Happy Thursday, everyone. Kalen DeBoer has been panned to a degree for his “coach-speak” in public interviews. He got pretty candid this week though, offering some insight into how he has motivated this group. “I don’t think until it’s all said and done, I’m not gonna let our guys think that we’re back,” DeBoer said. […]

With the bye week upon us, it seems like a good time to catch up on Alabama football recruiting for the Class of 2026. While the Crimson Tide already has 23 hard commits, there is still potential to pick up a few more in the coming days leading up to December’s Signing Day. NOV 8 […]

It’s very light on news today, so this will be a panoply of discussion topics. And, let’s begin with a 2025 Alabama Crimson Tide that is beginning to resemble some of those vintage Saban teams. Hear me out, before you register your disagreements. College football’s premier scholar-athlete award that annually recognizes an individual as the […]

There were not a lot of upsets, but there were plenty of nailbiters decided in the final seconds of games – including two that ended at the one inch line. Alabama 29 South Carolina 22 – The Gamecocks came out of the locker room fired up and rejuvenated. SC kicked a field goal on the […]

With Alabama blessedly entering a much-needed bye week, the coaching staff is breaking from their usual Monday press conferences. With that, news around the Tide is sparse. We did get our game time scheduled for LSU week, though. Alabama football’s matchup with LSU, the Tigers’ first game since firing former head coach Brian Kelly, will […]

Happy Monday, everyone. Alabama remains 4th in the polls following their win over South Carolina as all three teams ranked above them held serve. One of those teams is Texas A&M, which somehow blew out LSU in Baton Rouge despite the game being played at night. LSU coach Brian Kelly’s tenure did not survive. Kelly’s […]

With Alabama’s second bye week upon us, it’s time to take stock nationally. We have more than enough data at this point in the season. Conference standings are shaking out. And there is a queue beginning to form for the national title. We seem to say this every year, but in 2025, it really is […]

Yeeesh. Listen, I’ll gladly take the W and nod along with the “found a way to win it” crowd. But this game did very little to assuage the nerves I wrote about after the Mizzou win. These close games feel unsustainable (though, I also said that a few weeks, and a few wins, ago). I’ll […]

Give South Carolina credit. I had wondered coming into the game how much juice they’d have left, having lost two straight and four overall. There isn’t much left for them to play for other than pride, but they showed some last night and had Alabama squarely on the ropes. It was their Homecoming game so […]

This team, ostensibly the fourth-best in all of college football and a national title contender, absolutely refuses to make things easy on themselves, particularly when the task is objectively an easier one. Alabama went to Columbia to play the least talented team it has faced since Wisconsin, in its easiest task of the last two […]

It was a generally bad start for Alabama, as the defense gave up plenty of yards and conversions to a dreadful South Carolina offense while the Tide offense was completely anemic. However, a DaShawn Jones pick 6 off of a bobbled screen pass put the Tide in front by 7 points early, and the USC […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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, 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
