Iron Bowl Video Series - Part 4
The greatest celebration ever, led by my main king Q Groves. This was also Alabama's last regular season loss. Here's hoping for another one tomorrow!

Iron Bowl Video Series - Part 3
My namesake. This was during brighter times for Auburn, and has to be the greatest call Rod Bramblett has ever made.
I'm also enjoying posting these because I don't have to think up new stuff to write. I mean it's not like I update everyday anyway, but you catch my drift.

Iron Bowl Video Series - Part 2
The following is perhaps the greatest speech given in the history of man. Pat Dye led the 1989 Auburn Tigers to a 30-20 victory in the first Iron Bowl ever played in Jordan-Hare Stadium. Alabama was undefeated heading into the game, but on December 2, 1989, it was Auburn's day.
If mankind had the technology for a time machine, I'm pretty sure this speech would be played before D-Day, at the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and when the Berlin Wall fell.

Iron Bowl Video Series - Part 1
Throughout the week I'm going to be scouring YouTube for the greatest in Iron Bowl memories and moments. Although this wasn't in the Iron Bowl, it is one of the greatest interviews in the history of media. Enjoy.

Iron Bowl 2K9
Well the Iron Bowl is here, and Alabama will head into this game undefeated for the second straight year. This team has pretty much annihilated every offense they've faced this year, so Gus Malzahn is going to have to draw up one hell of a gameplan to beat Rolando McClain and company.
Surprisingly, this year's Iron Bowl has featured a little bit of trash talking heading into the week. Even with the terrible, awful things the two fan bases wish upon each other through message boards and such, I haven't heard a whole lot of chatter from these teams in awhile.
So here we go.
When asked about this year's Auburn team, Alabama QB Greg McElroy said, "It's not going to be any pressure. It's just going to be the same old team that we played last year."
This is a truly ridiculous statement. First of all, since all of the players are still in college, how old can they possibly be? 21, maybe 22 at the oldest? To call a team elderly is a new and bold strategy that may or may not backfire for Mr. McElroy. Considering this guy played behind that fatty Chase Daniel in high school and then the mighty JPW, he probably has a skewed sense of reality.
Also, McElroy really didn't do that much in last year's game. Sure he threw for a touchdown late in the game, but by that time I know that most of the Tigers had turned it in. One can only hope that the Auburn defense will figure out a way to introduce McElroy to Pat Dye Field many times, just like his ole buddy Brody Croyle.
The next comment I'm going to share with you comes straight out of the Crazy-verse. Comments by Ochocinco a.k.a. Child Please pale in comparison to this sort of lunacy. Alabama punt returner and CB Javier Arenas grew up in Florida, and apparently never heard of the football giant we like to call Auburn until he moved to the big city up in Tuscaloosa.
He said, "When I heard Carnell Williams went to Auburn, I thought it was a Division III school."
You may be asking, "Whaaaaa?"
Arenas hails from Tampa, Florida, where I'm pretty sure Auburn may have been once or twice on a recruiting visit. It is now obvious that Arenas was not recruited by Auburn, and was probably himself headed for the I-AA ranks before Bama scooped him up.
EDIT: It appears he was also recruited by Florida Atlantic. Are they D-1?
I am truly flabbergasted by such a display, but credit to Arenas for not knocking Auburn down to I-AA, but spiraling toward Division III and football anonymity.
Well, I've got to go rest my head after reading comments from these two media wizards. Hopefully the Auburn players can store these nuggets and use them as inspiration for leaving cold, lifeless bodies of Crimson Tide players on the field at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
I'll be back later on as more lunacy emerges.
War Damn Eagle!!

Georgia Week Is Here
As we move into Amen Corner, we first have this weekend's game with the Georgia Bulldogs. The Deep South's Oldest Rivalry has given us many things, but few things greater than when it combined my love of Golden Flake potato chips with the inspirational abilities of Tommy Tuberville.
