Latest news and updates about the Alabama
ICYMI: Alabama signed an additional recruit on Thursday. From Andrew Bone (paywall): “Traeshawn Brown (sic), a running back from Huntsville HS (Texas), was expected to sign with Boise State on Wednesday. That changed when Alabama offered on Tuesday. The staff always prepares contingency options if unexpected flips occur or if they choose to move on […]
It’s no question that when Illinois plays a team it should beat, the Illini lay down the hammer. But when it’s a difficult game…. well, we know how it usually ends. The stats back that up: But the Illini are 0-2 this season away from Champaign, which includes losses to No. 11 Alabama (United Center) […]
Happy Friday, everyone. Your previews and predictions for tomorrow’s SEC Championship Game: Colin Gay: Ty Simpson has been incredibly inconsistent with his downfield passing ability. Facing Georgia, which has one of the better run defenses in the country, Alabama may have to rely on Simpson’s arm to move the ball downfield. Can Simpson find that consistency, […]
Week 14, Rivalry Week, started with Texas handing Texas A&M their first loss of the season. The loss knocked Texas A&M out of the SEC Championship but put Texas in the discussion for the College Football Playoff. Auburn gave Alabama all it could handle in the Iron Bowl, but the Crimson Tide prevailed. Georgia Tech […]
Gone are the days of Signing Day shenanigans and intrigue. Outside of a few fringe cases (mostly laughing at Penn State this year), the Signing Days have been mostly devoid of drama the last few years. I think there are a few reasons: In any case, it doesn’t much matter, I guess. Alabama went out […]
Happy Thursday, everyone. Alabama got some tough injury news yesterday, ahead of the SEC Championship Game vs. Georgia. Alabama running back Jam Miller is questionable for the SEC Championship Game, according to the availability report released Wednesday. Miller left the Iron Bowl on crutches after sustaining a lower-body injury. Tight end Josh Cuevas, tight end […]

Until the idiots at the NCAA fix it, the Early Signing Period is the de facto National Signing Day. Alabama is in position for another Top 5 class. COMMITS COMMITTED BUT NOT EXPECTED POTENTIAL FLIPS EARLY ENROLLEES With the exception of DL Nolan Wilson and DL Malique Franklin, all current Alabama commits are expected to […]
When I saw Miami at 12 in the latest CFP poll, initially, I thought that’s not good for Miami. Then Notre Dame dropped a spot to 10. Oddly enough, Alabama moved up a spot after barely surviving 5 win Auburn. Nevermind, they have a loss to one of the ACC’s worst teams, Florida State. That’s … Continue reading »
The penultimate set of College Football Playoff rankings were released and the committee decided to move Notre Dame down to #10 and Alabama up to #9. If you’ve been paying attention to me over the past few weeks — this is pretty much what I expected from the committee. They want Bama in the playoff […]
Over the last 24 hours, there was a decent bit of chatter surrounding betting odds that Alabama’s odds of making the playoffs jumped significantly. Plus, BetMGM apparently locked betting on the Tide. Was there a leak in the playoff committee’s rankings? Quite possibly. In any case, the Tide has now moved up to #9, swapping […]
It was rivalry week for most of the country – with a few exceptions playing cupcakes that they are trying to pass off as Power conference opponents. There was plenty of excitement, but the real fireworks came on Black Sunday. Alabama 27 Auburn 20 – It was another scary visit to Jerdin’s Hair for the […]
Greetings, BBN! Texas upset Texas A&M, Georgia edged Georgia Tech, Ole Miss retained the Egg Bowl (but not its coach) against Hail State, Oklahoma held off LSU, Alabama triumphed in the Iron Bowl, Vanderbilt throttled Tennessee, Kentucky got blanked at Louisville, South Carolina fell short against Clemson, Missouri rolled Arkansas, and Florida chomped up Florida […]
Happy Monday, everyone. Alabama will face Georgia in Atlanta for the SEC Championship, the only way for the Tide to truly guarantee itself a playoff spot. This, despite already beating Georgia in Athens this season to grab the top seed in the nation’s toughest league. If there was no game this week, Alabama would be […]
It’s officially time to hate Lane Kiffin again. Alabama fans have come to love Lane Kiffin over the past several years. After participating in the Nick Saban Coaching Rehabilitation Program as an analyst, Kiffin was hired as Alabama’s offensive coordinator headed into the 2014 season. He had quite the run of success, first coaxing a […]
Style points don’t really matter anymore in this modern era and for that, Alabama should be thankful. It’s never easy for the Tide to win on the pasture, and things get particularly chippy when those critters have nothing to lose and an opportunity to ruin Alabama’s season. Auburn’s season is now over, so they can […]
Alabama started strong and hung on late, knocking off Auburn 27-20 at Jordan-Hare stadium. Out of the gate, the game looked about like most expected it to. Both offenses had a rough time to get anything going. Alabama’s defense was particularly dominant in holding the Auburn offense to a mere 26 yards on its first […]
Cole wrote your weekend rooting guide yesterday, which, fine, if you want to root for Alabama, go for it I guess. Cole also did not include all the important stuff, like MACtion, FCS, Division II, Division III, and NAIA playoff games in the open thread, so here’s the full viewing guide for Saturday that includes […]
Only a few short weeks ago, Auburn was the laughingstock of the SEC for scoring all of 3 points against Kentucky. That, plus the 5 SEC games before it, saw the Tigers average an utterly dreadful 15 points per game that wound up with head coach Hugh Freeze getting the can pretty much as soon […]
Last weekend was one devoid of many upsets, so there wasn’t much change, and Alabama held serve at #10. In fact, the only thing that did change was Ole Miss and Oregon swapping spots. 1. Ohio State2. Indiana3. Texas A&M4. Georgia5. Texas Tech6. Oregon7. Ole Miss8. Oklahoma9. Notre Dame10. Alabama11. BYU12. Miami Now maybe the […]
As usual, we got our round up of interviews from the Alabama coaching staff at the start of the game week. Ryan Grubb “There’s a lot of factors that go into it. I did it a few times at Fresno. Some of it has to do with comfort level with two parts. Number one, the […]
With only one week left in the regular season, we all know where the teams stand. Texas A&M is undefeated and in sole possession of first place, while Alabama, Georgia, and Ole Miss are all tied up with one conference loss each. Georgia plays out-of-conference Georgia Tech this week, so that game doesn’t matter in […]
It wasn’t the prettiest of first halves for the Tide, but they made it to halftime with a 28-0 lead. The Alabama defense was nearly perfect, absolutely stymieing the overmatched Panthers for -1 total rushing yards and 13 passing yards, plus the special teams got a punt block. The Alabama offense was given a couple […]
The race for the college football playoffs is in full heat. The current 12 teams in ranked order are, Ohio State, Indiana, Texas A&M, Georgia, Texas Tech, Ole Miss, Oregon, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Alabama, Miami, and Tulane. There are still a half-dozen teams very much in the mix. These are the names/games TST will be […]
