Iron Bowl Headlines

Will Alabama look ahead to Florida in the SEC Championship Game and lose it's seventh in a row to Auburn? If anyone has watched Dick Vitale broadcast a basketball game this week, you know that he is definitely looking past Auburn and to the SEC Championship Game. Mr. Vitale described Alabama's chances by saying, "They have no shot against the Florida Gators." Althought Mr. Vitale is looking past the Iron Bowl, I find it hard to believe that a team consisting of players that have never beaten their bitter rival will be looking past that team. I would chose a route canal over another loss to Auburn.


Rolando McClain might have some problems. This story died down fairly quickly, and that should be credited to Coach Saban who chose to handle this internally. No one knows what happened or who started what, but I am sure the gossip flowing smoothly from faternity row, across the quad and through the halls of Bidgood. I really doubt anything will come of this.


A National Championship and bowl eligibility both on the line for Alabama and Auburn. Nothing would make the Tigers happier than to play spoiler on the Crimson Tide's season. We all know that Auburn has never cared about winning National Titles. All Auburn has ever cared about is being the best team in the state of Alabama. Auburn's bowl eligibility is on the line, so with that gives Auburn a huge advantage and more to play for, but it evens out with Alabama playing for their first win in six meetings.


Can an Iron Bowl win save Tubberville's job? Nothing has made me more happy than to have Tubberville exposed for the smug ass that he is. A very relaxed and easy going guy when taking candy from a baby, but has had a very difficult time adjusting to Saban being in town. If Alabama comes out of this game with a win, Tubberville might be hesitant to talk about six in a row in order to save his job because the seven losses that would outnumber THE STREAK.
