It is getting down to crunch time in the chase for the 2025 Big Beer Tap Trophy. For the Crimson Tide, it is only a matter of taking care of business. But it could not hurt to have some other teams falter this weekend for various reason. Some help Alabama. Some help the SEC. And […]

Happy Gump Day, one and all. Let’s dive into the Foosball this morning. It’s of the Debil. Better than morning coffee. The Alabama Crimson Tide checked in last night at No. 4 in the CFP rankings, mirroring its placement in both the AP and Coach’s polls. We had some words to say about that, and […]

Without much elaboration, Oklahoma’s offense was an abject disaster a year ago. The offensive coordinator was fired mid-season, and the starting QB, Jackson Arnold, transferred to Auburn only to get benched there, of all places. They were 97th in the league in scoring, only breaking 20 points against P4 opponents 4 times (and one of […]

But, they really would rather you call them the College Football Playoff Committee. What happened this week? Let’s take a look at the “Top 25” — and those inverted commas are doing a lot of lifting.

Happy Monday, everyone. Go back fifteen years or so and it would be tough to imagine Alabama fans being frustrated after beating LSU by 11 points.
