I am here live in Desoto, TX and Keelon Russell is UNSTOPPABLE!!!

Four touchdown connections with fellow 5-star, Oregon WR commit Dakorien Moore.

The shorted TD connection was like 40 yards. He is out heaving bombs and VERY accurate.

Bama made the bottom 10 this week

A new low for us. Don’t know if this existed pre saban but it’s pretty deflating

If you are Ryan’s dad, what you asking Coach Debo to come up with before next season? Respectfully of course. No demands or threats. Just coach I’d like to see Ryan make $_______ if possible.

JBama66 hit nine right last weekend to post the best score. Well it is time to get my rear end off the ground and start picking again. As usual pick the winner in game 12, the leading rusher for the winning team and his yardage.

1. California at Pitt

2. Arizona at BYU

3. Penn State at Southern Cal

4. Kansas State at Colorado

5. Ohio State at Oregon

6. Missouri at Massachusetts

7. Texas at Oklahoma

8. Mississippi State at Georgia

9. Florida at Tennessee

10. Ole Miss at LSU

11. Vanderbilt at Kentucky

12. South Carolina at Alabama

Since the NCAA Tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985, only 20 teams have made consecutive Final Fours. As Alabama looks to accomplish the feat this year, here's a look at the last five programs to pull it off.

Saban was asked about Moore's actions at the end of the Vandy game on the Pat McAfee show.

Tony and I previewed the South Carolina game here:

A look right here at some massive games:

To the banner reveal tomorrow night? If so, give me your pick for the dunk and three-point contest and maybe a scrimmage prediction. Looking forward to seeing the new team suit up for the first time!

I was told Alabama four-star DB commit Dijon Lee will be visiting Georgia this weekend. He has been close with position coach Donte Williams for years. While I was told he's still happy committed to the Crimson Tide and that's not expected to change, he's expected in Athens and then we will see from there.

So Law won’t play along with Pierre and Kobe. What OL is playing thru injuries? If he is can we rest him let home heal

This game is CRUCIAL not only to win, but to make a statement! In this crazy world of college football of the transfer portal and NIL where players can leave almost at any time, not to mention recruiting. It certainly seems to me that we need to go out and dominate and win big. Otherwise, it seems like things can go south in a hurry. I see DeBoer under a whole new level of pressure like he’s never seen or experienced before. The criticism of being soft, not ready for the SEC, too even keel, not a disciplinarian, etc are looming like a dark cloud. IMO, DeBoer better be fired up and ready to kill South Carolina. Thoughts?

Conference game times here:

Alabama helped add a new project to Vanderbilt’s construction plans in the south end zone of Vanderbilt’s FirstBank Stadium. So when it comes time to replace a torn-down goalpost, maybe Kane Wommack and his porous defense should help front the bill.

Just don’t pay the defensive coordinator’s unit by the hour. They didn’t get much of anything done during their roughly 42 minutes on the field in No. 1 Alabama’s 40-35 loss to Vanderbilt on Saturday night.

I’d say the Crimson Tide’s defense is more capable of demolition than construction work. Then again, that involves knocking things down. Lately, Alabama hasn’t done much of that.

According to Pro Football Focus, the Tide compiled nine missed tackles against Vanderbilt while also failing to sack quarterback Diego Pavia. Meanwhile, the Commodores stacked up 26 first downs while going 12 of 18 on third-down conversions.

Malachi Moore was the only Alabama player capable of getting Tide defenders off the field in the fourth quarter. That came during the team captain’s hissy fit in the final seconds when he disobeyed Wommack's attempt to sub him off by sending Bray Hubbard back to the sidelines.

Alabama’s defense embarrassed itself in nearly every way Saturday night, but is the Tide’s season sunk with the Vanderbilt goalposts in Nashville’s Cumberland River? In today’s column, we’ll discuss where Alabama’s title hopes stand following its inharmonious performance in the Music City.

Pour yourself a drink — because you will need it — and let’s dive in.

Man he had some choice words about KD. Said he’s no Nick Saban and it was a disgrace of a lose among other things
