The Alabama–Auburn football rivalry, better known every bit the Iron Bowl,^[2] Information technology is an American college football rivalry game between the Auburn University Tigers and Academy of Alabama Crimson Tide, both lease members of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). The serial is considered one of the nearly important football rivalries in American sports.^{[3] [4]}As the rivalry, which started in 1893, was played for many years at Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama, the name "Iron Bowl" comes from Birmingham'south celebrated role in the steel industry.^[5] Auburn Coach Ralph "Shug" Hashemite kingdom of jordan is credited with actually coining information technology—when asked by reporters in 1964 how he would deal with the disappointment of not taking his team to a basin game, he responded, "Nosotros've got our bowl game. We have it every twelvemonth. Information technology'due south the Fe Basin in Birmingham."^[6]

Alabama has a winning record against all Southeastern Conference teams and leads the series with Auburn 48–37–1. The game was traditionally played on Thanksgiving weekend, but in 1993, the schools agreed to move the game up to the week before Thanksgiving to give themselves a good day for a potential SEC Championship Game berth. In 2007 the conference voted to disallow whatever squad from having a cheerio earlier the league championship game, returning the game to its traditional Thanksgiving weekend spot.

The rivalry has long been i of the most heated collegiate rivalries in the country. It is all the more than heated considering the two schools take been among the nation's elite teams for most of the time since the 1950s. Together, they account for 36 SEC titles, 28 by Alabama and eight past Auburn. Both are amongst the virtually successful programs in major college football history; Alabama is 2nd^[seven] in all-time full wins amid Partitioning I FBS schools while Auburn is 18th.^[vii] The two schools have been fixtures on national tv since the late 1970s; the only time since and so that the flavor-catastrophe clash hasn't been nationally televised was in 1993, when Auburn was barred from alive TV due to NCAA sanctions.

For much of the 20th century, the game was played every yr in Birmingham, with Alabama winning 34 games and Auburn 19. Four games were played in Montgomery, Alabama, with each team winning two.^[8] Since 1999, the games have been played at Hashemite kingdom of jordan–Hare Stadium in Auburn every odd-numbered yr and at Bryant–Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa every even-numbered year.

History [edit]

The contest became the extension of a bitter political fence which took place in the Alabama Land Legislature regarding the location of the new country-grant college nether the state'south application under the Morrill Land Grant Human activity of 1862 during the Civil War Reconstruction Era. The state legislature, influenced by a heavy contingent of representatives who were University of Alabama alumni, pushed to sell the land scripts of 240,000 acres acquired from the Morrill Act or have any new land holdings held in conjunction with the Academy of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. The fence lasted over 4 years, until Lee County and the Urban center of Auburn won the location of the new university in 1872, after altruistic more than than a hundred acres and the remaining buildings and property of the Eastward Alabama Male Higher.^[9] At the fourth dimension of the Auburn decision the land legislature and governorship was controlled by Radical Republicans such equally "Scalawag" Southern Republicans and Freedman African-Americans. By 1874, former Confederate and "Redeemer" forces from the Autonomous Party gradually overturned the Radicals' control of the legislature. The Democrats then attempted to overturn almost legislation passed during the Reconstruction Period, including the founding of the new land-grant higher at Auburn.

During the 1870s, Auburn (and so named the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama) which received no appropriated funds from the state, was on the edge of financial collapse. Collapse of Auburn meant that the University of Alabama could assume the remaining land scripts, thus profiting from the closure of the new land-grant college. Afterwards its closure and called-for during the Civil War, the University of Alabama would reopen in 1871 and in 1880 the U.Southward. Congress granted the university 40,000 acres (162 km²) of coal land in fractional compensation for $250,000 in war damages.^[ten] "By 1877, competition between the University of Alabama and the Agronomical & Mechanical Higher for patronage had intensified. In January, Auburn President Isaac Tichenor reported to the board of trustees that Alabama had reduced its tuition and lowered its graduation standards. Tichenor responded past requesting that the board drop tuition and create a boarding department to farther lower expenses."^[11]

The very showtime Iron Bowl—Feb 22, 1893

Alabama and Auburn played their showtime football game in Lakeview Park in Birmingham, Alabama, on February 22, 1893. Auburn won 32–22, before an estimated crowd of 5,000. Alabama considered the game to be the final matchup of the 1892 season while Auburn recorded it equally the first matchup of 1893.

In 1902, a bill was introduced into both houses of the U.S. Congress to fund the creation of a "School of Mines and Mining Engineering" at each country-grant college. Under the provision of the bill, each participating land-grant college would receive $v,000 annually with $500 each additional year for 10 years. The University of Alabama secretly sent Professor Dr. Eugene Smith to lobby confronting passage of the bill or to amend the pecker to allow other universities to participate in the federal programme. Auburn responded past sending Professor C.C. Thach to D.C. to entrance hall with the Association of Country-Grant Colleges for a compromise to let passage of the bill. The bill would later fail to receive passage.^[12]

During the 1907 state legislature session, a argue surfaced to move the country-grant college from Auburn to Birmingham.^[13] Meanwhile, tensions carried over to the football rivalry when, after both the 1906 and 1907 contests, Auburn head coach Mike Donahue threatened to abolish the series if Alabama head charabanc "Doctor" Pollard continued employing his elaborate formations and shifts.^[14] The series was suspended after the 1907 game. The Alabama–Auburn series was originally thought to take been discontinued in response to violence both on the field and among fans during and after the 1907 game.^[15] Other sources say the game was canceled due to a disagreement betwixt the schools on how much per diem to permit players for the trip to Birmingham, how many players each schoolhouse should bring, and where to detect officials. By the fourth dimension all these matters were resolved, it was too tardily to play in 1908.^[15]

The first try to resume the series came only months after the 7–vii necktie in 1907. The 2 schools, which ended the series considering of a $34 dispute in the game contract, tried to save the series in 1908. In late September, Auburn agreed to accept a compromise contract as suggested by Alabama, and Alabama agreed to meet Auburn's demands on players and per diem. All that remained was the selection of a date. Auburn offered four possible dates to play. Earlier a respond was made, two of the dates passed and it was too late to change dates of other games. There were still two chances to play, including Nov 21 when Alabama had a game schedule with Haskell Constitute, an Indian school, and November 28 (the Saturday after Thanksgiving that year). Alabama would not abolish the Haskell game, honoring its contract. That ruled out the 21st, and the Auburn Lath of Trustees refused to change its long-standing rule prohibiting football games after Thanksgiving. The Auburn–Alabama serial had stopped.^[16]

During the 1930s and into the 1940s while the football rivalry was in hiatus, Auburn nether the leadership of President Duncan, became the authoritative home for several New Deal agencies: the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, the Soil Conservation Service, and the Resettlement Administration. The federal Government funding flowing into Auburn shortly drew the ire of the University of Alabama trustees and their partisans in the Alabama Legislature. President Duncan was able to influence the placement of these agencies at Auburn due to his support for Governor Bibb Graves. Both the president and the governor supported the New Deal faction of the Democratic Political party in Alabama. Graves was well continued in Washington D.C. with President Franklin D. Roosevelt and often lobbied in D.C. on "plum-tree-shaking expeditions". Meanwhile, Duncan with his connections in the Alabama Farm Agency and as the director of the Extension Service exercised bang-up control over the organized farm vote. By the mid 1940s, the Autonomous Party was splintering in Alabama, with the rise of the Dixiecrats and those who remained loyal to the national party. I of the most outspoken critics of Auburn was publisher Harry Ayers, who would later on endorse Harry Truman in 1945. In 1940 Duncan had successfully opposed Ayers' candidacy every bit a delegate to the Democratic National Convention, which securely offended the publisher. The Anniston editor had been a long-fourth dimension abet of consolidating Auburn and Alabama, "then that Auburn would go the dangling tail of a Tuscaloosa kite". In August, 1942, President Duncan wrote to Raymond Paty, the newly appointed president of the University of Alabama, that the relationship between their ii schools was "of such magnitude and gravity" that he had given the question more attention than any other problem he faced as president. He urged Paty that Auburn and Alabama should concord upon a funding formula that would give each institution the same appropriation per in-state student, an idea which worked against the University of Alabama's self-prototype every bit the state'due south capstone university.^[17]

Auburn wanted to renew the football game series in 1944. This time, Alabama said no. Alabama's board of trustees was against the resumption, maxim that an Auburn–Alabama rivalry would pb to an overemphasis of football game in Alabama and an unhealthy increase in rumor and rancor betwixt the two schools. The lath also said an intrastate rivalry would go far incommunicable for either school to hire coaches of "high graphic symbol and proven ability" because they would be agape of beating the cross-country rival every yr. After 1944, several legislative attempts were made to force the 2 schools to play again, but all attempts failed. The legislature did, nonetheless, laissez passer several resolutions calling on the 2 schools to play each other. Those resolutions were rejected by both schools.^[16]

During a 1945 legislative session, the Academy of Alabama's report to the committee (Alabama Educational Survey Commission) argued that the Tuscaloosa school had well-established and wide responsibilities for college educational activity in the state. Four times in Alabama history, higher educational activity responsibilities had been delegated to other institutions. In three of the four cases, this occurred under a state government established during the Reconstruction menstruum: creation of the normal schools, higher education for blacks, and establishment of the land-grant higher at Auburn. The fourth case was the country women'southward higher at Montevallo. In each example, this was argued to have resulted from "the illogic inherent in the evolution of a democratic government". The Alabama report drew a sharp response from then Auburn President Luther Duncan, who said that he had never seen "a bolder, more than deliberate, more vicious, or more deceptive certificate". He predicted that if the friends of Auburn and Montevallo did not rise up to combat "this evil monster", information technology would swallow them "just like the doctrine of Hitler". Duncan also remarked that according to Alabama, "Auburn is the illegitimate children... born out of the misery of the Reconstruction period."^[17]

By 1945, with the finish of World War II, the GI Bill had inundated Auburn (then officially named the Alabama Polytechnic Institute), with students—doubling enrollment twice between 1944 and 1948. With the increased enrollment, information technology was now obvious that Auburn would never "become and then weak that... it could exist absorbed" by the Academy of Alabama.^[17]

In March 1947, the Auburn Board of Trustees, with Governor Jim Folsom in omnipresence, unanimously canonical the following resolution, "Whereas, The Alabama Polytechnic Institute and the University of Alabama are important educational institutions of the State of Alabama and are maintained and operated by the people of the State; and Whereas, many years ago able-bodied relationship between the Alabama Polytechnic Institute and the University of Alabama was discontinued; and Whereas, intercollegiate rivalry between the two institutions would exist conducive to a better understanding among students of both schools and would tend to promote interest in athletic engagements in Alabama, therefore Be It Resolved by the Board of Trustees of Alabama Polytechnic Plant in coming together assembled, that the President of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, through its Able-bodied Director, make necessary negotiation with the Managing director of Athletics of the University of Alabama to resume athletic competition betwixt the two institutions at the earliest possible engagement, and that a copy of this resolution be furnished to the President and Athletic Director of the University of Alabama." The Governor and then suggested that the game be played not later than the first Sabbatum in December 1947.^[xviii] Besides during 1947, the Alabama Firm of Representatives passed a resolution encouraging both universities to "make possible the inauguration of a full able-bodied plan betwixt the 2 schools".^[19] Just the resolution did not take the consequence of law, the schools however could not concur, the Legislature threatened to withhold land funding. In April 1948, Alabama president John Gallalee and Auburn president Ralph B. Draughon met and agreed to renew the serial in 1948 and for the post-obit 1949 flavour.^[16]

It was agreed that the games would exist played every bit a neutral site series in Birmingham. Legion Field held 47,000 fans in 1948, dwarfing both Tuscaloosa'due south Denny Stadium (31,000) and Auburn Stadium (15,000; expanded to 21,500 and renamed Cliff Hare Stadium in 1949).^[xx] Also it is believed Alabama refused to travel to Auburn, citing poor roads and the minor size of Hare Stadium. Alabama was joined in this sentiment by the Tennessee Volunteers (who refused to play in Auburn until 1974) and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (who did not travel to Auburn from 1900 to 1970). Auburn played its last home game at Legion Field, exterior of the Iron Bowl, in 1978 against Tennessee.^{[21] [22]}

Between 1969 and 1987, Auburn fabricated additions to Jordan–Hare Stadium until it eclipsed Legion Field in size. Auburn was in the procedure of expanding Hashemite kingdom of jordan-Hare Stadium from 72,169 seats to 85,214 for the 1987 season, almost 10,000 more than Legion Field. had a capacity of 75,808. (Alabama's Bryant-Denny Stadium so seated a little over threescore,000, but expanded to 70,123 in 1988.)^[twenty] By this fourth dimension, Auburn fans began feeling chagrin at playing all Iron Bowl games at Legion Field. Despite the equal resource allotment of tickets, Auburn fans insisted that Legion Field was not a neutral site. Not only was Legion Field but 45 minutes east of Tuscaloosa, but the stadium had long been associated with Alabama football. Well into the 1980s, Alabama played nearly of its important games in Birmingham—most of Alabama's "dwelling house" football history from the 1920s to the 1980s actually took identify at Legion Field. For this reason, Auburn began lobbying to make the Iron Basin a "home-and-home" series. When Pat Dye became Auburn'due south head football game coach and athletics director in 1981, he met with his longtime mentor, Alabama head coach and athletic director Paul "Bear" Bryant. Dye recalled that at that meeting, "the start matter he said to me, very first thing, he said, 'Well, I guess you're going to want to take that game to Auburn.'" Dye confirmed that hunch, maxim, "We're going to take it to Auburn." When Bryant noted that the schools' contract with Legion Field ran through 1988, Dye replied, "Well, we'll play 89 in Auburn." Although Auburn would have been well inside its rights to move its habitation games to Jordan-Hare before and then, Dye knew that Bryant was doggedly opposed to playing any Iron Bowl games in Auburn. He knew Bryant'due south continuing in the country was such that information technology would exist folly to attempt making the Fe Basin a home-and-home series every bit long as Bryant was still alive.^[20]

In the late 80s, the schools agreed that Auburn could play their dwelling games for the Iron Basin at Jordan-Hare starting in 1989 (with the exception of 1991) and Alabama would continue to play its "home" games at Legion Field. On December 2, 1989, Alabama came to "the Plains" for the commencement fourth dimension ever as a sellout crowd witnessed Auburn win its beginning true "dwelling house" game of the serial, xxx–20 over an Alabama team that entered the game undefeated and ranked No.2 in the country.

Alabama continued to concur its abode games for the rivalry at Legion Field. In 1998, Alabama expanded Bryant–Denny Stadium to a capacity of 83,818, narrowly eclipsing Legion Field. Alabama moved their habitation games in the series to Bryant–Denny Stadium in 2000. That year, Auburn came to Tuscaloosa for the commencement fourth dimension since 1901 and won in a defensive struggle, 9–0. A new attendance tape for the Iron Basin was set in 2006 as the latest expansion to Bryant–Denny Stadium increased its capacity to 92,138. The record was reset over again in 2010, after another expansion to Alabama'south Bryant–Denny Stadium, when a crowd of 101,821 witnessed a 28–27 Auburn victory.

Broadcasters [edit]

In 2009 and 2010 CBS Sports and the two universities arranged to have the game played in an sectional fourth dimension slot on the Friday following Thanksgiving. The 2009 game was the 6th Iron Bowl to be played on a Friday and the outset one in 21 years.^[23] CBS did not attempt to renew the agreement after 2010 due to criticism from both fan bases, returning the game to its traditional Saturday date. Although CBS has broadcast the majority of Iron Bowl games since 1996 through its SEC coverage, ESPN has aired the game several times, from 1995 through 1999, 2003, and 2007. In 2014, CBS's decision to broadcast the Egg Bowl due to a number of factors (which included contractual limits on how many times CBS may feature certain teams, and the larger prominence of the Egg Bowl due to its potential furnishings on Mississippi State's participation in the College Football Playoff) resulted in ESPN broadcasting the first Fe Bowl played in primetime since 2007.^{[24] [25]}
