Morgan Wallen Trolled Bama Fans, Ty Simpson Created Controversy and Weekend Recap on The Joe Gaither Show
Let's fire up a Monday edition of "The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral" with Theo Fernandez as we discuss concerts in Bryant-Denny Stadium, Ty Simpson's comments on Indiana's defense, the basketball program losing two players over the weekend and both diamond sports in action.
The show opens with Fernandez recounting his Saturday evening as he was one of the thousands in attendance for the Morgan Wallen concert. Was it worth the hassle? How did Bryant-Denny Stadium handle the crowd? Fernandez discusses Wallen's performance, his trolling of Alabama fans with orange wristbands and we debate who might play in the stadium next.

We move from the concert into football where Ty Simpson created a small controversy over the weekend in a seemingly innocent compliment of the Indiana defense. Why was Bryant Haines upset at the former Crimson Tide quarterback's take on his defense?
Amari Allen Announces Decision Regarding Basketball Future
The show keeps rolling as we discuss Alabama basketball. The Crimson Tide saw two more players leave the program. Is Davion Hannah a significant loss? Will Amari Allen withdraw his name from the NBA Draft pool next month? We discuss Allen's impact and what it may take to get him back in Tuscaloosa for a second season.
