UNC Asheville _____ at Alabama ______

Leading scorer for Alabama ______________________ Point Total ___________

This might be hard to believe for the younger folks, but in the 1960's there were "double headers" played at Legion Field as both Alabama and Auburn played many home games there. The first one that I remember was on September 24th 1966 when Bama beat LaTech 34-0 in the afternoon game and Tennessee beat Auburn 28-0 in the "nightcap"! The next "double header" that I remember was on November 9th 1968, when Bama upset #9 LSU 16-7 in the afternoon game and #18 Auburn upset #5 Tennessee 28-0 in the "nightcap"! I don't remember attending the games in 1966, but we did attend the 1968 games and I still have a program from the Bama-LSU game. What a great way to spend the day as a kid watching two college football games at Legion Field!

In 2005, I decided to create my own double header, so I flew out to LA to watch some games. On September 17th, I went to the Rose Bowl and saw unranked UCLA upset #21 Oklahoma (with RB Adrian Peterson) 41-24 in the afternoon game and then drove to the Coliseum to watch #1 USC destroy Arkansas 70-17 in the "nightcap"! That was the USC team going for the "3-Peat" with Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush, etc. that was defeated by Texas in the NC game! To finish the day, I went to Phillippe's restaurant established in 1908 and they boast having the Original " French Dip Sandwich"! It is a great place to eat and is an LA landmark. I think that it is about 1 mile from Dodger stadium. You can't beat college football double headers!

As we enter LSU week, here's hoping that the Bama magic is back and that we defeat the Bayou Bengals in Baton Rouge like we always used to do! Roll Tide!!

May guess is he can’t break it. https://bamahammer.com/mark-sears-c...-time-leading-scorer-this-season-01jb17jbg45p

Kalen DeBoer, Kane Wommack and Nick Sheridan will speak to reporters in a few minutes. Live updates here.

USC loses to Washington 21-26 -- Lincoln Riley now has 5 losses on the season. The Trojans finished the 2023 season with 5 losses after suffering only 3 in 2022 (Riley’s first season at the helm).



Western Kentucky over Kennesaw State 31-14 -- Don’t look now but the Hilltoppers are now 6-2.

Ole Miss over Arkansas 63-31 -- Jaxson Dart’s performance falls off significantly against better competition. His three worst completion percentage games came in a loss at LSU (57%), a win at S. Carolina (52%) and a loss at Kentucky (67%), which was Dart’s 3rd worst completion percentage all season. Fingers crossed he’s on target in Oxford against Kirby and the Dawgs this weekend but I fear he might have used it all up against the Razorbacks.

Florida loses to Georgia 20–34 -- Has the Billy Napier experiment officially ended in Gainesville? It's never been the same for the Gators since the loss to Bama in the 2009 SEC Championship game.



Penn State loses to Ohio State 13-20 -- James Franklin is now 1-10 versus Ohio State and still cannot win the big one.



Miami over Duke 53-31 -- Does anyone else think when Cam Ward moves on to the NFL after this season that the Canes slide back to 5-6 loss program again?

Louisville over Clemson 33-21 -- Clemson had played only one good team prior to this weekend and got completely embarrassed (UGA 34-3). The Cards were the second decent team on the Tiger's schedule and the outcome was very similar to Georgia game…embarrassment. And at home to boot.



Indiana over Michigan State 47-10 -- The Hoosiers have played only 2 teams with a winning record in Nebraska (5-4) and Washington (5-4).

Vanderbilt over Auburn 17-7 -- In his second season Freeze now has a worse record than Bryan Harsin (9-13 versus 9-12). LOL! I'm sure he'll find a way to blame global warming for his lack of creating the freeze warning he claimed was coming.



UCLA over Nebraska 27-20 -- The Bruins, who are one of the worst P5 teams, got a huge upset win over the Huskers in Lincoln. I wonder if Dylan Raiola is now rethinking his big de-commitment from Georgia?



North Carolina over FSU 35-11 -- I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a team challenge for a possible national title one year and then win only two games the following season. It could happen but only if the Canes beat Charleston Southern on 11/23.

All the latest right here:

It is always trite to say that. Game is the most important game of the year; however, Saturday Night in Red Stick, one team will be eliminated from the playoffs and one team will be three wins away. The scene will be wilder than ever.

PSU soft schedule...and again no offense. They just are crap...other than ice cream, nothing in Unhappy Family but a prison

Did this before last season as well. Ranked each of Alabama's players, and discussed what their roles could look like this season.

This is one of the most loaded college basketball teams I've ever seen.

That place is rocking and SC is flying around on both sides. I don’t really want to play in the SECCG bc it decreases our odds of making the playoffs now that we are a 2 loss team. But I’m pulling for SC tonight to make A&M a 2 loss team!

Bama needs them to continue winning.

Do we want Florida to win to get as many SEC teams as we can to have 2+ conference losses and keep our SEC championship hopes alive (yes I know we need a miracle). Or do we want Georgia to keep winning to make our win look better for SOS?

It’s a pretty cool clip for those that really like football.

With No. 14 Alabama off this weekend, Crimson Tide fans will have some time to tune into other games across the nation. Several of those will include familiar faces, as Alabama saw 30 players from last year’s team join new programs through the transfer portal.


Here’s a look at how the Tide’s transfers have done so far this season and whether their departure from the program has been successful.

Antonio Kite was dismissed for skipping too many practices

Another great visit to Alabama over the weekend as the Crimson Tide continue to be a top contender:

"This was my second game day visit this season just like against Georgia. It was a great environment. The coaching staff made me and my mother feel so comfortable. Coach (Kalen) DeBoer and I had another one on one visit just like we did at the Georgia game. He just continues to express how much he likes my playing style and abilities on the field and that he’s going to be personally recruiting me as well. Coach (Freddie) Roach consistently tells me that he wants to coach me, that is his message.

"I like Alabama, LSU and Texas A&M so far out of all the visits I’ve been on so far. I’m really going to do my due diligence and vet each program to see which one actually is somewhere I see myself playing."
