    Did Y'all Enjoy Alabama's Recent Snow Storm

    Overall, my kids had fun with the snow and staying at home. However, I work from home, so there was no significant taking time off for me.

    Did Y'all Enjoy Alabama's Recent Snow Storm

    The state may want to start getting more equipped - it's snowed here almost every year since I moved to Alabama in 2006.

    After 13 games we're 9-4. Let's revisit our thoughts and outlook on Coach Kalen DeBoer

    I can't make heads/tails of it. Props to JM and the offensive staff for doing so, even including UGA being able to slow down JM for most of the 2nd half. As for Vandy, maybe that was more of the defense's fault than the offense. UT - we all seen the cut ups of JM missing wide open WRs. OU -...

    After 13 games we're 9-4. Let's revisit our thoughts and outlook on Coach Kalen DeBoer

    Strangely, the final record was not surprising to me - I felt the team would go as far as Milroe could take them, and given his up/downs in CNS' last season, I wasn't confident that Milroe would stabilize and improve on the times he was down. Now, losing to Vandy and OU the way they did was...

    Video: Pate on Bama's future under DeBoer

    Because I don't have any connections to the program, I hope his theory of CKD letting the chips fall where they fell due to Milroe is accurate. I'm disappointed with how the season ended, but in some ways, I wasn't entirely surprised. Pate ware spot on about some of the issues being around...

    Post season thoughts

    If I was expanding the playoff beyond 4 teams, I would've only done 8. Regardless of if Alabama et al. should've been included over the ones that got in, the 3+ week break for the autobids and the way the seeds were placed in the bracket were awful. As a neutral, I didn't watch any of the...

    JessN: Potential transfer portal targets as Bama remakes its roster

    I think there was a post on another Alabama website that highlighted other SEC teams that have had a ton of outgoings, and not a ton incoming - UGA, OU, LSU were mentioned. It's not limited to Alabama, if that's what you're worried about. It's also trended that way since portal was originally...

    LANK/NIL...

    I think this sums up my experience as a fan as well. I'm 40 (still trying to be "A MAN"). Whether it's time/distance from my college time at Alabama, or having more immediate needs from my wife and sons, I just have time to follow sports teams that I follow - Alabama included. There's been many...

    JessN: A Look Ahead to 2025 Roster Moves :: ADDED - 2024-2025 Portal Tracker

    I'm more interested in the downstream effects of the Settlement on the final player numbers. I think it'll create an effect like basketball - teams will not be able to hold/buy all of the good players all the time. It should force players to start thinking more like adults when deciding if...

    Officiating Question

    I think in the college and pro sports (at least ones that are constantly moving or almost-always constantly) need more refs on the field of play - the athletes are getting much faster than the refs to be able to keep up.

    JessN: Auburn wrap-up: Bama saves some of its best for last

    It didn't dawn on me until after the game was over, but I started my Alabama fandom in Fall 2006, when I transferred to Alabama, and Auburn won their 5th straight IB that season. Now, nearly 20 years later, Alabama has now won 5 straight in this series.

    After 13 games we're 9-4. Let's revisit our thoughts and outlook on Coach Kalen DeBoer

    I get excited to think about what CKD and his staff can do with players that fit better in his system, especially at QB. But overall, I've been pleasantly surprised to see the following this season: 1) Scoring early on in big games - Typically (not all the time), CNS' teams seemed to warm up...

    After 13 games we're 9-4. Let's revisit our thoughts and outlook on Coach Kalen DeBoer

    I ran XC/Track at Alabama; my first season was Fall 2006, Shula's last year and the start of Saban's tenure. I remember Bryant Hall being kind of empty of most football players that fall semester for study hall hours. The first day of study hall hours after Saban was hired, Bryant Hall had to...

    BREAKING Bama drops to #8 in the AP Basketball poll

    This is the standard fluctuation for early season basketball rankings, especially given Alabama's early OOC schedule. Hopefully Oats can help the team learn from its loss(es) that it will turn into a team to be reckoned with in February and March.

    JessN: Mercer Game Preview: Bama gets a quality FCS opponent; can Tide keep its focus?

    If you have Hulu Live, there should be a ESPN+/SEC+ channel on Saturday. It'll have the Alabama-Mercer game in the time slot of the game.

    JessN: LSU wrap-up: Bama makes physical statement in suffocating win over Tigers

    @JessN - How much of Alabama's success on offense is tied to a lack of star power from LSU's edge DL? I don't know how much of the gameplan was "run the ball", especially due to the LSU's defensive weaknesses. He didn't pass the ball great (and he didn't have to), and the RBs didn't run the ball...

    After 13 games we're 9-4. Let's revisit our thoughts and outlook on Coach Kalen DeBoer

    I think it is generally a good thing the offense will tend to score a TD (not all the time) when they're playing in a big game. That didn't typically happen under CNS, for all of his teams success. I haven't been disappointed in many areas under CKD. I knew there would always be a transition...

    CFP first rankings

    In the grand scheme of things, there really wasn't anything wrong with the BCS formula. It could've been used in the 4-team playoff, and still be used today.

    CFP first rankings

    Two points: 1) Regardless of how we feel about it, the CFB universe has always put in more weight on conference championships than anything else, and that was probably a good thing until Alabama beat LSU in the 2011 NC game, and again when Alabama and UGA beat each other in 2 NC games. Now, we...
