Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall said, "Guys don't mind hitting Michael Vick in the open field, but when you see Cam, you have to think about how you're going to tackle him. He's like a big tight end coming at you."

Why would he want the game to move up and erase any advantage Alabama had before the SECCG?  Aside from the fact that Shula wasn't going to make the SECCG anyway?

Of course, with Mal Moore, I guess anything is plausible.

You asked and answered your question in the same sentence...well, two sentences anyway.

Now I may be an idiot, but there is one thing I am not, sir, and that, sir, is an idiot.

Exactly. It was a lot of Mal knowing there was no way in hell the SEC game was in reach with Shula at the helm, and a little of  if we can't make it there, we want it hard as hell for Auburn to get there too...

     I could be wrong, but I think the Iron bowl was moved back simply because of the addition of the twelveth game.  Originally, there were only going to be 12 games on the years when there were 12 Saturdays between Labor Day and Thanksgiving, everybody plays Labor Day weekend, leaving one week off somewhere along the line. But everybody liked the extra money of the added game, so they decided to go to 12 games all the time.  That means on years where there are only 11 Saturdays between Labor Day and Thanksgiving, 'bama and Auburn would have to play 12 in a row to have Thanksgiving week off.
