53 min - TNR 2/25/26 - Hour 2 | Alabama vs. Mississippi State PREVIEW & Why We LOVE Jon Sumrall
- The Alabama Crimson Tide have a home tilt tonight facing Mississippi State at 8:00 on ESPNU.

- Alabama also now controls their own destiny for the 2-Seed in the SEC Tournament in Nashville meaning the Crimson Tide would earn the Double Bye and not have to play a game until Friday.
- Another reason this show loves Florida Football coach Jon Sumrall.
- Tennessee Titans uniform change coming?

1 hr 1 min - TNR 2/23/26 - Hour 1 | USA Hockey GRABS GOLD! Mark Pope MELTS DOWN After Auburn Loss!
- The United States Men’s Hockey team won gold for only the third time in Winter Olympics history Sunday. The 2-1 OT win caps an incredible Olympics for the US men’s and women’s teams.
- The Auburn Tigers found themselves on Joe Lunardi’s NCAA Tournament cut line Saturday morning, that was one of the stories leading into their game with the Kentucky Wildcats, making it feel even more impactful. Auburn Basketball fought from behind in the second half to secure a 75-74 win and break a five game losing skid.
- The game was not without controversy on both sides as Kentucky Basketball was the beneficiary of two questionable fouls at the end of the first half while Auburn benefited from a call at the end of the game. It was the final call that had Mark Pope steaming after his news conference.
- The Alabama Crimson Tide got a 90-83 road win at LSU Saturday. Alabama Basketball had five players in double figures en route to the win. This came on the heels of Alabama being left out of the NCAA selection committee’s top 16 teams. Committee co-chair Martin Newton indicated Alabama and Arkansas are just on the outside looking in.
- The NCAA Selection Committee released their Top 16 seeds just before Saturday’s games. Only Florida and Vanderbilt were an-momma the 16, yet KenPom has the SEC still rated as the best conference in the nation. Which is more accurate?
