Roll Tide or War Eagle ?

Iron Bowl: The name given to the Alabama–Auburn football rivalry, which began in 1893. It is an American college football game traditionally played on Thanksgiving weekend between the Auburn University Tigers and University of Alabama Crimson Tide, The series is considered one of the most important football rivalries in American sports due to three factors:

1. Alabama and Auburn are in the same state and the only major Universities in Alabama.
2. The state of Alabama does not have any professional sports teams, focusing all attention on college athletics.
3. Each program is extremely successful.

The name "Iron Bowl" comes from Birmingham's historic steel industry. The game was played in Legion Field, Birmingham until 2000. Games now alternate between Tuscaloosa (even years) and Auburn (odd years).
