Ryan Grubb Makes Headlines and Alabama's Good SEC Tournament Fortune on The Joe Gaither Show

Let's fire up a Friday edition of "The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral" with Theo Fernandez as we prepare for tonight's SEC Tournament quarterfinal game between Alabama and Ole Miss. The program starts with football topics after visiting with the Alabama offensive coordinator, transitions to basketball and then has a short baseball preview as the Crimson Tide opens SEC play this weekend.

Alabama Football Practice Report from Third Spring Practice

The program begins with returning to the football practice field yesterday and discussing what offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb said in the Hank Crisp Indoor Facility. Grubb confirmed what Fernandez said about the quarterbacks on Thursday, but said they were better in the first two days of spring practice. Grubb continued in his press conference and made headlines, naming Jackson Lloyd the Crimson Tide's starting left tackle. The program dives into that decision and discusses the potential advantage of naming Lloyd the starter that early.
