    Indiana (Sign Stealing)

    With AI technology and large analyst staffs along with enormous pressure to win this will be the tip of the iceberg. I believe there needs to be some thought put in to how to communicate in such a way as to not reveal intent. Like many said the main call comes across the radio. I'm curious...

    BREAKING AJ McCarron named Stallions Head Coach

    Defense continuing to struggle. still time to turn it around but they have not even played the better teams yet so without a big improvement they are going to get trampled.

    Getting Ready for Spring Battles!

    If you're talking about the block by Dear where he got knocked through the air into the backfield it's important to note that the guy who knocked him backwards lost momentum and never got back into the play, it looked like a win for the Defender on video but in reality Dear had the right body...

    BREAKING AJ McCarron named Stallions Head Coach

    Stallions look a bit middle of the road currently. They have had some success in red zone defense but the first two QB's they have faced roasted them on long passes and Matt Corral doesn't look like the answer at QB, not unless he can find some consistency. It's early but I believe there are...

    New Defensive Line Coach from Sooners

    In the modern game the run game is to make the passing game go. It stops the defense from being able to crash the pocket yes, but if you saw Indiana they were getting 4 and 5 yards or more on 1st down almost every time. Even when everyone including the dog knew the run was coming they...

    New Targeting Rule for 2026

    They throw the targeting flag on ANY and I do mean ANY play that "looks violent" then they let the guy in the booth figure it out. So far I've seen zero consistency in what criteria they use. first they said it had to involved contact with the crown of the helmet then they started nailing us...

    Getting Ready for Spring Battles!

    I don't believe any of the youtube folks have much as far as inside info and since we haven't had any scrimmages yet even inside information is probably not available. I will say that up until now everyone talked a good game about the run game but after last seasons utter collapse the reality...

    Juco football could come to Alabama

    They are doing it so high school players will have a place to play because currently the guys in college refuse to leave.

    Link: NCAA Proposes Penalties in Attempt to Prevent Student Athletes From Transferring Outside the Portal Window.

    The courts will always rule against the NCAA, they have a curse on them for obvious reasons. The only way to save college football is for the schools to act in unison and simply threaten to stop football until such time as everyone agrees to a governing process. The courts can't "make" them...

    What Freshmen, portal transfers, or JUCO transfers might contribute early this coming season?

    I don't want to put that kind of pressure on the guy, he was the best to ever do it, but he did show that it can be done so no excuses.

    What Freshmen, portal transfers, or JUCO transfers might contribute early this coming season?

    The thing with a guy like that, clearly he can run routes, catch the ball, get open for the most part. I think with him the question might be how big time corners want to intimidate and go hard at you in the first 5 yards, knock you off you're route. He's 175 lbs at last report and some...

    What Freshmen, portal transfers, or JUCO transfers might contribute early this coming season?

    but back to your question I believe due to being thin at the positions WR Cederian Morgan and RB Ezavier Crowell will have a chance to make an impact. There's going to be a free for all competition at OL so some new guys are almost certainly going to be starters. Some other guys, I...

    What Freshmen, portal transfers, or JUCO transfers might contribute early this coming season?

    I saw a few posts on the interwebs where some folks have spilled some details about what some players have asked for and gotten. None of the examples were from SEC schools I think but I'm sure there is some absurdity. One guy asked for "and got" a university employee to follow him around...

    Trinidad Chambliss sues NCAA

    I'm pretty sure the only way we are having college football in 10 years is if the presidents of the universities all get together and just say we are done until we set some sane rules to govern this and make the rules set in stone. there really shouldn't be anyone having to "decide" if you...

    Bama Hires New TE Coach

    I think having a guy with run game coordinator experience in can help us adjust the offense to get more balance. I don't think the offence is broken, it just needs tweaks. The rest of it is just mediocre players and ineffective coaching. We canned the coach, did a reset on the offensive...

    The Film Guy - Bama's offseason additions

    I think we are going to have to hope the new OL coach can develop these OL we brought in. They were mostly young so it's not a big surprise that their film isn't popping at this point. There just isn't a tougher position to play than OL. Experience does matter. It doesn't guarantee you to be...

    Reggie Ragland get into it with Nikhai Hill-Green on the Tide's mentality and coaching against Indiana

    I think we have to wait and see on this one. On the plus side, The first two years it seems the players weren't all a fit together. By year three in the portal era the team should be pretty much all guys he specifically picked. On the negative side I don't remember a coach who produced...

    Reggie Ragland get into it with Nikhai Hill-Green on the Tide's mentality and coaching against Indiana

    Alabama has definitely been losing the head game part. They somewhat convinced themselves they were superior to Florida State and then got shellacked by them. Truth is Alabama was better than them but if you don't play to your potential then your potential isn't very meaningful. Certainly...

    Link: Wednesday Thoughts On OL Room

    Would love to see Vlachos brought in as an additional OL coach. Pound for Pound he may have been one of the best in the Saban era. On the subject of personnel I feel like we did ok in the portal. I think the house cleaning was necessary just to utterly reset the position. Hopefully a...

    After worst postseason loss in Alabama history, the Tide are on the wrong side of a 'fine line' under Kalen DeBoer

    I think DeBoer is right that there is a fine line from where we are vs where Indiana is. But that is not to say we are close. The fine line exists in how every player on the team approached preparation starting on the first day of winter training. Talent isn't what is holding us back, it's...
