College rivalry

University of Alabama vs. Auburn University

Classic college rivalries spring from all sorts of heady stuff -- like which school has bred more world leaders, Nobel laureates or ivy leaves on its tony limestone walls over the last however many centuries.
Some of these lingering spats even have to do with academics.

But for those who think the most fist-shaking battles waged between institutions of higher learning have to do with economics, photon theory or just plain snob appeal, we present the Iron Bowl, the Thanksgiving weekend football game between neighboring universities in the U.S. South

The annual, in-state grudge match between Auburn University's Tigers and the University of Alabama's Crimson Tide dates to 1893 and "basically forces people in this state to take sides the second they're born," notes one local fan who can recite every score back to that 33-22 Auburn nail-biter 120 years ago like it was yesterday.

Last year, top-seeded Alabama destroyed Auburn 49-0.

This year, Alabama is still ranked number one in the country (at time of publication), but a resurgent Auburn team could pose a formidable challenge at home, so you can bet there's going to be a score to settle on November 30 at Auburn's Jordan-Hare Stadium amid 90,000 fans screaming "War Eagle," "Roll Tide" and some less printable things.
