From the Sideline

Shane Lyons had only been on the job as Deputy Athletics Director and COO at Alabama for about three months when the two of us sat down for a pregame meal in Kansas City, MO, prior to a basketball matchup between the Crimson Tide and Kansas State...

Losses are never easy, especially when you feel like you could have won. That's the feeling Alabama had to endure when the Tide got on their charter flight back from College Station to Tuscaloosa Sunday afternoon. Mitch's Gaspard's team looked like it would get overwhelmed when Texas A&M jumped out to 3-0 lead in the Friday night opener. Bu...

There's not a ton to learn from an A-day scrimmage. There is, however, a lot to learn about A-Day weekend. The scrimmage itself is very vanilla and orchestrated. Not much to see in the kicking game, that we didn't already know. JK Scott has a strong leg...

I recently asked someone close to the Alabama men's basketball team what the "number" was.

I’ve been fortunate enough to broadcast from many of the great college basketball venues in America. My first game ever as the play-by-play announcer for Alabama Basketball took place at Madison Square Garden. Since then, I’ve had the privilege to work in historic buildings such as Rupp Arena and Pauley Pavillion, as well as places that double as NBA homes – from Dallas to Boston...
