This is Thunder and Lightning here on Super Talk, Mississippi.

Brian, Hey Dad, here with you for another special edition of the Thunder and

Lightning podcast today.

It is our SDC West compilation.

I want to thank you guys for tuning in at supertalk.fm or wherever it is you get

podcasts from. I appreciate all of y'all. Our great listeners, especially our servicemen and women out there serving us. Earlier this week, we had the SEC East. Today it's the SEC West. All of our previews from our spring wraparound series we did over the past couple of months. One less interview, obviously. No Mississippi State preview in here. If you need Mississippi State football information, I would suggest you listen to the Thunder and Lightning podcast five days a week here at Supertalk.fm. Or wherever it is that you get podcasts from. So, we'll start off with the defending SEC. No, no, I guess we are. They aren't the defending. Gosh, you sort of fall into old

habits there, but we'll try to keep it here in alphabetical order. So we'll start off with the

Alabama Crimson Tide, and we'll go from there. Let's jump into our spring wraparounds

of the SEC West. So we'll start our wraparound of the SEC

spring practices with Alabama. We're just going alphabetically. I don't want anything to go to anybody's head. I don't want, you know, wondering why Alabama was first. I just went alphabetically. I don't want to hear from any Georgia fans wondering why we didn't go with them first. Alabama, to meet, I got Travis Ryer. I'm sorry. I didn't do the introduction. Travis Ryer from Bamal Online, that's their 24-7 side. He's been covering the tie for a long, long time. Travis, when I look at this Alabama team, you know, I'm looking ahead to media days and I'm thinking for the first time since I've been going there, I don't think I'm going to vote Alabama first in the West this year. I think I'm going to vote LSU first.

I just feel like there's a lot of questions surrounding this Alabama team, more than there's been in recent years. Just looking at the spring, what are the questions they need to answer

coming into the spring? Well, Brian, I think you're going to have company in that regard. I would

be surprised if LSU isn't the preseason pick of the assembled media at 2023 SEC media days.

But, yeah, I mean, when you start at the quarterback position,

if you wanted to just look at LSU situation with Jaden Daniels coming back in Alabama in the market for a new starter post Bryce Young,

then absolutely.
