Lane Kiffin In Tuscaloosa Bar Strikes Fear In The Hearts Of 'Bama Fans
Reader Daniel sends along this picture, noting it was supposedly taken in a Tuscaloosa bar after Nick Saban invited the oft-fired coach to evaluate the Crimson Tide offense the previous week.

Angry Alabama Fan Drops The Best Burn On Colin Cowherd
Paul Finebaum welcomed ESPN radio personality and rat-faced gasbag Colin Cowherd onto his radio show yesterday, and the two did some chatting about Auburn's stunning win over Alabama in the Iron Bowl. Cowherd apparently had some not-nice things to say about Alabama during his segment. Big mistake, C...
Nick Saban Will Not Be Replacing Mack Brown At Texas
Nick Saban and Alabama have agreed on a contract extension and Kirk Herbstreit broke the news. All that's known at this point is that it is a long-term extension and his base salary will be somewhere between $7 and $7.5 million per year. None of this means anything. ...
No, ESPN Didn't Accidentally Leak Nick Saban As The New Texas Coach
We received this tip about ESPN using an interesting slug for a story about Mack Brown resigning. (The bookmarks bar is blacked out to hide identity.) Did Nick Saban sign a five-year deal to be the new Longhorns coach? Nah. It's fake....
Poor Mark Ingram Had To Wear Auburn Gear Yesterday
Saints running back Mark Ingram played college ball at Alabama, a team which you may remember losing the Iron Bowl in spectacular fashion to Auburn last week. It looks like Ingram made some kind of bet on the game with one of his teammates, because he showed up to practice yesterday decked out in Au...
Auburn's Field Goal Return Was Even Rarer Than You Think
The insane ending to last week's Iron Bowl had sports fans wondering if any college football game had ever ended in such an improbable fashion. NCAA records show that even in the missed-field-goal-returned-for-touchdown department, Chris Davis's score was especially rare....
The Dumb Iron Bowl Question You Were Afraid To Ask
I watched the Iron Bowl on Saturday and after basking in the glorious HOLYSHIT-ness of it all, I wondered what would happen if you returned a field goal in the middle of a game but failed to bring it all the way to the house. Do you get the ball at the spot you returned it? Or does the ball automa...

If you happen to find out who this jerk-ass non-tipper is, you are hereby ordered to yell "U Mad?????" right in his face, many times over....
Where Does Verne Lundquist Rank The Iron Bowl All-Time?
Uncle Verne was cagey about this one. He's seen a lot of sports history—more than 50 years of it—and he was understandably wary about trying to contextualize an amazing Alabama-Auburn game just two days later. But Newsday's Neil Best tried to pin him down: what's the greatest sporting event he's eve...
Alabama's Kicker Should Stay Off Of Twitter For A While
Alabama placekicker Cade Foster missed all three of his field goal attempts in last night's 34-28 loss to Auburn. Because of his bad night, Nick Saban brought in backup Adam Griffith, whose one and only miss was returned by Chris Davis for the game-winning touchdown. Some Crimson Tide fans found Fo...
Ohio State Reacts To Auburn Upset Over Alabama
Whether Ohio State will actually get to, or deserves to play in, the BCS Championship is a debate we only have to endure for a few more months. Nevertheless, OSU is undefeated and Alabama no longer is. The Buckeyes are in a better position than they were when they barely survived Michigan and they'r...
Hear The Auburn And Alabama Radio Calls From The Missed-FG Runback
This is the incredulously jubilant call from the Auburn booth. Rod Bramblett stars again this week with a guttural "They're not gonna keep them off the field tonight."...
The Game-Tying And Game-Winning Auburn Touchdowns In A Wild Iron Bowl
Auburn began the drive on its own 35 with 2:15 left in the game, down seven. Six consecutive rushes from Tre Mason later and the Tigers were Alabama 39 with 32 seconds left.

Auburn Has This One Sewn Up
The offenses are bursting at the seams! A.J. McCarron just threaded the needle! He's got the Heisman sewn up! I already used that one, crap! What's next, the Ironing Bowl?...

Saturday's Iron Bowl Gets The Wacko Taiwanese Animation Treatment
The Taiwanese studio Next Media Animation, which will animate pretty much anything nowadays, have offered their calculatingly bizarre take on this weekend's Auburn-Alabama rivalry game. Come for the players attacking a giant panda, stay for the Toomer's Corner oaks being destroyed (again) by urine a...
Bama Fan Pol Accused Of Soliciting Sex From Child Pleads Impotent
Former Mobile County commissioner Freeman Jockisch is facing charges of soliciting sex from a 15-year-old girl on Craigslist, but he's not letting those accusations get in the way of his Alabama fandom.
