There's reason number 568 million of why you should be listening from in-depth reporting on the shortage of black sperm how one house of the Dragon star is dealing with online trolls who don't love seeing black Dragon riders lose sleep over the word about things that are beyond my control described to be like a month on the Odyssey Apple or whatever you get your podcast smack type in the front door good record. Required to play golf. Throw the Starbucks card had you had him one warm your aura. Tournament 33rd annual Robert. You are right Kermit broke. I feel good two time winner. This event, so I am doing right now. Now, congratulations. First off, but did you play well like did they have to carry you along it was for someone else leading the way.I cleared my work towards a whole."

Actually took a 30 foot portal were able, so I made my job record number.you know when they call in the ring. Are you going to show up. How would you evaluate your golf gives you to give me a full scouting report. Don't take them for granted. But don't expect great. Sounds like a port you play with 111 displayed my 111 start here with DOS.

If Bryce Young does play for Alabama this weekend. I feel like people, but that's not with any knowledge is just a feeling that I have. What can we expect well from Bryce Young, and often injure the AC joint spring.

I think the biggest thing is your lot more protected grow so maybe a lot more on the boot loader intermediate level Pro will express a feeling really trite way.you beer give them lien on the motion and movement of Bryce showing the kind of mask the fact that he can't drop back and just watch it 50 yards so you're getting a lot more movement from them but a lot of play action. A lot of gave with the offense of line which over Tennessee that could be one of their Achilles heel right defense, holding back what they can do because you don't know what pressure you to do what he can't hurt to speak as well as his arm so the anonymity can really hurt them but the big thing to be. Can Alabama actually keep up with the scoring that Tennessee could present because if you like to spread you out like you declare earlier. That's where you take advantage of you. So can Alabama possessed the ball long enough to mitigate the scoring capabilities of Tennessee. This Alabama team and I usually never doubt them.

But there's been a lot of fun characters act uncharacteristic things was been seen from the sheer penalties turnovers we look at the games against Texas and also Texas A&M you concerned about this Alabama team that maybe they're not as good as what we thought they were heading into the year.

I think the biggest thing is that this is the one year were you looking for a bit and look of the authority that he holds is probably one of the teams that he doesn't have as much of a grasp over is normally you can actually pump the heart to create the heartbeat from the team. I think this team got a response a little bit different but little cousin Jermaine Burton Junior was on that squad attributable from Georgia and it seems to be a different squad like when they getting rhythm are great and they look like classic Alabama, but the problem is when they are out of sync. It's really bad and you can notice it, but Bryce Young really make cures all those bills and so you don't have Bryce Young in the lineup and you so would you remember what was in there. It's a struggle he's talented to have the reps you have the cash aid you have the respect of the opposing defenses so you really need Bryce showing in their really command that extra level of this dictation and disciplined by the defense of that you can exploit it. But when he's not in that lineup – when it becomes more of an issue so I mean if you want to be Tennessee, not to say that Bryce Young is the end-all be-all, but you going to be a reason why they went about what it was. Not to cause any problems in the family but how do you kind of evaluate that wide receiver room because for so many years Alabama has had 345 great wide receivers have gone early in the first round second round of the draft an issue that wide receiving room just doesn't look like a normal Alabama wide receiving room yet that their underperforming greatly. I made view of the attention to detail. Like you said, the dynamic play capability is not where you don't have that guy who could literally break loose like a James Williams or Julio Jones or Devante Smith every week and name receivers right from that list. I mean it is more of a possessive car like you know the NFL equipment.

How can the city is where they don't have the tire utility more.

They have the Jews using the mark as Elvis Gatling's and Company – with their team and there's a great possession receivers but there's no breakaway explosive play receivers in there and this often so I think you have to rely more on account of the old 2012 Alabama where it was led by the running that group. So to hear Gibbs is your Bell cow in full as his Bryce Young is the one that moved the needle with a little bit additional rush, but also put the ball, and anchor place where you could move the chains but no like to break off 78 yard run. Tennessee will be ready for the moment because they've had a great year.

Everyone's praising him leading into this matchup. Even though Alabama does look as great as they have been in recent years, but it still Alabama at the end of the day, and they're still undefeated football team to fill Alabama your respective door otherwise given right team have done it for over a decade and they are a mainstay we are talking about college football. You can't mention Calico without mentioning the brand that is Alabama football and to be there until they get beat and I think that's how you have to treat them with respect what you have to say that Tennessee is building Tennessee is, I think Hooker is a pure bona fide Heisman candidate. All this could be another test for them if they can get over this test and the Georgia test.

If you believe these two. I mean it's tremendous. But if you lose in a very competitive game to one if not both of them.

Tennessee still come back if you truly solidify themselves of the top three team in the SEC and they just have to go out and play, you can't play tents got play loose because all the pressures on the teams that are given to those number one and number two slot number three slot in the college football ranking and in the AP poll. But if you got there and you quit yourself really well yeah you see it is that real the threat and I think all offensively, they are because we're probably about a year away, but the way your office is court. Conducting itself the way they spread things out by going all the way literally to the sidelines with some of their splits importing to declare something that you you can't you show your card and want to show your card to them are very deadly payments as window Hooker just type what like all good this game between Bham and Tennessee. Mac starts with want to give that gift to the roof. It's not Alabama -9 points to cover that Oliver to win but I say they cover a nine point spread there enough estate TCU. I know everyone's talking Alabama Tennessee. I think this is going to be probably the best game of the weekend just because I cow them, Tennessee.

I would not surprise me if it ends up being a blowout that nine point line seems all but fishy to me. But, Tennessee attic which is good I TCU I think just getting a lot of points and this is good to be a back-and-forth attracting absolutely. Or maybe what you have in TCU TCU about five yacht cargo bay bit it may better keep that gone out and defied to get everybody up until last week.

I believe the bridge JEOPARDIZING the city Kansas and now since TCU has emerged utilizing these two teams are the next best. I think Kansas is still good. Have one of the two representatives in the big 12 championship at Kansas State now over Kansas correctly like the one you're kind of over for them.

But TCU has been the team at Outlook at Oklahoma State has been a state of consistency over last couple years under Gundy.

But I think TCU the team looking to take it. But you're right it's good to be a high scoring affair.

I don't like about both these defenses, but I do love both of their offenses, I think, is give your Gabe, who at the Kadesh last USC, Utah, and the battles and anyone could've expected this year, but I don't. I think USC is the best team in the Pac 12 by this get the feel of this is the game or the tactile shoots itself in the foot. Were you tardy has two losses.

We know there good team on paper that USC drop this one this weekend and they and they go to six and one with you that because like you said regularly. Caleb Williams and company mandate that they utilize the triple portal better than anybody thought, and they builder juggernaut but I can't discount you talk to him rising. I watched the last two years I can call the practical championship a year ago and that you talk like you're such a veteran squad like they got the experience on their side I think is one of those were you upset the apple cart.

That is what cost you the college, while playoff berth for USC right before they leave to go to the Big Ten but I do like you timeless games. I think they can they can match up with USC better than a lot of other Pac 12 is Michigan upset alert this week hosting Penn State yes I think they are, because I think you will think Michigan schedule does not play into their strengths. They have a very light schedule so they need everyone to be convincing. I think Penn State brings her running came with love those young young guys in the backfield. That's going to give them to give Michigan problems defenses good impact her situation, but not great. Get the rush that I think is getting exploited and Penn State really strong is the one and the quarterback position, please off of them. I think that they could sneak this and got upset the apple cart and in the Big Ten and hurt Michigan seer program in Florida.

The school you went to. I know that they had that big winner early in the year and then you have some growing pains when you have, I do a coaching hillbilly Napier did a great job on his last job Anthony Richardson what you think his pro prospects are because there was a lot of talk about him being potentially the first quarterback off the board. After that big went up against Utah overinflated x-ray cages for every risk to have to play more experience and he's getting that good bad or indifferent. You could see him transforming as a pastor.

We look at it again right over 40 yards passing in that contest was a losing effort. But he's growing I think you need a requisite for dumping comes out this year. I think you have to wait another year and then after next right thing here is that God that we believe to be this year just for your deferred but he's wearing a lot under underbelly Napier event and that coaching staff there really teaching those guys how to play football. Creating a culture that he wants for the same success over the years before a lecture on Mac starts you being a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers. You went into super balls with that franchise. Knowing Coach Mike Tomlin well still is in a rough spot right now one and four. It seems like this could be the first year he's going to finish below 500 what you say to Steelers fans that may be on the side of hey, maybe it's time to part ways of Mike Tomlin as a coach. I like the ball got drinking the Kool-Aid after drinking to follow spaceship you are in the wrong court right now.

The first thing about faith you've enjoyed unprecedented success over the last 18 years. This is what this is how the rest of you deal with on a more often basis the first "losing. Would you still have 12 games left in the season to prove that so but you have a rookie quarterback at the helm you work you are receiving the other second-year Titanic that your left tackle that you're running back in key positions on the screen for pleasure without TJ water for the better part of how it's a seven week of the season. Patience is a virtue and patient type. Patience pays off. And yet Fisher might not be up to the standards that you want, but understand your 18 years of greatness. A lot of teams can't support that you have the number four overall winning percentage in all of NFL history is 1970s is AFL NFL merger calm down a little bit. It takes transitions and I know you're not used to it, but this is what people go through and effectively went to work for the first time in 18 years.

You should be grateful I'll say if they were to get rid of how much they're not going to after the season.

I think Tom will be in a better spot for his future than the Steelers would be because he's such a damn good coach and if he becomes available. You know a team like the Chargers of the Broncos and the cowboys would scoop them up in a second fire their fitting head coach you had know where the part of a lot of pirates out there like you will be the most sought after head coach in all of football, college and pro included so you realize that the grass is not greener. If you lose Mike, you know, that's when we were together at Ceres I love Houston shows the always great to have you on here on CBS sports radio.

Have a good weekend and keep on it and straighten right. My pleasure that you have a great night and a great weekend, but same event.
