In saying that, hasn't he become engrained in the Gump/Auburn culture? I mean he has become the go to person in the state when it comes to all things AL/AU football.
I see what you are saying, but he hasn't made the rivalry what it is. He is a popular blip in a long history of heated contests. However, in no way is he needed to give an accurate account for the intesity of the rivalry.

I disagree. I remember hearing him in the late 80's when I was driving through for spring break.

Again, I disagree. His whole whole is to rile the other side up. Much like political talk radio, he riles up the lowest common denominator.
Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that the rivalry didn't exist before him. But, over the last 20 years he has elevated the anger level.
His rise in Alabama also exploded the same time that sports talk and the internet exploded. He has done nothing but fuel that fire/anger to the point it is easy to call someone a name behind a key board or a cell phone.
My two cents. You have to include him.
