Rose Bowl Reality Check: Alabama’s Loss, Ty Simpson Goes Pro & Portal Chaos | Bama and Bourbon

Lance Taylor from The Next Round and Aaron Suttles from Yea Alabama break down the end of Alabama’s 2025 campaign. The guys recap Alabama’s season-ending loss to Indiana in the Rose Bowl in the College Football Playoff, what went wrong for the Crimson Tide, and what the game revealed about the direction of the program. Lance and Aaron also discuss Ty Simpson’s decision to go pro, what it means for Alabama’s quarterback room, and dive head-first into the lunacy of the transfer portal — from roster turnover and NIL chaos to how Kalen DeBoer and the Tide can navigate the new college football landscape moving forward. As always, the conversation is paired with a quality pour. This week’s bourbon is Kentucky Vintage, a classic bottle that fits perfectly with reflection, big-picture discussion, and offseason talk. The guys share tasting notes and why it’s a solid choice for football fans and bourbon enthusiasts alike. 🥃 If you’re an Alabama Football fan or love talking college football over a good bourbon, this episode is for you. 👉 Be sure to LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE to The Next Round YouTube channel for more episodes of Bama and Bourbon, where Crimson Tide analysis and bourbon appreciation meet every week — in season and beyond. #AlabamaFootball #RollTide #BamaAndBourbon #CollegeFootballPlayoff #CrimsonTide #TySimpson #NFLDraft #TransferPortal #NIL #CollegeFootball #SECFootball #Bourbon #BourbonReview #WhiskeyTasting #BourbonEnthusiast Learn more about your ad choices.
