Alabama Softball Ekes/Sweeps by South Carolina
It wasn’t pretty, but Bama completed a much-needed sweep of the FemCocks. GAME 1: ALABAMA 3, SOUTH CAROLINA 2 There was no change to the lineup and predictably Jocelyn Briski got the start in the circle. She wasn’t bad, but she also was not as sharp as she has been. SC got on the scoreboard […]
Jumbo Package: Kirby Smart, Pete Golding reminisce about Saban era
Happy Friday, everyone. It’s graduation season, and 114 student athletes will be awarded degrees. Three UA athletes were named College Sports Communicators Academic All-Americans during their career as Emily Jones (women’s swim) won the honor twice and Rachel Rybicki (gymnastics) and Tim Korstanje (men’s swim) earned the honor once Korstanje earned an NCAA postgraduate scholarship Jones and Karly Weathers (women’s basketball) was recognized […]
Alabama Softball Hosts South Carolina with Much on the Line
The Lollipop Rainbow Unicorn chasers think the last two Bama games are no big deal. They also think that that Gamecocks will be no trouble. I hate to break it to them but the Tide needs to regroup because SC is playing pretty well lately and NCAA seedings are on the line. ACCOLADES RAT POISON […]
Jumbo Package: Nick Saban speaks on odds he’ll return to coaching
Happy Thursday, everyone. Both Kalen DeBoer and Nick Saban participated in yesterday’s Regions Tradition Celebrity Pro-Am golf tournament. DeBoer spoke briefly about the QB competition. “They know that a year ago there was so much improvement by all of them, and I think that was, even with Ty (Simpson), going from the spring to the […]
Jumbo Package: NCAA Tournament set to expand
Happy Gump Day, everyone. Kalen DeBoer appeared at an alumni dinner in Huntsville last night and briefly spoke to reporters about his contract extension. DeBoer said the new deal is a signal of where the program his heading, strengthened by a belief from the university. He also called 2026 another important year as he enters […]
Jumbo Package: Alabama Football could very well have the best secondary in the country
“It was definitely tough,” Proctor said. “I ain’t going to lie. When I was younger, it was, I wouldn’t say it was like bullying or anything like that, but, you know, I was always the bigger, chunkier kid, so everybody’s going to try to laugh and make fun of you. But it’s all right. You […]
After a Run Rule Win, Alabama Softball Drops Two to Tennessee
This series was reminiscent of the Alabama-Texas series — but in a bad way. GAME 1: ALABAMA 12, TENNESSEE 0 (5 innings, run rule) The Crimson Tide players came out guns a-blazing and looked like they would sweep the series. Brooke Wells got things going when she smacked her 20th homer of the season on […]
Jumbo Package: Another successful NFL Draft for Alabama
Happy Monday, everyone. Baseball dropped two of three in Knoxville over the weekend, while softball plays the rubber game of the series today. Tennessee appears to have exactly one pitcher, as Alabama was shut out in game two after run ruling the Vols with 12 runs in the opener. It was another successful NFL Draft […]
Alabama Football: 2026 NFL Draft Recap and UDFA Open Thread
Well that’s a wrap! Despite all of the hand-wringing, Alabama finished with 10 total players drafted, behind only Ohio State (11) for the most in college football. On top of that, the Tide was the only SEC school with multiple first round draft picks. If you missed any of them, here is the recap: Round […]
2026 NFL Draft: Alabama’s Domani Jackson drafted in the 6th Round by the Green Bay Packers
The Packers might very well have gotten the steal of day 3 with Domani Jackson. Once a top-five recruit, Jackson initially went to USC where he started and played admirably on one of the more dysfunctional defenses in the country. In 2024, he transferred to Alabama and immediately became a starter. He was downright excellent […]
2026 NFL Draft: Alabama’s Jam Miller drafted in the 7th Round by the New England Patriots
Jam Miller is headed to Massachusetts! The Alabama running back didn’t have the senior season many expected from the former high end recruit. He was injured on and off for most of the season, and the Tide’s run game was mostly nonexistent due to some combination of blocking, playcalling, and RB play. Still, Jam showed […]
2026 NFL Draft: Alabama’s Tim Keenan drafted in the 7th Round by the Los Angeles Rams
Tim Keenan has been a stalwart leader for the Crimson Tide for a few years now, and I expected he would be drafted higher than the 7th round for his leadership, energy, and surprising disruptiveness for a nose tackle his size. Unfortunately, a lack of love for pure nose tackles, combined with a poor 40-yard […]
Alabama Wins Game One, Then Falls Apart
The 13th ranked Crimson Tide went to Knoxville to take on the Tennessee Volunteers in a Thursday- Saturday scheduled series. Because of the threat of rain the series was truncated to a single game Thursday and a Friday doubleheader. Alabama won game one 12-8 before falling apart on Friday and losing 10-0 and 11-4. The […]
2026 NFL Draft: Alabama’s Josh Cuevas drafted in the 5th Round by the Baltimore Ravens
In a somewhat surprising move, TE Josh Cuevas came off the board in the 5th round to the Baltimore Ravens. He’s a guys that’s been quite productive for Alabama this season after transferring in from Washington, but has overall been a guy that wasn’t talked about much outside of Alabama circles. He consistently displayed reliable […]
Top ranked 2027 QB prospect commits to Alabama
Kalen DeBoer and company got some massive news today when Elijah Haven, the top ranked QB prospect in the 2027 class, committed to Alabama over Georgia. The Baton Rouge native is a physical specimen at 6’5” and 215 lb. with plenty of arm and athleticism. And, his record speaks for itself. In three seasons, Haven […]
2026 NFL Draft: Alabama’s Justin Jefferson drafted in the 5th Round by the Cleveland Browns
The Browns must have really liked Tuscaloosa. Only a few picks after taking Parker Brailsford, the Browns turned around and nabbed linebacker Justin Jefferson. The veteran was granted an extra year of eligibility last year due to some JUCO rulings, and he turned it into a very productive season for the Tide at linebacker. Jefferson […]
2026 NFL Draft: Alabama’s Parker Brailsford drafted in the 5th Round by the Cleveland Browns
Center Parker Brailsford is headed to Cleveland after hearing his name called at the top of the 5th round. The multi-year stalwart broke out in 2023 as Washington’s starting center, then transferred to Alabama and was nothing short of consistently good and a stabilizing presence for the Tide for the last two seasons. The knock […]
Alabama Softball Travels to Tennessee For Top 10 Showdown
It’s not the Third Saturday in October, but the hype might be just as big. TUESDAY: ALABAMA 6, UAB 0 The Crimson Tide won the game but it wasn’t exactly the blowout that might have been expected. In the 2nd inning, Jena Young scored on a Salen Hawkins sac fly. Lauren Johnson led off the […]
2026 NFL Draft: Alabama’s LT Overton drafted in the 4th Round by the Dallas Cowboys
LT Overton has been selected by the Dallas Cowboys at the back end of the 4th round. Overton was originally a top-ten recruit that went to Texas A&M and bounced around positions. After transferring to Alabama for the 2024 season, Overton moved permanently to the defensive end spot and could move inside on passing downs […]
2026 NFL Draft: Day Three Discussion Thread for Alabama fans
After two days, Alabama had three players selected in the top 50: Kadyn Proctor, Ty Simpson, and Germie Bernard. after that, though, things cooled down, and the Tide had nobody selected in the rest of the third round. Today, the draft goes through the final frenzy of round 4-7 all in a row. The draft […]
2026 NFL Draft: Alabama’s Germie Bernard drafted 47th overall by the Pittsburgh Steelers
It didn’t take too long for the Alabama wide receiver to hear his name called in the NFL draft. After starting his career at Michigan State, Bernard transferred to Washington to play with Coach DeBoer, then followed him to Alabama. Bernard was the Tide’s top receiving target in 2024 and 2025, emerging as a reliable […]
2026 NFL Draft: Day Two Discussion Thread for Alabama fans
Last night, the Crimson Tide led the SEC with two first round draft picks as OT Kadyn Proctor went 12th overall to the Miami Dolphins and QB Ty Simpson went right behind him at 13th to the L.A. Rams. It was the Tide’s 18th straight draft with a first round pick, and their 10th straight […]
Jumbo Package: Ty Simpson, Kadyn Proctor extend Alabama streak
Happy Friday, everyone. Both baseball and softball are in Knoxville this weekend. Baseball started off their series well, beating Tennessee 12-8 last night. The ladies have a three game series against the 8th-ranked Vols starting tomorrow. We will have additional coverage of that later. Both Ty Simpson and Kadyn Proctor went in the first round […]
2026 NFL Draft: Alabama’s Ty Simpson drafted 13th overall by the Los Angeles Rams
It’s been a wild ride for Ty Simpson. A former 5-star QB, Simpson sat behind #1 overall pick Bryce Young before losing in a QB battle to Jalen Milroe, winding up on the sidelines for four years. Most QBs in today’s era would have transferred, but Simpson stayed at Alabama, and when he finally got […]
2026 NFL Draft: Alabama’s Kadyn Proctor drafted 12th overall by the Miami Dolphins
A few short years ago, Kadyn Proctor was a 5-star prospect who was coming in and winning the starting left tackle job for Nick Saban at Alabama at the start of his true freshman season. It was a tough year for the jumbo freshman, but one that he built on as he cut his pressures […]
