ROLL TIDE ROLL!

Alabama added 22 freshmen in its 2022 recruiting class and with seven games played, Tide Illustrated looked at who has burned their redshirt, who could still burn their redshirt, and players likely to keep their redshirt.

Is really sticking with me today/ tonight. Having a hard time putting this game behind me. Something just feels worse and different about this one. Maybe it’s all of these things combined:

The 52 points allowed and just complete collapse of any form of defensive aptitude.
The 17 penalties.
The last 3 minutes and first quarter were just nightmares.
The joy and glee with the Bama demise from rival fans and all media is beyond annoying. Hell, game was even discussed on the ABC National News tonight.
All great things come to an end/ cannot help but think we are witnessing the first major crack in the Saban Foundation.
Hope I am wrong. But this whole season has been troubling on too many fronts

recent offers bama has made
6-8 small forward zion sensley class of 2024
6-5 shooting paul mcneil class of 2024
6-3 combo guard jared harris class of 2024
6-7 small forward tyran stokes best dunker in the class of 2026

Alabama plays a secret scrimmage at TCU today. I’ll have updates as I come across them

I mean how much does the SEC pay a crew that loses track of what down it is. It took them 15 minutes to sort that out when 50 million people already knew what down it was. They get paid more for four hours of work than most people make in a week. Coaches and players interview regardless of winning or losing. It's time to put incompetent crews on the podium and have them explain terrible calls.

found this video on twitter of a different angle of the interception..and this is who throws the flag, not the official right beside the play..this one..

you can’t make this up..

is airing bama`s foreign tour tomorrow at 10 central time.

Monday signifies a new week for Alabama, a welcome sight after falling to Tennessee on Saturday. Here are the highlights from Saban's Monday press conference.

— "After watching the film, this is kind of a collective loss by our team. I don't think we played the way we wanted to play, for sure."

— Saban said on the last five plays of the game the team didn't execute. "We can talk about running the ball, but we dropped a pass and the clock would be running and we would be closer."

— "This is something from the bottom up. I'm talking about coaches. I'm talking about players. I'm talking about me. We all have to do a better job to help these guys learn from their mistakes and improve and get better."

— Saban: "Mississippi State's an outstanding team. Mike Leach is one of the most difficult guys offensively to try to defend."

— Saban on which penalties have caused the most issues: "We've been harping on pass interference, to keep our hands off of people. ... We've just gotta do a better job of timing up the swat."

— Saban said he didn't get an explanation on why the referees didn't call targeting on Bryce Young. "We turn the plays in. I'm sure the league office will look at it and make a determination."

— Saban said the team was "tight" when it started the game. "Coming out of the locker room, our players weren't even chanting. I said, 'Why aren't you guys chanting? What's up with that?'

— Saban: "No one is entitled to a position."

— Saban on the hits on Young: "He's a great competitor and he's a good leader on the team. We need to do a better job of protecting him and we certainly don't want him to get hit. Can we do that 100%? Sometimes he scrambles and runs and gets hit. ... But it's why he is a great player, so I don't know how to change that."

— "We can't continue to tolerate guys that aren't doing the things they need to do to be successful. Nobody's entitled to a position. Everybody's earned the position that they're in by showing they have the capability and ability to do it on a consistent basis."

Didn't watch every snap of the game and I am sure that 87% of the snaps on defense were head scratchers, but on Hyatt's 4th or 5th touchdown from the 20 it was single coverage with the DB playing like 10 yards off. How exactly are you expected to stop anybody?

Jahmyr Gibbs was on of six players selected in this week's Paul Hornung Award Honor Roll. The Paul Hornung Award presented by Texas Roadhouse, now in its 13th season, is given annually to the most versatile player in major college football by the Louisville Sports Commission.

Alabama senior RB / return specialist Jahmyr Gibbs played 74 total snaps, touched the ball 32 times three different ways and scored three times in the Crimson Tide’s 52-49 loss to Tennessee in Knoxville. Gibbs lined up at wide receiver, slot and running back, carried the ball 24 times for 103 yards and three touchdowns and caught five passes for 48 yards. He played 71 downs and accounted for 10 first downs from scrimmage and returned three kickoffs for 51 yards.

on the defensive side of the ball seems to be a thing of the past. We used to get players that would straight up bust you in the mouth every freaking play and made the other team quit....just like Saban wanted. Now, I just don't see players on our team like this. Is this a reflection of the times we live in? Is it influenced by NIL? Or is it a characteristic that is just rare to find? I just don't see it. Players seem soft.

Not that it matters…but UT kicker had a half-step head start before the snap. No way he makes that kick from five yards further back.

Can anyone tell me how many holding calls our opponents have been flagged for?

If you want us to cry- we will not. If you're looking
for excuses
- there are none at the University of
Alabama. Tired & Weary, but never broken. The
things you learn from losses are far more
important than those moments when you're
standing on the mountain top.
Romans 5:3-5 says
"More than that, we rejoice in
our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces
endurance, and endurance produces character,
and character produces hope, and hope does not
put us to shame, because God's love has been
poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit
who has been given to us."
Win, lose or tie, I'm Alabama til I die. If you
haven't given up on the Tide go grab a jersey

Has Alabama ever rushed the field?
Has Alabama ever torn down the goal post?
Is there a known case of a Bama fan tearing an ACL after a win?

did anyone notice the poor UT fan with his fingers laced together in prayer towards the end of the game? I wonder how hard the camera man was laughing at that one. You know that’s why he focused on him! Hilarious!

We have some on here who are crying the sky is falling and want to go as far as saying coaches should be fired on the spot and Saban should retire . then there are others who want to blame the refs and say had this and that not happened we’d be undefeated every year.
To begin with, we didnt get our azz kicked, we lost to an undefeated #6 team on their home turf by a late fg despite some calls that could’ve gone either way (and yes home team do usually get the calls)and 17 penalties which was an all time high for a Saban coached Alabama team. refs are human too and its no surprise that home teams usually get calls. its called home field advantage for a reason. refs give calls , teams have the sideline that has the sun directly on them, crowd noise affecting the offense in a variety of ways, traveling, etc. etc.
Now the 17 penalties , there is no other way to slice it, thats on coaching. and what makes it worst the #2 most penalized Saban game was by the same team a few weeks back. kind of hard to change that midway through the season

Alabama head coach Nick Saban commented on the two controversial calls against Tennessee during his Monday press conference.

"Look my big thing is consistency, call it the same for everybody," Saban said.
