The game is Saturday at 3:30 which will be 8:30 or 9:30 or something like that in L4. I have no idea if you can get this at all where you are, but it's as big as college games get. Any Americans who can help me explain, please jump in. The presence of the Crimson Tide in Jordan-Hare Stadium is the equivalent of Ratboy and Stevie G. standing on the Goodison pitch.
In any case, Alabama is #1 and has been for three years now, and Auburn is #4 and has come from nowhere with a first-year coach with an interesting approach. If you grow up in Bama, you have to declare by the time you're 6. From there on you're one or the other.
I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has lived the Merseyside Derby if you can get that sense from the Iron Bowl if you should take the time to watch it. I highly recommend the experience to you. Pure passion in the heart of old Dixie. Nothing else matters like this game, in this place. As Iron Bowls go, this one is as big as they get. In any case, college ball in the South carries the kind of total passion that football does in Liverpool. I'm thinking Bama might finally be vulnerable this year, but we'll see.
Trust me, SEC football is boss.
