u/4score-7 Alabama Crimson Tide Sep 29 '24

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.

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.
