Victory/Evening Shift Open Thread
Kalen DeBoer brought a tired and beat up team to face Texas A&M today The first half of this game was enough to make your eyes bleed. Perhaps Alabama came in worn down from the thinned out depth chart and the last two physical contests, but for whatever reason they were playing an uninspired brand […]
Alabama Football vs Texas A&M: First Half Impressions
With the teams entering the half 17-17, this game might be setting QB play back a few decades. Texas A&M opened up the game with a pick six and then another interception in the first five plays of the game. Unfortunately for Alabama, the offense could do absolutely nothing off of that, and came away […]
Wake Up! Week 8 Viewing Guide and Morning Open Thread
Alabama is rolling into a homecoming game vs. a floundering Texas A&M squad after the Tide took back to back losses against Georgia and Tennessee. The good news is that pretty much everyone in the top ten lost last week, too. The bad news is that Alabama look utterly hapless doing it. In any case, […]
Jumbo Package: Alabama football vs Texas A&M previews and predictions
Happy Friday, everyone. Alabama basketball beat Auburn last night. Sure, it was an exhibition game but the Auburn fans are already in midseason form. Never mind the fact that Alabama was playing without both of its point guards or Cole Cloer, who had led the team in scoring through the first two exhibitions. In football […]
Alabama Football 2026 vs Texas A&M: Previewing the Aggie Defense
While the Texas A&M Aggies have been, to put it bluntly, an abject disaster on offense in 2026, their defense has been markedly better. They shut out their two cupcakes and held Arkansas to only 7 points. On the other hand, they gave up 31 to Kentucky, 35 to LSU, and 27 to Missouri in […]
Tide Takes Down Auburn In The Feud, 87-85
Alabama improved to 3-0 in the exhibition season by defeating in state rival Auburn 87-85 in a thrilling, physical, chippy game. The contest was played in Birmingham at a packed Legacy Arena. The Tide was without freshman sharp shooting guard Cole Cloer, and point guards Aden Holloway and Anderson Diaz. Bama will open the season […]
Open Thread: Alabama Basketball vs. Auburn
Nate Oats and company take on Auburn tonight in the final preseason scrimmage. Alabama is still without Aden Holloway and Anderson Diaz, and Cole Cloer is out with an injury that is not considered long term. However, the Tide will have Jaxon Richardson available for the first time. Tip-off is at 7pm, from Birmingham. It […]
Jumbo Package: Injury report released for Alabama vs Texas A&M
Happy Thursday, everyone. Alabama basketball has its final preseason scrimmage tonight, against Auburn in Birmingham. The Tide are still shorthanded in the backcourt as Aden Holloway continues to serve his suspension Anderson Diaz remains on the shelf, but you can catch the game on livestream tonight at 7pm CT. In football news, the injury report […]
Alabama Football 2026 vs Texas A&M: Previewing the Aggie Offense
For many years, I felt like my offensive previews for the Texas A&M Aggies were all about the same when talking about a Jimbo Fisher offense. Since the Aggies made the swap the Mike Elko as the head coach, though, the Tide hasn’t played them, so this is the first time I’ve gotten a good […]
Jumbo Package: Alabama players talk urgency ahead of Texas A&M
Happy Gump Day, everyone. Alabama faces Texas A&M this weekend in a game that they absolutely cannot afford to lose if making the College Football Playoff is a goal. The players seem to understand the urgency. “You have to put pressure,” Taylor said after Tuesday’s practice. “Pressure’s a good thing. Pressure makes diamonds. With that […]
Random Thoughts Week 7: SEC Chaos, Unlucky Irish, Sketchy Officiating
Five of the nation’s top seven teams went down on the same Saturday for the first time in AP Poll history. A sixth team in that grouping barely won by the hair of their chinny-chin-chin thanks to fishy officiating. The only other team in the top seven to not lose was No. 4 anOhio State […]
Jumbo Package: Ryan Grubb faces the media after disaster in Knoxville
Let’s start from the top, and get through the media appearances from the two coordinators and head coach. First up is Ryan Grubb, who is pretty much public enemy #1 in the state of Alabama right now. On the identity of the offense: “Our identity is to be able to get our playmakers the ball […]
Jumbo Package: Wounded Tide moves on to Texas A&M
Happy Monday, everyone. Alabama players are focused on getting back to work after a humbling loss in Knoxville. “Got to get back up on your feet,” Alabama quarterback Keelon Russell said. “Nobody’s going to hold their head down. You hate to lose, especially this one. Big rivalry game. We hate to lose that. It is […]
Alabama Baseball Loses To Georgia Tech, 6-4
The Alabama Crimson Tide traveled to Pensacola, Florida to take on the Georgia Tech Yellowjackets Saturday afternoon. The game was played in the AA Pensacola Blue Wahoos Stadium. The Yellowjackets took the game by a score of 6-4. The Tide used five pitchers and 14 position players in the exhibition. Alabama will finish their pre […]
8 “not close” graphs from the Tennessee game
Well, that was something. Listen, I’m not going to have the lengthiest update today in terms of “advanced stats.” Some losses give us really interesting analysis; this one didn’t. For example, if I were writing for the Georgia blog today, I could tell you that the Dawgs should have won their game going away. See […]
Alabama Crimson Tide vs Texas A&M Aggies Opening Odds: Cover or Not?
Following two disappointing performances, the Crimson Tide slinks home to lick their wounds and figure out a way to get an invitation to the Big Dance. Clearly, Alabama (5-2) is behind the 8-ball and must win out for even a prayer of making the CFP. That begins with a home game against the scuffling Aggies […]
Initial Impressions from the Tennessee game
Alabama fans certainly weren’t expecting to see the Tide get dominated in Knoxville yesterday. Kalen DeBoer and staff are rightfully getting some heat following a performance that was reminiscent of the Oklahoma game in 2024, when a physical Sooners team feeding off of a raucous home crowd rendered Alabama’s offense useless. DeBoer’s squads have been […]
Postgame/Evening Shift Open Thread
Well, that wasn’t very fun, was it? Alabama must have gotten nostalgic for those abominable starts from early in the season, because they doubled down on this one. The entire first quarter was played on Alabama’s half of the field, and Tennessee led 9-0 before Tide fans had a chance to get settled into their […]
Alabama Football 2026 vs. Tennessee: First Half Impressions
Remember a month ago when Alabama had horrible-no-good-very-bad start to the game vs Kentucky and we all thought things couldn’t be worse? Well they found a way. The Tide opened the game with a 3-and-out and a fumble, then followed that up with another three and out, interception, and two more punts on short drives […]
Wake Up! Week 7 Viewing Guide and Morning Open Thread
First of all, get your mind right Alabama is set to take on the fighting pumpkins in their garbage truck worker convention of a stadium at 2:30 this afternoon. On top of just being an absolute must to win the border war, this is a huge game for the Tide to prove that the loss […]
Jumbo Package: Alabama football at Tennessee previews and predictions
Happy Friday, everyone. Alabama basketball dominated the glass last night to edge Ole Miss in the second exhibition of the basketball season. They were sorely missing a point guard though, as the Rebels rode a whopping 12 steals to score 23 points off of turnovers. The first couple of games might be hairy with Aden […]
Alabama Football 2026: Previewing the Tennessee Defense
Last year, the Tennessee defense took a major nosedive throughout the season, ultimately giving up nearly 400 yards and 30 points per game across the season. Long time defensive coordinator Tim Banks, who’d been with the program since Josh Heupel took over, was fired, and the Vols then brought in veteran DC Jim Knowles. Knowles […]
Tide Holds On To Beat Ole Miss, 92-84
The Alabama Crimson Tide improved to 2-0 in exhibition games after defeating Ole Miss 92-84 on Thursday night. The game was played in Birmingham’s iconic Boutwell Auditorium.

Jumbo Package: Alabama’s banged up lines will be tested on Saturday
Happy Thursday, everyone. We’ll open today with a little Alabama basketball, as you’ll get your first televised taste of the 2026-27 squad tonight on SEC Network. The Crimson Tide will face the Rebels at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 15 at Boutwell Auditorium in Birmingham. Alabama‘s appearance in the Ballin’ in Boutwell Exhibition marks the […]
Jumbo Package: Avoiding sacks will be key in Knoxville
Happy Gump Day, everyone. Theodore Fernandez has positively Gumpy grades for the Tide halfway through the regular season. Alabama is 5-1. Repeat that over the second half of the season, and the Crimson Tide is back in the College Football Playoff. That is the framework I entered the season under, yet it feels lazy now. […]
