On November 25, 2023, Eli Gold delivered his final call as the voice of Alabama. It was one of many instantly iconic Eli Gold calls: a hail mary touchdown pass from Jalen Milore to Isaiah Bond to win the Iron Bowl in Auburn. Eli wouldn’t learn for several more weeks that it would be his last call after 36 years in the booth for the Crimson Tide.
Today, on the first episode of Beat Everyone’s Golden Age miniseries, Eli Gold takes us into the booth as he made that call and shares his perspective on everything that happened afterward. Why did he and Alabama part ways? What’s next for Eli? What is his message to fans?
Eli also shares the story behind his first game for Alabama and his early relationship with Paul Finebaum.
Plus, you’ll have an opportunity to leave a voicemail question for Eli Gold. Join us on the latest episode of Beat Everyone.
