Great story Sani. Coolest part was exactly what I was thinking....I'll bet no matter what's going down, you still gotta' wonder about the Iron Bowl.   

Exactly.


Awesome story sani...now I feel bad about eating prime rib that day.

I wouldn't.  I made my own choices to be there.  Plus I made up for it in '93.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

1983 I was in Germany on a nuke site and was suppose to be pulling guard. It was about 4:00am Local time-  Guard shack everybody was sleeping. I left the tv on when I left to go outside (AFN carried the game). While 3 nuclear weapons (pershing) were lonely and un-guarded Lawyer Tillman did the end around.

I hollered so loud they deployed the reaction Force. I hustled back to my spot and pretended to be hurt.

Faked a hurt back.

I've told this story before but you asked the question.

My favorite Iron Bowl was in 1989 "The First Time".  I was not there.  I did not get to watch it on TV.  I couldn't listen to it on the radio. 

The 6th or 7th coup attempt had just happened in the Philippines and we had been flown from Subic Bay to the embassy to reinforce it.  Shit was real. We had ordnance broken out that I didn't even know existed.  We proceeded to turn this beautiful compound into a defensive stand position that Gunny Highway would be proud of, full with razor wire, four foot deep bunkers, and trip wires.  I guess after Hue city and the shit during Carter's years they weren't taking any chances.  Anyway, over the next four days we proceeded to watch all the demonstrations just outside the compound and stay on complete edge wondering when the shit was gonna hit the fan, but through it all in the back of my mind I just wanted to know what happened in the iron bowl.  In fact that thought really preoccupied my mind which was probably a good thing.

Anyway fast forward four days.  The coup attempt is put down and we are sitting on the floor inside the embassy trying to relax before we catch the ch-46 back to Subic.  The U.S ambassador comes through thanking each one of us individually for what we had prepared for over the last four days.  He also asks each guy if we need anything.  Everyone is politely refraining from asking for anything.....Until he gets to me. 

I tell him I need the score of the Auburn/Alabama game.  Without speaking to one more person he about faces and walks out of the room.  Everyone thought I had pissed him off.  Five minutes later he walked back in the room with a piece of white paper that had just come off of the secure line dot matrix printer.

There it was.
30-20. 
Satisfaction.

You should have kept that paper.

93 Iron Bowl.  Miska sacking Barker.  Nix to Sanders (Part I).  Bostic breaking the long one.  Jim Fyffe's call..  Eleven and Oh..  Eleven and Oh...  ELEVEN AND OH!!!  First Iron Bowl win for me as a student.

95 Iron Bowl.  I screamed so loud on that 4th down, I literally threw up.

97 Iron Bowl.  I've got a scoreboard pic of the goalposts in front of the leaping tiger scoreboard.  Fucking awesome.  Chop, I thought Nolan's helmet was a Viking Helmet.

Might have very well been.  Just remembered it being blue with horns.  I would have killed to have a picture of him running around with that little Freddie Kitchens doll.  Haha.

1989.  Was dating a bammer boy - two years, pretty serious, parents were pushing us to get engaged.  The week of the game, I kept hearing "We're gonna kick your ass on your own grass!!" OVER AND OVER.  He planned a huge watch party - bought a keg, gonna celebrate a national championship, etc.  I kept warning him that playing in Auburn was gonna change things.  BLAH BLAH BLAH...

I decided to watch the game in the dorm.  He kept saying I might not want to come to Turdville when it was over (like I normally would have done on the weekend) because of the shit I would get...

Oh, damn skippy I went to T-town.

We broke up not long thereafter.

You should send him a card every year during Iron Bowl week.

When I broke up with him, he was crying and wanting to know why.  I just looked at him and said "Because i have ZERO respect for you."  And walked back to my car where the new guy was waiting.

True story.

He is not worth postage.

This just proves the point that if the chick does the breaking up she may not be riding a new one already, but you can bet she's got one saddled up.

"So I want everybody to think here for a second, how much does this game mean to you? 'Cause if it means something to you, you can't stand still. You understand? You play fast! You play strong! You go out there and dominate the man you're playing against, and you make his ass quit! That's our trademark! That's our M.O.... as a team! That's what people know us as!" ~ Nick Saban

This.

There are very few bannable offenses you can commit on this board.  Bringing that game up is one of them.  And my therapist said that it would take less than 6 more months of counseling and medication before this tic would be barely noticeable.  No telling what kind of set back you just caused.
