2024 was a weird (read: bad) year for a lot of college football teams in the state Alabama. Justin Ferguson, publisher of the Auburn Observer and all-purpose ball-knower in the state, joins Alex and Richard to discuss the state of things in a state that now has six FBS programs.1
How everyone’s feeling after the two Iron Bowl teams went a combined 7-9 in the SEC, tied for their worst joint record of the century
Why this will be an offseason of hope for Auburn, and why Hugh Freeze will have to deliver a lot early in the 2025 season
Alabama’s pivot away from in-state recruiting and Alex’s theory that the revenue-sharing era should be good to the Tide
UAB still has Trent Dilfer, and the Blazers coach is attempting the most blatant '“portal to save his job” maneuver that we’ve ever seen
South Alabama is at least a little interesting, if not quite “good”
Troy, however, is none of the above at the moment
Scott Cochran’s new Division II job makes waves
Jacksonville State nailed its FBS transition, won Conference USA, and has a new coach who can recruit
Thanks to Ferg, whose work at the Auburn Observer is excellent.
