With the last 2 Heisman winners being an Alabama WR and QB, a reminder that when Nick Saban asked "is this how we want football to be?" he wasn't asking a rhetorical question. He just wanted to know how y'all wanted him to whip you.

If only there were 5 years of time to build a facility in the LA area so softball players could have the full Olympic experience. And that facility could also possibly be a WCWS host in the future. What a wasted opportunity.

Just so we're clear in the 12 team playoff that we're adopting the Clemson and Kansas State teams that got hammered by Tennessee and Alabama would be auto-qualifiers but Tennessee and Alabama would not.

So let me get this straight. People are actually making the argument that Georgia didn't go all out in the SEC Championship? So Georgia, in the second biggest game of the year with a chance to knock Alabama out of the CFP before it started...didn't try? Ridiculous.

Alabama went 14-4 against Super Regional teams and 6-1 against WCWS teams this year. Just goes to show that in sports with tournaments it's not always the best teams it's the teams playing the best at the right time.

To the Auburn softball fan who screamed it at me down on the plains, yep "just like football." You'll be watching Bama advancing further along in the postseason after you lost to a non Power 5 school. Excuse me while I giggle.

Tennessee was mad Bobby Pierce flipped his bat after the homer? GTFOH
The bat landed by the Tennessee dugout, Tony Vitello then threw the bat back at the Auburn dugout in the middle of the Auburn players. Thatโs what set things off.

The naysayers (and there were many) were informed. So freaking proud of this team who absolutely never gave up. Back to OKC for the 4th time in the last 6 years! Absolutely incredible job by everyone wearing crimson today! And if they ain't wearing crimson...
So unbelievably proud of this team. They had so many opportunities to give up this season and absolutely refused to do it.

I get it. Football gets the lion's share of coverage especially at this time of year and some outlets only cover football. But if you claim to cover "Alabama athletics" you should be covering this historic season. The players and coaches deserve some good, un-snarkey recognition.
Can't say enough about how freaking proud I am of

. Disrespected from the word go and proved themselves again and again. Refused to quit and will go down as one of the greatest Bama softball teams in history. Love them as players and more as people. What a year.

For a team that celebrates every home run like Randy Orton after hitting an RKO, Tennessee baseball really doesn't like it when the opponent is happy when they have success. Can't wait to watch them lose in Supers.

Tennessee got upset over this celebration? First of all, this wasn't over the top at all. And secondly, I know you're not used to it Tennessee, but when you're number 1 in the country teams are going to be happy when they beat you.
I reiterate 2 points.
1. The remains no metric for Oregon to be ranked ahead of Alabama outside of "their loss was more entertaining than Bama's."
2. A grown man named "Boo" should not be in charge of anything.

First of all, Alabama was one of if not the most historically prominent and successful programs in college football before Saban got here and will continue to be even though he's leaving. That being said, the last 17 years have been the most remarkable tenure in college 1/?

So I've been hearing about how tough it is to play in Death Valley and just assumed LSU was undefeated there. That didn't sound right so I checked. Fun fact, Alabama is 25-8-2 all time there. That's quite the home field advantage indeed.

I know I'm not the first to make this observation, but it's true. The non-FSU affiliated people aren't mad that FSU is out. They're mad Bama is in. They wrote that obituary in September and have been made a fool of, as per usual, when you write off the ๐.

@MontanaFouts

For improvement in the pace of play in college softball, what needs to happen is larger and more consistent strike zones. Small and inconsistent zones are the direct cause of the volume of walks and foul balls that result in 3+ hour long regulation games.

After 2 reviews they overturned thatbthe runner on 3rd didn't tag so it ended up "just" being a double play. Beaver then struck out the final batter. Still one of the most amazing plays I've ever seen!

To the surprise of no one who has been paying attention, Alabama is hosting for the 19th consecutive year! Hope to see everyone out at Rhoads this weekend!! The most frustrating thing for me is the social media commentary that is the most angry and pessimistic is not from rivals.
