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...

50 Years Of NCAA Football Realignment, Visualized
This Saturday's SEC championship game comes freighted with the awkwardness of college football realignment. Missouri, representing the "SEC East," will take on Auburn, representing the "SEC West," even though the latter lies a couple hundred miles closer to the Atlantic Ocean. Wacky!...
How Everyone Screwed Up On Washington's Mistaken First Down
Washington thought they had a first down. The chains moved. The stadium scoreboard said first down. Kyle Shanahan called the next play as if the Skins had a new set of downs. But the one person whose ruling mattered, referee Jeff Triplette, signaled third down. Chaos reigns....

Emotional Man Knowshon Moreno Has Turbocharged Tear Ducts
We saw an odd moment during today's Broncos-Chiefs broadcast on CBS when the network aired a clip of Denver running back Knowshon Moreno crying a copious amount of tears.

Watch ESPN Talent React Live To The Alabama-Auburn Final Play
We've already shared with you Ohio State fan reactions to the wild play that ended this year's Iron Bowl, but how did ESPN's college football studio team of Rece Davis, Mark May, and Lou Holtz respond to the improbable ending?

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.

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...

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.

Why Wasn't Unconscious Le'Veon Bell Given A Touchdown?
Your first thought is, Oh man, he's dead. His head came off or his brains are scrambled and Heath Miller is trying to cover up the on-field camera because he's dead. And then your second thought is, What do you mean it's not a touchdown? His limp, vacated body totally collapsed across the plane! Foo...
