Jumbo Package: Alabama and Auburn speak out against the Protect College Sports Act
Well well well, Alabama and Auburn agreed on something: In other words, it seems we are no closer to anything. Oh well. The 1966 and 2016 teams are getting honored for their SEC championships next season: The Alabama Crimson Tide are set to honor two of its 30 SEC football championship teams at Bryant-Denny Stadium […]

Happy Friday, everyone. Today is a holiday for many as we plan to celebrate ‘Murica, including sportswriters. But we will bring you what we have per usual. Nick Kelly covered “clutch” Zabien Brown in the latest “50 players” series. “It’s just a clutch gene,” Brown said underneath the stadium in December after the game. “I […]
From the Archives ~ How the Oklahoma Sooners and the Selma Marches Saved Alabama Football
When RBR switched over to the new platform, all FanPosts were flushed down the toilet. C.J. Schexnayder‘s (aka kleph) wrote this piece in the form of a FanPost published on March 9, 2015. As a courtesy to one of former writers and as a friend of RollBamaRoll, we repost this article here. Note that events […]
Jumbo Package: Can Cederian Morgan break out as a freshman?
Happy Thursday, everyone. Pete Nakos over at On3 did some digging on the NIL market for high school recruits this cycle, and it’s easy to see why Courtney Morgan and Kalen DeBoer prioritized retention instead. Texas Tech defensive line commit and No. 1 recruit Jalen Brewster is expected to make $1 million in Year 1. Cornerback John Meredith, […]
Should Alabama Football fans be worried the Tide isn’t winning recruiting in-state?
At this point, you’ve all seen the graphic that’s making rounds on the internet: Everyone and their mothers are having a field day with it and dancing on the the grave while praying for Tide to actually wind up there. Now, to be frank, there’s very fair reasons for concern about Alabama’s recruiting class this […]
Jumbo Package: Bray Hubbard looks to lead a title-worthy secondary
Happy Gump Day, everyone. Alabama’s secondary is expected to be one of the best in the nation in 2026, and Bray Hubbard is a big reason why.

BEST OF RBR ~ Inside the Star Chamber: the unconstitutional farce of Title IX enforcement on college campuses
Continuing on our low-key celebration of 20 Years of RBR, we dug a beauty out of the archives. Long-time contributor Erik Evans posted this longform on Dec 19, 2016. He is really proud of this post and he tells me that it took a whole week to put together. The subject is still as poignant […]
Jumbo Package: Terrion Arnold released from the Detroit Lions
First things first, let’s talk a little about the Terrion Arnold story. It was a whirlwind of news yesterday, as he got through his hearing and was granted bail (despite the local attorney’s office requesting he be held without bail). Some clips from the hearing even leaked out that seemed like his defense was really […]
Jumbo Package: Alabama lands top 100 WR prospect
Happy Monday, everyone. There were many hallelujahs over the weekend after Alabama landed a top 100 prospect in WR Osani Gayles. After landing multiple receivers in Kalen DeBoer’s first two recruiting classes at Alabama, Gayles is the first one to join Alabama in 2027. But Gayles is the quality of receiver the Crimson Tide expects […]
From the Archives ~ Avatus Stone: The Man Who Didn’t Break The Orange Bowl Color Barrier
As a companion piece to C.J. Schexnayder‘s (aka kleph) previous post, here is the story of Avatus Stone as written on the Syracuse SBNation site nunesmagician.com in the form of a FanPost published on April 24 2011. After the format switchover by the mothership, all the FanPosts across the SBN universe were lost. As a […]
Football Recruiting Rankings – Don’t Believe the Hype, or Lack There Of
There has been a great deal of hand-wringing over Alabama Football recruiting as of late. The truth is, you can’t trust the recruiting rankings any more. Covering crootin’ became a career path in the early 1990s when college football scouting pioneer Forrest Davis put out a publication called the Forrest Davis Southern Football Recruiting Annual. […]
Jumbo Package: Nate Oats isn’t going anywhere
Happy Friday, everyone. Nate Oats went on ESPN Radio yesterday and said something that should be music to every Alabama fan’s ears. “I’ve known Warde Manuel for a while, but they’ve got a coach,” Oats said. “I’m very happy where I’m at in Alabama. I’ve got a pretty hefty buyout for a good reason because […]
Jumbo Package: Alabama football viewed as a wild card for 2026
Happy Thursday, everyone. Terrion Arnold was arrested yesterday, and it could be disastrous. On February 3, police said Arnold and Boakai Hilton lured the victims to an apartment in Tampa. Once they arrived, Christion Williams and Lyndell Hudson jumped out, grabbed the victims, and held them at gunpoint. Police say the video of the attack […]
Tide Baseball Busy In Portal
The Alabama Crimson Tide wrapped up their 2026 season in Omaha in the College World Series. Things didn’t go as they wished, and Bama was sent home after losing their first two games. The Tide finished the season 42-21 with an 18-12 record in the SEC, good enough for a 4th place finish. With two-thirds […]
From the RBR Archives ~ The 1953 Orange Bowl: Alabama Football’s Racial Dilemma
RollBamaRoll.com was birthed on May 30, 2006 when Nico G posted a Welcome to RollBamaRoll.com! post. 20 years later, we are still here and going strong. The bylines have changed but the agenda and attitudes are basically the same. To honor 20 Years of RBR, we thought we’d bring back some of the most intriguing […]
Jumbo Package: NCAA adopts five year, age based eligibility rule
Happy Gump Day, everyone. Labaron Philon became Alabama’s first NBA Draft pick since 2023 last night, chosen 22nd overall by the Philadelphia 76ers. Here’s what Philly brass had to say about him. Gansey said Philadelphia had Philon “a lot higher” on its draft board. “I think this is a really deep draft, at least in […]
NBA Draft 2026: Labaron Philon goes 22nd to the Philadelphia 76ers
Alabama has had plenty of success in March over the past couple of seasons, but hadn’t had a player taken in the NBA Draft since 2023. That changed tonight. Labaron Philon, coming off of an All-American and first-team SEC campaign, heard his name called in the first round as the Philadelphia 76ers selected him with […]
Alabama Softball Survives the Transfer Portal; Picks Up Three
The Crimson Tide lost seven players to graduation, but none to transfer. Two of the losses were full-time starters and a third became a starter late in the season. Alabama has picked up two transfers from D-I schools and one from juco. All things considered, the Tide got off pretty well. GRADUATED UPGRADE PORTAL There […]

Jumbo Package: Alabama lands a CB commit, hand-wringing continues
Happy Monday, everyone. To read some takes on Alabama recruiting, we have reached the “head’s pets are falling off” stage. In last year’s class, DeBoer recruited the state a lot harder, landing three of the top five players in the state, including the state’s highest-ranked player (E.J. Crowell). Yet, out of the other ten players […]
Jumbo Package: Nate Oats continues to load up the schedule
Happy Friday, everyone. We learned yesterday that Nate Oats has added yet another marquee opponent to the basketball schedule.

Jumbo Package: College football leaders waste more time on CFP talks
Happy Thursday, everyone. The college football commissioners met yesterday to discuss the future of the playoff. Surely you didn’t expect any consensus, as the mighty dollar is all anyone is worried about. The Big Ten and SEC have final say over the format, and the impasse between the conferences after last season kept the CFP […]
Jumbo Package: Kalen DeBoer speaks on QB battle, recruiting numbers
Happy Gump Day, everyone. The topic du jour seems to be the Alabama quarterback race. Nick Kelly wrote about Austin Mack for yesterday’s “50 players” installment. Mack was the first quarterback off the bench when Simpson had to leave the Rose Bowl with an injury. So, it wasn’t a surprise when Mack was usually the […]
