Wow!
THIS football season has really flown by, and these two teams have both certainly been the story!
THE TIDE, as expected, has sailed through and is poised to have a chance for a berth in the
SEC Title Game AND a shot at an unprecedented
3rd Straight BCS Championship. The
tigers, surprisingly, are still in the hunt and can both derail
The CRIMSON TIDE's season
AND put themselves in that very same
SEC spot with a win. This is the most relevant
IRON BOWL for BOTH teams in recent memory.
Gus Malzahn has done a fine job in motivating this
tiger/plainsmen/war-eagle team and giving them focus. He has this team playing at a higher level than in the past, and has taken advantage of some VERY lucky breaks. He is certainly a lock for
SEC (
and possibly National) Coach of the Year.

All of this will be for naught, though, as
auburn's 'Cinderella Season' comes crashing to to a halt as
BAMA overpowers them and eventually buries them in their own cowpie-filled pasture. On the downside, the game is on CBS, so we have to listen to Verne & Gary.
IRON BOWL GameDay Pick:
ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE 31
auburn 17
