Greetings, BBN! Texas A&M rolled past LSU in what turned out to be Brian Kelly’s last game in Baton Rouge, Alabama survived a scare from South Carolina on the road, Ole Miss bested Oklahoma in Norman in a battle of 6-1 records, Vandy did the same hosting 6-1 Mizzou, Texas survived Mississippi State in their […]
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 […]
Week 9 was not nearly as wild as previous Saturdays this season. The top ten remains the same, just in a slightly different order. Alabama, Ole Miss, Vanderbilt, and Virginia all pulled out close wins on the road. Miami fell one spot after its blowout of Stanford. One of the Canes’ best wins, USF, blew […]
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 […]

Just over halfway through the 2025 football season, we’re seeing one of the weirdest, wildest seasons since the fabled days of 2007. Florida State beat Alabama in week one before then imploding like rebar-less concrete. Vanderbilt is ranked in the top 10 with a possible Heisman candidate at quarterback. Indiana is the second-ranked team in […]
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 […]

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 […]
Greetings, BBN! The first week of 100% participation in conference action absolutely delivered on Saturday. With no byes and no non-conference games, the eighth week of the season whittled our unbeaten numbers down even more. Texas A&M and Alabama are the league’s last teams unbeaten in conference play, and the Aggies are the last team […]
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 […]
Week 8 saw four top ten teams go down: Miami, Ole Miss, Texas Tech, and LSU. At least they lost to good teams, with the four winning opponents all being ranked teams below. That’s competition folks! Elsewhere, Alabama picked up their fourth win in a row over a ranked SEC team, a new record. In […]
Indiana football quarterback Fernando Mendoza has the second best odds to win the Heisman Trophy following Week 9, per FanDuel Sportsbook. As of Sunday afternoon, Mendoza’s odds sit at +340, just behind Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson, who leads with odds of +320. The two are trailed by Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin (+410), Texas A&M […]

October 4th delivered a new type of painful loss to Alabama. For much of Vanderbilt football history, the pain has been because the loss was by a ridiculous number of points or was never competitive. The most recent matchup was a 9-point game with a garbage time TD on 4th and 2 thrown on top. […]

Manning, on his personal Twitter account, announced that he will be in Austin playing for Steve Sarkisian come 2023 and beyond:
