The Aggies, under first year coach Bucky McMillian, have taken the SEC by surprise, and […]
Alabama and Texas A&M faced off in a much anticipated matchup tonight, and the Tide prevailed 100-97. This one was played at a breakneck pace from the beginning. Alabama started off hot and led by as much as nine early, but the Aggies battled back and tied things up at 46 headed into the locker […]
The now unranked Alabama Crimson Tide return home looking to bounce back from an ugly performance this past Sunday in Gainesville. Meeting them in Tuscaloosa will be the SEC-leading Texas A&M Aggies and first year head coach, Bucky McMillan – the pride of Mountain Brook, AL. The Aggies have been the big surprise of the […]
I’ve been preaching patience with this year’s Tide Hoops team for some time now; but I totally understand if any of you have run out of it. I hate to say it, but when this team gets hit with real adversity, they fold in pretty fantastic fashion. Sunday’s spotlight showdown with the Florida Gators went […]
[SORRY, COMMENTS WERE TURNED OFF FOR SOME REASON. #REFUNDS FORTHCOMING] Gather ‘round young chil’ren and let me tell you about the time when the February National Signing Day was a wild and wacky day of commitment flips, hat switcheroo press conferences, and grown-ass men biting their nails off over the college choice of teenagers.

Happy Gump Day, everyone. Unranked Alabama basketball takes on Texas A&M tonight. We’ll have coverage of that one later.

Before the season started, I posted a list of stats making predictions on how Alabama’s season would go.

Without further ado, let’s see how I did: Team Rushing yards My prediction: 2170 Actual results: […]
Happy Monday, everyone. It was a rough weekend on the hardwood, as the Alabama women followed up the men’s debacle in Gainesville with a 40-point loss of their own in Baton Rouge. Both squads allowed 100 points this weekend. Oh, well. At least the Gym Tide showed out. The No. 3 Alabama gymnastics team (3-1) […]
Things were set up for the Tide to show the nation what they had. A rare Sunday game at noon CT on ABC against Florida, with no football on. The 23rd ranked Tide, that will no longer be rated when the next poll comes out, had no answer for the Gators size, speed, and extremely […]
A month ago, we issued an article giving all of you a chance to show your football predictive chops with the CFP Bracket. And lest you think we don’t own up to our own bad takes around here, we’re also checking the proof now that the dust has settled and Indiana is the reigning national […]
Nate Oats took his squad down to Gainesville today, and they embarrassed themselves in a national spotlight game on ABC. This one was quite the battle early on.

Happy Thursday, everyone. Kalen DeBoer spoke to reporters at the Senior Bowl.

It is Year 30 for Alabama softball and hope springs eternal. Whatever your feelings are for the state of the program, it is still a “blue blood” of college softball. Even with only one National Championship, opposing teams still have their “Super Bowl” when playing the Crimson Tide. Rhoads Stadium is still one of the […]
