The guys open the show by going through some listener feedback on the latest Auburn football trivia episode. Then they look at how the Tigers took home a national title in track and field and nearly grabbed another before looking at how the athletic program did from top to bottom in 2023-24.
They also dissect the big basketball news of Dan Hurley turning down the Lakers — which means that, yes, Bruce Pearl will not be the next head coach at UConn. There’s also a discussion of Auburn and Alabama’s basketball rosters for next season, how much respect the rivalry should get on the hardwood and the confidence levels coming out of both camps.
Towards the end of the episode, the guys talk about Jabari Smith coming back to Lee County for his youth basketball camp and his pitch to Auburn’s top recruits. Dan also starts casting his new FX original miniseries “JetGate.”
