Second-year Alabama head coach Rob Vaughn joins the show to talk about the Crimson Tide’s strong start and about his electric sophomore shortstop, Justin Lebron. Vaughn also discusses his Nostrodamus abilities, what he's learned about his team heading into SEC play and when he knew that he wanted to retain pitching coach Jason Jackson from the previous staff.

Later in the episode, SEC Extra contributor and D1Baseball national writer Joe Healy joins the show to talk about the SEC, which has amassed a ridiculous .851 win percentage with only three teams having more than three losses in non-conference play up to this point. He also breaks down the most surprising teams so far this season and the most intriguing matchup for the opening weekend of SEC play.
