Alabama legends AJ McCarron and Trent Richardson join Chris Stewart, the voice of Crimson Tide football and men's basketball, to talk all things Alabama athletics. They start the show by sharing their thoughts on Alabama’s incoming football transfer class and wondering if the team has done enough to fix what plagued them in 2025. And while we’re on the subject of the transfer portal, AJ has some serious concerns with the number of players across the sport that entered the portal this offseason. How did we arrive at this point and where is college football headed?

Then, the guys weigh in on this year’s national championship game and Curt Cignetti leading Indiana to a 16-0 season. They give Fernando Mendoza his props and break down the play that sunk Miami’s chances of pulling off the upset.

And finally, remember former Crimson Tide basketball player Charles Bediako? Well guess what? You can remove the word “former” as Bediako has been temporarily cleared to play for the Tide, despite playing for three NBA G-League teams since leaving Tuscaloosa after the 2023 season. While this might be good news for Bama, what does it say about the state of college sports? The guys share their thoughts.
