Auburn's Antonio Coleman receives a daily reminder about 36-0...

Bernard Troncale/The Birmingham NewsAuburn DE Antonio Coleman, being entertaining...
There are, I assume, a few Alabama fans who won't forget the Crimson Tide's 36-0 thumping of Auburn in last year's Iron Bowl. Auburn defensive end Antonio Coleman won't either.

"The only reminder I have comes at 5:30 every morning (for conditioning) from a little short bald guy," Coleman said. "That's Kevin Yoxall, our strength coach. He has a ticket around his neck, his sideline ticket that says Auburn vs. Alabama. Every day, he's reminding you. We do 'Bama reps and all that good stuff."

Yoxall apparently does this a lot. When Wisconsin upset the Tigers in the 2006 Capital One Bowl, he wore that ticket around his neck for a year.

"Oh, he'll remind you," Coleman said.

Yox is one of the meanest, hard nosed son of a bitch I've ever been around.  He seemed horribly pissed off all the time. 

...and I loved it...

I thought Ian left for Boston to be the Patriots beat writer.
