The 2009 Iron Bowl was the mirror image of the 2010 game. The #1 team falls way behind and rallies late to win. But if we were going to have a TideFans gathering and were told we would watch one game from the 2009 season, I'd vote for the Texas game.The thing that I love most in that thread is the post by LocalTiger. The 2010 IB will be, and is, the defining moment for an entire generation of boogdom. NOT the NC they went on to win. I love it. YES, love it. Bless their hearts...

I'd pick the SECCG. That Florida team is the best team we've faced under Saban. It was the best game Alabama has played I've ever seen.The 2009 Iron Bowl was the mirror image of the 2010 game.

I'd vote for Va Tech, LSU, Florida (SECCG), and Texas (BCSCG) over the Auburn game.The 2009 Iron Bowl was the mirror image of the 2010 game. The #1 team falls way behind and rallies late to win.

Great English department they have over there in West Georgia.watching the south carolina vs alabama 2010 game
on fox sportsouth right now, you can not convince me that alabama is not on some type of performing inhancement drug, there is no way there lineman and line backers and running backs are that much bigger than everybody else.
That's not really their reaction at all. Their reaction is "butthurt" at being ridiculed. I weighed whether or not to put it up, but it's offseason...1) OK, so we were juicing BEFORE the 2010 Iron Bowl (according to the hacks) and the refs are in our hip pocket - anybody care to explain LOGICALLY how we've lost ANY games the past four years?
2) My only "disgruntlement" about us putting up their threads (and make no mistake, they're high comedy) is it gives them a feeling we take them seriously. They measure THEMSELVES by us; we ARE the measuring rod for everybody so I guess I just don't know what that feels like. When a foot measures itself against a yard, it always comes up short. When a nanometer (Auburn) measures itself by a galaxy (us), I can't even imagine the inferiority complex.
3) Their HIGH NOTE of 2010 is beating us. Not only that but their HIGH NOTE ALL-TIME was getting the Iron Bowl moved to Jordan-Hare Stadium in 1989. Listen to an Aubie talk about that game - they talk more about the LOCATION of that game than anything else. That was a DEVASTATING LOSS for us, cost us a legitimate shot at the national title (we were #2 behind Colorado), and most of them couldn't name the score if you asked them. They couldn't tell you a single play in the game. But they can tell you it was "first time ever." (In a truly classless comment, Pat Tie actually compared Auburn getting that game with the fall of the Berlin Wall about three weeks before the Iron Bowl, comparing the "liberation" of a bunch of Barner fans with folks who lived under Communism for a generation).
Here's to me what is funny - even though we all hear about the great rivalry of the Iron Bowl, how often when we beat them is it really just another irritant, another roadblock, another game? They beat us and you'd think they just won a national title; we beat them and the usual question is, "Are you going to Atlanta next weekend?"
I've never understood their fixation on having the game moved other than they thought Legion Field was our "home" field. The problem with that is that AU used to have at least 1 or 2 games there other than the IB every year so at most we might have played 1 more game there each year than they did.3) Their HIGH NOTE of 2010 is beating us.

Good points Earle.That's not really their reaction at all. Their reaction is "butthurt" at being ridiculed. I weighed whether or not to put it up, but it's offseason...
