Indiana, Oregon, Miami-FL, and Ole Miss. Just like everyone predicted. Right? With one glaring exception, the lower seeds have won seven of eight games over the top 4 seeds in two years of the stupid expanded playoff. We have discussed this in previous weeks and it rang true once again for three teams this year: […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
