Somehow every single year I question how in the world we got to this point.
Auburn and Alabama. The Iron Bowl. As inevitable as time itself, it always shows up.
Poll most of the people in the state and you’d probably find a large majority that don’t enjoy this game. The threat of defeat is too great to properly enjoy this game. The joy of winning is great, and in modern times it means that you’re going on to do something great. For Auburn, beating Alabama usually means that you’re playing the next weekend as well. This weekend, it’s about something different.
