Every Monday we present Tide Takes, where we’ll get into a different topic on the Crimson Tide, break down the previous game, preview the upcoming game, and everything in between. In this week’s edition, Alabama is fresh off its most complete half of football on the year, but the Crimson Tide cannot afford to keep […]
The Auburn University Marching Band is one of the best in the SEC. During halftime of Saturday night’s matchup against Ole Miss, the group debuted a new theme for the halftime show, celebrating legendary heavy-metal band Metallica. Metallica, which has been making hits since 1981, is one of the most well-known groups in music history […]
Huntsville native and Alabama super-fan Tommy Ray has one of the most impressive streaks we’ve ever heard of. Since 1972, Ray has attended every single Crimson Tide football game, home and road, and has an unbelievable streak of 654 consecutive games attended as of yesterday’s matchup against Tennessee. According to Rick Karle of WVTM 13, […]
With a 14-14 tie at halftime and what looked like a chance to get what would be the first SEC win of the Hugh Freeze era, Auburn’s offense (and quarterback situation) was once again the story of the night in the 28-21 loss. A late Auburn touchdown drive put the Tigers at 21 (and put […]
Things looked dire for the Alabama Crimson Tide throughout the first half on the Third Saturday in October. With Joe Milton III leading the Volunteers on an 8-play, 75 yard touchdown drive followed up by a sluggish start for Alabama’s offense, the matchup got off to the worst start imaginable. Jermaine Burton was able to […]
The population of Tuscaloosa, Alabama is a little over 100,000, which conveniently, is roughly what Bryant-Denny Stadium fits currently. But imagine for a second that the Crimson Tide could fit 10x that and 20% of the entire state population of 5 million+ in the stadium. Circling social media over the past week has been AI […]
The Third Saturday in October between Alabama and Tennessee is one of the best rivalries in all of college football, and of course is famously marked by the winning team and fans smoking a victory cigar. The cigar tradition dates back at least 60 years and has become a staple of the rivalry. For quarterback […]
Every Wednesday, we present “Around the SEC,” with the latest updates on where things stand in the best conference in the land. In this week’s edition, Georgia had a costly road trip at Vanderbilt over the weekend, defeating the Commodores 37-20 but losing arguably the best player in college football, superstar tight end Brock Bowers, […]
Every Tuesday we present “The Auburn Corner” featuring a breakdown of the previous game, a preview of the upcoming game, and everything in between. Last Saturday, Auburn was overmatched in Baton Rouge and dropped their third straight. Did expectations get too high for the Tigers this offseason? You can understand why there was so much […]
Quarterback Jalen Milroe and cornerback Terrion Arnold are clearly two of the more important players on this year’s Crimson Tide roster. But, for both guys, in different ways, it would be fair to say that each have doubters and naysayers. In response, the two players created the term “LANK” – “Let all naysayers know” – […]
Auburn head basketball coach Bruce Pearl has never been shy about sharing political opinions to his personal Twitter account. And after the events in Israel and Gaza over the past several weeks with the death toll nearing 3,000 — Pearl has been very active in sharing his thoughts. Pearl, a proud Jewish-American, posted yesterday: Israel […]
Every Monday, we present “Tide Takes,” where we’ll get into a different topic on the Crimson Tide, break down the previous game, preview the upcoming game, and everything in between. Last Saturday, Alabama looked to build off their huge win against Texas A&M. With a great first half and disastrous second, things are murky as […]
Going into the matchup between Auburn and LSU, there was some reason to have hope for an Auburn team that had not thrown over 100 passing yards against a power-five opponent in nearly a full calendar year. LSU’s defense, specifically their passing defense, has been absolutely dreadful thus far this season. The Bayou Bengals were […]
It wasn’t the best performance on homecoming for the Crimson Tide who had to hold on to defeat the now 2-5 Arkansas Razorbacks by a score of 24-21. But Alabama head coach Nick Saban is on a hot streak of providing golden lines at his press conferences. Arkansas QB KJ Jefferson, who has had an […]
It was not the strongest of starts for the Crimson Tide offense during homecoming on Saturday afternoon against the Arkansas Razorbacks. Perhaps you can chalk it up to the 11 a.m. start time with Alabama earning just one first down across its first two drives, but it did not take long for Jalen Milroe and […]
Alabama head football coach Nick Saban has never exactly struck anyone as the most tech savvy guy. In fact, the legendary coach is notorious for being the opposite, infamously saying in April 2022 how he doesn’t even use email. So, when Saban was asked Wednesday about preparing his team for the distraction of a solar […]
Every Wednesday we present “Across the SEC,” where we break down the biggest matchups of the previous week, preview the coming week’s slate, and talk about where things stand in the best conference in the land. In this week’s edition, Alabama has firmly taken control of the SEC West, while Georgia is finally starting to […]
Every Tuesday we present “The Auburn Corner” featuring a breakdown of the previous game, a preview of the upcoming game, and everything in between. This week, Auburn hits the road for an all-Tiger matchup in Baton Rouge against a talented but struggling LSU team. Jayden Daniels and the LSU offense has lived up to the […]
Every Monday, we present “Tide Takes,” where we’ll get into a different topic on the Crimson Tide, break down the previous game, preview the upcoming game, and everything in between. Last weekend, Alabama earned its biggest win of the season and is in control of its destiny for the remainder of the season. This was […]
It was an emotional win for Alabama over Texas A&M in College Station on Saturday afternoon. For all the doubt this team has been through, the Tide came up huge in a big spot, especially on defense. Last week, coach Saban gave props to his longtime wife Miss Terry for the coaching strategy of “getting […]
Alabama earned a massive win in Aggieland on Saturday that puts them squarely in control of the SEC West. But the Crimson Tide were anything but perfect on the afternoon, taking frustrating penalty after penalty and nearly costing itself a win. In total, Alabama took 14 penalties, and a staggering nine of them were in […]
With a point spread of less than a field goal and a game in a stadium where Alabama lost the last time they were there (and that was with Bryce Young), I don’t think there was a single Alabama fan who felt comfortable headed into Saturday afternoon’s matchup against Texas A&M. And why would you […]
There will be an added “air” of excitement to Alabama’s Homecoming game next week. Not only will the Crimson Tide’s Oct. 14 matchup against Arkansas feature homecoming festivities in Tuscaloosa, but a solar eclipse will happen right around halftime. The path of the partial eclipse is several hundred miles away but its peak – at […]
