Join me now on the Welcome Home Beef Hotline, my good friend Brett Hudson from the Tuscaloosa News.

That's all the intro you're going to get because you don't deserve any more than that.

That's fair.

I hope I at least deserve some to meet for Welcome Home Beef.

I see all the stuff on your Twitter.

I feel like I need some.

So I'll live with the lacklustre introduction

if I'm getting some quality meat out of the beef.

I think we can try to make that happen for you.

Real quick question, do you have a co-pilot with you today?

No, they are in daycare now.

So I am unencumbered by baby at the moment.

Okay, that's good news. That's good news.

Let's get into it. This Alabama team, we talked about them back during the summer.

We both knew they were going to be really, really good. They've been really, really good.

Has anything surprised you about them, though?

I thought I would get more progression out of the defense.

I thought the defense would be a little bit better than it has been.

And I think people locally are kind of encouraged by the Tennessee game

and in the second half of the Georgia game.

But those are two offenses that aren't really built to test the modern excellent defense
