Bama Basketball Breakdown: UNLV
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 […]

Random Thoughts Week 13: Nothing To Ess-Ee-See Here
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 […]
Jumbo Package: Will Alabama’s Ryan Grubb continue to coach from the sidelines?
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 […]
Postgame Thread: Alabama falls to Gonzaga
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. […]
Bama Basketball Breakdown: #12 Gonzaga
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 […]
Jumbo Package: Alabama prepares for critical Iron Bowl
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.

Alabama Football 2025: SEC Tiebreakers explained
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 […]
2025 Alabama Crimson Tide vs Auburn Tigers Opening Odds: Cover or Not?
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 […]
7 “some brief fun” charts from the Eastern Illinois blowout
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). […]
Victory/Late Shift Open Thread
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 […]
Alabama Football 2025 vs Eastern Illinois: Second Half Discussion Thread
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 […]

Wake Up!Week 13 College Football television schedule, viewing guide, and unwatchable filth
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 […]
Alabama Crimson Tide Football Rooting Guide for Week 13
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 […]
Jumbo Package: Does Penn State have a chance to pull Kalen DeBoer from Alabama?
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 […]
Alabama Football vs. Eastern Illinois Preview
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 […]
Jumbo Package: Parker Brailsford questionable for Eastern Illinois
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 […]

Victory Thread: Tide gets big road win at 8th-ranked Illinois
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.

Gump Day: Alabama ranked 10th by CFP committee
Happy Gump Day, everyone. Since it’s Gump Day, we’re first going to talk about how Alabama is about to finish the season by blowing the doors off of Auburn and Georgia and earn a bye on the way to the national championship.
