The Champagne of 'Bama Blogs
Well, Alabama survived a first half in Lee County, managing to make it to halftime with a 17-6 lead. The Tide settled for a field goal on the second drive after a facemask penalty got them into good field position, then put together two of their better offensive drives of the season to go up […]
GAME 12: Saturday, November 29, 2025 – IRON BOWL Alabama Crimson Tide (9-2) at Auburn Tigers (5-6) Auburn, AL ~ 6:30/7:30 ABC *** Please NO embedded Tweets, jpgs, gifs, etc. We ask these things because it slows down load times. *** ROLL TIDE!
Rivalry week is upon us, and the college football regular season draws to a close today with a bang. With some games like the Egg Bowl, Texas-Texas A&M, and Georgia-GT already behind us, the day isn’t as totally cram-packed as it is some years. Still there’s a lot of good ones happening that have plenty […]
With only one day left until our favorite end-of-year slugfest, the Iron Bowl, friend of the blog Ryan Sterritt returns for yet another year to give his mostly unfiltered opinions on all things Auburn Football. 1. You were one of the first and most vocal detractors of the Hugh Freeze hire, and I remember your […]
Happy Friday, everyone. There is Rivalry Week football on all day for you today, and this post will serve as your open thread for those. The SEC action will be the most compelling, starting with the Egg Bowl which I guess is appropriately named given the breakfast kickoff this season. All three of those have […]
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We all have much to be thankful for and I hope that each of you has a wonderful day, preferably with loved ones. Alabama basketball closed out the Players’ Era Invitational in fine fashion after dropping the opener, and will next face Clemson on Wednesday. There isn’t a ton of college football […]
For as much as Auburn’s offense has been a trainwreck for most of the year, their defense has generally been one of the better units in the SEC (they had an argument to be considered the best until Vanderbilt hung 45 on them a couple of weeks ago). Defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin (aka DJDKAK) has […]
The Alabama Crimson Tide took down the Maryland Terrapins on Wednesday night/Thursday by score of 105-72 to improve to 5-2 on the season. Maryland fell to 5-3. The Tide finished 2-1 at Players Era Festival, losing to Gonzaga before beating UNLV and Maryland. Alabama had seven players in double figures and an eighth player that […]
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 […]
