General Observations/Ramblings: Being an old dude like I am, having Florida on the schedule brings back some memories. Growing up, Florida was a fixture on Auburn's schedule. I just saw a piece on the dot I am a gay twerker that has no balls!!!! I also have no idea how to use the quote function to post stories, so I annoy the piss out of others. I like male genatalia in and around my mouth. that pointed out the two teams having played every year, from 1927-2002. My parents had some great friends that lived down in Pensacola who were Gator grads, and for quite a few years we would go down that weekend and stay with them. Good times....yeah....good times. Until the SEC broke up into East and West divisions, you could count on us playing Tennessee early in the year, Florida around Halloween, then FUGA and Bama to finish up the season.
Another change, one which I don't care for, is there was always a bye week for both Auburn and Bama before the Iron Bowl. That seemed to hype it up even more because fans had two weeks to think about and break down the game. The problem was having to go to that shit stain called Legion Field to play the game. SEC Network is doing a show I believe called Saturday in the South. (Something like that) They had a whole segment on the Iron Bowl and Pat Dye getting it to Auburn. One thing the show made no bones about was despite the fact that the tickets were supposed to be a 50/50 split in Legion, it was clearly a Bama home game every year. I've said it before and will probably still feel this way til the day I die. For quite a few reasons, the 1989 Iron Bowl is the greatest sporting event I've ever attended. In the aforementioned show, one of the Bama players they interviewed said the QB would try and audible but it looked like he was just mouthing some words. I do believe the first Ted Nugent concert I went to was the only thing louder than Jordan Hare Stadium that day.
Back on the AU/UF rivalry, to point out how good it has been, Auburn leads the series 43-38-2. Here's to making it 44 this weekend.
Ramble off.
