Lee Corso -- fresh off shouting an obscenity on live television -- Kirk Herbstreit, Chris Fowler and the gang will be in town for the Iron Bowl, ESPN tweeted yesterday morning.

GameDay will set up on Campus Green east of Jordan-Hare Stadium for Saturday's 2:30 p.m. game between Auburn (7-4, 4-3 SEC) and Alabama (10-1,6-1), which will be televised on CBS.

It's GameDay's first trip to Auburn this year and the third in the past four seasons.

It will be GameDay's seventh visit to Auburn during its 25-year existence and will mark the 13th time that Auburn has played in the on-site game. The last time GameDay visited Auburn was on Sept. 18, 2010 when the Tigers hosted Clemson.

GameDay’s other previous visits to the Auburn campus have been in 2008 (vs. LSU), 2006 (vs. Florida), 2004 (vs. Georgia), 1997 (vs. Florida) and 1995. Its debut on the Plains was on Nov. 18, 1995, when Auburn hosted Alabama.

Maybe it's the fact that Auburn can stand in the Crimson Tide's way of playing for the national championship.

Maybe it's the fact that the Tigers came back from a 24-0 deficit to win 28-27 in Tuscaloosa last year on their way to their own national title.

Maybe the GameDay crew's just in the mood for some barbecue.

In any case, the insanity that usually follows around ESPN's college football preview show should just make things more interesting on the Plains this week.
