12 “thanks, Defense” graphs from the win over LSU
Maybe not as bad as it looked At this point in the season, you just have to take the wins wherever you find them. With this victory, we really increase the likelihood that Alabama finishes a good season well and gets to play for the next step, including potentially an SEC championship game and, hopefully, […]
Initial Impressions from the LSU game
LSU came to Tuscaloosa last night looking to salvage some pride from what has been a disappointing season. They held nothing back, from hyper-aggressiveness on the defensive side to benching starting QB Garrett Nussmeier in the second half to try and find a spark. They brought the fight and made life quite difficult for Alabama, […]
Victory Thread: Alabama wins a slog over LSU
Alabama hosted a LSU team in its first action after firing head coach Brian Kelly, and won the game in ugly fashion by a 20-9 score. It was evident from the jump that this one wouldn’t be easy. Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but Alabama couldn’t get anything going on the ground and […]
Alabama Football vs LSU Second Half Open Thread
Despite some early struggles and putrid offense, Alabama wound up walking into halftime with a resounding 17-3 lead. The Tide opened the game with a turnover on downs with 4 straight run plays, then the defense allowed LSU to drive down the field, but ultimately held them to a missed field goal. Alabama punted after […]

Alabama Basketball knocks off 5th-ranked St. John’s at MSG
Nate Oats took his Alabama squad to New York City today, to face 5th-ranked St. John’s in a heavyweight battle at basketball mecca Madison Square Garden. It lived up to the billing, as both teams played with March-like intensity for the full 40 minutes, and in the end Alabama prevailed by a score of 103-96. […]
WAKE UP! Week 11 College Football television schedule, viewing guide, and unwatchable filth
The No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide, fresh off their much-needed bye, enter the Amen corner of the schedule, with games against LSU, Auburn, and Oklahoma in the stretch run. And, in many ways, it will be the most challenging, as all three are defensive-minded, with the Barn and Sooners being fully elite on that side […]
Xs and Oats: No. 5 St. John’s is as daunting a road opener as you will find
The No. 15 Alabama Crimson Tide have played just one game — a paycheck beating of the North Dakota Fighting Hawks in the Mausoleum. But, it was not exactly a thing of aesthetic beauty. The Tide, playing with0ut Keitenn Bristow and 75% of its backcourt (including its best perimeter shooters), did manage to cobble together […]
Alabama Football 2025 vs LSU Preview: Q&A with And The Valley Shook
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 […]
Jumbo Package: Alabama football vs LSU previews and predictions
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, […]
Alabama Football 2025 vs. LSU: Previewing the Tigers’ Defense
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 […]
Jumbo Package: Kalen DeBoer talks injuries ahead of LSU
Happy Thursday, everyone. Alabama released the initial injury report for LSU. In Alabama football’s first SEC availability report ahead of its meeting against LSU, wide receiver Ryan Williams is back on the list. The Crimson Tide sophomore wide receiver is listed as probable. He missed Alabama‘s win against Louisiana Monroe in Week 2 with a concussion. Alabama tight […]
Happy Gump Day: Help is coming on the offensive line?
Happy Gump Day, one and all. It’s a very big weekend for the Crimson Tide: The No. 4 Alabama football team hosts the 5-3 LSU Tigers. Don’t sleep on them either. Despite the trio of SEC losses, they were all to teams ranked inside the Top 10, and LSU even held the halftime lead against […]
Alabama Football 2025 vs. LSU: Previewing the Tigers’ Offense
The LSU offense is an interesting one to preview this year. To this point, they’re only scoring 25.5 points per game, and that ultimately got Brian Kelly fired (and OC Joe Sloan was given the can a couple hours later). It’s not been good by any stretch, and there’s been a lot of issues… but […]
Alabama Football Places 4th in the opening CFP Playoff Rankings
#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 […]
Giving Away Money: LSU-Alabama game analysis and point spread pick
Conventional wisdom has it that after a coach is fired, the team goes into doldrums, plays worse, begins looking for their next destination; you face a dispirited lot. Like so much conventional wisdom, it happens to be wrong. I analyze every game, for every team, every week, and have done so for 13 years now. […]
Jumbo Package: Will Alabama fix the run game in the second half of the season?
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, […]
Random Thoughts Week 10: SEC Drama Rules a “Slow” Weekend
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: […]
Tide Takes Down North Dakota 92-61
The Alabama Crimson Tide basketball team opened their season with a 92-61 victory over North Dakota on Monday night. The Tide was playing short handed with four players that will be looked on to play big minutes out with injuries. Aden Holloway was held out with a wrist injury, Latrell Wrightsell had a bad finger, […]
Victory Thread: Alabama basketball coasts vs North Dakota
Alabama hosted the North Dakota Fighting Hawks at Coleman Coliseum tonight and took care of business, blowing out the visitors by a score of 91-62. In general, the Tide did what they were supposed to do against an overmatched foe. The game was never in doubt past the first few minutes of action, and the […]
Xs and Oats: No. 15 Alabama opens season against the UND Hawks — without Treysen Eaglestaff this time
Last year, in a Patrick Murphy-esque move to get Grant Nelson a game in front of his family and friends, the No. 6 Alabama Crimson Tide traveled to Bismarck to face the lightly regarded North Dakota Fighting Hawks (“Sioux” was always a better mascot, but unlike many tribes and states who collaborated to borrow tribal […]

Jumbo Package: LSU is a political dumpster fire
Happy Friday, everyone. Not a ton of news out there on this bye week Friday, but we’ll bring you what we have. The LSU coaching search is going to be a spectacular dumpster fire, led by a yet to be named Athletic Director who will apparently be hired by the governor, who is currently acting […]
Giving Away Money: Week 10 picks against the spread to enhance your filthy lucre
Week 9: 5-12025: 33-14Mortal Lock: 7-2 Weekly Post-Mortem Time for receipts from last week, which was quite awesome in what has been a great year excepting two weeks (and, if you got in late on Boise State at -21, you at least salvaged a push.
