Alabama Football: Animosity between the Crimson Tide and Auburn has never been higher than it was in 1908. The result was 41 seasons of avoidance.
There are so many great Iron Bowl stories from an Alabama football perspective. Some fans today complain it is not an ‘Iron Bowl’ and has not been since it left the formerly, steel city of Birmingham. Legendary, Auburn coach, Shug Jordan often gets credit for coining the ‘Iron Bowl’ name in 1964. Others say credit belongs to one or two members of the Birmingham press. ‘Press’ was what sports reporters were called then.
