The final curtain falls on the last stop of the "Are You Ready?" Tour ... unfortunately, it was three songs too early because it was the fire curtain at the historic Lyric Theatre. We break down the last memorable show and the curtain call that almost ended the show prematurely. Alabama falls to Tennessee, and we hear from the devastated Alabama super fan Dickie Nadmire. Auburn miraculously beats No. 1 Georgia with a last-second field goal. Tragedy strikes at a UTSA game as an Air Force service member is killed in a fall during a fast-rope demonstration. A Roman Catholic priest in Ecuador died after a heavy wooden crucifix detached from a wall and struck him on the head. Vice President JD Vance says there's a chance he won’t run for president in 2028.
