Make this chippy Alabama-Auburn basketball feud annual | Goodbread Original
Alabama and Auburn basketball played a heated exhibition game in Birmingham, dubbed "The Feud." A scuffle broke out early in the game, resulting in four technical fouls being issued. The game, won by Alabama 87-84, was played with high intensity in front of a large, divided crowd. The author suggests the successful event should become an annual tradition due to its popularity and intensity.

College football regular season to suffer for CFP 24-team field | Goodbread
In theory, improved TV ratings are supposed to be a good thing for everyone involved with college football, from network executives to the NCAA and conference power brokers. It means more money for everyone other than advertisers, bottom line, so it's also good for coaches and, now that revenue sharing is here, athletes as well.

SEC football best week 8 prediction of the week against the spread Chase Goodbread Oct. 22, 2026, 4:02 a.m. CT Perhaps we should've started leaning into over-under selections sooner.

The Crimson Tide is looking to avoid three consecutive losses for the first time since Nick Saban's first season in 2007, and a season that began with 5-0 promise is suddenly teetering on the brink of disappointment.

Parsing Ryan Grubb's answer for Alabama football rushing woes | Goodbread
It can get as complicated as a coach wants to make it, of course, in the name of concepts like innovation and diversity. If one finds success with a new wrinkle, he can expect opposing coaches to, over time, develop a counter-wrinkle. But as wrinkles pile up and playbooks thicken like a first-edition copy of War and Peace, a corresponding strain is placed on other ever-important concepts. Things like a player's grasp and recognition, a lack of which can result in hesitancy or, worse, mental errors.
