A Super Talk Mississippi Media Production.

So joining me now as he does basically every year at this time is my good friend Michael

Casagrande from A.L.com.

You said you were anticipating my text the other day.

Is that accurate?

Yeah, it's Mississippi State Week.

It's time to talk to Brian.

So carve out 10 minutes of my week and I'm ready to roll.

I am a routine. I'm a creature of routine of habit. And I don't like to change things up. I got a good Alabama guy. I stick with them. That's how I'm going to work with things. But this is not a routine season for Alabama. Normally when we have you on, I always make the same joke about, oh, hey, it's talk about Alabama and how great they are and this, that, and the other.

And this year, you know, we've got a loss on the schedule at this point that you would normally have predicted.

Going back to last Saturday, did Texas A&M just play their best game when Alabama wasn't at their best?

Or are there real flaws in this Alabama team?

I think there's a little bit of truth in both statements. I think, I mean, I hadn't seen too much

of Texas A&M, to be honest, just from the way schedules worked out before Saturday, but it didn't

look like they were much of an offensive juggernaut. Obviously, two previous weeks, one of them against Mississippi State, you know, those two

previous weeks, they combined the score as many points to score, you know, Saturday night

against Alabama.

So there wasn't much indication that this was coming from Texas A&M quarterback, obviously because out it was left the field

in tears after the Mississippi State game is not necessarily a precursor to somebody who's

going to come out and beat Alabama the following week. So yeah, it didn't have the feel going

into this game. But I think there are also some flaws with this Alabama team,

but it's not the team that it was last year,
