Alabama football notes: Kalen DeBoer debut season to be featured in offseason Docu-series


Well, keep your eyes peeled, as Fox Nation is doing a mini documentary series on the first season at Alabama without Nick Saban:

Alabama football remained at the center of the college football universe as it transitioned from Nick Saban to Kalen DeBoer. This February, Crimson Tide fans will have a chance to see what that transition looked like.

FOX Nation, a streaming service run by FOX News, will release “The Tides That Bind: Inside Alabama Football,” a six-episode documentary series that will include interviews with DeBoer, safety Malachi Moore, quarterback Jalen Milroe, wide receiver Ryan Williams and others.

According to a release from FOX Nation, the documentary series will “delve behind the scenes of the team as they adapt to a year of unprecedented change” with highlights from spring ball, summer workouts and fall camp through the 2024 regular season and postseason.

I’m sure there will be plenty of Alabama fans immediately complaining that the coaches shouldn’t be spending time making movies instead of practicing…. But you’ll all watch anyway. It’ll be interesting to see what direction the producers take, and just how much info DeBoer is/was willing to give away, or if he sticks to his usual coach-speak to give away a whole lot of nothing.

The first episode drops on February 19th.

We also have a new video from the AL.com podcast with former Alabama receiver, Slade Bolden, telling a bunch of his favorite stories from his time in Tuscaloosa:

Yesterday, Alabama AD Greg Byrne made a few headlines with his suggestion about teams forfeiting a game over field/court stormings. While I want to agree with the sentiment… Imagine a bunch of Tennessee fans dressing up in Bama gear, then storming Bryan-Denny after the Tide wins -how could a governing body ever prove that it wasn’t Bama fans storming the field?

Alex Scarborough of 247 gives a pretty level suggestion here:

But I have what I feel is a pretty good solution. It takes the current financial penalty a step further and it influences future competition.

Storm the field and lose a home game.

It’s that simple.

If it’s a non-recurring opponent, it would be up to the conference’s discretion to choose the home game the offender would lose the next season, forcing them to go on the road instead.

If it is a recurring opponent, then the offender would lose its next home game against said opponent. In basketball, the home-road switch would play out the next season. So if you’re Alabama and Auburn storms the court this season, then you get to host the IBOB twice next year.

In football, the impact would be delayed a year. Using the Iron Bowl as an example again, if you’re Alabama and Auburn were to storm the field this coming season, you would keep your home game in 2026 and get an additional home game in 2027.

The $100k fines or whatever clearly mean absolutely nothing – to the schools or the fans. But losing a home game? That would have the teams putting up barbed wire fences within the month to make sure their own fans didn’t do something stupid.

Alternatively, I think it would also be just fine for the schools come up with a way to make the field rush a more controlled things. Let them celebrate on the field… But they have to line up at the corners first, and the police will open the gates once the players are off the field.

We will be happy to hear your thoughts
