That is skewed by the fact that Alabama got gutted by the ncaa from about 2000 to 2007.....
I didn't see any Auburn fans crying when Bama boosters paid an Auburn player to set them up. Still won games in the 90s.

Then you are not paying attention. The only time I have ever been at an Iron Bowl that I actually was afraid when I was leaving was 1991. This was an Auburn home game at Legion Field, and I had a friend who was an Auburn fan who got us tickets.
His girlfriend was an Alabama fan, so the three of us went to the game. Alabama won, and the walk out we were accosted by many Auburn fans. It was scary... and all about Ramsey/Frost.......
I have been to Iron Bowls since and it was not that bad (although my car was keyed at Auburn)

AU's probation was before the NCAA started taking away scholarships - all you got was a bowl ban. If you had lost ~30 scholarships then have the NCAA admit they made a mistake but OOPs too late to redress the issue - it would have been much different. Then the NCAA was mad because they were embarrassed so they redoubled their efforts to "get" Bama. They also used the window to intensify the penalties.
