I was watching the Ga Tech-Va Tech game today and I found myself wondering what it must've felt like walking around the state of Georgia when Georgia Tech actually had a fanbase way back when.

Bama fans, why exactly is Trent Richardson better than Mike Dyer? Alabama's got one of the best Olines in the nation, Dyer's running behind a bunch of new guys and they have basically even production.

What's the best Egg Bowl ever?

That photoshopped ABUURN picture has to be the most overachieving flame material ever. I have no idea how it gets so much mileage for being so poorly made, but here it is year after year.

Eating, drinking, drinking, tailgating, drinking some more, calling every opposing fanbase but Vanderbilt rednecks, drinking..

I like this guy

Why does the AU-UGA game matter

bama- some old arse game their defense was stonewalling someone and a journalist said their D looked like a crimson tide.

auburn- tigers? they drew a name from a hat. War eagle is something from one of the early wars, there was some batallion or something that used it as their battle cry and it ended up coming to the plains.


Am i right? I could be wrong.

War Eagle, according to legend, comes from an old confederate war eagle that I believe a professor had kept that flew around the stadium in the 1890 AU-UGA game. Students said 'hey, it's the war eagle!" etc.
War Eagle, how it probably happened, is during a pep rally in the 1920s where an ROTC student said Auburn was going to fight their asses off because "this means war". When he said that, he dropped a metal eagle medallion thing. When people asked him what it was, he said it was a War Eagle.

I'm skeptical. The worst thing about the Iron Bowl has been when you fan the flames and all the rednecks get riled up, and this could very potentially do that. Coincidentally, this is why I don't enjoy Finebaum.

I think I'm siding with Pete Fiutak on the topic of a rematch. It would be insanely unfair to LSU. Alabama would get another chance at LSU on a neutral field, and if they win they win the NCG? But LSU already beat Alabama at home!

Plus, I'm just gonna be honest, the only thing the SEC has left to prove after beating all the other relevant conference champs the last 5 years is to prove Boise State can't hang with a top-tier SEC team. Have Boise State play in the NCG, have them get smashed, and end the Boise question forever. It sucks they'd take up a potential spot, but Stanford doesn't exactly have a glowing resume. If Okie State wins out I'll support them getting in though.
