The Iron Bowl is optional? Count Al Del Greco among the former Auburn stars who isn’t on board with Pat Dye’s latest comments on the rivalry’s future.
The former Auburn kicker says the Iron Bowl is a must – “end of subject” – in a tweet posted Wednesday.
Got to play the IB every year. End of subject!!! https://t.co/LeYNcMjd7G
Del Greco was responding to an Alabama fan, who had cited GN’s story about Dye’s remarks on the Iron Bowl. Dye, who coached at Auburn from 1981-92 and has the field named after him, said moving the Tigers to the SEC East was more important than continuing the conference’s most intense rivalry.
