Random Thoughts Week 3: Spotlight on the SEC
While the Big Ten was still playing cupcakes, the SEC dominated the airwaves and the hearts of college football fans across the country (world?). Ole Miss 32 LSU 24 – Lane Kiffin returns to Oxford and gets whupped by his old team. Do you think he might have a little twinge of regret? The Bayou […]
Jumbo Package: Ryan Grubb Apologizes to Alabama fans
Let’s start the JP today with the press conference from Ryan Grubb: The big thing that came out of Grubb’s press conference yesterday was him making an unsolicited comment about Alabama fans “giving up” on the team because of their booing. “I had some boo-birds,” Grubb told reporters in Tuscaloosa on Monday during his weekly […]
Jumbo Package: Alabama defense looks to regroup vs South Carolina
Happy Monday, everyone. Alabama fans weren’t necessarily thrilled with the team’s performance on Saturday, but they did get a win. Keelon Russell spoke about what was said during the weather delay. After the break, UA got hot offensively. The Tide won 50-36, moving to 3-0 to begin the 2026 season. After the game, quarterback Keelon […]
13 “whiplash, part 2” charts from the Florida State game
Another weird game This time, the spookiness was seen on both sides of the ball. Let’s get right into it. If you’re an underdog that’s trying to win a game that you’re not supposed to, here’s how to do it: SR and XR by down Alabama vs. Florida State • Sep 19, 2026 See all […]
Initial Impressions from the Florida State game
Alabama fans rightfully had a heaping helping of deja vu and the resulting heartburn early in yesterday’s contest, as Florida State rolled into Bryant Denny like they owned the place. Starting slow is quickly becoming part of this team’s identity, and that trait is highly concerning. Give Alabama credit for resilience as they never quit […]
Victory/Evening Shift Open Thread
First off, we owe Florida State an apology. This team is not ready to quit on the season as I suggested, and they gave Alabama all they wanted before coming up short 50-36. Kalen DeBoer talked all week about challenging his team to start fast. Unfortunately, whatever tactics he used in practice to make that […]
Alabama vs Florida State Second Half Open thread
Well that was weird and gross. Alabama’s offense was all but useless to open the game, and the Tide defense kept somehow losing on 50/50 YOLO balls deep down the field as they fell to a brutal 21-6 deficit. The Tide finally figured something out, though, and put together a 12 play drive that ended […]
2026 Alabama Crimson Tide vs Florida State Seminoles Game Thread
GAME 3: Saturday, September 19, 2026 Alabama Crimson Tide (2-0) vs Florida State Seminoles (1-1) Tuscaloosa, AL ~ 2:30/3:30 ABC *** Please NO embedded Tweets, jpgs, gifs, etc. in Comments. We ask these things because it slows down load times. *** ROLL TIDE!
Wake Up! Week 3 Viewing Guide and Morning Open Thread
Things are picking up around college football as we start getting away from cupcake openers to some real games. Kicking things off early, we have a handful that could be interesting. #2 Georgia vs Arkansas – 11 a.m. – ABC UGA looks unstoppable and Arkansas still looks like the worst in the SEC. But is […]
Alabama vs Florida State 2026: Q&A with Tomahawk Nation
Tim Scribble from Tomahawk Nation has joined us for another year to talk about Florida State and Mike Norvell, and despite being a fan of those gaudy colors, he’s given us some excellent answers in the past. Let’s just say that he, and the rest of the Seminole faithful, are not very happy with the […]
Alabama Football 2026: Previewing the Florida State Defense
Let’s be up front and honest: the Florida State Seminole defense has been pretty bad to start this season. They gave up 17 points and nearly 300 passing yards to New Mexico State in the season opener, then followed that up by giving up 430 passing yards to SMU last week in a loss. They […]
Jumbo Package: Alabama football vs Florida State previews and predictions
Happy Friday, everyone. As you well know, Alabama hosts Florida State tomorrow. Your previews, starting with our own Brent Taylor in his friendly Q&A with Tomahawk Nation: I never thought Alabama would lose like they did a year ago, but I’ll admit the Gus Malzahn factor had me nervous for months leading up to that […]
Jumbo Package: Alabama fans get good news on Michael Carroll
Happy Thursday, everyone. According to Alex Scarbrough, we should be seeing big Michael Carroll back at right guard on Saturday. Alabama right guard Michael Carroll, a freshman All-America pick last season, is expected to be available for Saturday’s game vs. Florida State, sources told ESPN on Wednesday. Carroll, who missed last weekend’s win at Kentucky […]
Alabama Football 2026: Previewing the Florida State Offense
The Florida State Seminoles had one of the worst offenses in the whole country in 2024, scoring 15.4 points per game across an entire season with D.J. Uiagalelei at QB. They followed that up by hiring Gus Malzahn to be offensive coordinator in his swan song, and brought in QB Tommy Castellanos, famously taking Alabama’s […]
Jumbo Package: Alabama defense focused on slowing FSU QB Ashton Daniels
Happy Gump Day, everyone. Alabama is coming off of a resounding second half performance in Lexington, and now prepares for a visit from Florida State. TE Kaleb Edwards believes that this squad has the right makeup. On Tuesday, Crimson Tide tight end Kaleb Edwards said it was an encouraging sign that Alabama was able to […]
Random Thoughts Week 2: Second Half Implosions
There were two big SEC vs Big Ten match-ups last Saturday. One was an all-time classic. The other was a double dumpster fire. Texas 24 Ohio State 23 – The Buckys blew a 20-point 4th quarter lead on the biggest of college football stages. anOSU had a 3-and-out, a missed field goal, and a game-ending […]
Jumbo Package: Daniel Hill’s improvement and work ethic could define Alabama’s offense
First up, we have our weekly press conferences from the coordinators. Rico, one of the things that probably not on the stat sheet, I was excited to see how he blocked. And it’s probably off the screen a little bit a few times, but there’s a couple of touchdown runs where he’s finishing a guy […]
Jumbo Package: 10th-ranked Alabama moves on to FSU
Happy Monday, everyone. Alabama is back in the top ten after taking care of Kentucky. Like in the coaches poll, there were some major moves in this week’s Associated Press college football poll. Texas is the new No. 1 in the media poll released Sunday afternoon. The Longhorns took down the preseason top-ranked Buckeyes of […]
12 “whiplash” graphs from the Kentucky game
My wife is from the midwest, so doesn’t follow College ball as closely; she was out of the house during most of the Bama-Kentucky game, but checked in early with (deserving) concern about the Tide’s apparently-teetering 2026 season, and … ahem … any feelings I might have about this development. But she was surprised at […]
Initial Impressions from the Kentucky game
Kentucky coach Will Stein talked a big game leading up to yesterday’s home tilt against Alabama, and give the Wildcats credit for bringing the fight. They harassed freshman QB Keelon Russell into a pick six on Alabama’s opening possession and led the game throughout the first half. But, give Alabama credit as well for showing […]
Victory/Evening Shift Open Thread
It was a tale of two halves today, as Alabama struggled early then dominated late for a 45-17 road victory to open SEC play. The first half of this one was a comedy of errors. Keelon Russell looked very much like a superstar talent making his first road start. He completed 72% of his passes […]
Alabama Football vs Kentucky: Second Half Open Thread
Well that was atrocious and my eyeballs hurt just from having to witness that half of a football game. Alabama’s offense opened the game with Keelon Russell taking a bad intentional grounding penalty, Daniel Hill getting dropped for a loss, then Russell getting picked off by a defensive lineman for a quick pick 6. The […]

Wake Up! Week 2 Viewing Guide and Morning Open Thread
Week 2 of the college football season brings you some interesting early matchups, as the TV overlords enjoy getting additional eyeballs in those breakfast hours. Two of these matchups involve SEC teams: Arizona State at Texas A&M – 11am, ABC This game is somewhat similar to Alabama at Kentucky this week, in that nobody really […]
2026 Alabama Football: Kentucky Defense Preview and Game Prediction
As talked about in yesterday’s piece on the Wildcat offense, Kentucky is breaking in a whole new coaching staff and a roster generally built from the transfer portal, so there’s a whole lot of “we’ll see” when it comes to what kind of product they actually put on the football field. In week 1 against […]
