This Iron Bowl is how rivalries should look

AUBURN, Ala. -- Saturday's epic Iron Bowl on the Plains is what all rivalry games should look like.

When No. 1 Alabama (11-0, 7-0 SEC) travels to see fourth-ranked Auburn (10-1, 6-1), it will be the first time these two get together with the SEC Western Division title and a shot at the BCS title game on the line. A year removed from these programs going in opposite directions, the Iron Bowl has real life and really high stakes.

"This is why you play the game; to play in a game like we're going to play at the end of the year where all of the marbles are on the line, and here we go," Auburn athletic director Jay Jacobs said.

I remember when Coach Bryant and Shug Jordan use to come into this game and Chris Jackson was the announcer. Every year it is like the rest of the year will be sad or joyous according to who wins. Nothing else mattered, the season was either a win or lose as to how this game turned out. This seems to be one of those years.
A fumble here, an interception there, or a blocked punt or FG could mean the rest of this year is fun or kinda unfinished. Let's say no injuries, and good honorable football and see who is the best. Let us just say on this end I hope it is Alabama, but I'm sure down in the wire grass area they hope auburn. RTR!
