For the eighth time this season, Curt Cignetti’s Indiana Hoosiers got out to a big enough lead to bring in Alberto Mendoza and the the rest of the second-team players for some second half reps. This time, it came against the Alabama Crimson Tide in the Rose Bowl, helping Indiana advance to the College Football […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

The first round of the 2025 College Football Playoff is in the books, and two road teams did get victories, starting with Alabama on Friday and Miami on Saturday. The other two games played out as expected, although James Madison continued to fight until the end and posted a respectable scoreline of 51-34 to show […]

Trends play out on paper, football games are decided on the field. Alabama beating Oklahoma was another data point in favor of teams that lost the first matchup in a season, turning around and winning the second game. It was a 100% rate, UNTIL those Ole Miss Rebels wrecked that trend. Not only did Ole […]

[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 […]

So yesterday, in the College Football Playoff, Tulane lost to Ole Miss 41-10 and James Madison lost to Oregon 51-34. Let’s be clear: Vanderbilt is the little guy and always will be.

Things started out terribly but worked out in the end, as Alabama avenged their earlier loss to Oklahoma to advance in the College Football Playoff. Alabama won the toss and elected to defer, giving the ball first to Oklahoma QB John Mateer. The Sooners predictably tried to be aggressive on the first play with a […]

Well then. Alabama was an abject disaster for the 1st quarter. Oklahoma got out to a 7 point lead after the Tide went 3 and out. Then they went three and out again, and Oklahoma scored again. And rinse-repeat, and suddenly the Sooners were up 17-0, and the game felt pretty well over. Until it […]
