Bama Basketball Breakdown: Clemson

After a restful Thanksgiving weekend following the desert jaunt in Las Vegas last week for the Players Era Festival, the 12th-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide return home for night two of the SEC-ACC Challenge tonight for a familiar battle with the Clemson Tigers. Why we have to play them again in this challenge when the ACC […]

2025 SEC Championship Preview: The Georgia Offense

We are all for not repeating effort in the parts, and with Alabama going for a rematch with Georgia only 2 months after their last win, there isn’t a whole lot that’s changed. Mike Bobo is still the offensive coordinator, and he’s still making Georgia fans mad more often than not despite generally trotting out […]

Alabama climbs one spot to #9 in latest CFP Rankings

Over the last 24 hours, there was a decent bit of chatter surrounding betting odds that Alabama’s odds of making the playoffs jumped significantly. Plus, BetMGM apparently locked betting on the Tide. Was there a leak in the playoff committee’s rankings? Quite possibly. In any case, the Tide has now moved up to #9, swapping […]

Random Thoughts Week 14: Rivalry Week and Black Sunday

It was rivalry week for most of the country – with a few exceptions playing cupcakes that they are trying to pass off as Power conference opponents. There was plenty of excitement, but the real fireworks came on Black Sunday. Alabama 27 Auburn 20 – It was another scary visit to Jerdin’s Hair for the […]

Jumbo Package: Auburn no longer holds any mystique

First up, Aaron Suttles dropped his paywell to publish this article, and I rather enjoyed this paragraph: The Bad Guys Are Here. And they’re still alive. Even after visiting what their hosts gleefully termed the “Haunted Mansion.” Even after former Alabama coach Nick Saban said, “That place is haunted.” Funny thing about narratives, though. They […]

15 “kinda gross” charts from the Iron Bowl ‘25

Even watching this game live, I knew the charts wouldn’t be kind to the Tide: too many 3-and-outs, too much late-down desperation, and too much leakage once their mobile QB started gettin’ scrambly on us. But the Crimson Tide won the thing anyway, 27-20, on the backs of timely 4th down conversions, Red Zone efficiency, […]

Nick Saban is wrong: It’s time to hate Lane Kiffin again

It’s officially time to hate Lane Kiffin again. Alabama fans have come to love Lane Kiffin over the past several years. After participating in the Nick Saban Coaching Rehabilitation Program as an analyst, Kiffin was hired as Alabama’s offensive coordinator headed into the 2014 season. He had quite the run of success, first coaxing a […]

Initial Impressions: 5 observations from the Iron Bowl

Style points don’t really matter anymore in this modern era and for that, Alabama should be thankful. It’s never easy for the Tide to win on the pasture, and things get particularly chippy when those critters have nothing to lose and an opportunity to ruin Alabama’s season. Auburn’s season is now over, so they can […]

Victory Thread: Alabama survives in Auburn

Alabama started strong and hung on late, knocking off Auburn 27-20 at Jordan-Hare stadium. Out of the gate, the game looked about like most expected it to. Both offenses had a rough time to get anything going. Alabama’s defense was particularly dominant in holding the Auburn offense to a mere 26 yards on its first […]

Alabama vs Auburn 2025 Iron Bowl: 2nd Half Discussion Thread

Well, Alabama survived a first half in Lee County, managing to make it to halftime with a 17-6 lead. The Tide settled for a field goal on the second drive after a facemask penalty got them into good field position, then put together two of their better offensive drives of the season to go up […]

Iron Bowl 2025 Preview: Q&A with Ryan Sterritt

With only one day left until our favorite end-of-year slugfest, the Iron Bowl, friend of the blog Ryan Sterritt returns for yet another year to give his mostly unfiltered opinions on all things Auburn Football. 1. You were one of the first and most vocal detractors of the Hugh Freeze hire, and I remember your […]

Jumbo Package: Iron Bowl previews and predictions, Friday Open Thread

Happy Friday, everyone. There is Rivalry Week football on all day for you today, and this post will serve as your open thread for those. The SEC action will be the most compelling, starting with the Egg Bowl which I guess is appropriately named given the breakfast kickoff this season. All three of those have […]

Alabama Football 2025 vs. Auburn: Previewing the Tigers’ Defense

For as much as Auburn’s offense has been a trainwreck for most of the year, their defense has generally been one of the better units in the SEC (they had an argument to be considered the best until Vanderbilt hung 45 on them a couple of weeks ago). Defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin (aka DJDKAK) has […]

Bama Basketball Breakdown: Maryland

Alright, I’m going to start off today’s post by venting for a minute. The Player’s Era Festival is kind of a joke. It’s great that the players are getting NIL funds to participate, but it is so poorly organized. If you stayed up last night to watch Alabama eviscerate UNLV, then you know that truTV […]
