November 2, 2024 – AUBURN, AL - the good news for Auburn is that the team does not get blown out. They fight hard, hit hard, show incredible toughness, and are tied or leading late in the fourth quarter in most of their games. The bad news is that Auburn loses all those close games.

The game with the Vanderbilt Commodores was tied 7 to 7 for a long, long time and Auburn was down only 3 points – until Vanderbilt iced the game wit...

November 9, 2020 – MONTGOMERY, AL. – the Alabama Gazette staff was divided on the Georgia and Ole Miss, South Carolina and Vanderbilt, and Alabama and LSU games.

Alabama thoroughly dominated LSU in a game that we all thought would have been close. Brandon and Christopher made the mistake of pic...

November 23, 2024- AUBURN, AL – Texas A&M's college football playoff dreams came crashing to Earth late on Saturday night when that A&M receiver dropped the pass in the endzone sealing an overtime win for the Auburn Tigers.

The Alabama Gazette Panel was shocked to see Oklahoma's overwhelming victory over the University of Alabama. Alabama was tasked with beating LSU, Oklahoma, and then Auburn and then they would be in the twelve team playoff. They got the first part of that accomplished; but failed miserably at beating 5 and 5 Oklahoma. Now they are outside the field of twelve looking in. They need to somehow beat Auburn in the Iron Bowl and hope for there to be chaos ahead of them as they need help to make the...
