What another great Rivalry this is. I know there is alot of bitterness in this rivalry compared to Ohio State and Michigan. Everyone in Alabama lives for this one day. I have talked with many fans from both schools and they too have thier stories to tell. Wow.

Who would have ever thought that the Iron Bowl would take a backseat to Kansas/Missouri?

This is one of the least important Iron Bowls I can EVER recall (9 losses combined (South Florida? UL-Monroe?), a likely shot at the Independence Bowl).

BTW, I like Auburn.

This is, as Jax would say, a "Hate" game more than a rivalry.

It's a cute little game that causes so much animosity that family members literally kill each other over it.

What gets me is how frequently children grow up to root for their parents rival. A 'bama fan at work currently has a son at Auburn.

When I found this out, I expressed surprise. He lividly and adamantly "observed" that if I lived close to Ann Arbor that I'd send my son to Fuckwad University (or whatever the name of the school in Ann Arbor is).

No...
Fucking...
Way...

I didn't press the point, because it was clear he wouldn't believe me anyway. But they just don't get it. There is just no way that I would send my son to Fuckwad U. No way.

They may hate each other.

They may shoot each other.

But the idea that their cute little Iron Bowl is anywhere near the same galaxy as The Game is too ridiculous to even laugh at.

:lol:

This is so accurate. I have a good friend whose parents attended Auburn and Alabama. He's a good friend and applied to both schools, getting in to both. However, he is unsure as to which he wants to attend.

With that type of shit, I feel safe saying that there is no way in hell that this rivalry comes even close to the likes of scUM-OSU.

Coach Nick Saban cites 9-11, Pearl Harbor to show challenges facing Tide

Coach Nick Saban cites 9-11, Pearl Harbor to show challenges facing Tide, spokesman says

November 19, 2007

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) -- Alabama's latest loss has coach Nick Saban searching for ways to motivate his team.

Citing the 9-11 terrorist attacks and Pearl Harbor, Alabama coach Nick Saban said Monday his team must rebound like America did from a "catastrophic event."

In this case, that would be an embarrassing 21-14 loss Saturday to Louisiana-Monroe.

"Changes in history usually occur after some kind of catastrophic event," Saban said during the opening remarks of his weekly news conference. "It may be 9-11, which sort of changed the spirit of America relative to catastrophic events. Pearl Harbor kind of got us ready for World War II, or whatever, and that was a catastrophic event."

Exactly. My kids were both told that they could go to any college to which they were admitted. They were also told that if that college was TSUN or Ntre Ame they were paying for it entirely by themselves. To their credit, they knew I wasn't joking.

Overrated rivalry, IMO!

Conference titles are not at stake as often as THE GAME, very rarely are both teams highly ranked, and what the hell's at stake this year? A berth in the Independence Bowl?

KU/Mizzou for me Saturday night.

Classic stuff ...


Liked this bit ...

Reporter three, finishing a three inch piece of brisket: “Um, coach, I think we might want to move on to a different line of questioning…”
Saban: “…or maybe like man versus bear fights. If you’re like me, you just get it into your blood after a while: a man, an unmuzzled bear, and a dimly lit pit filled with cash. There’s just nothing like it, really, especially when you’ve got an immigrant in there. You know, an illegal playing for a fake green card, or better yet for the lives of one of his kidnapped relatives. Whew, I tell you what: they’ll fight like crazy for their kidnapped family members.
Anyway, only the tough ones survive, and that’s what we’re talking about here. Toughness. We’ve just got to get tougher. Next question.”
Reporter three, gape-mouthed: “Um, coach…who was the best…um…bear fighter you’ve ever seen?”
Saban: “No question: Ed Orgeron. Any other questions? Any…
