Barry Moore Gets a Big Thumbs Up!

Alabama's Senate race just got a whole lot more interesting! U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) is celebrating a major endorsement from the Senate Conservative Fund (SCF).

SCF: Moore's the Real Deal

The SCF isn't holding back, folks. They're calling Moore a potential "all-time great" in D.C. The group believes Moore is ready to "pick up right where Coach Tuberville leaves off," championing conservative values like border security, fighting crime, defending the right to life, boosting the economy, and keeping girls' sports sacred.

"Original MAGA Warrior"

The SCF is all in, promising to work hard to get Moore through the Republican Primary and onto a win in November. They're painting Moore as a trustworthy, true-blue conservative. "He’s the original MAGA warrior," they declared. "He has never let us down before. He won’t let us down in the Senate."

Moore Responds

Moore's clearly thrilled. "I’m honored to have the support of the Senate Conservatives Fund," he said, emphasizing their knack for backing candidates who won't buckle under pressure in the "D.C. swamp." Moore added, "Alabama doesn’t need a weathervane politician. I ain’t never been nothing but a conservative Republican.”

Moore's Conservative Credentials

Moore's known for his conservative stance. He was one of the first to endorse Donald Trump back in 2015 and boasts a stellar voting record in the House.

The Race is On

Moore's aiming to fill the shoes of U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn), who's making a run for governor. With the SCF backing him, this race is heating up! They'll even cover all the processing fees and send those sweet, sweet donations straight to Moore's campaign.

Auburn Goes Yellow: Cash Meets the Gridiron

Alright ChumCity crew, you won't believe the latest from the Plains! Auburn's just inked a HUGE eight-figure deal with Yellawood, meaning logos are hitting Pat Dye Field. Yep, you read that right. Money talks, and now it's screaming from the turf!

NIL Takes Over?

Longshore and McKnight are all over this, noting how Auburn's following the trend. Think Kroger Field (Kentucky) or Food City Arena (Tennessee). Next up: jersey patches and full-blown ads? Buckle up!

Bold Predictions & Expert Takes

The podcast duo dropped some BOMBSHELL season predictions too. Texas over Bama in the SEC Championship? Clemson snagging the national title? Get ready for some serious debate! And Range Pro? He's all-in on his FedEx Cup picks, naturally.

Inside Auburn Football

But wait, there's more! Auburn insider Jason Caldwell dished the dirt on the quarterback situation, fall camp grind, and prepping for Baylor. Plus, the big question: Is preseason too darn long? Should college football kick off earlier? The debate is ON!

D.C. Under Siege? Apparently, Peace is Too Much to Ask!

Word on the street is that Washington, D.C., is battling some baddies who are dead-set against its residents enjoying a little peace and quiet. Seriously, what's wrong with wanting to chill?

A Nation United... in Trying to Fix Things

Other cities across the U.S. aren't just sitting around twiddling their thumbs while crime runs wild. They're actually, you know, trying to do something about it! Shocking, right?

Alabama's Got a Handle On It

Take Montgomery and Huntsville, for example. Leaders there decided to actually address the crime surging in their neighborhoods. How? By sending in law enforcement. And guess what? It worked! Crime went down. BOOM.

It's Not Rocket Science, Folks!

Seriously, this isn't brain surgery. You just gotta try to fix the problem!

Alabama Mom Fights for Justice After DUI Tragedy

An Alabama mom is on a mission to overhaul the state's Youthful Offender law after her 19-year-old son tragically lost his life in a DUI crash. Randi McDavid Jones is turning her grief into action, seeking to prevent similar injustices.

The Heartbreaking Loss of Nolan McDavid

Nolan McDavid, a bright University of South Alabama student, was killed last November when a 17-year-old driver, allegedly speeding at 117 mph, crossed the center line and collided head-on with Nolan's vehicle. The driver's blood alcohol content was reportedly 0.111, with Valium also detected in his system.

Youthful Offender Status Sparks Outrage

Despite an initial charge of reckless manslaughter being upgraded to reckless murder, a judge granted the defendant Youthful Offender status. This decision caps the sentence at three years and seals the case from public view, sparking outrage from Nolan's mother. "This sends the message that in Alabama, you can drive drunk, take a life, and still receive a soft, sealed sentence," Jones stated.

Pushing for Legislative Change

Jones is now urging lawmakers to reform the Youthful Offender statute. She's teamed up with State Rep. Phillip Pettus, who has prefiled House Bill 11 for the upcoming 2026 legislative session. The bill would mandate that anyone 16 or older charged with murder or capital murder be automatically tried as an adult, removing judicial discretion in these violent crime cases.

Addressing Concerns and Seeking Accountability

Jones has also raised concerns about alleged connections between the defendant's family and the handling of the case, including reports of the defendant's father, a former police sergeant, being present at the scene and facing termination due to a witness complaint. "The people of Alabama deserve to know that the life of an innocent victim will always carry more weight than the protection of an offender," she asserts.

A Mother's Plea

Jones is determined to honor her son's memory and ensure that the Youthful Offender law isn't used to shield violent offenders from accountability. Her heartbreaking story underscores the urgent need for change, urging lawmakers to consider Nolan's case as motivation to push for reform.

Remembering Nolan

"Nolan had a mind the world desperately needed," Jones shared in a video. "And now, because of someone else’s reckless, deliberate actions, he will never turn 20."

HUGE News From The Plains!

Auburn just dropped a bombshell announcement! The legendary Jordan-Hare Stadium will now feature "Pat Dye Field" emblazoned on its turf, honoring the iconic coach who transformed Auburn football.

YellaWood Comes to the Table

NIL Game Changer?

This deal isn't just about a cool-looking field. It's expected to be a major boost to Auburn's NIL efforts. With revenue sharing becoming crucial, this partnership provides a creative way to generate funds and stay competitive in the ever-evolving world of college athletics.

Rane on Dye: "He Meant Business"

Rane himself spoke passionately about Coach Dye's impact. Recalling Dye's introductory press conference in 1981, Rane said, "You knew damn well he meant business. From that day forward... that's the attitude and grit he brought to Auburn's program." He emphasized his desire to honor Dye above all else, ensuring the YellaWood name was secondary to the legendary coach.

Freeze & Auburn Stars Weigh In

The program even released a video featuring Coach Hugh Freeze and Rane, alongside Auburn stars, all celebrating Dye's legacy and the new field design. The excitement is palpable!

More Than Just a Sponsorship

Athletics Director John Cohen echoed the sentiment: "To Jimmy and to Auburn, this is so much more than a sponsorship agreement."
