This is an IHeart podcast.

Parking lot, total ice rink.

Downtown Nashville, total ice ring.

Ice everywhere. Management draped in copious layers of Lulu lemon somewhere south of town. Nobody in the office except Bradley the associate, who I think lives here at this point. Director Collins here by SLED. I'm told producer Jesse here, I'm here. They're not keeping us off the air tonight. Latekick is live, jam-packed, high atop, an icy downtown Nashville, Tennessee, Alabama. What's happening? Well, I know, I think, I'm going to make some sense of it tonight. Yeah, a lot of change going on in Tuscaloose is a lot for the worse, I guess, but at the very least, we've got change happening. A lot of people are applauding it because a lot of you're dusting off pom-poms, you hadn't been able to wave in their face in the better part of two decades. So we will discuss that tonight. Jim Harbaugh, I would really appreciate a heads up from the Chargers if they're going to hire this guy. I asked them publicly the other day, will you just let me know if you're going to

hire him? Unprofessionally, might I add, they have not responded to me. Florida State bashing

is still happening, and I have not addressed it. But tonight, what is it, January 18th, I think

it is time that we address it. I got some takes on that. I have got someone just flat out calling me bad for college football. I don't know why, but they have.

So that will be among the radical takes portion of the segment tonight or the show tonight.

Kileen, Texas is tuned in. Kingman, Arizona. Great train watching town there, Kingman, Arizona. Greenwood, Mississippi,

Cave Springs, Georgia. I appreciate it. One minor little suggestion here. I guess it's more of a

request. I do this about once a month. It's called begging. And here's the way it goes. 51% of our

viewers slash listeners are unsubscribed to the YouTube channel and podcast. I'm asking you to subscribe because that's the way we keep the show free. That's it. That's all. I'm done begging. They don't really give me a bell to ring. There's not a little pot for you to drop your sub in. That's about as good

as I can do. Okay, so let's make some sense of this thing, as much sense as can be made of college

football. Did you see Congress getting involved in college football today? I am the care bear

jumping in front of the truck every time I see Congress getting involved in college football.

But anyway, that's not what we're going to talk about tonight. I just kind of, my mind dovetailed for a second. So Alabama's having some

portal attrition, huh? For the first time in the modern era, Alabama being victimized by the

mechanisms that make up college football 2004. Here's basically what happened if you've been living in a cave.

Sabin dominated. Saban basically threw the entire sport out the window, down 15 stories into the

parking lot, but the rest of the sport didn't die. They've just been in the parking lot doing

push-ups, and now they've stormed back up the stairs once he retired, and they're all ready to

exact their pound of flesh on Alabama,
