Congratulations, you made it through one of the craziest sports news weeks of all time. Kalen DeBoer is the new head coach of Alabama football, so naturally we cover that extensively. Then there's Michigan's National Championship win, Jim Harbaugh's future, Pete Carroll's retirement (?), the end of Bill Belichick's reign in New England, oh and the NFL Playoffs. Plus NBA, Bama hoops, and a wild week in college basketball. Amazingly, we covered all of that in our normal timeframe.

The time has finally come, and we try our best to come to terms with the greatest run in college football history coming to an end, as Nick Saban announced his retirement on Wednesday. We share our intitial reactions, some memories, what it means for Alabama and college football going forward, and speculate on who comes to Tuscaloosa to replace the greatest college football coach of all time.

Then we talk about the upcoming NFL playoffs, a little Bama hoops, NBA and some other random stuff.

We totally, definitely planned this week's episode out -- it only seems like we just made it up on the fly. A free-flowing conversation this week has us reacting to some big NFL results live, and chatting about the transfer portal, Bama hoops, and more. We're taking next week off, so we'll see y'all on New Year's Day, just in time to preview Alabama/Michigan and Texas/Washington.

What do we talk about when there's no college football? Well, a lot of college football, it turns out. We also talk about the huge offseason moves by the Yankees and Dodgers, NFL, NBA In-Season Tournament finals, and a big stretch for Alabama hoops.

A little crossover action this week, as we got together with Mallory from The Staredown to react in real time to the unveiling of the College Football Playoff field. We talk about why we think the committee made the right choice (beyond Greg and TD being Tide fans), what it means, how the 4-team CFP era compared to the BCS, and how it'll look as it expands to 12 teams next season. We also recap the conference title games, chat about coaching changes and the transfer portal, and some more.

Don't you just love Rivalry Week? Where else can you let your rival have the highest of hopes only to rip them away in the blink of an eye? We, of course, talk about a wild Iron Bowl, as well as close calls for Washington, Florida State and... Georgia? There's also Michigan's continued dominance of Ohio State, the college coaching carousel, a lookahead to Championship Week, and a little bit of NFL and college hoops chat.
