Six in a row
Greg Curry The Corner News published November 25, 2007
It wasn’t pretty or easy, but the Auburn Tigers won the Iron Bowl for the sixth straight year Saturday night. With the win, the Tigers did something neither team has done since Alabama won nine straight Iron Bowls. Auburn’s win establishes the second longest winning streak by either team in this historic rivalry. |

Six years in a row, and it never gets old. Posted by AU88 on 11/26 at 01:49 PM
Very classy. That’s why Auburn is not respected nationally. Auburn is only a pretender and the only expectations is beating their instate rivals. The Saban dynasty is only beginning and sadly, Auburn will once again be Bama’s little sister. 38-33-1…When’s the last time you guys did something on a national level? 50 years ago isn’t much to be celebrating.

It hurts doesn’t it. Whatever you need to tell yourself to make it all better is fine with us. We’ll see you at the next Iron Bowl. 6. Posted by aukds on 11/27 at 12:44 AM

Take your beating like a man and stop whining. I should expect it though from a Bama fan. Posted by smoke7024 on 11/27 at 12:46 AM
Can you not comprehend that this is merely a mockery of your own self-adulatory cheer that you hold so dearly as your own warped tradition? Or can you not even find Tuscaloosa on a map? 6 Posted by Aubeez4AU on 11/27 at 12:48 AM

As a 3 time AU graduate, I was beyond THRILLED to see the 6th straight Iron Bowl victory. This rivalry is older than anyone responding to this video and will continue well into the future of our children and grandchildren. It is what makes the state of Alabama GREAT in the SEC. This game is about heart; let’s face it Bama fans… it seems as if you’ve lost your heart. Don’t blame us for having the EXACT SAME REACTION you all would have. I (along with all my fellow AU grads and fans) love and respect this rivalry for what it is and will continue to consider you a formidable opponent. It is just sad that what so many Bama fans dished out for so many years (yawn), you just can’t accept for what it is- a passionate rivalry between two truly gifted football programs. As for next year, we’ll see you in Tuscaloosa- and lets see if YOUR behavior is “classy” IF you when. WAR DAMN EAGLE! Posted by AuburnBarB on 11/27 at 06:58 PM
As an Auburn fan who lived through many years of being defeated by Bama, I’ll never forget those days. The Auburn Spirit is alive and well, and we will continue support our athletes and students in a manner respective of the Creed we live by. Alabama cannot change Auburn, and will fail miserably with any effort to alter our sense of reality. Arrogance is not what we are about. We are about family and true love of our school, and not some figment of the imagination. Reality is we have each other, while bammers have an empty rhetoric that has long been buried.

You won’t find any fans that are more *real* or loyal than Auburn Fans. I remember going to the Iron Bowl when it was played for the first time in Auburn in 1989. Bama was ranked #2 and no one thought we had a chance. Well, guess what? The Tide Dyed that day. And then as Auburn turned its program around, the fair weather Tide fans (*crossover fans*, we called ‘em) started saying they saw the light. They came to our stadium proclaiming themselves to be true Orange ‘n Blue, still sitting on their Bama seat cushions. What a pathetic joke. I grew up in Alabama during the years when it was tuff being a Tiger, when we suffered that long, miserable drive back from Legion Field after yet another loss, with our car still proudly decorated with pawprints and streamers and still loving our team. “War Eagle Anyhow” was what we’d say. We’ve always had class. And then sending my daughter to school in kindergaten on Spirit Day dressed in our school colors and her coming home in tears: “Mom, please don’t make me wear this again; it makes the other kids hate me.“ Yes, this is sweet. *Class* will always win out. War Eagle, War Eagle, War Eagle. Win or lose, the best school in Alabama will always be on the Plains. Posted by Linda Lee on 11/30 at 08:19 AM
Joey, Joey, Joey, You want to talk about catching up? How about this AU v. UAT series record: 15-10 over the last 25 years Can you spot the trend, Joey? Posted by Clark on 11/30 at 02:38 PM
I would be ashamed of my school for playing another school’s song—typical of Auburn and Tennessee…very classless. It’s stunts like these that have taken sportsmanship out of college football. Posted by B. on 11/30 at 03:03 PM
Oh-yes! 38-33-1…12 national championships…so much for bama fans to remember. Posted by geo aub on 12/07 at 09:53 AM
