* Twas The Night Before The Iron Bowl was written the night before the Iron Bowl*
Twas the night before the Iron Bowl, and all over the South, Tuberville was—as usual—running his mouth.
The pads were all hanging so neatly with care, in hope that Coach Nick would soon be there.
Alabama Fans were nestled all snug in their stadium, while visions of championships danced in their cranium.
Alabama is undefeated, and headed to Atlanta. They have one score to settle, the only one that matters.
When out of the blue did arise such a roar—Auburn couldn't believe it; Alabama just scored.
Away to the end zone, he flew like a flash, ran Javier Arenas. Man, that dude's fast! The Tide was at Crest; they were ready to play. Auburn fans were thinking, "Let's get out of this place!"
When what should my wondering eyes behold? An onside kick—man, Coach Saban is bold!
With a little less field, so tempting and short, I know that J.P. Wilson would now go to work. More rapid than a meteor that fell down from space, he hit Jolio Jones and ended the chase.
Now, COFFEE! Now, INGRAM! Now UPCHURCH and WILSON! On CODY! On McCLAIN! On GREENWOOD! Let's BLITZ'EM!
Fly JULIO! Fly MCCOY! Fly McCALL and WALKER. Charge SMITH! Charge JOHNSON! Charge CALDWELL and DAVIS!
A pass, a catch, a run, and a field goal! An interception, a sack, a fumble—what a huge score!
To the top and glory! To the top and fame! As all of you write your name in Crimson Flame!
The game is over and the score a disgrace. Tuberville is screaming, "Get me out of this place!"
Away to the East in the little town of Auburn, Tiger fans are all crying, "We have a problem!"
Alabama is back, and they cannot be stopped. It really looks like our balloon has been popped!
And away in the West in the dimly lit sky, Alabama fans are all cheering and yelling...
ROLL TIDE!

Fun read. No surprise at the Aubie comment. Hey Aubie... It's humor at your expense (which you have made very easy this year). It was done with class. Chill out.

Ken, I think they have lost their sense of humor. That happens with Auburn fans when they start losing.
I just came home from the Mall. I counted a 20 to 1 ratio in people wearing Alabama shirts to Auburn shirts. They all are disappearing again.
Last year you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting an Auburn fan!

Very very nice! Now the game is over; we can now hold 7 fingers up in the air...one for each loss in Tuberville's last year. HEY! That could be a line added to your poem! HAHA! ROLL TIDE!

Thanks Adam, lets leave the finger holding to them. The only numbers I am interesting in now are 22, and 13.
22 SEC championships, 13 national championships, and a Partrage in a pear tree. Now that we have exercised the demons lets go get those!
