Happy Monday, everyone. The Gym Tide hosted Mizzou on Friday night and things went well. Competing in front of its home crowd for the first time this season, in front of 9,216 fans, the No. 3 Alabama gymnastics team (2-1, 1-1 SEC) used a season-high score to defeat the seventh-ranked Missouri Tigers (4-2, 0-2 SEC), […]
The 18th ranked Crimson Tide fell to the visiting Tennessee Volunteers 79-73 on Saturday night in Coleman Coliseum. The Tide added Charles Bediako to the roster in a move that has been the talk of college basketball, but couldn’t overcome the absence of Aden Holloway, Amari Allen, Keitenn Bristow, Davion Hannah, and Collins Onyejiaka, or […]
Tennessee came to Tuscaloosa badly needing a win to stay in the conference race and they got it, beating Alabama 79-73. This one started out slow and physical, as games against a Rick Barnes coached squad tend to do. The Vols were intent on taking away the three pointer and did so successfully early on. […]
This is getting kind of hysterical at this point: So, Aden Holloway and Amari Allen are OUT; Latrell Wrightsell and Charles Bediako are IN. Two of the most important players of the 2026 campaign won’t be playing tonight, but key members of the 2023 and 2024 teams are ready to pick up the slack! What […]
“Imagine if this team had Charles Bediako…” That was a common thought that crossed my mind dozens of times during the 2023-24 Tide Hoops season. That team ultimately ended up making a run to the Final Four, of course, but only once Nick Pringle channeled his inner ‘Angry Chuck’ and gave Alabama a legitimate presence […]
All the local beat sites have now reported that Alabama’s coaching staff is planning to move on from OL Coach Chris Kapilovich. It was far from an unexpected move, as most fans have been calling for Kap to be let go ever since the Tide was ejected from the playoffs. While the pass blocking was […]
Happy Friday, everyone. We hope that everyone is safe and warm as Mother Nature takes aim at the southeast. Not much going on today other than hand-wringing over the Charles Bediako situation. Florida coach Todd Golden probably had the best soundbite. Florida men’s basketball coach Todd Golden didn’t mince words when asked about the prospect […]
Happy Thursday, everyone. It’s Alabama’s turn to be front and center in the ever-changing landscape of college athletics after Charles Bediako was granted a TRO that makes him immediately eligible. Nate Oats reportedly plans to take advantage of the situation. Alabama coach Nate Oats plans to play Charles Bediako on Saturday at home against Tennessee, source told The Field […]
The Tide got some huge transfer portal news today, as Mississippi State starting left tackle Jayvin James committed to Alabama. 2025 would prove to be James’ only season with the Bulldogs. He started 12 games for Mississippi State, only missing the opening game of the regular season. Nine of those starts came at the left […]
Happy Gump Day, everyone. Alabama 5-star freshman RB Ezavier Crowell was named Mr. Football in Alabama for the 2025 season. “I told myself that I was going to be the best high school football player in Alabama next year,” Crowell said. “To be here holding these awards, it’s just a blessing and shows that I’m […]
College sports are a mess right now, with more drama in offseason courtrooms than on the playing surface. In the latest public flap, Duke is currently suing QB Darian Mensah for breach of contract after he entered the transfer portal and signed with Miami despite having signed over his NIL rights to Duke. Things have […]
Well, there was a football game last night, if anyone cared. Jokes aside, the Miami/Indiana matchup was a surprisingly good one, especially for those that like to watch great defensive line play. Both teams’ DLs dominated most of the night, but things started leaking for both defenses with explosive plays in the 4th quarter. The […]
With the Hoosiers defeat of the Hurricanes, the 2025 college football season comes to an end. Indiana 27 Miami-FL 21 BLIND EYE TURNING OF THE WEEK I get you are going to “let them play”, but how do you let this slide? JUKE OF THE WEEK SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYS OF THE WEEK CATCH OF THE […]
Happy Monday, everyone. After a promising start, the Alabama women’s basketball team had about the worst week imaginable, with losses to Auburn and Tennessee. Coming off back-to-back losses to Auburn and No. 20 Tennessee, the No. 21 Crimson Tide (17-3, 3-3 SEC) have a lot to work on ahead of its matchup with Mississippi State […]
The trenches have been the primary area of concern for Alabama fans, as the roster has suffered much attrition on both lines of scrimmage. Yesterday, Alabama added three offensive linemen in effort to fill out the depth chart on that side of the ball. Last night into today, they have filled out the defensive side. […]
The 18th ranked Alabama Crimson Tide overcame another first half double digit deficit and used a late spurt to take down the Oklahoma Sooners 83-81 on Saturday afternoon. Bama improved to 13-5 overall and 3-2 in the SEC while OU fell to 11-7 and 1-4 in conference play. The beat up Tide welcomed back Taylor […]
Alabama visited Oklahoma today and survived with a hard fought 83-81 victory. This one started out fast, as both teams came out firing. It was 12-12 at the first four-minute timeout and a fun one seemed to be brewing. Per usual, Labaron Philon was keying things on offense for the Tide. On defense, Alabama struggled […]
The 18th-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide heads to Norman, OK for the second leg of its road trip this week – a match-up with the Sooners. Porter Moser’s squad isn’t exactly the class of the SEC, but we’ve seen Alabama fail to wake up in time for a brunch battle in Norman before. With as many […]
Alabama’s offensive line has suffered significant attrition since the season ended, as starters Parker Brailsford and Kadyn Proctor declared for the NFL Draft, Wilkin Formby transferred out, and Kam Dewberry, Geno VanDeMark, and Jaeden Roberts all ran out of eligibility. This left only two players, guard William Sanders and right tackle Michael Carroll, with any […]
After a dominant second half in Starkville where the 18th-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide answered a major gut check in a big way, Nate Oats’ squad now heads to the Sooner state to take on Porter Moser’s outfit in Norman. Things haven’t exactly gone well for the Tide the last couple of times Alabama had an […]
Happy Friday, everyone. The transfer portal closes today, which means that players will not be able to enter. We will still see plenty of guys picking new schools, however, particularly over the next couple of weeks. Alabama has a “Spring 2” semester that starts February 9, which will be in time to get players enrolled […]
And then there were two. For better or for worse, the 2025 College Football season is down to two teams for the Big Beer Tap Trophy. THE PARTICIPANTS: On one side, Miami-FL finished third in their conference and did not even play in their conference’s championship game. It’s like deja vu al over again. In […]
Happy Thursday, everyone. The biggest news of the day is Mark Ingram’s well deserved selection for the College Football Hall of Fame. In 39 games at Alabama, Ingram had 3,261 rushing yards and 46 total touchdowns. Ingram won the Heisman in 2009, helping lead Alabama to a BCS National Championship with 1,658 rushing yards and […]
The 18th ranked Alabama Crimson Tide limped into to Starkville to take in the Mississippi State Bulldogs on Tuesday night.

Happy Gump Day, everyone. A shorthanded Alabama basketball squad got off the mat to whip Mississippi State in Starkville last night, a welcome sight after the Tide lost the past two outings. Nate Oats provided an update after the game. “Bristow’s got a left leg injury, I don’t know how long he’ll be out for,” […]
