re: Who is Alabama's biggest rival?

Auburn really didn't start to become a bigger rival until the mid 80's.

I would actually say that the Bama-AU game became a rivalry in the 70's, at least that's the way I see it. I was a kid, but remember being distraught after the Punt Bama Punt game.

And the Aubs, while certainly having their ups and downs over the years, always seemed to frick our seasons up when we'd least expect it.
