Great story. I like both teams equally, as well as other college football teams, but it's been in my family that all of us are Alabama fans. Sorry, but RTR lol
Well said. Everyone has heard of the Iron bowl but this really explains it well! It’s a real thing (literally impacts both sides) and even more so back in the day!
I’m not a fan of either but I do live in the South and have wondered the reasoning for some of the things mentioned in this video. The Updike story is just ridiculous!!!
Roll Tide Roll
That anonymous numbers on the helmet comment is so true and is what we need to get back to.
Numbers on the helmet is the antithesis of "anonymous".
@@RoadTo19 lol I can see your point
Roooooooolllllll Tiiiiiiiiide
ROLLTIDE 🐘🐘🐘🐘
First. Bama BABY!!!
Rtr baby
Do Arizona
The Iron Bowl is the _biggest_ rivalry in the P5... Nothing like an in-state rivalry! Add to that, there are no pro sports teams in Alabama so CFB is everything! Given BAMA's successes over the decades, the national championship has passed thought that game so many times.
I've always hear the "Crimson Tide" came from a sports writer but in essence he said, 'the OL was so dominate it looked like a _crimson_ _tide_ going down the field.'
I love the numbers are still on the helmets but that's the antithesis of "anonymous". I wish they could copyright the use of numbers on helmets so other programs would be required to request permission from BAMA... which of course it would always decline unless for throwback uni's.
I admit, "Tiger" the eagle at the beginning of a game is impressive... but in the end, Auburn will always little-brother to THE TIDE!
Why do they constantly call out Bama's 18 championships yet never mention the stolen championships. Bama has earned every National Championship as much as any other school that has questionable championships. You can't question that Bama is the most successful and storied program in ALL of college football and boast the best college football coaches (Nick Saban and Bear Bryant). Roll Tide! 🐘🏈🔴⚪🏆
Is it a rivalry us alabama always wins?
Auburn as beat us quite a few time recently. We have won more but it’s a good rivalry
Classic bama fan. You’ll see this year bud. And the 10 following.
Understand the rivalry but still wouldn’t want my legacy to be I killed beautiful oak trees. I love Oaks. That’s not 😎 . You want to brand a mascot 13-0 bc you won that’s ok, and that’s how BEVO got its name 😂 and the Corps members were never punished. Now you do that (even though branding is legal) and you have a cruelty to animal felony charge! Gig’em
No, the auburn war cry doesn’t make sense.
Then you don’t know football enough to understand.
Bama fan
