Victory Thread: Tide rolls over Wildcats at Coleman
Alabama’s basketball team did its level best to make Tide fans forget about the football debacle by whipping Kentucky at Coleman Coliseum today by a score of 89-74. Alabama got off to a fast start out of the gate. Kentucky came out focused on slowing early SEC Player of the Year candidate Labaron Philon, but […]
UPDATED: Alabama Football: 2026 Transfer Portal Tracker
Alabama’s season is officially over, and the transfer portal window has now opened. The window will run for two weeks – from today until January 16th – and this extended January window eliminates the spring transfer window. For this year at least… Who knows what the rules will be next year. Alabama has generally seemed […]
Bama Basketball Breakdown: Kentucky
Well, it is officially basketball season in Tuscaloosa, AL! Time to flush that Rose Bowl loss down the drain and focus on Tide Hoops! Not everyone can be a football school like Indiana, some of us have more of an affinity for the roundball. We contend for Final Fours on the hardwood around here! What […]
Jumbo Package: Kalen DeBoer talks “fine line” after Indiana domination
Happy Friday, everyone. Or, as happy as it can be around here after watching Alabama get dominated in another postseason game, the possibility of which had to be in the back of every Alabama fan’s mind. I am not going to bother writing an Initial Impressions post for that game. Here’s the impression: Alabama didn’t […]
7 “thin silver lining” charts from the Rose Bowl debacle
Well, obviously that was horrible. Similar to the the last 2024 loss to Oklahoma, then the 2025 SECCG loss, I’m not going to try to talk you out of this one. (Notably, I’m not including the the Florida State loss, which was actually closer than it looked, nor the 2018 title loss to Clemson, where […]
Postgame Thread: Listless Alabama is dismantled by Hoosiers
I got nothing. There is no shame in losing this game. But everyone in the building should be ashamed of the effort we saw today. They were listless, error prone, and proved everyone right who said they didn’t belong. There isn’t one position group that you can point to and say that they did their […]
Rose Bowl: Second Half Open Thread
Alabama’s offense decided to show up to the Rose Bowl about as lifelessly as they possibly could, scoring all of 0 points. The one time they started to put together a drive and got past mid field, Ty Simpson fumbled at the end of a nice run. Just a pathetic showing from the entire group […]
CFP Round 2: Alabama Crimson Tide vs Indiana Hoosiers Game Thread
REMEMBER THE ROSE BOWL! – 100 YEARS College Football Playoff Quarterfinal: Thursday, January 1, 2026 Alabama Crimson Tide (11-3) vs Indiana Hoosiers (13-0) Pasadena, CA ~ 3pm/4pm ESPN *** Please NO embedded Tweets, jpgs, gifs, etc. We ask these things because it slows down load times. *** ROLL TIDE!
Wake Up! Orange Bowl New Year’s Day Open Thread
The first of the quarterfinal games finished up with Miami landing a resounding win over the heavily favored Ohio State last night. Who could have ever seen that one coming?? (Hint… that’s me!) But the real festivities begin today, with Oregon and Texas Tech squaring off in the Orange Bowl at 11:00 CT. Or, if […]
Why fourth-down conversions could be the key factor for Alabama at the Rose Bowl
It’s been an interesting road for the Alabama Crimson Tide, who started the season with a surprise loss to the Florida State Seminoles before rattling off eight straight wins. That included consecutive victories over Georgia, Vanderbilt, Missouri, and Tennessee, who were all top-16 teams at the time. But after that, the team saw some bumps […]
Rose Bowl Preview: The Indiana Hoosier Offense
With an astounding 41.9 points per game, the Indiana Hoosiers have the 4th ranked scoring offense in the country in their second year under offensive coordinator Mike Shanahan. You could be forgiven for a double-take there, as the legendary NFL Coach has not, in fact come out of retirement. In fact, Indiana’s Shanahan is not […]
Jumbo Package: Alabama enters Rose Bowl with a clean bill of health
Leading off, we got a press conference from Kane Wommack, who went nearly 18 minutes. The man didn’t get to talk as much last week, so he sure made up for it this time. Most importantly, Kane finally divulged what he keeps in his gameday shoulder bag: “There is no fanny pack. It’s got all […]
Random Thoughts: Bowling For Dollars
Bowl season wackiness is upon us. The Big Ten is bragging about beating up on blah non-Power teams while the SEC had some struggle with utilizing back-up quarterbacks and thin defenses. ESS-EE-SEE GATOR BOWL: Virginia 13 Missouri 7 – With Beau Pribula being a baby, Mizz was stuck with underdeveloped freshman QB Matt Zollers at […]
Alabama Dominates Yale 102-78
The 14th ranked Alabama Crimson Tide hosted the Yale Bulldogs in their last non conference game of the regular season on Monday night. The Tide started fast and ran past the Bulldogs 102-78 to improve to 10-3 on the season. Yale fell to 11-2 with the loss. Bama will start SEC play at home against […]

Bama Basketball Breakdown: Yale
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, everyone! Alabama returns to the hardwood tonight to take on the Yale Bulldogs in a final tune-up before SEC play begins in earnest this weekend. Well, tune-up might be doing a bit of a disservice to the Ivy League juggernaut, but it’s the last opportunity for Nate Oats to […]
Jumbo Package: Can upstart Alabama hang physically with Indiana juggernaut?
Happy Monday, everyone. Alabama fans should be terrified this week, with only three days left before watching the poor Crimson Tide face off against unbeaten, Big Ten champion, top ranked and unbeatable Indiana. The game is likely to be played in wet conditions. It’s not looking like too heavy of a storm, but some time […]
Rose Bowl Preview: Q&A with Hoosier Huddle
Alabama and Indiana are set to square off in the Rose Bowl for the second round of the College Football Playoffs. It’s a program that Alabama hasn’t crossed paths with before, so you could be forgiven for not knowing too much about the Hoosiers, outside of their sudden success the last two seasons under Coach […]

Jumbo Package: Can Ryan Williams make an impact in the Rose Bowl?
Happy Friday, everyone. Hopefully everyone had a great Christmas with loved ones. Not much going on as you’d expect, but we’ll bring you what we have. Matt Stahl notes that a Ryan Williams breakout would be awesome in Pasadena. Coaches haven’t said a bad thing about Williams, with DeBoer explaining his lack of targets after […]
Jumbo Package: Merry Christmas edition
Happy Thursday and Merry Christmas, everyone. We’ll open up today with a little Christmas cheer from Parker Brailsford. University of Alabama offensive lineman Parker Brailsford’s childhood experiences inspire him to help Tuscaloosa’s underserved youth. Brailsford is an Arizona native, who has made a name for himself in the world of college football. But when he […]
Jumbo Package: Alabama and Indiana share all kinds of ties
Merry almost Christmas, everyone. With Alabama off until New Years, there’s not too much going on today. But feel free to hang out and talk. Can Zabien Brown get one more touchdown before he goes pro next year? My money is on yes. I think there’s also a very good chance he’s the top cornerback […]
2025 CFP: Alabama Crimson Tide vs Indiana Hoosiers Opening Odds: Cover or Not?
Alabama has cleared their first College Football Playoff hurdle for 2025. Next is a much bigger obstacle in the top seeded Hoosiers. The oddsmakers do not have a lot of faith in the Crimson Tide. FanDuel has opening odds of Alabama being a 6.5 point underdog with an Over/Under of 48.5. The game takes place […]
Jumbo Package: Alabama can’t afford slow start vs No. 1 Indiana
Happy Monday, everyone. Alabama basketball won its game with Kennesaw State yesterday, though the second half wasn’t pretty.

Prep your calendars and your travel […]
CFP Random Thoughts Bowled Over: Routs and Special Teams Gaffes Ruled the Day
[With Christmas rapidly approaching and travel plans for some, we bring you Random Thoughts a day early. Ho! Ho! Ho!] Alabama made a statement. Oregon got a little lazy. And Miami-FL and Texas A&M gave us a classic. A classic bore. Meanwhile, it was not good week for the AAC teams with Tulane, Memphis and […]
