re: Ugly game. But the grit is there and the team is for real.

We can definitely beat these guys in a rematch, just wasn’t our night.

One of the worst individual performances I’ve seen from a player wearing Crimson in recent memory. Otherwise proud of how the boys fought against a very experienced team. We can beat them in a rematch.

Hard not to like anything about this performance. The outcome was never really in doubt. Reminds me of a Saban era type of win.

Looks a lot like last year.
re: Like him or not, DeBoer was the best pick and it's not really close.
Posted by EastTXTide on 9/19/26 at 9:05 am to 1loyalbamafan
Completely agree that he was the best option available at the time, especially given the timing of Sabans retirement, which was well after the general coaching change cycle had concluded. I still don’t think he is an ideal fit for Alabama though. I’d take him any day over Kiffin, who may have some short term success but will almost certainly leave a disaster to clean up.

Any DeBoer fans/defenders want to check in? Anyone?

Not trying to shade Keelon too much here, I think he’s not being helped by Grubb AT ALL. But also the whole “He’s going to be better than Bryce” shite is not supported at all so far either.
There’s a reason he wasn’t heavily recruited by many other good programs. We flipped him from SMU.

This is key and why these coaching contracts continue to be ridiculous even after disasters like Jimbo Fisher, Brian Kelly and Mike Norvell. Coaches can threaten to blow up the roster. It’s a reality of the transfer portal era that didn’t exist a previously. Once we hired DeBoer, we were stuck with him for a while unless his performance was so bad that nobody else would take him.
re: interesting stat: Deboer is 0-4 beating double point spread on the road...
Posted by EastTXTide on 9/11/26 at 8:05 pm to bamabonners
This game is a great chance for DeBoer to show he has turned a corner. I’m not optimistic based on his first two years but hope I am pleasantly surprised.
re: any thoughts on SEC/LSU ?
Posted by EastTXTide on 9/9/26 at 11:22 am to Bamadoc
I’m absolutely sick of the lawsuits, the local judges, seventh year seniors, schools playing dirty with NIL and tampering and if this is the line in the sand the SEC draws to stop the nonsense then I support it. LSU happened to be the school that went all in: Kiffin, private equity, tampering, lawsuits, etc. so zero sympathy here for them.
re: Alabama Athletic Department needs to buckle up
Posted by EastTXTide on 9/7/26 at 6:47 am to UASports23
LSU had one good game, they have 11 left so let’s stop overreacting. However, Byrne does deserve criticism, mostly over scheduling. Why he scheduled difficult games against OSU, Notre Dame, or even FSU is beyond me. It was clear years ago that the way to go is to schedule a middle tier ACC/Big13 team + 3 cupcakes (back when the SEC was 8 games). We did that for a while during the Saban era when we opened against Duke and Louisville.

Alabama either can not or will not drop 45-50 million on a roster.
Apologies if this has been explained elsewhere but where are these 50M roster numbers coming from? Revenue share is capped at 20m and the House Settlement was supposed to make sure that NIL deals are legitimate fair market value business deals with third parties by running everything through a clearinghouse. I get that in the early days schools and collectives were doing whatever they want with no rules but now I don’t think any athletic department can spend more than 20M?

Posted by EastTXTide on 8/14/26 at 8:09 am to bamabonners
This is a non-issue but DeBoer has earned the skepticism and these types of discussions. The lack of attention to detail is obvious, from not being prepared for the weather for the Michigan game, to the team bus being late for the FSU game, to flat out not being ready for Vanderbilt, Oklahoma, Georgia and Indiana. It’s a pattern.
re: Nick Saban details how much Alabama's collective has spent on the football roster
Posted by EastTXTide on 6/7/26 at 8:12 am to TideSaint
Crazy how quickly things escalated. I remember Saban saying in 2022 that Bryce Young made about $1M. That was back when NIL was actually NIL. Then the three Texas schools and Tennessee realized they could just get away with blatant pay for play and now QBs I have never heard of and that have accomplished nothing are getting 5-6M.

You need to think of it as a vote for Trumps agenda. Paxton may have personal flaws but he will vote with Trump 100% of the time. Not voting for him is the same as a vote for the Schumer/Pelosi/Schiff agenda.
