When a point is repeatedly hammered home without much success, maybe doing the opposite is the trick. At least that’s what Alabama head coach Nick Saban thinks about the team’s fumbling issues. “We’ve been emphasizing it all year, so I don’t know how you emphasize something that’s so important anymore,” Saban said. “Maybe we ought […]

Earlier this week, Auburn wide receiver Sammie Coates was seen wearing a shirt that read “State of Auburn,” depicting the state of Alabama outline, filled in with blue and striped with blue and orange. The shirt was only available to football players at the time, but was an instant hit. This, of course, did not […]

Alabama and Auburn both control their own destiny into the Final Four of the College Football Playoff. All they have to do is win the rest of their games. Easy enough, right? Alabama moved up one spot in the poll from sixth to fifth as it heads to No. 16 LSU this weekend. But even with the […]

There wasn’t as much upheaval in college football over weekend as there has been in recent weeks, but don’t worry, things are probably about to get wild as the days get shorter and the games get better. Florida State survived its Thursday night contest, Auburn outlasted Ole Miss, Oregon squashed Stanford, and Alabama didn’t play. […]

The College Football Playoff committee released its first top 25 ranking Tuesday and had three SEC West teams in the final four, none of which was Alabama. The person who didn’t watch tonight’s countdown on ESPN and doesn’t care to know that Alabama placed sixth in the poll is Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban. […]

Another week has flown by in college football and we’re really starting to learn things about these teams. Ole Miss is no longer perfect, and LSU reminded everyone that playing at night in Baton Rouge is still terrible. Mississippi State and Auburn looked beatable but both finished strong. Notre Dame and Florida State both took […]

AUBURN, Ala.–Auburn returned home after its bye week to a surprising shootout that ended with a 42-35 win over South Carolina Saturday. “Obviously, this is a big win for us at home,” Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn said. “Lot of adversity we faced but our guys found a way to win.” This game was a […]

Week 9 was a return to glory for some, a disappointment for others, and the SEC West is either unstoppable or about to lose to each other. Here are your power rankings: The Bulldogs wisely scheduled their bye week in the midst of all this SEC conference play. They return to action Saturday against Kentucky, […]

The 2015 football schedules for Alabama and Auburn were released last night, along with every other SEC school — and it answered some questions. With the addition of Middle Tennessee State and Charleston Southern, Alabama now has a game for every week and its bye week is set. Each team in the SEC has only […]

The chaos of Week 6 in college football claimed a number of playoff contenders, with Alabama’s loss to Ole Miss or Oregon’s home loss to Arizona vying for the most unexpected. But through the bloodshed, Nick Marshall and Auburn burst through unscathed, throttling No. 15 LSU at home 41-7 and silencing the offensive concerns that […]

Well, that was interesting. Loads of top teams lost, meaning the power rankings look a bit different than they did last week. Of course, this isn’t the Final Four and there’s still plenty of football left to be played, but maybe this year will be filled with chaos instead of nice uniformity. My first idea […]

A Tribe Called Quest’s “Can I Kick It?” serves as the perfect backdrop for Auburn fans to relive the magic of the (in)famous “Kick Six” from last year’s Iron Bowl and other disastrous (for Alabama) moments in the game’s history. An Auburn fan put the above hype video on YouTube less than a week ago […]

Auburn’s homecoming game against Louisiana Tech on Saturday saw the Tigers secure their 300th win at Jordan-Hare Stadium and their 24th consecutive non-conference home game win. That’s great and all, but what may have been even more interesting was the premiere of “The Better Half: SEC Wives,” during ESPN’s College GameDay broadcast. The 6-minute video […]

“War Eagle!” and “Roll Tide!” are pretty common phrases you’ll find rolling off the tongues of all the classiest southern ladies in Alabama. It is football season, y’all and it’s time to kick up our game day gear! I’m an avid Auburn fan, and showcasing a dressed up version of game day colors in this […]

This week helped shed a little more light onto who is inching closer to the Playoff Four, except teams we thought would be very good had bad games. I’m looking at you, LSU. Here’s our power rankings for Week 4: The Crimson Tide made plenty of mistakes in this game, but put everything together to […]

SEC football in Kansas on a Thursday night just feels strange. Thursday nights are for NBC comedies, NFL football, Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal. USC in its glory years would always drop a Thursday night game in Oregon or at Cal, and MAC football makes its money on mid-week games, but Thursday nights feel like they’re suited for teams who play […]

Yes, I am one of those crazy few making the drive from Auburn to Manhattan this week for the showdown between No. 5 Auburn and No. 20 Kansas State. All week I heard about how terrible of a drive it was, but honestly, it’s been a smooth trip so far. Sure, I’m 11 hours in […]

After three weeks of football, the dominant teams have emerged and everything is clear. Ok, I lied, every team has its weaknesses and there has yet to be a single team — let alone four of them — to set itself apart from the pack. All of these ranked teams are about to start playing […]

The Southeastern Conference is regarded for having the most rabid fans in the country, with the craziest, most vocal fans usually residing in the student section.  ESPN.com SEC writer Edward Aschoff ranked his top five SEC student sections, with Alabama coming in at second behind LSU and Auburn rounding out the top five at fifth. […]

Auburn’s backup quarterback stands an imposing six-foot-five and completed 12 passes for a total of 243 yards and two touchdowns against Arkansas this past weekend. Impressive enough, but he had some unexpected passing competition on the field at the season opener. Standing 10 feet tall with a launching distance of 180 feet, the Double Barrel […]

Forbes magazine recently released its 15th annual ranking of the best small towns in America for business and careers. Seven Alabama cities made the list, with Auburn leading the way, coming in at number 10 nationally. Kurt Badenhausen, a Forbes staff writer, explained the methodology they used to craft the list: We consider 12 metrics […]

FARNBOROUGH, England — Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley announced from England on Tuesday that GE Aviation plans to bring high volume additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, to its facility in Auburn. This facility will be the first of its kind to mass produce additive components for the jet propulsion industry. “GE Aviation’s decision to […]

So this video is a couple of years old, but it resurfaced over the weekend when nationally-syndicated talk radio firebrand Michael Berry posted it on his Facebook page with the caption “This is how a Brit reacts to seeing American Collegiate Football for the 1st time.” In the video, English comedian and actor Stephen Fry […]

Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon entertained his audience on Wednesday night with a segment called “Meet the Players — NFL draft edition.” Fallon brought out a handful of the top college players in the country and introduced them to the crowd one by one. “We’ve actually got some of the top college players in the […]
