The Alabama Crimson Tide and the Auburn Tigers, the two big schools in the state of Alabama have been meeting on the gridiron for many years now. The game has been fought in different locations, Birmingham for a period of time, but it always brings the attention of the entire state to see what takes place any given year. It is "the rivalry" and those who know it well say it is the best rivalry in sports, period. As a fan I have no dog in this fight being a fan of other teams growing up but I find it comical and exhilarating because of the depth and energy put into supporting ones side. It is awesome how much support a university can have for them especially in ones home state. Other rivalries garner as much attention in other areas of the country but little has meant as much during the past four years with Bama taking home three Championships and Auburn one National Championship. College football has run through this state every year since my class entered college in 2009. It has been a fun ride so as far as I can see it we are living and a part of the best rivalry in college sports.
