Iron Bowl Classic

As college football rivalry weekend came and went, many campuses around the country gathered up as much school colored gear as possible to clearly represent their side of choice.  The classic match up of maize and blue versus scarlet and grey.  Ohio State vs Michigan is always and will always be a classic must see, but this year the south's version, Alabama vs Auburn, took the nation's breath away.  The game was back and forth throughout the entire contest, with the score being tied with :01 remaining in regulation.  Most would think to play safe for a guaranteed full possession in overtime, but head coach for Alabama, Nick Saban, played for the win on the road.  That did not end well as the field goal, which was being attempted by an inexperienced kicker who had only kicked two previous field goals, missed short.  What happened next will live in Iron Bowl infamy.
