We could play Auburn 7 on 11 and they couldn't shut us out.

They know that it happen.

considering they give up an average of 28 points per game in SEC play...I'll stick with the car in my driveway

What does this dealer have to lose? He knows the odds of Auburn shutting out Alabama are very slim. He also knows this will get him plenty of free advertising, and he's not going to turn down that. Watch his car sales increase over the next few weeks because of this.

This is pretty brilliant unless of course it does happen. Then he may have to fold.

And if Hades experiences frozen precipitation, I'll throw another one in as well.

They buy an insurance policy on promotions like this. Lloyds of London issues policies on promotions all the time. There is a jeweler in Gardendale who did the same thing for last year's Iron Bowl. His was if the game is a shut out, people who bought items between certain dates got a full refund. He actually came out ahead because the policy wasn't that much and people turned around and spent the money they got back. It's the same deal when you see a new car for a hole in one at a golf tournament,etc...

An appliance store in Denver does something similar every year for the Broncos/Raiders game:

Jeff Dennis Jewelers has done this a couple times I think. Now another jeweler in the B'ham area is doing something similar and I think the deal has something to do with it raining on Thanksgiving.

LOL, that's easy to offer. It's akin to offering $1m to everyone if a meteoroid destroyed the Empire State Building within the next two weeks.

Until Ted Mosby shoots you for standing on holy ground.

..and immediately every worker at that dealership started cheering for Bama

He ought to be a sport and offer a set of tires if Auburn keeps it close.

Here's two Barn fans with their new ride hoping for a shutout.
