The Champagne of 'Bama Blogs
Alright, I’m going to start off today’s post by venting for a minute. The Player’s Era Festival is kind of a joke. It’s great that the players are getting NIL funds to participate, but it is so poorly organized. If you stayed up last night to watch Alabama eviscerate UNLV, then you know that truTV […]
Only a few short weeks ago, Auburn was the laughingstock of the SEC for scoring all of 3 points against Kentucky. That, plus the 5 SEC games before it, saw the Tigers average an utterly dreadful 15 points per game that wound up with head coach Hugh Freeze getting the can pretty much as soon […]
Happy Gump Day, everyone. Alabama basketball bounced back from the Gonzaga loss by blowing out UNLV in the wee hours of the morning. Tonight they will face Maryland, again at 11pm CT, in another game that they should win. We’ll have coverage of that later on. Kalen DeBoer and Kane Wommack were asked about how […]
The 8th ranked Crimson Tide bounced back from their disappointing loss to Gonzaga to bounce the UNLV Rebels by a score of 115-76. The Tide had six players in double digits in running the home standing UNLV out of the gym. Bama improved to 4-2 while the Rebels fell to 3-4 in the young season. […]
Last weekend was one devoid of many upsets, so there wasn’t much change, and Alabama held serve at #10. In fact, the only thing that did change was Ole Miss and Oregon swapping spots. 1. Ohio State2. Indiana3. Texas A&M4. Georgia5. Texas Tech6. Oregon7. Ole Miss8. Oklahoma9. Notre Dame10. Alabama11. BYU12. Miami Now maybe the […]
Last night was a bit of a mixed bag for Alabama (3-2), as the 8th-ranked Crimson Tide showed a lot of fight in some areas, but fell completely flat in others in a 95-85 loss to the undefeated and twelfth-ranked Gonzaga Bulldogs on the opening day of the Players Era Festival. Labaron Philon put on […]
The 8th ranked Alabama Crimson Tide fell to 12th ranked Gonzaga 95-85 in their opening game of the Player Era Festival at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Alabama fell to 3-2 on the season while the Bulldogs improved to 6-0. The game started at 8:30 p.m. CT on TNT. The Tide will play […]
It was Cupcake Saturday. For many SEC teams that meant playing FCS or non-Power FBS teams. For the Big Ten and Notre Dame, it meant business as usual. A LITTLE SOMETHING TO ESS-EE-SEE HERE Texas 52 Arkansas 37 – Arch Manning passed for four touchdowns, ran for one and caught another. No turnovers or sacks […]
As usual, we got our round up of interviews from the Alabama coaching staff at the start of the game week. Ryan Grubb “There’s a lot of factors that go into it. I did it a few times at Fresno. Some of it has to do with comfort level with two parts. Number one, the […]
Alabama rolled into Las Vegas tonight ready to face an excellent Gonzaga squad, and things didn’t go so well as the Zags pulled away late for a 95-85 victory. We got some tough injury news before the game, as Latrell Wrightsell Jr. was ruled out for the Players’ Era tournament with a right leg ailment. […]
Guess who’s back? Back again. BB4’s back, tell a friend. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in! Or whichever reference you prefer. Bottom line is this – the Bama Basketball Breakdown is back! At least for the remainder of this season. I’m sure everyone is aware of Erik’s departure from […]
Happy Monday, everyone. OK, yeah there is a football game on Saturday, but Alabama basketball plays Gonzaga tonight in Vegas. We’ll be along with more coverage later, but these guys will be watching. Planting themselves in the mix of the chaos of crimson are 11 men, all but one aged 50 or older. You can […]
With only one week left in the regular season, we all know where the teams stand. Texas A&M is undefeated and in sole possession of first place, while Alabama, Georgia, and Ole Miss are all tied up with one conference loss each. Georgia plays out-of-conference Georgia Tech this week, so that game doesn’t matter in […]
It is so poetic that Alabama’s College Football hopes comes down to the Iron Bowl. The CFP rankings severely and unjustifiably punished the Crimson Tide for a two point defeat against the team that they deemed to be the nation’s eighth best team. A win over Auburn gets Bama into the SEC Championship Game and […]
Yeah, I do have some nuanced feelings on these “cupcake” games. It would be great to live in a world when polls and the College Football Playoff Committee actually did respect strength of schedule, then reward big wins in a way to actually encourage more meaningful inter-P4-conference games (and just more interesting football in general). […]
Alabama had a paycheck game today in Tuscaloosa against a pitiful Eastern Illinois squad, and the game was about as competitive as one would expect. We got some bad news before the game that standout TE Josh Cuevas suffered a foot injury in practice and will likely miss the rest of the regular season. Kalen […]
It wasn’t the prettiest of first halves for the Tide, but they made it to halftime with a 28-0 lead. The Alabama defense was nearly perfect, absolutely stymieing the overmatched Panthers for -1 total rushing yards and 13 passing yards, plus the special teams got a punt block. The Alabama offense was given a couple […]
GAME 11: Saturday, November 22, 2025 – SENIOR DAY Alabama Crimson Tide (8-2) at Eastern Illinois Panthers (3-8) Tuscaloosa, AL ~ 1pm/2pm ESPN+ *** Please NO embedded Tweets, jpgs, gifs, etc. We ask these things because it slows down load times. *** ROLL TIDE!
For whatever reason, much of the SEC has always loved using this penultimate week of the season for a final warm-up game. Alabama is playing Eastern Illinois, Auburn is playing Mercer, and Georgia is playing Furman. The Tide kicks off at 1:00 CT, and there’s at least a couple of games, like Mizzou-Okie to keep […]
It has become crystal clear that College Football Playoff (CFP) Committee is full of bias, ulterior motives, and buffoons with baffling standards of evaluation. Alabama must win their next two games but sadly, they will need help from others to help their standings. Thus, we have the Alabama Crimson Tide Football Rooting Guide. We will […]
Happy Friday, everyone. There isn’t much point in previewing the mismatch that will take place tomorrow afternoon. There are many good reasons for these games to be played, but they’re still somewhat cringey to watch. In any case, your time and TV info is linked here: Alabama football’s last game at Bryant-Denny Stadium in the 2025 […]
Don’t tell Nick Saban this, but I am personally overlooking this game a bit for the preview this week. The Eastern Illinois Panthers are 3-8 overall in the year as an FCS squad in the OVC-Big South conference. The Panthers, for what its worth, has put a couple of QBs into the NFL with Tony […]
Happy Thursday, everyone. Alabama basketball notched a huge win last night over Illinois. Nate Oats was pleased with the effort, and Keitenn Bristow was a big part of it. “Keitenn’s made a huge difference. I mean, he played less than 20 minutes. He’s still not in great shape. You can see, he had to ask […]
The 11th ranked Alabama Crimson Tide traveled to Chicago to play 8th ranked Illinois on Wednesday night. The Tide rose to the occasion and took down the Fighting Illini 90-86 in a hard fought game. Alabama has now taken down 5th ranked St Johns in Madison Square Garden and the 8th ranked team in the […]
Alabama rolled into Chicago tonight to face Illinois and walked out victorious, winning by a score of 90-86. This was an entertaining game from the opening tip. Illinois flexed its muscle in the paint early and got a hot start from Andrej Stojakovic to jump out to a seven point lead at 19-12, but Alabama […]
