Hey, welcome in to another edition of Bama and Bourbon with Aaron Suttles from

Yale, Alabama.

I'm Lance Taylor from the next round.

We talk Bama, we talk Bourbon, and we're going to get to Johnny Drum.

Never heard of this, you?

It's private stock, whatever that means.

But no, I have not heard of Johnny Drum.

Very cheesy here, strike up the band for Alabama and the 12 team playoff.

Bards Town.

Bardstown is a good place, good location.

Good heritage.

Okay, so, like, I don't think any of us really thought that this could be a thing on Sunday morning.

And on Saturday, I reached out to you after the game to see where you were because I was actually having some bourbon with some of our friends. I hate that I missed that. But you flew back, right? Yeah. And I don't know what the conversation, like I don't know what the mood was. I mean, can you go into that? Because talking to people in the industry, people were unsure. People were unsure. They're like, damn, I saw Greganky on Sunday morning in the lobby. He was like, I didn't get a lot of sleep.

But, I mean, what were your thoughts and what were people saying around you? So I still thought they were getting in because, look, I think it's a dangerous precedent to leave the number one seed in the SEC out. I understand how the game played

Out. I understand the final score, but I'd also think that final score was not indicative of that game. I'm not saying Alabama was ever in it because I don't honestly I don't think they were

But if you're trying to keep it close

You punt deep in your own territory. That was a

touchdown. Block punt. That was a touchdown. Interception led to a touchdown. So defense is

still playing at a very, very high level. Offense, you're one-dimensional. You've got a lot of

injuries. Guys, even with all that, you dropped a touchdown

pass. Germ dropped the pass. He doesn't normally drop. So I looked at it, I'm like,

that game wasn't 28 to 7 in terms of how it actually played out. It was probably more like

2814, 2817. But that's just the way it goes. And if you
