In this story:

Let's fire up a Monday edition of "The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral" with Theo Fernandez as we discuss the Crimson Tide's Sweet 16 loss to the Michigan Wolverines. Alabama was outmatched in the second half in Chicago and was eliminated by the top seed in the Midwest Region. The show discusses the game, fallout and reactions from the locker room and roster management before turning our attention to Crimson Tide baseball.

The program opens with accountability as our hosts took things too far on Friday's show. We apologize and give a little explinations where our minds were at before diving headfirst into the Sweet 16 game in Chicago.
