This holiday weekend is a pretty big deal for college football around the country. Once the turkeys have been carved and the pumpkin pies have been devoured, it’s time for football fans to turn on their televisions and watch all the games unfold over the next few days. This week is full of smack-talking, face painting, and fighting for bragging rights which will last an entire calendar year. There are plenty of in-state rivalries taking place this weekend; the Iron Bowl pits the Alabama Crimson Tide against their hated rivals the Auburn Tigers in what is always a hard-fought battle.
