You mean making TV ads pretending that you know how to carry a gun, having a goofy nickname, & shooting skeet don’t necessarily equal a winning campaign in Alabama?

@AmericaFirstBB @WVNN I’m usually a fan of low turnout because it means that only serious people who pay attention to the issues are voting, but I was a little shocked at just how low it was, even for a midterm

@bamachrishsv @WVNN Sad ain’t it! My polling place is usually at least wrapped around one corner. I walked right in and out today at 7. Maybe 10 people inside voting.

At 6:00 in the evening, I was voter #450 of the day at my polling place. @WVNN

@macandcube @GregMcElroy I remember seeing him nifty on his feet in the 2009 SEC Championship Game

Expecting a big year from our boy @GregMcElroy this year!

@BarackObama If it is Election Day and you have to search to find your polling station, you shouldn’t vote. That is a basic civic responsibility to know ahead of time. If you don’t know something so fundamental, then you shouldn’t be making serious decisions about the future of the country

The decisions made by state supreme courts touch every part of our lives. And that’s especially important when voting rights and basic freedoms are being challenged. Today, voters in Georgia can stand up for fairness and integrity by electing Miracle Rankin and Jen Jordan to Georgia’s Supreme Court. Let’s get this one right, Georgia. Find your nearest polling station and cast your ballot before 7pm ET:  IWillVote.com/GA

Make your lunch at home. Show some personal responsibility. A PB&J or ham sandwich with a couple of pieces of fruit & chips is not that much and adds up over time. How many people are also buying their morning coffee from Starbucks, too? Foolish

If you haven’t educated yourself on the candidates & issues, DO NOT vote. Voting isn’t a virtue in & of itself. You have a civic responsibility to be informed, not a civic responsibility to vote. If you are uninformed, you are cancelling the vote of an informed citizen. @WVNN

@TrussTribune @pbtide @jeff_poor Whatever anyone says about @MoBrooksAL20, one thing is for sure: He is the genuine article. He is not fake. He believes everything he says. I thought he, like a lot of others, made an error in buddying up to Trump, but Mo is as honest as they come.

Commentary by @jeff_poor No one to blame but themselves. trussvilletribune.com/2026/05/16/no-…

@10AJMcCarron’s back shoulder throw to Norwood @ 5:15 was pure greatness. @macandcube

@pbtide @miles_commodore As I child, I used to wonder if “Janet” was played by Joan Jett, because they sure looked like the same person to me.

@miles_commodore Yes, and Team Janet.

Were you watching in 1977?

@Harpfrmhel @FrankLuntz @Alicia_Smith19 Not only is he unlikeable, but people think he doesn’t actually believe anything

@FrankLuntz @Alicia_Smith19 He’s not likable. The podcast circuit won’t change that. I feel like the time he went into the ice cream parlor and the woman didn’t know who he was or want him filming her, kind of summed up his appeal.

Warning signs for JD…

Huge news for Nashville. @977ESPN

@nettermike @pbtide This is not true. The groundbreaking of the JFK Library did not even occur until 1977.

Please Read! On May 8, 1965, more than a year after Kennedy’s death, Dwight D. Eisenhower did something that revealed just how deeply the loss still weighed on him. Despite his own failing health and doctors’ warnings—he was 74 and recovering from his third heart attack—Eisenhower traveled to the Kennedy Library groundbreaking ceremony in Boston. Standing beside Jacqueline Kennedy, he told the assembled crowd something that made even hardened reporters weep: "President Kennedy possessed the greatest campaign weapon any man could have—he had Jacqueline Kennedy by his side, but more than that, he possessed a quality I grew to admire deeply in our many conversations—the courage to admit when he didn’t know something and the wisdom to seek counsel." What made the moment even more powerful was Eisenhower’s revelation that he had kept every letter Kennedy had ever written him, bound carefully in a private collection he called “Letters from a Young Lion.” That day, he donated them to the future Kennedy Library, saying he wanted history to know their friendship had been real—that politics hadn’t divided them where it mattered most. Jackie Kennedy squeezed Eisenhower’s hand and whispered something those nearby heard: “He called you his North Star, General. He never stopped seeking your guidance.” Eisenhower’s voice broke as he replied, “And I never stopped believing in him.” Here were two people from different worlds—the widowed First Lady and the retired Republican general—united in grief and mutual respect. They showed us that the bonds forged in service to country transcend everything else. This is the America worth fighting for—the one where we see each other’s humanity first.

@mikesparkman @pbtide He did in ‘83 & ‘84, mostly for road games

@pbtide Wore them into the 80's. Actually, I think Perkins brought them back.

I’m pro white helmet. I think I’ve heard the quarterbacks name too.

Seems like the James Lomax vs Mo Brooks State House District 20 race basically comes down to whether you support legalized gambling. @WVNN @ALcomHuntsville

@mikesparkman @pbtide I didn’t know that he died so young. Honestly, he looks much older than 57 in that photo.

@pbtide Jim and Eli were buddies. I had heard they'd ride to the Iron Bowl together, but I don't know if that is true.

Much respect. Jim Fyffe was an outstanding broadcaster and represented Auburn so very well.

@mikesparkman @matthewbwake Black Label was probably my favorite local cover band. I’m not sure if they ever played Vapors. They played Sports Page a lot, but Vapors was always awesome

@bamachrishsv @matthewbwake I saw one of the best cover bands I have ever seen one night at the Vapors.

Had a great chat with Black Crowes guitarist Rich Robinson. We talked about Rich's iconic guitar playing, underrated Crowes songs, Guns N' Roses connections, and the Crowes' early days playing dives around the South. al.com/life/2026/05/g…

@thomabrahamshow @mikesparkman He would never make it in the military or a police academy

How is this even a thing? Be on time...which is 5 minutes before your time, standing on the Tee, chillin. There is at least 8 minutes between groups...stop talking, just say, I was late...

@mikesparkman @matthewbwake Vapors what THE spot

@matthewbwake I could have sworn they played the Vapors back in the day, but I'm probably misremembering that. Pretty sure Hootie played Vapors though.

@NextRoundLive The really interesting thing would have been of Auburn had hired him over Malzahn in 2012

WHAT IF: Predicting how college football would've changed over the last decade if Kirby Smart had taken the South Carolina job at the end of the 2015 season INSTEAD of the Georgia job
