Louisville-Auburn: A Rivalry 12 Years in the Making

@dewyulsc

Thirty-one years ago, the Auburn Tigers stymied a T.W. Alley coached Louisville Football team 16-3. Three decades have come and gone and thankfully the magicians of Chik fil A have cooked up a perfect way for these strangers to become reacquainted. Two programs, one slightly more storied than the other, destined to meet again. Some 12 years ago, an unsettled feud was ignited between the Tigers and Cardinals, September 5th, 2015 should launch Louisville and Auburn into a meaningful and legitimate college football rivalry.

I was a much younger Cardinal in 2003, we all were, and Louisville Fans were just beginning to warm up to our relatively unknown head coach, Bobby Petrino.
