Great for recruiting...unless you are Auburn. Then is probably hurts recruiting.

Gotcha, I took it as you making fun of some claiming the IB is just a Bama state thing.

I wonder if a CBS exec lost his job over that?

Makes sense now that ESPN is going to go all in to outbid CBS when that contract is up in a few years.

I'm not that type of poster, but I'd love to see the northern and west coast guys on the MSB argue around this one.

I got shite on in a thread about the Iron Bowl saturday. I was drunk, and it wasn't the most thought out thread( ), but they acted like the Iron Bowl was a damn high school chess matchup.

lol naw, not this time. I thought genro made that comment being sarcastic because so many like to say our rivalry only interests Bama and Auburn fans. So it made me laugh. I had no idea he was being serious.

Big ratings and congrats.

That said, espn set that one up by having no competition on in the evening time slot. The 3:30 slate was loaded with great games that would have cut into that.
