Floating alone on a raft among a sea of A+ grades, the nation’s only high school focused on the integration of cyber technology and engineering into all academic disciplines received a report card a report card with just one blemish. A mark of C in sports. That’s according to Niche’s 2024 rankings of Alabama public […]

Auburn overmatched in Bayou beatdown

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 […]

Tide edges out Razorbacks in homecoming win

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 […]

Auburn basketball coach Bruce Pearl criticized the Biden administration in response to the series of surprise attacks against Israel over the weekend. There are Americans being held hostage in Gaza! — Bruce Pearl (@coachbrucepearl) October 8, 2023 More than 600 Israelis were killed and some 2,000 were injured after Hamas militants launched the terrorist attacks […]

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 […]

Tide earns massive road win in Aggieland

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 […]

Tuskegee University has one of the most iconic football stadiums among Historically Black Colleges and Universities – if not anywhere – with its “shed.” Now, architecture students at the university will have a chance to design their own fictional stadium with the NFL’s assistance. Tuskegee’s Robert R. Taylor School of Architecture and Construction Science is […]

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 […]

University of Montevallo bass fishing angler Easton Fothergill won the Bassmaster College Bracket competition Monday afternoon and will now compete against the best professional anglers in the Bassmaster Classic next spring. That feat is impressive enough. But Fothergill underwent emergency brain surgery less than two months ago in order to return to the competition. His […]

Rumors of the demise of Magic City Classic were greatly exaggerated. The Alabama Sports Council has signed a four-year agreement with Alabama A&M to manage the McDonald’s Magic City Classic presented by Coca-Cola for the 2023-2026 events, the sports council announced. Tuesday’s announcement comes after months of discussions, including veiled threats for the classic to […]

Throughout the first few weeks of the season, while there have been flashes, not many would say that Alabama was “playing good”. Certainly at least not up to the standard that Nick Saban has established throughout his more than 15 years in Tuscaloosa. Saturday’s 40-17 victory over Mississippi State felt like the first full, 60 […]

Bama builds on Ole Miss with dominant win

Last week at Bryant-Denny Stadium, the second half against Ole Miss felt — for the first time, in a very long time — like Crimson Tide football fans have become accustomed to. An out-muscling of an inferior opponent where Alabama ran the ball successfully and played phenomenal defense. And last week we said, maybe Alabama […]
