It’s Iron Bowl time. I was there in 2008 when Alabama shut out Auburn. Here’s hoping for a rerun! #rolltide #
Dammit. 7-0 Auburn. Game’s not even 4 min. old. #rolltide #
Sigh. This is gonna be one of those games where I cuss. A lot. Cusses of despair. Auburn up 14-0, still 1st quarter. #rolltide #
RT @twstephens: Tiger Woods hit fire hydrant and a tree in car crash. Listed as ‘serious.’ http://bit.ly/70bXzk #
WOO HOO! Touchdown, Alabama! Looks like the tryptophan is wearing off. 14-7 Auburn leading. #rolltide #
RT @edsbs: Some poor Auburn defender just got run over by a parade float named Cody. [#rolltide!] #
YES! Bama ties it up at 14. 5:31 left in 1st half. #rolltide #
RT @jeremyflint: The CBS telestrator is apparently using the same camera that shot the Zapruder film. #ironbowl [looks terrible in HD] #
Coming up next, the CBS halftime report, sponsored by “Tiger Woods Was In A Car Crash.” #ironbowl #
Halftime: Alabama 14, Auburn 14. Time to break out the Thin Mints. Yes, Em @vulcansmuse, really. #ironbowl #
RT @ikepigott: Thank God that Tim Tebow wasn’t in Tiger Woods’ car, because CBS would have cut away from the Iron Bowl completely. #
DAMMIT. Auburn up 21-14 just 4 min. into 2nd half. Surprise: no trick plays this time. #rolltide #
I’ll take it. Tiffin field goal pulls Bama to within 4 … 21-17 Auburn in 3rd quarter. #rolltide #
Will Tiffin save Bama’s bacon? Second FG makes it 21-20 Auburn with 24 seconds left in 3rd quarter. #rolltide #
[Holds 4 fingers in the air, as opposed to a selective two.] #rolltide #
And for the first time in 58 minutes, Bama takes the lead, 26-21. #rolltide #
CRIMSON FRIDAY, not Black Friday: No. 2 Alabama comes back to defeat Auburn 26-21 in 74th Iron Bowl, goes 12-0. #rolltide #
