A NOTE BEFORE WE BEGIN: Zach informed us he would be unavailable Saturday night and I said I could handle the postgame recap. I completely dropped the ball and forgot to do it! So here, two nights later, is a recap. You wanted the recap written in a timely fashion? Well maybe you’re just spoiled. […]
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. It’s a different era though, and this is where we are. Issues with the running game and deep ball continue to dominate the conversation. “We’ve got to do a […]
Week 11 had some upsets, mostly in the ACC with Virginia and Louisville losing at home. It would have been a crazy week if Indiana and Oregon lost on the road in their conference matchups, but they both pulled out last-minute wins. In the SEC, Alabama, Texas A&M, and Vanderbilt all picked up big conference […]
The initial College Football Playoff rankings were released this week and the opening 12 teams in the bracket are #1 Ohio State, #2 Indiana, #3 Texas A&M, #4 Alabama, #5 Georgia, #6 Ole Miss, #7 BYU, #8 Texas Tech, #9 Oregon, #10 Notre Dame, #11 Virginia, #12 Memphis. The selection committee will update this opening […]
For what I believe is our 8th straight year, Zach Junda from And The Valley Shook joins us once again to give his honest and often “negatiger” opinions about the LSU football team. And boy, with the Tigers firing Brian Kelly just a week ago and the whole program in turmoil, we had some great […]
Happy Friday, everyone. It’s LSU week, but this year doesn’t have quite the same buzz as usual after the firing of Brian Kelly. Your previews: Alabama might be fourth in the College Football Playoff rankings, but to keep hammering this home – Florida State, Georgia, South Carolina, Missouri. Obviously, the FSU game was a loss, […]
Two years ago, LSU sported one of the worst defenses that I’ve seen in my lifetime, and the Tigers axed their defensive coordinator and brought in Blake Baker from Missouri, who helped stabilize things a bit. They improved to a middle-of-the-road average as a unit that had some decent pass defense chops while struggling against […]
The first College Football Playoff poll of the 2025 season is out!
Unsurprisingly, Ohio State, Indiana, and Texas A&M lead the way in the CFP odds following the release of the first set of rankings. How did the new poll affect the rest of the contenders? How far did Miami fall after a disappointing ranking?
Let’s look at the latest CFP odds as the first official batch of rankings is out.

#Ranking season is finally upon us, and Alabama placed 4th in the first CFP bracket of the year. The top 4 were about as chalk as you could possibly expect. Ohio State was the easy #1 team, as they’ve obliterated everyone they’ve played. Indiana and Texas A&M were fairly interchangeable at 2 and 3. The […]
The first College Football Playoff rankings were released Tuesday night and IU football is No. 2. The initial top 12: 1. Ohio State; 2. Indiana; 3. Texas A&M; 4. Alabama; 5. Georgia; 6. Ole Miss; 7. BYU; 8. Texas Tech; ...

With the bye week over, Alabama is headed right into LSU week, and we have our regular programming with the coaching staff press conferences back. Ryan Grubb On issues with the running game: “It’s all. It’s not one thing. Whatever it is, whether it’s pass protection, run blocking, all those things work together. For us, […]
With some of the top teams off (Alabama, Texas A&M, Oregon) and others playing conference doormats (Penn State-Ohio State, Indiana-Maryland) as per usual, the SEC took center stage. It was much better entertainment than watching the Dodgers’ “bought” World Series win. One shlock-fest in particular caught some eyes for the car crash that it was: […]
Happy Monday, everyone. The most important news of the day: It’s officially basketball season! Nate Oats and company will tip off the season tonight against North Dakota. When is Alabama basketball vs North Dakota? Date: Monday, Nov. 3 Start time: 7 p.m. CT Alabama and North Dakota will tip off at 7 p.m. CT on Monday, marking […]
Vanderbilt survived its first true scare of 2025. Yes, they lost to Alabama, but I think all of us had that circled as a likely loss as revenge for last year even if you expected Vanderbilt to be 7-1 at this point. If you did, I need proof then I will fully congratulate you on […]
October is in the books. Texas A&M is still unbeaten and the team to beat, Alabama survived their closest conference shave yet, and three teams at the bottom are still looking for their first league win. The SEC championship spots are still up for grabs, though A&M and the Tide can also just win out […]
Greetings, BBN! Texas A&M rolled past LSU in what turned out to be Brian Kelly’s last game in Baton Rouge, Alabama survived a scare from South Carolina on the road, Ole Miss bested Oklahoma in Norman in a battle of 6-1 records, Vandy did the same hosting 6-1 Mizzou, Texas survived Mississippi State in their […]
Happy Monday, everyone. Alabama remains 4th in the polls following their win over South Carolina as all three teams ranked above them held serve. One of those teams is Texas A&M, which somehow blew out LSU in Baton Rouge despite the game being played at night. LSU coach Brian Kelly’s tenure did not survive. Kelly’s […]
With Alabama’s second bye week upon us, it’s time to take stock nationally. We have more than enough data at this point in the season. Conference standings are shaking out. And there is a queue beginning to form for the national title. We seem to say this every year, but in 2025, it really is […]
Week 9 was not nearly as wild as previous Saturdays this season. The top ten remains the same, just in a slightly different order. Alabama, Ole Miss, Vanderbilt, and Virginia all pulled out close wins on the road. Miami fell one spot after its blowout of Stanford. One of the Canes’ best wins, USF, blew […]
Give South Carolina credit. I had wondered coming into the game how much juice they’d have left, having lost two straight and four overall. There isn’t much left for them to play for other than pride, but they showed some last night and had Alabama squarely on the ropes. It was their Homecoming game so […]
This team, ostensibly the fourth-best in all of college football and a national title contender, absolutely refuses to make things easy on themselves, particularly when the task is objectively an easier one. Alabama went to Columbia to play the least talented team it has faced since Wisconsin, in its easiest task of the last two […]
It was a generally bad start for Alabama, as the defense gave up plenty of yards and conversions to a dreadful South Carolina offense while the Tide offense was completely anemic. However, a DaShawn Jones pick 6 off of a bobbled screen pass put the Tide in front by 7 points early, and the USC […]

Just over halfway through the 2025 football season, we’re seeing one of the weirdest, wildest seasons since the fabled days of 2007. Florida State beat Alabama in week one before then imploding like rebar-less concrete. Vanderbilt is ranked in the top 10 with a possible Heisman candidate at quarterback. Indiana is the second-ranked team in […]
Happy Friday, everyone. Alabama plays at South Carolina tomorrow. I don’t know what went down at practice yesterday, but three new names were added to the injury report. Alabama freshman wide receiver Lotzeir Brooks is now doubtful to play against the Gamecocks. Brooks is fourth on the team with 255 yards receiving. Geno VanDeMark, who leads the team […]
