Kalen DeBoer said the word “fun” six times during his postgame press conference last night. While Alabama's 63-0 win over Western Kentucky wasn't perfect, it certainly provided plenty of entertainment. Here are my takeaways from the win.

Anyone going tomorrow who could grab me a white one, I'll pay for shipping and buy you one...

Alabama has offered four-star Class of 2025 TE Vander Ploog (one of the best names on the recruiting trail) today.

Ploog committed to Washington back in June. Alabama currently has one TE commit — four-star Kaleb Edwards.

Hey y’all. I bought tickets on Ticketmaster for the game Saturday and didn’t realize when I bought them that they’re a PDF. They have a QR code on them but I know they do mobile ticketing only. Does anyone know if the PDF with a QR code will scan and I’ll be able to get into the game? I’m just hoping I haven’t gotten scammed. 🙃

I know some of you never watch the NfL. Move on to another thread! The game was delayed bc weather during warm ups! That was for them acting like children last year during warm ups! Excited to see Henry play for a good team! My son loves sports so his first fantasy season is this year and he has Mahomes and Henry tonight!

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The weather forecast calls for clear skies during Saturday night’s matchup between No. 4 Alabama and South Florida. That’s already an improvement from last year’s meeting when the Crimson Tide slogged out an ugly 17-3 victory amidst what felt like a typhoon in Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium.

Alabama matchup following a dominating 63-0 win over Western Kentucky during its opener last week. South Florida is also coming off a Week 1 blowout after easily dismantling FCS foe Bethune-Cookman, 48-3. Here are five things we’ll be watching for when the two teams take the field inside Bryant-Denny Stadium at 6 p.m. CT Saturday.

Has to feel good for him to be home and see some guys from the old days!

The definition of optimism. It appears that Vandy fans are booking all of the rooms in Atlanta for January 20.

Haven’t heard anything about it in quite some time. Last I heard we were in the running.
ROLL TIDE ROLL!

I am sure it is just internet gibberish but folks in Gainesville are chomping at the bits to make a change.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — After turning over its roster this offseason, Alabama featured a few new faces in key roles over the weekend. In total, eight Crimson Tide players made their first college start during the 63-0 victory over Western Kentucky.

Here’s a look at how each of them performed during their first-team debuts.

2025 is going to be a very interesting cycle for Alabama. They took a full class in 2024 with a class full of potential multi year guys, so how many will they take this year? Good question. I’d say likely 3-4 considering the amount of guys that will be leaving after this year. Here’s what I’m hearing on a few of them:

Davion Hannah:

Really talented 6’6 wing out of Link Academy. He’s got tremendous upside with a solid floor as well. I’m told Alabama is the leader for him at the moment. He’s fresh off a visit this past weekend

Hudson Greer

6’7 wing who can really shoot and handle the ball out of Lake Travis. Probably one of my favorite guys in this class. I’m told Alabama also is the favorite for him as well. I believe he had a visit scheduled this week but pushed it back to November I’m told.

Caleb Wilson

Top 5 player in the class will be on campus this weekend. Alabama is trailing 2-3 teams in this recruitment, but getting an official visit can obviously change things. Still do not expect him part of this class.

Mikel Brown Jr

5 star PG who visited Alabama this past spring has the Tide high up on his list. He contemplated reclassifying but decided against it. With Alabama missing on Jasper Johnson, Brown may become more of a priority even with 2 PGs expected to be on the roster next year with Holloway and Philon. I think Alabama is in his top 3, potentially the favorite right now.

Alabama created a special moment for 10-year-old fan Suzannah Earnest, who was diagnosed in 2022 with Friedreich's ataxia, a progressive genetic condition.

Replacing Will Reichard might be a two-man job for Alabama. During last weekend’s season-opening win over Western Kentucky, the Crimson Tide split its kicking duties, as Miami-Ohio transfer Graham Nicholson took most of the extra-point duties while redshirt freshman Conor Talty handled kickoffs.

Is he out for the season if so that’s a blow
