The Champagne of 'Bama Blogs
As usual, we got our round up of interviews from the Alabama coaching staff at the start of the game week. Ryan Grubb “There’s a lot of factors that go into it. I did it a few times at Fresno. Some of it has to do with comfort level with two parts. Number one, the […]
Alabama rolled into Las Vegas tonight ready to face an excellent Gonzaga squad, and things didn’t go so well as the Zags pulled away late for a 95-85 victory. We got some tough injury news before the game, as Latrell Wrightsell Jr. was ruled out for the Players’ Era tournament with a right leg ailment. […]
Guess who’s back? Back again. BB4’s back, tell a friend. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in! Or whichever reference you prefer. Bottom line is this – the Bama Basketball Breakdown is back! At least for the remainder of this season. I’m sure everyone is aware of Erik’s departure from […]
Happy Monday, everyone. OK, yeah there is a football game on Saturday, but Alabama basketball plays Gonzaga tonight in Vegas. We’ll be along with more coverage later, but these guys will be watching. Planting themselves in the mix of the chaos of crimson are 11 men, all but one aged 50 or older. You can […]
With only one week left in the regular season, we all know where the teams stand. Texas A&M is undefeated and in sole possession of first place, while Alabama, Georgia, and Ole Miss are all tied up with one conference loss each. Georgia plays out-of-conference Georgia Tech this week, so that game doesn’t matter in […]
It is so poetic that Alabama’s College Football hopes comes down to the Iron Bowl. The CFP rankings severely and unjustifiably punished the Crimson Tide for a two point defeat against the team that they deemed to be the nation’s eighth best team. A win over Auburn gets Bama into the SEC Championship Game and […]
Yeah, I do have some nuanced feelings on these “cupcake” games. It would be great to live in a world when polls and the College Football Playoff Committee actually did respect strength of schedule, then reward big wins in a way to actually encourage more meaningful inter-P4-conference games (and just more interesting football in general). […]
Alabama had a paycheck game today in Tuscaloosa against a pitiful Eastern Illinois squad, and the game was about as competitive as one would expect. We got some bad news before the game that standout TE Josh Cuevas suffered a foot injury in practice and will likely miss the rest of the regular season. Kalen […]
It wasn’t the prettiest of first halves for the Tide, but they made it to halftime with a 28-0 lead. The Alabama defense was nearly perfect, absolutely stymieing the overmatched Panthers for -1 total rushing yards and 13 passing yards, plus the special teams got a punt block. The Alabama offense was given a couple […]
GAME 11: Saturday, November 22, 2025 – SENIOR DAY Alabama Crimson Tide (8-2) at Eastern Illinois Panthers (3-8) Tuscaloosa, AL ~ 1pm/2pm ESPN+ *** Please NO embedded Tweets, jpgs, gifs, etc. We ask these things because it slows down load times. *** ROLL TIDE!
For whatever reason, much of the SEC has always loved using this penultimate week of the season for a final warm-up game. Alabama is playing Eastern Illinois, Auburn is playing Mercer, and Georgia is playing Furman. The Tide kicks off at 1:00 CT, and there’s at least a couple of games, like Mizzou-Okie to keep […]
It has become crystal clear that College Football Playoff (CFP) Committee is full of bias, ulterior motives, and buffoons with baffling standards of evaluation. Alabama must win their next two games but sadly, they will need help from others to help their standings. Thus, we have the Alabama Crimson Tide Football Rooting Guide. We will […]
Happy Friday, everyone. There isn’t much point in previewing the mismatch that will take place tomorrow afternoon. There are many good reasons for these games to be played, but they’re still somewhat cringey to watch. In any case, your time and TV info is linked here: Alabama football’s last game at Bryant-Denny Stadium in the 2025 […]
Don’t tell Nick Saban this, but I am personally overlooking this game a bit for the preview this week. The Eastern Illinois Panthers are 3-8 overall in the year as an FCS squad in the OVC-Big South conference. The Panthers, for what its worth, has put a couple of QBs into the NFL with Tony […]
Happy Thursday, everyone. Alabama basketball notched a huge win last night over Illinois. Nate Oats was pleased with the effort, and Keitenn Bristow was a big part of it. “Keitenn’s made a huge difference. I mean, he played less than 20 minutes. He’s still not in great shape. You can see, he had to ask […]
The 11th ranked Alabama Crimson Tide traveled to Chicago to play 8th ranked Illinois on Wednesday night. The Tide rose to the occasion and took down the Fighting Illini 90-86 in a hard fought game. Alabama has now taken down 5th ranked St Johns in Madison Square Garden and the 8th ranked team in the […]
Alabama rolled into Chicago tonight to face Illinois and walked out victorious, winning by a score of 90-86. This was an entertaining game from the opening tip. Illinois flexed its muscle in the paint early and got a hot start from Andrej Stojakovic to jump out to a seven point lead at 19-12, but Alabama […]
In yet another game of contrasting styles, Alabama travels to Chicago tonight to face the Illinois Fighting Illini. Like last week’s outing against Purdue, Alabama will want to turn the game into a track meet while Illinois is contend to slow it down. The Illini rank 178th in pace of play this season. Three Keys […]

Happy Gump Day, everyone. Since it’s Gump Day, we’re first going to talk about how Alabama is about to finish the season by blowing the doors off of Auburn and Georgia and earn a bye on the way to the national championship. And they’d better after last night’s committee rankings, just to be safe. I […]
The newest College Football Playoff rankings have been released, and yet again, we get a hodge podge of ever-changing criteria for the committee to rank the teams as they see fit. Ohio State, Indiana and Texas A&M remained the top three teams in the latest College Football Playoff rankings released Tuesday, while Alabama dropped six […]
In week 1 of the 2025 season, the Alabama Crimson Tide was run over by a Gus Malzahn offense, giving up 31 points in a loss that had Alabama fans ready to fire everyone on the coaching staff. Defensive Coordinator Wommack caught plenty of flak, as the issues seemed to be carryover issues from losses […]
For Alabama fans, it was a pretty lousy Saturday. The only real chaos occurred in Bryant Denny Stadium. Oklahoma 23 Alabama 21 – This is going to sound like Gump sour grapes, but the better team did not win this game. It was the Crimson Tide mistakes that set the Sooners up for scores. Bama […]
With the Oklahoma loss behind us, we got the thoughts of the Alabama coaching staff after they had a couple of days to ruminate. Ryan Grubb On the offensive line: “You know what? I thought they played well, honestly, I thought the last two weeks, they’ve been building. It’s been a little bit of a […]
Happy Monday, everyone. There won’t be much going on this week, with Eastern Illinois coming to town for the SEC’s traditional cupcake week before rivalries are played over Thanksgiving weekend. The Panthers are 3-8 at the FCS level this season. As you all know, Alabama lost to Oklahoma on Saturday in a frustrating game that […]
