Alabama Unwittingly Predicts Future Failure
The sign you see here has apparently popped up in the Alabama locker room to serve as both motivation and a reminder to always learn and improve. It's a pretty well-worn sentiment, a sort of weight-room Cliff's Notes of Santayana's condemned-to-repeat-the-past quote. But the message is clear: if you...

Last night we tuned into the Tuscaloosa police scanner to see if any Alabama fans would go on a criminal rampage after the Crimson Tide's Sugar Bowl upset at the hands of Oklahoma.

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.

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...

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.
