Jumbo Package: All eyes on “Isaias” as Alabama, Georgia prepare for marquee matchup
Happy Gump Day, everyone. I wish I could be Gumpy about the weather forecast, but it ain’t looking good. “The idea of moving the game, it’s on the table,” Spann told AL.com. “I’m saying it’s clearly on the table. It would be a nightmare for everybody involved. But if we do get a Category 1, […]
Random Thoughts Week 5: Reality Check
The elite teams rained all over the parades of the wannabes this past week. After five weeks of college football, the picture is becoming a little more clear as to who the contenders are and who the pretenders are. Alabama 56 Mississippi State 23 – It was a quarterback duel that was over before it […]
Jumbo Package: Alabama coaches brace for daunting challenge vs Georgia
Happy Tuesday, everyone. Get yourself a cup of coffee and settle in, because everyone is writing about Alabama vs. Georgia. We’ll start out with some comments from the Monday press conference. “There’s, I think, probably more familiarity, and that’s us with them, and them with us, too,” DeBoer said Monday. “And so you see, yeah, […]
Jumbo Package: ESPN GameDay, Donald Trump, potential heavy rain headed to Tuscaloosa this weekend
Happy Monday, everyone. Alabama took care of one set of Bulldogs on Saturday, but now must face a much bigger and badder set of Dawgs this weekend. Alabama moved up just one spot off a historic SEC win to just outside the top five ahead of a huge game against Georgia at home next weekend. […]
14 “powerful” charts from the Mississippi State game
Hey, if Alabama is gonna make charting these games easy for me, I’m all here for it! Every season has its share of data storytelling — games that weren’t all they appeared to be; some coulda-woulda-shoulda’s — but since 2020 there have been a higher share of those (including in the late Saban years), as […]
Initial Impressions from the Mississippi State game
Alabama was favored by only a field goal for yesterday’s game at Mississippi State, but that looks patently absurd in hindsight. The talent discrepancy on these rosters was easy to spot. College football media, the betting public and even this particular fanbase are still scarred from the first two seasons of the Kalen DeBoer era, […]
Victory/Evening Shift Open Thread
Alabama rolled into Starkville as a narrow favorite, but jumped all over Mississippi State before coasting to a 56-23 victory. Nobody could accuse the Tide of starting slow in this one. They were gifted a fumble on Mississippi State’s first possession as Kamario Taylor dropped the football while trying to pull it down. The offense […]
Alabama vs Mississippi State: First Half Impressions
Alright, so we’re trying something new this week, and the open thread from the first half is supposed to be able to handle the comment traffic to be the commenting open thread for the whole game. So feel free to keep commenting there. Still, here’s my quick impressions from the first half. The Alabama offense […]
2026 Alabama Crimson Tide vs Mississippi State Game Thread
[ED.NOTE: There will be no second half thread due to the SBN Mothership trying some sort of something to gauge reader engagement. However, Brent will post his halftime thoughts on the world-famous FEED.] GAME 5: Saturday, October 3, 2026 Alabama Crimson Tide (4-0, 2-0) vs Mississippi State Bulldogs (4-0, 2-0) Starkville, MS ~ 11am/noon ABC […]
Alabama vs Mississippi State Preview: Q&A with Andrew Miller
It’s been a few years since we had a game with Mississippi State, so we’ve now got a new friend of the blog, Andrew Miller, from the Voice of College Football podcast network. Andrew gave some excellent answers this week, so go give him a follow on twitter @alestate2020. 1. A year ago, Mississippi State […]
Jumbo Package: Alabama at Mississippi State previews and predictions
Happy Friday, everyone. Alabama will face off against Mississippi State tomorrow. Your previews: Mississippi State will get off to a hot start. The crowd will be off-the-charts insane, Taylor and the Bulldog attack will go on two crisp scoring drives, and social media will be discussing how much it would take to buy out Alabama […]
Alabama Football 2026: Previewing the Mississippi State Defense
While the MSU offense has been one of the biggest revelations in college football through the first 1/3 of the 2026 season, their defense has left a bit to be desired, and has, thus far, what is keeping them from looking like a true contender. They’ve given up 34 points to South Carolina and 24 […]
Jumbo Package: Kalen DeBoer talks injuries, slowing Kamario Taylor
Happy Thursday, everyone. The injury report came out, and starting RT Jayvin James is on it. Right tackle Jayvin James is questionable after leaving Alabama‘s home win against South Carolina. James was viewed as “very much questionable” after leaving with a lower-extremity injury late against South Carolina. Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer said James is “working […]
Alabama Football 2026: Previewing the Mississippi State Offense
Man, it’s been a while, huh? The Bulldogs are now rolling into year 3 with Jeff Lebby as their head coach, and this is just now the first time I’m previewing him as a head coach. The last time we saw him, he was still an OC for Lane Kiffin at Ole Miss in 2020-2021. […]
Jumbo Package: How might heavy rain affect the Keelon vs Kamario show?
Happy Gump Day, everyone. College football fans will wake up and start their day with a battle of two quarterbacks who are trending to be the top two picks in the 2028 NFL Draft. Keelon Russell has blown us all away with his performance. Over four games, Russell has posted exemplary EPA/play (0.51) and EPA/pass […]
Random Thoughts Week 4: Quarterback Play, Not A-OK
Week 4 of the 2026 season had six ranked-on-ranked matchups – mostly because the SEC and to a lesser degree the Big Ten were fully immersed in conference play. One reporter mentioned that it was the most such competition in a college football Saturday since 2023. We’ll have to take his word for it. Meanwhile, […]
Jumbo Package: Alabama Football remains ranked 8th by ESPN
Press conferences are always much more fun the week after a solid win. Grubb, Wommack, and DeBoer were all in fairly talkative moods this time, and here are their videos: In his first play since joining the Crimson Tide, Alabama got the ball to transfer wide receiver Noah Rogers for a 36-yard gain inside the […]
Jumbo Package: Keelon vs Kamario grabs week 5 headlines
Happy Monday, everyone. So far, so good as far as the 2026 football season goes. Alabama took care of business on Saturday night, to move up to 7th in both the AP and Coaches’ polls. Creg Stephenson moved them up to third in his SEC Power Rankings. After back-to-back poor starts vs. Kentucky and Florida […]
11 “over the top” charts from the South Carolina game
Wow! That was a fun one. I had one of those rare weekends — wedding anniversary weekend getaway — where I was not committed to watching the Alabama game. We had things to do, sights to see, burgers to eat. Heck, I was doing my best not to even check the score. Let the universe […]
Initial Impressions from the South Carolina game
While Alabama technically didn’t start fast last night, it’s hard to be critical of a first half that had South Carolina completely buried before the break. They still haven’t played four full quarters, but there was definite progress last night. A few impressions: Keelon Russell is the real deal The hype train is going to […]
Victory/Late Shift Open Thread
South Carolina came into Tuscaloosa as a double digit underdog, and this time the Tide took care of business to blow out their unranked foe. The first two series of the game actually didn’t go all that well. South Carolina star tailback Matt Fuller got loose on the first play of the game for a […]
Alabama Football 2026 vs South Carolina: Second Half Open Thread
What a half! Alabama heard all of the criticism about a lack of “fast starts” this week and did their best to correct at. It didn’t look great at first, with the Tide defense giving up a 50+ yard run on the first play of the game, then the offense going 3 and out on […]

Wake Up! Week 4 Viewing Guide and Morning Open Thread
Football is back on today, so make your coffee and kick on the TV! Indiana nearly blew it last night as an appetizer, and now we have a whole day of ball ahead of us. Alabama kicks off against South Carolina later this evening in the 6:00 time slot, so you have plenty of time […]

Happy Friday, everyone. Next up for Alabama is a visit from South Carolina tomorrow night. Your previews: South Carolina plays Alabama close no matter what trajectory the Gamecocks are on.
