Hello and Welcome to the Alabama Football Podcast! We’re glad you found us.
But who are we? Fair question. We’re Tom and Dave, Alabama graduates and big college football fans. However, we have a unique and intense passion for the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Over the years we’ve spent countless hours talking about the Alabama Football team and one day in 2010 we got the idea that we should turn our idle talk into a podcast, and so was born the Alabama Football Podcast. The original podcast branded as such.
In early 2014 we were offered the opportunity to merge our football podcast with BamaHammer dot com, one of the leading Alabama sports sites around and we’re looking forward to using this platform to help us reach and forge relationships with even more Alabama fans who enjoy a little intelligent and opinionated football talk.
We trust you’ll enjoy our show and we welcome your feedback.
We’re reachable via the BamaHammer website or directly at AlabamaFootballPodcast (@) gmail dot com.
In the meantime, Roll Tide.

2022 College Football Championship Alabama Vs. Georgia
2022 College Football Championship Alabama vs Georgia
Alabama Football Podcast breaks down the ebb and flow of a well contested national championship.
Well, That’s a Wrap
Not exactly how we would have drawn it up, but at what point during the season would we have staked that claim? Perhaps after the season opener but it was all fits and starts after that. However, through it all, it was almost perfect.
Bryce Young is a Champion
Young played well enough to win; he just needed a little more help in a couple critical situations. We talked about it but check out Matt Wyatt’s summary for all the truth you’ll need.
Jamo was Jamo
Jamison went out on his shield, doing what he did best for Alabama all season long. Big play dialed up in response to Georgia tying the score and Jamison Williams answered the call. We never root for injury, but Shakespeare never wrote a tragedy any better.
Roll the Dice with Brian Robinson
Second guessing play calls is our birthright as fans, especially when the Tide didn’t run the ball enough for our liking. We try to not be overactive in our space, but truth is when Alabama set up shop 1st and goal at the 5… I’d have called it 4 down territory and kept it on the ground until we score or we don’t.
Defensive Moments
Will Anderson, Christian Harris, Dallas Turner, Phil Mathis, and Brian Branch all came up big in spots for the Tide defense. Kyree Jackson, for a brief moment, had the most unlikely of ‘play of the day’ moments. Together it was enough for a lead in the 4th quarter and nearly enough to win.
Check out the podcast for more discussion on these and many other topics.
Next Up
As the 2021 season comes to rest, its important to consider the legacy of this team, as well as the seeds planted for 2022. Stay with us, there’s lots more to come this off season.

2021 Alabama Vs. Cincinnati
2021 College Football Playoff Round 1 Alabama vs Cincinnati
Alabama Football Podcast breaks down the Tide’s workmanlike performance in their CFP Round 1 outing against the Bearcats of Cincinnati.
Cincy Proved they Belonged
Let’s get this out of the way. Cincy did enough in their round 1 outing, in my mind, to justify their inclusion. That’s not an open invitation for any other Group of 5 wannabe or wish-they-were. Its merely an acknowledgement that Cincy proved the edge case. Besides, they provided more worthy than many other round 1 combatants over the years.
Brian Robinson Superman
Demonstrating no lingering effects of a recent hamstring pull, Robinson set the pace with his record-breaking performance. While ironically scoring no points himself, Brian provided the bulk of the Tide’s chain moving offense.
Metchie by Committee
Alabama backfilled for the missing John Metchie mostly as predicted. Multiple receivers and tight ends received reps and targets and touchdowns that may have been destined for a healthy John Metchie. However, most surprising was Jamison Williams reprising the possession receiver role. Part decoy and part dependable receiver, Jamo displayed a low-key facet to his game.
Defense All Night Long
Without question Alabama put up one of their best – arguably the best – defensive performance of the season. Holding the Bearcats to 218 total yards of offense. Multiple Tide defenders registered their best performances of the season.
Touchdowns 25% Off
Say it with me, they’ll give you the ball on the 25 for free if you’ll just fair catch it. I recognize KO returns are exciting and sometimes even necessary, but more often they are empty stats and unnecessary injury risks.
Check out the podcast for more discussion on these and many other topics – along with a much more colorful rant on Jamo’s KO return attempt.
Mini Game balls
Anyone can read a headline, but which players contributed in more subtle ways to the Tide’s fortune?
Next Up
History repeats itself as Alabama squares off once again with the Georgia Bulldogs in the National Championship game.

2021 SEC Championship Alabama vs Georgia
2021 SEC Championship Alabama vs Georgia
Alabama Football Podcast breaks down an outstanding performance registered by the Crimson Tide in winning another conference championship.
Prelude to a Heisman
Against a defense previously believed to be impenetrable, Alabama’s Bryce Young clocked 461 yards of total offense and 4 touchdowns.
New Center of Attention
The third time may be the charm as 3rd string Center Seth McLaughlin makes his first start for the Crimson Tide and proves a stabilizing influence to a much-maligned unit.
Indefensible
Alabama doesn’t make it to the SEC Championship without the outsized contributions from transfer receiver Jamison Williams. He’s speed and proved to be a riddle with no solution for the Bulldog defense.
De Mark Made
Alabama Defensive back Demarco Hellams made a pair of critical plays against Georgia that may be lost to history given the collection of outstanding performances turned in Saturday by Crimson Tide players. A touchdown saving pass defection coupled with a score preventing interception significantly impacted the final margin.
Check out the podcast for more discussion on these and many other topics.
