Saban’s Crimson Tide, after all, racked up what many consider the nation’s number one recruiting class.

In that respect he's done all he could humanly be expected to do.

The alleged perpetrator of this vile act has been caught and incarcerated. The initial rush of outrage has subsided somewhat as both Auburn and Alabama fans settle into a ‘what now?’ mode. ]]> http://www.tigersx.com/my-2-cents/nations-fall-family-lasts-forever/feed/ 0 http://www.tigersx.com/my-2-cents/tradition-and-trees/ http://www.tigersx.com/my-2-cents/tradition-and-trees/#comments Thu, 17 Feb 2011 15:45:55 +0000 http://www.tigersx.com/?p=4463 The rivalry between Auburn and Alabama has always been known for its passion and intensity. The relative proximity of the two schools, the close familial relationships of the two fanbases and the history of success that each can boast is part of what makes the rivalry rise above all others. But there’s bad blood and then there’s malicious ignorance. ]]> http://www.tigersx.com/my-2-cents/tradition-and-trees/feed/ 0 http://www.tigersx.com/my-2-cents/damn-scarbinsky-is-this-the-best-you-can-do/ http://www.tigersx.com/my-2-cents/damn-scarbinsky-is-this-the-best-you-can-do/#comments Wed, 26 Jan 2011 19:57:19 +0000 http://www.tigersx.com/?p=4287 Kevin Scarbinsky, sports columnist for the Birmingham News, had a problem.
