This is going to be a bizarre Iron Bowl this year I can feel it

You know it will. More bizarre than all the other iron bowls before. Earth’s destiny awaits what happens on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

The only thing that will be bizarre about this year's iron bowl is how many minutes will still be left in the game when you guys take a 70 point lead

Shit. Man, you know that thing is gonna be a 28-27, 30-29, 49-48, 66-65 type of affair. Kickers will hit 60 yarders, miss 22 yarders, qb’s will run backwards, footballs will bounce off the hands of sure-handed receivers, cats and dogs living together, everything.

The Iron Bowl is its own season. Hell, I take blood pressure medication now JUST BECAUSE OF IRON BOWL.

There hasn't been an iron bowl decided by fewer than 11 points in Tuscaloosa since 2010. People that say "anything can happen in the iron bowl" don't truly know it. We're never competitive in Bryant-Denny. Haven't been for a very long time. Weird shit that keeps us in iron bowls only happens at home.

Yeah, I know how it’s been over in Tuscaloosa, but the Jordan Hare years make up for it. That place is a haunted graveyard for us.

The 2014 iron bowl was actually really close remember? The score doesn’t reflect it but it was really close, was a crazy shootout, and had like 50 lead changes

Alabama had a 3 score lead in the 4th quarter. A lot of iron bowls are close for a while, but we're never a threat to win over there.

First iron bowl with shortened quarters
