Description: As far as rivalries go Alabama-Auburn is
one of the best in sports. Alabama has
the upper hand on the football field (42-34-1) while Auburn is the clear winner
in game experience. EVERYTHING about
attending a game at Jordan-Hare is better when compared with Bryant-Denny, even
the name. Let’s start with THE BEST
GODDAMN TRADITION IN SPORTS! Watching
the WAR EAGLE glide from his perch to midfield is among the most emotional
things I’ve witnessed anywhere. I can’t
adequately describe it, it has to be witnessed in person. Here is a vid, it’s not the same but it gives
you an idea
Here’s where they release this BAD MOTHERFUCKER. Watch him fly around, it’s fucking amazing
let me tell you. I could watch these all
day.
The stadium is intimate and loud, the tail gate around the stadium is
relaxed and friendly. People just kind
of pick a spot and hang out there, it’s the exact opposite of Penn State (and
most places) but it works perfectly for Auburn. The campus and town mix
together seamlessly. It’s almost like a
big family farm.
The game wasn’t entertaining because Alabama’s defense was so damn
good. When I looked at the 42-14 score I
thought two things 1. I didn’t remember
Auburn scoring and 2. The game was
42-14, but it wasn’t even that close. Someday Nick Saban will die (well I think he
will, no one is quite sure) and Gus Malzon will have Auburn above Alabama and
we will return here for another big game, preferably at night. I want to see a night game at Auburn.
One additional note: We brought Dave to this game it was uncomfortably hot. We really didn't think this one through properly. Some people next to us took him in for the game. That kind of shit does not happen everywhere, let me tell you.

Don’t Miss: Tail gate, Toomers Corner Oak Trees, The
WAR EAGLE (if you are traveling a distance to see a game at Auburn you HAVE to
get there 30 mins before kick to be safe)
