New entries into rivalry grasping the ’Bama-Auburn feel
TUSCALOOSA — Alabama forward Riley Norris tried to explain the Alabama vs. Auburn rivalry to teammate Ar’Mond Davis recently. The attempt ended with Davis laughing it off and continuing with his carefree nature.
Norris, from Albertville, said it’s hard to get across the true magnitude of the rivalry, especially to someone like Davis who grew up in Tacoma, Wash. Norris isn’t worried, though. He knows the second Davis walks into Auburn Arena on Saturday it will hit him pretty quick.
“He’ll figure it out in warmups,” Norris said. “When we go out there and he sees how hostile it really is.”
