Happy Friday, everyone. December 19 has finally arrived, which means it’s time for Alabama to face off against an Oklahoma team in the College Football Playoff, that wouldn’t be in the playoff if Alabama hadn’t managed to blow a game against them in Tuscaloosa. The game will kick off at 7pm CT on ABC, and […]
First up, the biggest news yesterday was Kalen DeBoer’s remark after Wednesday’s practice: For one, Cuevas has been Ty Simpson’s most clutch receiving option for much of the season, and his absence the last three games was clearly felt. Two, don’t discount Danny Lewis. The veteran tight end has barely played this season. Want to […]
While the action kicks off Friday with Alabama and Oklahoma in an all-SEC brawl to see who faces No. 1 Indiana, the real intrigue for BBN starts Saturday. That’s when your new head coach, Will Stein (Oregon), and defensive coordinator, Jay Bateman (Texas A&M), begin their title chases before coming to Lexington. Do you ride […]
Let’s just start with this: After a year of trusting another defensive coordinator, head coach Brent Venables is back to acting as the DC this year. And, well, they’re giving up all of 14 points per game – one of the best in the entire country. The’ve absolutely stymied most of their schedule, but Michigan, […]
Alabama and Oklahoma have only played a couple of games since last playing each other, with the Sooners having bested the Tide by 2 points in a low-scoring slugfest on November 15th. Now, they’re matched up yet again in the first round of the College Football Playoffs, with the winner getting the privilege of taking […]
Happy Monday, everyone. It’s playoff week, as Alabama gets set to face off against Oklahoma on Friday night. A head coach opening at Michigan has led to rumors about Kalen DeBoer leaving Tuscaloosa, but he put those to bed with a statement yesterday. Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer ended all speculation Sunday afternoon alluding to potential interest in […]
Based on his pedigree coming in to college, it was presumed by many that Brayden Burries would step on the court and just dominate. Kind of like how Koa Peat did in his first collegiate game and most since. Not everything happens instantaneously. And some things, like Burries’ breakthrough performance on Saturday night, are worth […]
Happy Thursday, everyone. As Brent covered last night, Michigan fired head coach Sherrone Moore after a bizarre and dark episode that could very easily have turned tragic. Kalen DeBoer was immediately named as a top target, despite his assurances to Alabama fans earlier this season that Tuscaloosa is a place that college football coaches just […]
Alabama offensive tackle Michael Carroll and cornerback Dijon Lee Jr. were both named to the 2025 On3 True Freshman All-American Team, the outlet announced Monday. The All-America honors stand as the first in the careers of the rookie players and represent the first such honors received by the Crimson Tide following the conclusion of the […]
Obviously the big news of the day is that the College Football Playoff bracket was announced yesterday. Not everyone in college football got in. Some took that better than others. To be clear, of the trio of Miami, Notre Dame and Alabama I thought Notre Dame had perhaps the best case to get in. They […]
Happy Monday, everyone. As you well know by now, Alabama made the College Football Playoff as the 9th seed despite getting taken to the woodshed by Georgia on Saturday. Kalen DeBoer continues to talk about injuries, and believes that the team will look more like the one we saw in Athens than the one we […]
Something that seemed unbelievable to start the season has happend. A 10-2 Vanderbilt is not in the College Football Playoff because maybe the 3rd best team in the ACC, whose champion is 8-5 Duke, and Alabama, who just got Dawg-walked by Georgia by 28-7 in the SEC championship had to be in or ESPN would […]
Good day and Roll Tide. Alabama managed to get to the SEC Championship Game in Kalen DeBoer’s second year; that has to have some value, but they did very little with it, putting on an embarrassing display in a 28-7 loss to the Georgia Bulldogs. You’ll have to excuse my being relatively terse today: It […]
After yesterday’s debacle, it was largely assumed that Alabama would drop at least one spot in the College Football Playoff rankings, needing to sweat out the committee’s decision. As it turns out, the SEC Championship Game made no difference to either participant. Georgia is still the 3-seed in the upcoming tournament and will enjoy a […]
The college football playoff committee is the most corrupt body in all of sports (and with FIFA that’s saying something). As the playoff rankings were unveiled we saw no movement in the top 8, and then it got ridiculous. Notre Dame is OUT of the college football playoff. Alabama, who was just blown out by […]
There is no way to sugarcoat what we witnessed yesterday. Georgia looked like a team that’s ready to compete for a national title, and Alabama looked like the team that lost to Oklahoma and barely survived Auburn. Ty Simpson put together a second consecutive abominable showing, managing barely more than 5 yards per completion with […]
For every argument you can make for Miami, Notre Dame, Alabama, and even BYU there is a previous result that should scare all 4 at large candidates and puts anything and everything on the table. What if a team won its conference championship game by double digits over a top 15 tm and was in … Continue reading »
Someone failed to remind Alabama that getting off the bus in Atlanta was necessary to have any chance of winning a SEC Championship, and Georgia laid the wood to them by a score of 28-7. This one started out terribly and didn’t get any better for the entire first half, as Georgia utterly dominated the […]

The College Football regular season is officially over, and now it’s onto Championship Week as we lead into the postseason. Big 12, SEC, Big Ten, and ACC titles are up for grabs highlighted by a Georgia vs Alabama rematch and No. 1 Ohio State vs No. 2 Indiana. Let’s pick ‘em! Odds provided by our […]
Today presents what could be an entertaining day of college football, with five conference championship games on the schedule. As it relates to the Cleveland Browns and their future plans at quarterback, there are two games that stand out above the others. First up at 4 p.m. is Georgia vs. Alabama in the SEC Championship […]
Look, we know the drill at this point. It’s Alabama vs. Georgia, and it’ll be the most watched game in college football. It always is. When these teams meet, there’s always fireworks. Whether it’s a tipped ball being caught as time expires, an overtime walk-off bomb, a backup QB getting redemption, a game-sealing pick-6, or […]
Good Friday afternoon, Dawg fans!! We’ve made it to conference championship weekend, and once again it’s the Dawgs versus the Tide in Atlanta for the SEC crown. Georgia heads into this one at No. 3 in the latest CFP rankings following a gritty 16–9 win over the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Alabama sits at No. […]
ICYMI: Alabama signed an additional recruit on Thursday. From Andrew Bone (paywall): “Traeshawn Brown (sic), a running back from Huntsville HS (Texas), was expected to sign with Boise State on Wednesday. That changed when Alabama offered on Tuesday. The staff always prepares contingency options if unexpected flips occur or if they choose to move on […]
It’s no question that when Illinois plays a team it should beat, the Illini lay down the hammer. But when it’s a difficult game…. well, we know how it usually ends. The stats back that up: But the Illini are 0-2 this season away from Champaign, which includes losses to No. 11 Alabama (United Center) […]
