Hey, y'all! We're grateful for all of the recent follows and salutations. We almost forgot that we'd put this infographic together as an introduction! Might as well keep it pinned, too. Thanks, everyone! Reach out if you need anything!

Save some lung capacity for next year! Cigars! Today on Takin' On Sports: the Tide, UGA, Vandy, a Bad Carson Beck sighting, UAB, Napier, and who's next? Plus, a crazy NFL, MLB, and a wrap up. thealabamatake.com/p...

Takin' On Sports comes at you today! Bama, Hoosiers, Texas, Georgia, USC = good; Penn State (bye James Franklin), SEC refs, Auburn's offense = bad. The American is almost as fun as the Big 12, OSU is probably the best team, next week's schedule, UAB, NFL, Aces dynasty, MLB playoffs.

This week on Taking It Down: 'Black Rabbit' may not work for all, but there are reasons why it still fascinates; 'The Last Frontier' is DOA; 'Chad Powers' has tension; 'The Lowdown' says something; 'Task' makes one of the best episodes of TV this year. thealabamatake.com/p...

This week from The Alabama Take: Takin' On Sports begins rotating to Tuesday and then back to Monday starting tomorrow. Get your college football (and more) analysis tomorrow morning. Taking It Down still releases each Tuesday morning. We Are A Star War will air a new podcast on Wednesday.

In case you missed the news from @takinonsports.bsky.social, they’ll be on a new schedule going forward.

Takin’ On Sports @takinonsports.bsky.social · 8d

Programming note: Greg is on a new work schedule, so our release schedule is gonna get a little wonky for the time being.

We will record tomorrow night, and the show will release Tuesday. Next week, we’ll record as usual on Sunday and the show will post Monday. It’ll alternate like that for awhile.

Go back to James Dean, and every generation has the leading man. Is Chalamet this generation DiCaprio? Culture writer Jake Elliff has the evidence, and the proof is there. Read his argument here, and feel free to swoon a bit: thealabamatake.com/b...

This week, we've got class reunions, 'Chad Powers' trying to come back, 'Monster' is lacking, 'Bad Rabbit' on Netflix, 'The Lowdown' shines on Hulu, and more on 'Task' and the bikers.

Plenty of TV this week from Taking It Down: 'Chad Powers,' 'Monster' on Netflix, 'Bad Rabbit,' 'The Lowdown' on Hulu, and 'Task.' Check it out! thealabamatake.com/p...

The Alabama Take @thealabamatake.com · 14d

Alabama does not look bad in a revenge win. What's wrong with Penn State? Is it Miami's year? Where does Texas fall in this? All that, plus the MLB playoffs in October and the WNBA Finals. A good week on Takin' On Sports!

Down go the mighty Commodores... no, seriously. Also, what in the world is happening at Penn State? Is Texas actually good? Maybe this is actually Miami's year?...

As each Friday in college football season continues, our writers make their best bets on The Alabama Take around 4:30 p.m. So far, it's a bit of a disaster, but those are also a lot of fun to watch. Just ask Dabo Swinney. (Or don't.) thealabamatake.com/b...

Know that sweet voice that begins a lot of our podcasts? Well, she really wants to add a little more to the fundraiser to her Fun Run, which helps raise money for her very good school's playground equipment. Would you want to help? www.getmovinfundhub....

Taking It Down, our very own TV podcast, comes out each Tuesday. This week, they talk 'The Lowdown,' 'Black Rabbit,' 'Task,' and 'Alien: Earth.' On the spoiler side of things, they get some tough discussions going about episode three of 'Task' and the ending of 'Alien: Earth.' Well worth the listen!

The Alabama Take @thealabamatake.com · 21d

The guys are back this week and it was another fantastic week of football starring Kadyn Proctor, plus a lot more. thealabamatake.com/p...

There are plenty of NFL teams who need a win and snap the 0-3 start. There are a few of our writers who need a win, too. This week on Taking Bets: thealabamatake.com/b...

The Alabama Take @thealabamatake.com · 27d

This week on what's been hailed as one of the best TV podcasts, if not THE best, it's the second episode of 'Task,' the fourth and fifth episodes of 'Alien: Earth,' and some news on Adam's band Sister Ray Davies. Tune in each Tuesday! thealabamatake.com/p...

This week on the TV podcast Taking It Down, it's a lot of good streaming options, the first episode of 'Task,' two episodes of 'Alien: Earth,' and finalizing the second season of 'Blue Lights.' They say it's one of the best episodes to date? thealabamatake.com/p...
