Predicting the 2026 Alabama Football Season: Auburn Tigers
Last and least of the wild blind dart-throwing predictions of Alabama SEC opponents is the eternal soap opera in Lee County. GAME 12, NOV 28: AUBURN TIGERS Coach: Comrade Alex Golesh (23–15 in three seasons at USF) 2025 Aub record: 5-7 (1-7 in SEC, T-13th in the conference, no Bowl) CB 2025 Prediction: 6-6; I […]
2026 Alabama Fall Football Preview: Special Teams
With the season almost upon us, there’s one more group of players who deserve some love in the roster previews, and that’s the specialists. Let’s be frank – this wasn’t a great unit last season. While the coverage units were fine, the kicking and punting both had plenty of issues, and the Tide got very […]
Jumbo Package: TE Josh Ford sees “tremendous player” in Keelon Russell
Happy Friday, everyone. College football season is officially upon us, and we already got our first zany moment of 2026. It was overturned because the ball hit the turf before the catch, but still a great moment. Devan Thompkins spoke to media about some of the offseason work the defensive line put in, and his […]
2026 Alabama Fall Football Preview: Tight End – A Deep Group
Alabama fans may recall just a few years ago, the Crimson Tide staff had to equip offensive linemen Kendall Randolph and Brandon Greene with jersey numbers in the 80’s so that they could change positions and fill needs at blocking tight end. This year’s Bama squad does not look like they will need to employ […]
Jumbo Package: Kane Wommack talks depth chart, seems pleased
Happy Thursday, everyone. We learned that Alabama will be kicking off the 2029 season earlier than usual. Alabama announced Wednesday it will play Louisiana Tech to open the 2029 season on August 25. The game will mark the earliest-ever start to an Alabama football season. The NCAA earlier this year standardized the beginning of its FBS football seasons beginning […]
2026 Alabama Fall Football Preview: Quarterbacks
Wild ride, huh? QB battles are always intense for fanbases, but this one felt like it may have been the most competitive QB battle for Alabama fans since the Jalen/Tua years. While all the other positions out there will rotate throughout a game and often times you have multiple on the field at once, the […]
Jumbo Package: Keelon Russell playing at “incredibly high level” per Ryan Grubb
Happy Gump Day, everyone, and good luck holding back your inner Gump as you hear Ryan Grubb gush about his young field general. When offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb thinks back to how Keelon Russell won the Alabama football starting quarterback job, he thought of moments like this one. Alabama was in the red zone on third down during the team’s second fall […]
Predicting the 2026 Alabama Football Season: Vanderbilt Commodores
The tenth installment of wild blind dart-throwing takes us to the least Nashville part of Nashville. GAME 10, NOV 14: vs VANDERBILT COMMODORES Coach: Clark Lea (can you believe he is starting his 6th seasons at Vandy? 26-36 overall, 11-29 SEC) 2025 VU record: 10-3 (6-2 SEC; lost Tampa Bowl to frickin’ Iowa. 🙄) CB […]
Jumbo Package: NFL Players coming back to college, what next?
We got our first press conference from Kalen DeBoer after naming Keelon Russell the starting QB. Most of what Kalen said about the QB battle was generic coach speak, as is his way of things. Of note, though, was his answer about the position battles along the offensive line. Left guard and right tackle battles? Left […]
Predicting the 2026 SEC Alabama Football Season: LSU Tigers
For installment number nine of wild blind dart-throwing predictions of Alabama opponents, we head down to where Huey Long 2.0 is pilfering the state’s welfare programs to pay for a winning football team. GAME 9, November 7: L$U TIGER$ Coach: Lane Kiffin (First season at LSU; 116–53 overall) 2025 record: 7-6 (3-5 in SEC, 10th […]
2026 Alabama Fall Football Preview: Wide Receivers
From Julio Jones in 2008 to Jameson Williams in 2021, Alabama had a spectacular run of wide receivers coming out of Tuscaloosa on their way to becoming 1st round NFL draft picks. Since 2022, though, the position group has had some struggles. 2022 and 2023 in particular, the group as a whole was a often […]
Jumbo Package: With QB decided, season prep begins
Happy Monday, everyone. Congratulations to all who are reading this, as you have made it through the long offseason and will see college football on your televisions this weekend. Sure, the biggest game on the schedule is North Carolina vs TCU in Ireland, but those who are starved can’t afford to be picky. You already […]
BREAKING: Alabama Football names Keelon Russell the starting QB for 2026
This entire offseason, most all conversations around Alabama have been something along the lines of “They improved a few areas from 2025, but we still don’t know who the QB is.” Well, now we do. And he’s only a former #2 overall recruit who also happens to be the highest ranked recruit that Alabama has […]
2026 Alabama Fall Football Preview: Linebackers
Inside linebackers are an unheralded lot in modern football. They barely get paid in the NFL, and they’re often the target of an offensive scheme: if an OC sees a smaller linebacker, they try to run the ball at them. If it’s a bigger linebacker, they try to get them into pass coverage. It’s a […]
Where does Alabama stand in the odds to win the SEC?
There’s been a lot of talk lately about where Alabama stands with the SEC, with plenty of talking heads out there dropping the Tide all the way down to 6th or 7th in the conference. Shoot, Bleacher Report recently dropped the Tide all the way to 8th. Hating on Alabama in en vogue right now. […]
Jumbo Package: Has Alabama found its QB1?
Happy Friday, everyone. Alabama held their second and final scrimmage of the fall yesterday. Chris Low made waves in the lead up when he dropped this nugget. Chris, the reporter who broke Nick Saban’s retirement, rarely misses. And it seems noteworthy that Keelon Russell took the first scrimmage snaps yesterday. Still, the head man is […]
2026 Alabama Fall Football Preview: The Edge Rushers
For all of the good things we’ve seen from Kane Wommack’s defense the last two seasons, the Tide has only tallied 58 total sacks over 28 games. Admittedly, this defensive scheme is much more akin to the early Saban/Smart in terms of approach to a defensive front and a pass rush (i.e., two-gapping and blitzing […]
Jumbo Package: Alabama, Tennessee return some color to the rivalry
Happy Thursday, everyone. The biggest news yesterday had to do with uniforms, as Alabama will wear Crimson in Knoxville this season while Tennessee also dons their home colors. With everything that’s going on in the sport nowadays, it’s great to see some nod to rivalry tradition, no matter how small. Alabama fans are appropriately in […]
Jumbo Package: Five-star freshmen push for playing time on defense
Happy Gump Day, everyone. Kane Wommack spoke to reporters yesterday, and he has communicated the urgency of practice to those who want to make the initial two deep. “I told the guys this is a really big week,” Wommack said after Tuesday’s practice. “Decisions are going to be made in my mind about who takes […]
2026 Alabama Fall Football Preview: Are Running Backs a Concern? AGAIN?
This time a year ago, I had questions: “Are running backs a concern?” and “should we be talking more about this position group?” The answers then were yes and yes, and they still are now. The new questions to add are “how did we get to this point” and “how can this be fixed?” The […]
Predicting the 2026 SEC Football Season: Texas A&M Aggies
In the eighth installment of our wild blind dart-throwing predictions, we travel to the land of creepy male cheerleaders in overalls and crew cuts making bad jokes that even your dad wouldn’t tell. WEEK 8, OCT 24: TEXAS A&M AGGIES Coach: Mike Elko (19–7, SEC 12–4 in seasons at TAMU) 2025 record: 11–2 (7–1 in […]
Jumbo Package: Alabama is one step closer to getting the offensive depth chart solidified
Kicking things off, we got a presser from Ryan Grubb where the notoriously loose-lipped OC gave us a handful of nuggets. First, it sound like they plan to name the starting QB next week. So that’ll be sure to cause a commotion. Some other notes: And here’s the catch from yesterday’s practice that everyone has […]
2026 Alabama Fall Football Preview: The Defensive Line got a LOT bigger
A week ago, we heard from defensive coordinator Kane Wommack that one of the biggest points of emphasis from the offseason was to get the defensive line bigger to hold up better, particularly in the run game. TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The Alabama coaching staff ran the numbers over the last two seasons and they weren’t […]
Jumbo Package: Injury update, depth chart questions halfway through camp
Happy Monday, everyone. In case you missed it, we learned about the severity of AK Dear’s ankle injury over the weekend. Alabama running back AK Dear is expected to miss about six weeks because of an ankle injury sustained in a preseason scrimmage, according to multiple reports. Crimson Tide coach Kalen DeBoer said Thursday that Dear was injured […]
Predicting the 2026 Alabama Football Season: Tennessee Vols’ QB Problem
It is installment number seven of wild blind dart-throwing predictions. Today, we move to the land of throw up orange – not that orange you can sit with. GAME 7, OCT 17, TSIO: TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS Coach: Josh Heupel (45–20 in five seasons in Knoxville, 24–16 SEC, 2-3 in bowl games) 2025 record: 8-5, 4-4 (T-8th […]
