Yeah, I thought that comment from CKD was pretty baseless--like trying to make himself feel better. From my perspective, the line between Indiana and Alabama is bold and thick, and I'm tired of CDK blowing smoke otherwise. I'm resigned to the fact that he has a minimum of 1-2 more years in...

Coach Bryant's show on Sundays, sponsored by Golden Flake and Coca-Cola--those were the days! One of my funniest memories was of Coach Bryant trying to pronounce where Tommy Wilcox was from: "Hanrahan", Louisiana (actually Harahan, but who was going to argue with Coach Bryant?).

That's fair, and I never said that I agreed with Toppermeyer's conclusion that we are more like a mid-pack SEC team, although we looked like that in a few games this season. And to anyone who thinks that we have achieved something by being on top of the SEC at the end of the regular season...

Alabama gets stuffed full of humble pie, so stop giving SEC benefit of the doubt https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/sec/2026/01/02/alabama-football-embarrassed-kalen-deboer-indiana-rose-bowl-sec-big-ten-record/87939308007/ I guess this is as good a place to post this link as any. I...

Wasn't it their older brother Luke who was hired by Dykes at TCU and not their father? Their dad is Blake Brockermeyer, who played at UT Austin and in the pros for a number of years, and their brother Luke also played at UT. I believe Dykes cut loose of Luke after James transferred to Miami.

I just find it amusing that a "journalist" (very light use of that term) has to resort to lurking on an opposing fans' message board and call out individual posters so that he can have something about which to write in order to try and motivate his favorite team or arouse that team's fanbase. Is...

Respectfully @GOIU, and I think another poster as already alluded to this, but the postseason bowl record by conference doesn't mean much, especially since many teams have several important "opt-outs" for various reasons, such as declaring for the draft, headed to the transfer portal, injuries...

Yes, that was Low's prediction. When all 5 of the On3 guys' predictions are averaged, however, the resulted prediction is IU 25-14.

All 5 of On3's "experts"--Staples, Wasserman, Low, PicKell, and McMurphy--pick IU by an average of double digits, something like 25-14.

TIdewater, not to argue with your memory, but I believe that was the 1986 Miami team who wore the fatigues on the airplane ride to the Fiesta Bowl for the 1987 game against Penn St. for the national title. Penn St. upset them 14-10 to be crowned national champions. The Cotton Bowl game in 1991...

GOIU, just a word to the wise here. I am neither a moderator nor a longtime poster, although I have been a member of Tidefans for 8 years and am a lifelong Bama fan. Most of the posters here, aka "Tide Fans", are indeed logical thinkers, and that comes across in their posts. I'm not sure what...

Pat Sullivan was indeed a class act and a heck of a competitor on the football field. Watching him and Terry Beasley connect on those passes was a thing of beauty, and I personally have always despised Auburn! Another great man who won the Heisman in 1973 was Penn State's John Cappelletti, who...

But you doesn't have to call me Johnson!

Bama never beat Testaverde. They did beat Torretta.

I’m trying to be optimistic for the CFP vs OU, but is Bama's offense capable, at this point, of threatening anyone? Based on what we saw in the SECCG last Saturday, everyone on the field and everyone watching knows we have absolutely no running game because the OL is not on the level required...
