I believe this was rumored but it is now official. Tyler Watts will be in the booth with Eli Gold while Wilson heads up NIL for the Tide.

I heard that JPW didnt really want to give up the job in the booth, but when CNS asks you to do something, its hard to say no. I didnt know it had to do with NIL though.

What does this have to do with NIL?

Wilson was decent I guess. I do not expect Watts to be much better.

JPW is going to work in some capacity with Yea Alabama. Reportedly at the request of Coach Saban.

I’m so ready for Chris Stewart to take over full time from Eli. He needs to stay home with his grandkids.

I am glad that Eli's health is allowing him to return to the booth. I am also thankful for his many years of service but he needs to hang it up and enjoy retirement.

I know I am in the minority with this opinion, and will get downvoted to hell, but I absolutely cannot stand listening to Eli Gold. Come on Chris Stewart!

I issued the first one. I do love Eli's voice, but it IS unique. As sportscasters go, uniqueness is the key to being remembered.

I used to love Eli but Stewart is superior right now, I love his basketball calls and he was a great fill-in

Eli has some unforgettable calls though

I like Stewart as a bball guy. I’m glad Bama has him. But . . .

Us older guys will tell you, Eli was one of the best ever at basketball.

Eli is only doing home games this year. So we get Chris guaranteed 5 games.
Who knows about any postseason game coverage
