Dang, any other school's have some super old fans with long game streaks. I remember hearing about a Tennessee fan who'd been to several hundred straight.

There might not have been Iron Bowls, if not for Coffee and Melton. Alabama and Auburn stopped playing each other in football when a dispute followed the 1907 game.
“Dick and I worked from 1946 to ’48 trying to get the professors and presidents and everybody on both campuses to resume the relationship,” Melton said. “He was instrumental in getting that done.
“Dick and I both worked on a committee from the University of Alabama. Auburn had a student committee working on their administrators and professional people over there, and finally the two presidents had a secret meeting at the University of Alabama farm in Coosa County. They both shook hands on it and agreed to resume the series.

Love it when ppl don't know how to use words.
The word you were looking for was fitting, not ironic. Nice insult fail there bro.

RIP Mr. Coffee. This man's accomplishment seems like a wasted life to me. I would hate to know that people only remembered me for attending football games.

You probably won't be remembered at all.
