"This transition was always going to require a little bit of runway," columnist @byCasagrande.bsky.social writes, "even if it’s marked by more potholes than what would have been tolerable for the previous decade and a half."

Columnist @bycasagrande.bsky.social writes that Alabama coach Kalen “DeBoer’s been a winner everywhere he’s coached. But everywhere isn’t Tuscaloosa. Straight up, he’s losing the benefit of the doubt.” Do you agree?

The rage is simmering but let's talk about the other side of this Kalen Deboer dilemma. What will it take to calm the mob? Thaw the frozen hearts? www.al.com/alabamafootb...

False AI-generated drivel like the posts below are produced by Facebook Groups are tricking tons of folks. Why? Columnist @ByCasagrande.bsky.social takes a look: https://www.al.com/alabamafootball/2025/06/searching-for-origin-of-fake-ai-alabama-football-facebook-posts-littering-your-feed.html

Back on the clock after parental leave. Thank you again to my employer for caring about families but it’s time to get back to business. Coverage from a crucial SEC spring meetings to some this week from Destin.

Programming note: I’ll be taking some time away after the birth of our second child so I won’t be as active on here for a bit. Our hearts are full and I’m blessed to work for a company that gives families time to bond while we grow. See you soon.

Alabama women’s basketball loses, 111-108 in double OT to Maryland in the NCAA tournament. Sarah Ashlee Barker scored a Crimson Tide school record 45 in the loss. The Alabama season ends with a 24-9 record, one win short of playing in the Sweet 16 in Birmingham.

Alabama will play a third straight school named after a person when it heads to the Sweet 16. Robert Morris St. Mary Brigham Young

The last time Alabama played a team that didn't make the NCAA tournament? Jan. 25. For Auburn? Jan. 29.

Since Feb. 15, Alabama's played just one currently unranked team. That's 8 of the final 9 teams. Of the final 5 games played, 4 were against top-6 teams in the AP poll.
