I agree, and I'm an Auburn fan. I'm not one of the "mutual hate" crowd. I assure you, around this state there is plenty of mutual respect, too. In its proper place and perspective, a great rivalry is both fun and satisfying. Football season is usually interesting in Alabama.
As a Gator, I have the highest admiration for Saban.
If I had a kid who played football, I’d want him to play for Saban.
I’ve worked in sports for many years. Half of coaching is recruiting the best people.
Maybe more than half.......
It takes great maturity for an Auburn fan to tip his cap to Saban.
Therefore, I tip my cap to you!
And Auburn has had more success than most at being a thorn in Bama’s side. From a Crimson Tide fan to you, “War Eagle”, except when you play us, of course.
