You are Locked on Balls, your daily podcast on the Tennessee Volunteers.

Part of the Locked On Podcast Network, your team every day.

Well, good Thursday, everybody.

Welcome into Locked On the Walls, your team every single day.

I want to welcome you on to a Thursday show, and thanks for making Locked-on Balls your first listen every single day.

I'm Eric Kane, radio personality in Knoxville, and 991, the Sports Animal, as well as a writer for the ballquest.com website.

That's rivals covering Tennessee football and recruiting.

And today we are crossing over with our Lock on Alabama host Luke Robinson and let me just

put this out there right now I know a lot of you guys don't like the crossovers this will be the

third one I've done I didn't get a lot of feedback from the Missouri crossover I did I thought

he was outstanding I thought both were fine I thought he was outstanding with the Missouri both were fine. I thought he was outstanding with

the Missouri. But Luke does a good job here, breaking it down from a fan's perspective of what

Alabama football is this year and kind of how he views Tennessee. So we are crossing over today,

myself and Luke Robinson, and that's kind of the premise of the episode. Hope you guys stay around and

listen and kind of hear the ends and the outs of what Alabama football is this year from someone who's around the program, obviously, a lot more than we are, just watching them play nationally tell us games seemingly every single weekend.

So that's what we're going to do.

We're talking about the offense, the defense, the rivalry, what it means, and how Tennessee can make this a ball game.

So looking forward to the show here

today, a crossover episode of Locked on Balls and Locked on Bama with myself and Luke Robinson.

Coming up on tomorrow's show, just a little preview, we will chat with Roger Hoover, a guy that

graduated from the University of Tennessee. He's a part of the Ball Radio Network family, but he is a part of the Crimson Tide Sports Network now. He does

baseball play-by-play, does studio hosting for football. He's the women's basketball play-by-play guy.
