read is on the play. They are looking like they’re in no man’s land out there. And because of that, you’re seeing players know take Gamble’s and guess on plays instead of just being no assure of themselves and what they’re doing. And when you’re seeing that type of action up there. That goes back to coaching in which you have to ask, is Pete golden getting the call out there quick enough? Is he making the adjustment quick enough? Is he making the read quick enough? Is the opposing team making checks and making corrections and Pete Golding is not reacting on the fly fast enough that there was a moment in the game Santiago where Nick Saban most most as Kool Aid, I mean, Nick Saban lost his nuts on the salt law. He nearly blew up and went nuclear on Pete Golding on the site like given his famous no but shooing right there on the sideline blew up right burpee going, because there are some things that Nick that coach Nick salt that Coach Saban saw on the field, and things were not adjusted to properly, things were not handled properly. Things were not done properly. So yes, I mean, there are some things there are on the players at the players have to take ownership of Absolutely. But when you are seeing guys in the field that don’t know where to be that don’t know what the call is, that don’t understand where they’re supposed to go to on the field. And it parlays itself into, you know, guys not playing competently and just guessing. Then that attributes back to the coaching in is Pete Golding getting the call now getting the readout? Is he handling that part of the communication? Well, so that part goes back to the coaching aspect.
Santiago Leon
I do agree with Stephen with a talented defense. And like you were just mentioning, you saw players were confused what to do, what to tackle what’s going on the field. And a lot of it is the leadership of top and of course p golden been the defensive quarter inator since 2018, which explains it because these past two years, defense hasn’t been hundred percent. Um, and there has been talk on Twitter, a lot of Alabama a whole lot of Alabama supporter has been saying, you know, get rid of P gold and things like that. Steve, is this gonna happen like this week or this is just talk? Like, I mean, obviously, you’re an inside guy. But what are the chances for p golden to get the x.
Stephen M. Smith
Now that that’s a top now in terms of terms of when terms of when that could come? I don’t know the answer right now. I know this week. I know today Alabama’s having a team meeting. Of course our former Alabama defensive lineman Isaiah bugs tweeted that out there over the weekend on Saturday. No after the game he basically just said hey, you know what Alabama has a game like this where it does not play its best football. does not look its best on the field. Those team meetings on Monday are not are absolutely rough to deal with. So I know for a fact that in the years past, the players have something called a come to Jesus meeting. This is how they come to Jesus, we this is going to be a fire and brimstone type eating, cope, save, it’s going to come in there, he’s going to do you know, 90% of the talk. And he may have, you know, a leadership player on the team talk a little bit, but coach save is going to handle 90% of the talk in which trying to get down to the bottom up. What does this team want to do? And what are your goals right now, because right now defensively, we’re not hitting on any of the goals that we need to be hitting on. So there’s going to be a team meeting with players. There’s definitely going to be a meeting with the defensive coaching staff this week. So we will see how it goes to from bear save and we’ll be doing some talking. They will be doing some cutting some digging some finding what becomes of it as I get the information. I will do my best to to pass that on. But right now the thing that I do know is there is going to be a not a conversation. And there’s gonna be a lot of conversation in meetings this week.
Santiago Leon
P golden will definitely be brought up so definitely keep an eye on coaching m Smith. I know he’s the first to break news from Alabama, and also from his website. Alabama magazine TV magazine, and this weekend they’re playing Georgia, Georgia goes to Tuscaloosa first time, first time since 2007. Um, what are you looking forward towards this game? Of course, Georgia just beat Tennessee 4421. This is not Ole Miss. This is the real deal. This is a top tier team. Some people are saying Georgia is number one in the country. But Steven, give us a preview of what’s going to happen this weekend.
Stephen M. Smith
A lot of emotion there’s a lot of emotion when you look at the familiarity on both sides of the ball. And you will get both of these schools recruit against each other. Kirby smart was under Nick Saban for nine years under Nick Saban for nine years. So the familiarity right there. Both of these two know each other really, really, really extremely well. And now you add the Scott Cochran effect to it. No, Cochran was an Alabama as a director of strength conditioning for 13 years and now he’s at Georgia so the familiarity on both sides the emotion on both sides. You know the Georgia fans are literally looking at Kirby this week going with Can you finally pull the trigger Kirby you can close to a mat you can close to him every national championship game in 2018 off the 2017 carbon and you couldn’t close you can close him Kirby again in the 2018 sec title game Kirby and you couldn’t close can you finally pull the trigger? Kirby Can you finally deliver the knockout blow? This is what fans are Georgia fans are literally no pumping into the mind of Kirby smart right now. Can you deliver the dagger Kirby to Coach Saban as he is 21 to no against his former assistant also, Georgia brings in and what deepens that know on paper and on the field Kirby’s best groups and he’s been, you know, at the program and it’s number one in a lot of major defensive categories nationally. If it’s not number one, the top five, definitely number one, the SEC in all the major defense categories nationally and they’re going to look to affect Mac gels in the packet, they’re going to look to shut down the run game of Alabama so this is a matchup where when you got a defense that’s known for playing extremely good football, Alabama on the deep side of the football this week, it’s got to come with it now. It’s got to come with a bat for the after the game against Ole Miss. Know Coach Saban talked about it, you know, this, this needs to be the game to wake us up. You know, defensively this needs the game that wakes us up defensively, that that has is going in the right direction to this is the game that has to give us that reality check and for teams that want to push to be gray and push to win championships. Sometimes you have to have that reality check delivered to you and Ole Miss Lane chipping even in an Alabama we and Ole Miss delivered that reality check to Alabama’s deepest in a big time way on national television. So now how quickly how fast is Alabama regroup because this is a Georgia defense that’s gonna look to really slow down mimic the big plays from that BAM all fans. This is going to be a very, very frigging football game especially with once again I mentioned that people are looking at Kirby Kirby. Now is your time and you finally pull this trigger. This is gonna be an intense game.
Santiago Leon
Steven, I can’t believe I’m saying this but this could be a winnable game for Georgia.
Stephen M. Smith
It literally comes down. The first quote to me, to me I feel like the first quarter is gonna tell on this tape. I know games are won in the fourth quarter Absolutely. monopolized. The fourth quarter is going to tell on that here in this football game. Can Georgia establish a run game early? Can Georgia establish a run game early? And in bringing state and and bringing Stetson Bennett to this game? Bringing Stetson Bennett? No as the starting quarterback into Bryant Denny, how comfortable Is he in that first quarter to not Bama, get a push to him. If Alabama cannot get a consistent push to Stetson Bennett in the first quarter, it is going to be a game where you are going to be on the edge of your seat for a second consecutive week.
Santiago Leon
Vegas has the Bulldogs spread a plus point 6.5.
Stephen M. Smith
It’s okay. So even even even even Vegas is singing. This is an opportunity here, you know for Georgia and at the pressure here that’s on, you know, Kirby smart to get this done. But they also see the pressure here on the Alabama defense to show up some life here some big lies here in this matchup. So this will be a game that I will be at. I will be covering I will have my eyes fully on it. as dynamic as the Alabama offense has been and I don’t want to take any credit away from what Steve Sarkeesian Mack Jones in this group has done. They have been fantastic 100% but this is a week where for what this program has always been built on. I know times have changed the game has evolved. I get that before before what this program has been built on. Since Coach Saban has been here in 2000 2007. And Saban being a defensive minded head coach. This is the week where just as Alabama deep and finally stand up because I remember when Satan first got here in 2007. Among the first things he said was, we are going to give you a program or we’re going to push to have you a program a product that you can be proud of. And over the weekend, Alabama fans, former players, just people in general looked at that defensive product they were not proud of that. They were absolutely horrified mortified of that product that they saw on the field over the weekend. So this is the week that there’s Alabama defense. does it stand up now and show that hey, we can still play an eating level that’s got to happen this week. I expect a fierce fierce tenacious kick in the butt type of energy from from Nick Saban this week. And of course we could
Santiago Leon
also the sports cast we’ll be talking about it on the Reilly inconstant show tomorrow night at 7:45pm. Eastern time change. Keep that in mind. So they’ll definitely go more in depth. With with what happened this past weekend, and what should and what should Alabama do for this weekend because it’s definitely a bigger game than Ole Miss. Let’s look at this week’s this past week’s sec scores. Florida last against Texas and M 41. To 38. Steven, what are your thoughts over that match?
Stephen M. Smith
Really, I was really pulling for the Gators in this game but you got to give up Kevin mine and Jimbo Fisher some credit here. You take a loss to Alabama but you get off the mat and you beat a really really really good Florida team. My thing is can a&m keep going? That’s the question right there but you got to give Jimbo fish flight props there for getting up off the mat. I have an entertaining game against Florida and finding a way to win that one.
Santiago Leon
I definitely calm Jimbo Fisher’s well LSU beat Missouri 41 to 45. No, Missouri beat LSU 45 to 41 is LSU. Oh and two is that what I’m reading?
Stephen M. Smith
is literally one and two.
Santiago Leon
One and two. Okay, yes, that went last week. That’s right.
Stephen M. Smith
This is literally, this is what happens when a season ago. Everything was complex. Everything I’m talking about you had the quarterback that was ready. You had all the tavin offensively, you had you know two really great coaches in Joe Brady as the passing game coordinator, and Dave Miranda as a defensive coordinator everything was right where MACD to be last year and to go from that. So you had 14 to 16 players get drafted including Joe burrow at quarterback. You lost both of the coaches in Brady and Aranda, you know so many guys on defense and you lost players to opt out and all of this in competition with each other. And now you’re seeing a situation where can it always run do the X’s and O’s and so far, and bringing in Scott minahan to run the offense and both Pollini to run the defense? It has not watched it. It has not worked I mean, to lose to Mississippi State week one though granted, Mike Leach that air raid office is pretty good right there to kind of get that running back. And so Joe, within the turnaround and lose to a Missouri team, under a first year head coach and Eli a tranquil granite, Missouri’s Got Talent on both sides of the ball but to lose to a first year head coach, a team that’s trying to build an identity even more for itself at a shoe has got to pick up some piece but they’ve got to find some answers because this watch here is the quickest fall from being national champions to be in one and two. Rebuilding season.
Santiago Leon
Of course for LSU the game Cox defeated Vandy 41 to seven
Stephen M. Smith
good work good win for South Carolina. Good win for South Carolina and I will miss champ I know the game cogs that fan base have been kind of frustrated or frustrated for a while now about the coach that is what my Sheldon Can he finally know get that program over the hump to where they could really compete and the ease to get to an SEC championship game. I know the ID of the program. Ray Tanner has been very supportive of Muschamp, but this is a good window for that program that team and do feel for Derrick Mason because I feel like Vanderbilt got robbed against a&m. They should have won that game should have the opportunity to win that game. And since that matchup, it’s been rough for bad. It’s always been rough for Vandy, I hope you know they they keep hold of Mason, but at some point they’re probably going to look elsewhere.
Santiago Leon
Georgia defeated Tennessee 4421 good margin for Georgia.
Stephen M. Smith
Good margin for Georgia Tennessee Pruitt tried to put up a bit of a fight fair. But once again, I mean on paper this is the best defense. The Kirby smart has assembled. So since this time there between the hedges between the hedges and Athens and it looks like finally they’ve got a quarterback to steady the ship there and instead of Bennett is that they thought it would be a Jamie Newman he opts out. You thought that JT Daniels would have been cleared to play earlier. He’s finally been cleared to play. You know recently. I’ve been to one map that they got him out there. So he had some struggles but it just seems like now Stetson Bennett is the guy that’s keeping them you know afloat right now.
Santiago Leon
Auburn defeated Arkansas by only two points.
Stephen M. Smith
I was hurt their Arkansas having Sam Pittman and the hogs head that game and it was a really questionable call there at the end. mean all offers found is running back in tank bigsby Don’t get me wrong tank. That’s a big time running back right there. But Arkansas had that football game. I hurt for Coach Pittman because he coached his tail off and hurt for Arkansas because they played that game down to the tee. This Arkansas team got something good for the future.
Santiago Leon
And finally Kentucky defeated Mississippi State 24 to two Mississippi State I have high hopes with Mike Leach but not panning out as I thought.
Stephen M. Smith
Kentucky I mean, Mike Mark Stoops is a good coach. Mark Stoops is a really good coach a really good defensive coach. But my thing what stoops has always been trying to find the quarterback and he is a Terry Wilson couldn’t find it and somebody else because I mean, Kentucky’s always had to tell you that they’ve had strong rushed attack strong running backs. Okay, this one being Benny step course. It’s got the offensive line. They’ve always had a real solid strong defense. My thing with Kentucky has always been at one at some point. It’s got to get itself a really big time quarterback or maybe Terry Wilson is the guy. He’s got to continue to fine tune in but good when they’re over Mississippi say and not good. mentioned with that with Mike Leach after a big win over over MSU you moved to Arkansas i’m not mistaken and also Arkansas and now it takes a tumble here to Kentucky Mike Leach got to find a way to make those adjustments here. You know with that all offense gotta find a way to make those adjustments there.
Santiago Leon
There is a learning curve when you enter the SEC. Stephen, do you think Georgia could possibly be in the conversation of the best team in the country?
Stephen M. Smith
It has to be so it has to be so it comes down to how does it play this weekend against Alabama as I mentioned there’s a lot on Kirby smart mind there’s a lot but for the third time you’re going against your former boss or former employer. This is the third time you’re facing somebody that you were under for nine years you know him more than most people can you finally tech Can you finally beat him that’s been going through Kirby’s mind it’s been going through his family’s mom most definitely it’s been going through it’s been in the papers that people have been talking about it all over Georgia Of course all over Alabama all over this the SEC it’s the third time Kirby save it can Kirby finally do it and he’s got to put together you know a game plan to ensure himself that he can you know get this done so it comes down to can one of Save as assistance and the one that’s been with him the longest and Kirby smart this point can Kirby pull this out?
Santiago Leon
And definitely be a conversation if they do be Alabama this weekend. Predictions Monday Night Football Stephen chargers at the saints. Who do you got?
Stephen M. Smith
Oh man, okay. Okay. I like with Justin Herbert’s one at quarterback. Right now. saints have kind of had a interesting weird sort of tailspin with the office so I think he’s kind of back on track here recently. Give me New Orleans slightly. I still like the mind of Drew Brees even with the time that he is a Justin Herbert. I still like the mind of Drew Brees and Sean Payton with an Alvin Kamara to steal get this done.
Santiago Leon
And tomorrow the Buffalo Bills at at Tennessee Titans tomorrow Tuesday night football
Stephen M. Smith
Derrick Henry guy Derrick Henry guy Give me the bills. mcdorman McDermott has done a phenomenal job. Not only with this defense, but Josh Abbott is playing ball. Josh as it looks like a young Ben Roethlisberger right now
Santiago Leon
and the connection with him and stefon Diggs been spot on give me the bills and VP Josh Allen season we’ll see what happens. And Paul Question of the day Stephen What is your favorite soup? What is your favorite soup? Is it a tomato soup gumbo cream of mushroom or the old cold when you get a cold chicken noodle soup
Stephen M. Smith
know what know what got gotta go the guy got the old faithful man got got to get that chicken noodle soup with the soda overtop baby chicken. So with a soda on the side. Let’s try that. That that that was actually a dance back in the early 2000s the chicken noodle soup dance shout out to the former artist I dunk B who put out that song I think back in 2000 6071 or two but yeah, chicken noodle soup bear good. Gotta love that
Santiago Leon
chicken noodle soup is winning at 65% tomato soup 20 gumbo at 10 and creamy mushroom at 5%. You go to our Twitter at the sports cast one to vote because you only got 12 hours left. Stephen Smith what is the best way to reach you to talk to you about Georgia and Bama this weekend?
Stephen M. Smith
Well, absolutely they can. People can reach me on twitter at coaching m Smith on Twitter that to get at coaching m Smith on Twitter. I can also be found on on Facebook, Stephen m Smith on Facebook, Steven m Smith there or they can reach me via the the magazine also touchdown Alabama magazine. I got on Twitter, that’s on twitter at TD Alabama mag on Twitter, at TD Alabama mag on Facebook. That is touchdown, Alabama magazine on Facebook. And on the site itself is a touchdown alabama.com as touchdown alabama.com the actual website. as we’d be done, we will be diving out a litany of content Throughout the week as Nick Saban takes on Kirby smart,
Santiago Leon
can’t you can’t go wrong with that. Make sure you follow Steven on Twitter. Also question from the comments. Do you think that this last performance hurt, hurt a grades for the NFL Draft? like Moses or Tainan Ray, do you think it’ll hurt
Stephen M. Smith
it’s it’s as I’m right now diving into, you know, restructuring my draft projections for the week. I don’t think I don’t think Jenna Moses drops out the first round but right now I do that performance I can see him out of the top 10 out of the top 15 at this point because I mean with him I mean, though he met the team with 13 tackles i’m not mistaken there are steel do a lot of play that he missed out there on the field. In terms of Patrick’s for tan. defenses so far, have not been really really challenging him as much they’ve been going out with Daniel right at the safety position more so than than Patrick’s or tan. So I look at certeyn a bit more really want to see this defensive line, get more of a push up front, that’s the group so I’m kind of looking at especially with know some veteran experience in the blind Ray and, and DJ Dale and Christian Bama blunt. So that’s the group that I’m kind of a bit more disappointed with so far as those guys not getting that consistent push want to affect the pocket. So that’s the group I’m looking more so it
Santiago Leon
definitely I think it’s a small sample size, but we’ll see what happens in the next couple of weeks. This is a lot more college football ahead of us and playing some great teams. So we’ll see if these grades go up to maybe an A. That’s that’s always the hope for Alabama. Anyways, you can reach us at the sports cast one on Twitter or on our website, the sports cast, the sports cars dotnet and definitely read our latest articles. Lakers won last night, LeBron got his fourth championship. So definitely a lot of history being made last night and of course this week we got a lot going on with the NFL shuffling their schedule. So definitely keep an eye on that. So far college football has no issues or cases yet, so things are kind of rolling smooth. Steven Smith, thanks for coming on. Great show.
Stephen M. Smith
