Rules are different in CFB playoffs. All coaches (HC and assistants) must be made available to media interviews. Same with players. All must be made available. Saban usually doesn't allow freshmen to do interviews during season (Hurts never spoke to media after games last year until the...

Give Pruitt a break and let him finish what he started. After that, he'll give his all for Tennessee. No doubt about that. Right now, he has given everything he has to help Bama get a title (and in doing so, get himself a ring, too). He and Bama didn't win it a year ago. And he wasn't the DC two...

Kirby Smart was Bama's defensive coordinator for the first national title game against Clemson. He stayed on with Bama to serve as DC for the playoffs after he was hired as Georgia's coach.

Absolute best statement in the entire news conference. He was emphatic. I also think his refusal to look backward, to not even discuss past UT games with Bama, says a lot about his focus. He is smart, tough, and loyal to his players. He will make an outstanding coach.

Not quite. Fulmer lost both games he coached against Saban at Alabama (in 2007 and 2008) by a combined 70-26 score. Bama's 11-game winning streak against the Vols started with those two wins over Fulmer.

OK, that's one out of about 45 Bama players on NFL current rosters. Probably a couple more that will be busts. But a low percentage considering how many are in the NFL. I'd guess 30 are starting, though a couple are out with injuries right now. Some (like Jackson, Cooper, Howard and Ingram lit...

Dude, seriously lay off the pipe. You left off these names: Calvin Ridley Damien Harris Bo Scarbrough Najee Harris Josh Jacobs Rashaan Evans Levi Wallace Anthony Averett Lester Cotton Da'Shawn Hand (injured, back in couple of weeks) Shaun Dion Hamilton Matt Womack Bradley Bozeman...

Worst thing is that it's ridiculous to flip off people off when you're still down by 21 points. Might have meant something otherwise.

You'll be treated fine. If you get a chance, go to the Bryant Museum. It's on the east side of Bama's campus, across the street from the coliseum. Yes, it celebrates Bama football, but also a lot of SEC stuff in there. Most restaurants around campus, or downtown will be crowded on a game day...

Yes, of course it's a rivalry. Saturday's game will be the 100th game between these two teams. Winning streaks come and go but the rivalry will always be there. By Scarbinsky's logic, Ohio State and Michigan isn't a rivalry anymore either, since OSU has dominated it over the last few years. And...

The Vols have the No. 122-ranked rushing defense in the country, and that is a huge problem against Bama, which has one of the nation's best rushing offenses. There is no chance to stop Bama offensively if the Vols can't stop their rushing. So no matter what the Vols manage on offense (and it...

Saban is always going to praise the opponent. He'll even find a way to praise Mercer when Bama plays them in a few weeks. What was interesting about this presser is that he seemed to like how Bama played against Arkansas, even though they had their first couple of turnovers for the season. Still...

True that Vols are likely to lose the Bama game by a big margin, but there's one possible mitigating factor: Bama has to play two decently tough games over the next two weeks, including A&M in College Station Saturday and back home against Arkansas a week later. They'll beat both of them by...

It may be difficult to hear, i believe there is no choice right now but to stay the course with Butch for another year—maybe with some personnel changes in the coaching staff. I know the wildly popular thing is to say, "fire him now." I get it. I understand it. I also think it would be a huge...
