WAKE UP! Week 9 College Football television schedule, viewing guide, and unwatchable filth
Good morning! The No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide, fresh off of six straight wins, and four straight victories over ranked opponents, heads to Columbia, South Carolina this afternoon to face perhaps the toughest opponent of this midseason stretch: letdown. Kalen DeBoer has mastered making the home crowd happy (10-0 in BDS), and winning the big […]
Alabama Football 2025 vs South Carolina Preview: Q&A with Garnet and Cocky
It really feels like Alabama plays South Carolina less often than all of the rest of the SEC teams. And for whatever reason, every time they do play, it winds up being a memorable one. The 2004 disaster with Spencer Pennington and Marc Guillon combing for 55 total yards was the first Alabama game I […]
Jumbo Package: Alabama adds three to injury report for South Carolina game
Happy Friday, everyone. Alabama plays at South Carolina tomorrow. I don’t know what went down at practice yesterday, but three new names were added to the injury report. Alabama freshman wide receiver Lotzeir Brooks is now doubtful to play against the Gamecocks. Brooks is fourth on the team with 255 yards receiving. Geno VanDeMark, who leads the team […]
Alabama Football 2025 vs. South Carolina: Previewing the Gamecocks Defense
While the Gamecock offense has been a slowly descending Hindenburg of a unit, their defense has continued to put out respectable numbers and performances this season, even if they aren’t quite the top-ten unit they were a year ago. Clayton White returns for his 5th straight season as the defensive coordinator, so at this point, […]
Jumbo Package: Can Alabama avoid a letdown at South Carolina?

Alabama Football 2025 vs. South Carolina: Previewing the Gamecocks Offense
Look, South Carolina fans are organizing chants mid-game to fire offensive coordinator Mike Shula… So, uhh…. things are going swimmingly in Columbia. Last year, Dowell Loggains came into USC after being an NFL OC from 2012-2020 and brought a level of professionalism with a fairly standard pro-spread offense that saw a breakout season from QB […]
Happy Gump Day: “Prepare like you’ve never won, perform like you’ve never lost.”
Happy Gump Day, one and all. We are just 96 hours away from the kick of Alabama @ South Carolina, and I think I am beginning to experience the true wisdom of the 24-hour Rule: I still can’t shake Saturday’s thumping of the Vols in Bryant-Denny. Apparently, I’m not alone — Monday’s JP gauging fan […]
Giving Away Money: Week 9 picks against the spread to enhance your filthy lucre
Week 8: 1-02025: 28-13Mortal Lock: 6-2 Weekly Post-Mortem Just one game last week, but it was a doozy. So, let’s see how well we nailed down Third Saturday. We’re going live a little early this week, because one of the games I want to feature is on tonight. Time for receipts from last week: Told […]
Random Thoughts Week 8: Chaos, Upsets, and Coach Firings
We had quite a shake up this past week in the chase for the College Football Playoff (CFP). Five teams have fallen from among the unbeaten. FIRST LOSS Louisville 24 Miami-FL 21 – UGA-Carson Beck finally reared his ugly head as the Hurricanes gunslinger misfired for four interceptions with a fifth that was negated by […]
Jumbo Package: Alabama lands 2027 in-state QB commit
First up, we have our coach press conferences kicking off South Carolina Week. Ryan Grubb Ryan Grubb’s Opening Statement “I’ll start with one thing. I just wanted to say. I never do this. I’m going to channel my inner Kane Wommack here quick. I just wanted to thank the fans. I’ve coached in the NFL, […]
The Complete 2025-2026 Alabama Basketball season preview
The 2025-2026 Alabama Crimson Tide basketball season is almost upon us, and it’s fair to say that this is a transitional season, though not a team that finds itself completely rebuilding. Long-time stalwarts like Mark Sears and Grant Nelson have moved on, and the Portal claimed some quality players that are a better fit elsewhere […]
Jumbo Package: Has Kalen DeBoer won over the fanbase?
Happy, happy Monday, everyone. We got an extra “happy” in there this morning because Alabama won while all of the teams featured in the special lyrics to Dixieland Delight lost. What a weekend, eh? Alabama has now fully made up for the loss in the season opener, ranked four spots ahead of where they were […]
2025 Alabama Crimson Tide vs South Carolina Gamecocks Opening Odds: Cover or Not?
Having won six straight games and four straight against ranked teams, the Crimson Tide (6-1) is one of the hottest teams in the nation. For South Carolina (3-4), there were high hopes that they would be a College Football Playoff contender this season. However, they have lost four of their last five games with all […]
11 “smoky in here” graphs from Bama vs. Tennessee
Whew! That was fun, if occasionally nerve-wracking. The SEC and CFP implications are obviously important, and perhaps less so are the accolades like “consecutive ranked teams defeated;” but a rivalry game is a precious thing, and Bama won this one. Roll Tide! Box Score – Alabama vs Tennessee Box Score Alabama vs. Tennessee • Oct […]
Initial Impressions from the Tennessee Game
It’s always a good day to beat Tennessee, and last night was no exception. Alabama controlled the action throughout the evening. It wasn’t a completely stress-free affair, but the Tide generally maintained a two score lead in the second half. It was nice, wasn’t it? A few impressions: This game was much closer than the […]
Victory/Late Shift Open Thread: Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em
Alabama hosted Tennessee in this week’s difficult assignment from the brutal SEC grind, and emerged victorious by a score of 37-20. Unlike some other outings this season, Alabama started fast in this one and mostly controlled the action throughout the first half. Tennessee got the ball first and went three-and-out, then Ty Simpson capped off […]
TSIO – Alabama vs Tennessee Second Half Open Thread
ROLL TIDE! What a half from the Crimson Tide. Alabama forced a three and out to open the game, then ran a boa constrictor drive to chew up most of the 1st quarter before scoring a TD. To Tennessee’s credit, they did respond right after that when Bray Hubbard slipped down the seam and they […]

Alabama 2025 vs Tennessee Preview: Q&A with Rocky Top Talk
Long time frenemy of the blog, Terry Lambert, joined me for yet another year to talk about the Third Saturday in October. As far as Vols fans go, he’s a reasonable enough guy. Even if he likes Orange. 1. The top scoring offense in all of college football, and one of the worst defenses…. From […]
WAKE UP! Third Saturday college football television schedule, viewing guide, and unwatchable filth
Third Saturday is here, a time of joy fueled by hate, and this year we have the added incentive of last year’s fiasco to avenge. The Tide face yet another ranked opponent (its fourth in as many weeks), in a game that could prove determinative in who jets to Atlanta for the SEC crown. But, […]
Jumbo Package: Alabama football vs Tennessee previews and predictions
Happy Friday, everyone. As you well know, Tennessee visits tomorrow night, and Alabama got some very good news on the injury front. Alabama football changed the injury status of running back Jam Miller in a positive direction. Miller is now listed as probable on the Thursday night availability report. Miller had been listed as questionable Wednesday. Alabama’s top […]
Watch Live Here: Alabama basketball vs Florida State (exhibition)
We’re still in the midst of football season, but basketball is getting ready to fire things up as well. Tonight at 7pm CT, they face Florida State at Boutwell Auditorium in Birmingham. This matchup will be especially fun for Tide forward Taylor Bol Bowen, who transferred from FSU to Alabama in the offseason. The game […]
Alabama Football 2025 vs Tennessee: Previewing the Volunteer Defense
The Tennessee Volunteers are probably the most lopsided team in college football. While they sport the nation’s top scoring offense, their defense is very nearly at the bottom of the entire country, giving up 29 points per game… They even gave up 26 points to Syracuse and 24 to UAB. Oof. Shoot, even East Tennessee […]
