It's a huge Wednesday for Alabama athletics so let's cover several topics on "The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral". 

We open the program with rumors circulating about Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh. He's apparently getting closer to accepting the head coaching job with the Los Angeles Chargers. Will that create a ripple effect throughout college football as Michigan fills its pending vacancy? How will Alabama respond to Michigan's roster potentially having the opportunity to transfer?

The program continues by talking about social media sensation "Roll Tide Willie". "Roll Tide Willie" has created himself a big brand by being a die-hard Alabama athletics fan. Some have suggested he may be taken advantage of, but is he really living his best life? 

"Roll Tide Willie" was on campus this past weekend and throughout the week taking tours of the athletic facility and taking photos with prominent Alabama athletes. One of the biggest recruits remaining in the Class of 2024 has apparently taken to "Roll Tide Willie" as well and was in town this past weekend. 

What's the lates on 5-star phenom Ryan Williams? Williams had a sentimental photoshoot with his family in Tuscaloosa over the weekend and filmed a couple social media videos with "Roll Tide Willie". We cover the latest in the saga that is the Williams recruitment and how important he is to secure for the new staff.

The program moves on to silly social media beef between former Alabama football players. Does Greg McElroy hate Alabama? How did he respond to some who have insinuated he does?

We finish up the Wednesday edition of the program by talking about the Iron Bowl of Basketball. Alabama, after getting blown out by Tennessee on Saturday, is a 3.5 point favorite on Wednesday. What does Las Vegas see that we do not? How important is Wednesday from not only a rivalry prospective, but from a conference standings perspective?
