Sunday on Twitter, Auburn University head basketball coach Bruce Pearl reiterated his support for Israel by posing the question, if his hometown Boston or his current residence Auburn were threatened by a hostile power, what would be the appropriate reaction?

While his teammates were celebrating their historic come-from-behind victory over Georgia last night at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Alabama center Bradley Bozeman focused on more important things. The 319-pound junior from Roanoke, Ala., dropped to one knee and asked his girlfriend to marry him. SHE SAID YES!!! Congratulations, @bradboze75. #RollTide pic.twitter.com/AlnpKNPPNZ — SEC Network […]
Two heroes emerged in the showdown between SEC rivals Alabama and Georgia -- First, Tua Tagovailoa, the true freshman second-string quarterback who entered the game in the second half in an unexpected, and some would say risky, substitution.
The national championship matchup has a lot of people speculating about the publicly cordial relationship between Nick Saban and his former Tide coaching colleague Kirby Smart, and a recent story by Aaron Suttles of the Tuscaloosa News adds, let’s just say, some drama to the mix. “The Tuscaloosa News learned that on his way […]
Georgia’s governor declared a “Georgia Football Friday” last week in celebration of the University of Georgia’s appearance in tonight’s College Football Playoff National Championship. Gov.

Bradley Byrne (R-Fairhope) could be blamed for the election of Doug Jones to the U.S. Senate earlier this month. According to a thread initiated by Politico’s Daniel Strauss, the indefatigable Lyman postulates Byrne’s lackluster effort in the 2010 Alabama gubernatorial […]
Looks like I have a new and improved excuse to stand firm as the only non-Crimson Tide fan in my family: Nick Saban is my trigger. I’ve been having some strange reactions to sports news lately but I couldn’t think why … — First, SEC commissioner Greg Sankey announced that SEC Media Days will no longer be […]
Nick Saban, who probably came in third in the Alabama Senate race, is being called a “clueless, gutless, selfish coward” for his political silence.
Hmmm…. So… Remember back, wow, a six-week lifetime ago, when so many Alabamans were calling for the guillotined head of Auburn football coach Gus Malzahn? Don’t they look rather silly now that Auburn is in the SEC title game and very much alive for the national championship? No, this isn’t a sports column, although […]
How big is this year’s Iron Bowl? So big that bragging rights is way down the list. Alabama, No. 1 in the College Football Playoff ranking, heads to the Plains to meet its cross-state rival at 2:30 p.m. on CBS. And victory for the visitors or No. 6 Auburn stamps that team’s ticket […]
Every fall I tell myself not to get too emotional about Alabama football. “It’s just a bunch of guys I don’t know, who are going to a school that I didn’t attend, who are playing a game with a ball, a game that I have no control over, and whose result doesn’t have […]
With a most unconventional president in the White House, the current tax plan being considered in Washington is appropriately unconventional as well. For Alabama, the plan is a mixed bag that is likely to please some but satisfy few. College football – the sport that is synonymous with Alabama to most of the country – […]
If you follow Alabama Football’s Twitter feed then you might have noticed a slight change in their cover photo. It’s not a red elephant or a Heisman Trophy-winning running back – its Pennywise the Clown from Steven Kings mega-hit “It”. Besides changing the photo, the Twitter account gives no explanation of what the image is […]

As reported by SEC Country, Daviyon “Big Truck” Nixon is a 3-star defensive tackle from Iowa Western Community College. Measuring in at 6-foot-5 and 300 pounds, Nixon is anything but small, and he’s very athletic. Still, even for a man his size and ability, a recent call from the University of Alabama left him “shocked.” […]
by Mr. Corky Pugh Throughout modern history, Alabama, like many of its southern neighbors, has benefited from hunting. In addition to hunting pumping 2-billion dollars into the Alabama economy each year, the positive contributions of hunters on the culture and the conservation of natural resources are irreplaceable. Perhaps most of all, generations of Alabamians have […]
