Happy Thursday, everyone. The college football commissioners met yesterday to discuss the future of the playoff. Surely you didn’t expect any consensus, as the mighty dollar is all anyone is worried about. The Big Ten and SEC have final say over the format, and the impasse between the conferences after last season kept the CFP […]
Happy Gump Day, everyone. The topic du jour seems to be the Alabama quarterback race. Nick Kelly wrote about Austin Mack for yesterday’s “50 players” installment. Mack was the first quarterback off the bench when Simpson had to leave the Rose Bowl with an injury. So, it wasn’t a surprise when Mack was usually the […]
This 2026 Alabama Softball season was the My Girl of softball seasons. Remember that movie?

Alabama was bad at running the ball in 2025. It’s been one of the main talking points for the last 8 months across both local and national sports conversations. The committee kept moving the Tide around in their rankings based on a lack of 100-yard rushing games. And then once the season ended in disappointment, […]
The Alabama Crimson Tide opened their bid for a College World Series Title with a resounding 9-0 loss to the Oklahoma Sooners.

Happy Gump Day, everyone. We are deep into the offseason doldrums now, but here is what we’ve got. Alabama is the 2nd most hated college football team according to Rotowire. Guess who is first? The Fighting Irish show up as the top hated team in 8 states — more than any program in the country. Alabama is second with […]

Happy Friday, everyone. We’ll open today with Colin Gay, who wonders if Alabama can overcome inexperience at the most critical position. Alabama will have a starting quarterback.
