He must have seen your post. Good work, really lit a fire under his arse
This. This phenom should be a Bowl Game, not in the regular season

Bowl Games are traditional exhibition vacation rewards for a great season and cool trips overseas fit in just fine.

Ole Miss has really come into themselves now that Alabama can actually rotate OFF their schedule for the first time since the 80s.

Did LSU fans and board just collectively forgot the Lane Kiffin's last job at this level ended with the entire home stadium chanting "Fire Kiffin!"
No idea what your talking about.

All I heard was Alabama fans doing the War Chant

I genuinely cannot fathom that.

Florida State could come into Tuscaloosa winless and I'd still expect the Tide to be clawing at the locker room door for revenge after the humiliation of last year.


Coach should have the shortest pregame speech of the season: "Boys, you know your job today.... make it hurt."

It's a road game in the SEC and Kentucky has given plenty of teams an absolute fit in Lexington over the years



Though, oddly enough, not Alabama.

While I don't hold much stock in "what you did last year" being able to help a team this year, UK hasn't been our boogey man the way some other SEC teams have.

In this millennium, Big Blue has lost to Bama in every Lexington meeting, and none were close. You have to turn the clock back all the way to Mike DuBose's miserable first year 1997... and even that too the Wildcats needed overtime to beat us. To get to their next win, 1922.
I'd agree that the hot seat is now undeniably real with his nationally dominant era now older that most recruits memory.

2 national titles and 9 Conference rings bought him 1 unranked, barely .500 season..... can he survive a second?


Off-Topic: I used to wonder, what if Nick Saban had he had more a Bowden/Paterno mentality and was determined to only leave the job in a coffin. After SIX national titles, how many poor seasons would Alabama fans tolerate? Would the board have had the courage to step in, or had Nick Saban earned the right to leave Alabama in the shape he found it?
Five Star Elite 11 quarterback, David Cornwell was given the #12 jersey at the start of his Alabama career, but never started a game.

Her family are Auburn fans I’d bet due to one of the Rasmus boys playing there and Phenix City. However, she’d be a great player wherever but possibly a champion at Alabama.


Stranger things have happened. When I was in school, the best player on the soccer team was named Abby Lutzenkirchen.

In any event, plenty of athletes want to create their own legacy, or every Manning would have gone to Ole Miss.

We can only hope. If she can pitch underhand anything like her baseball pitches, we could have a more than worthy successor to Traina and Fouts legacy.

Patrick Murphy and Co. need to send the house for Rasmus when her recruiting class comes on the clock.

Looks like she hasn't really talked about any other softball teams than Oklahoma. Oof.
The singer, TV star and University of Alabama grad, smiled, danced along, but he would not sing.


Huge season for Coach Reed.

Alabama HAS to show some form of breaking through to the next level (average to above average), after four seasons of the cellar.

To her credit, she was handed probably the biggest build job in the conference outside of Vanderbilt (who literally began their program last year). Alabama Volleyball, thanks to Bama Soccer's break out 2022 season, probably has the least amount of prestige or history of any team sport at the Capstone...... but four years enough.

This team is all her athletes and she's had ample time to build her program, The Tide needs to finish mid-table or higher in the SEC, or Greg Byrne will need to start looking at other candidates.

That said, the trajectory is slow, but upwards, 2 win improvement per season.

2023. 1 SEC win
2024. 3 SEC wins
2025. 5 SEC wins
2026. ?
