[edit] Anon CopyVio

A recent addition by anon: User:24.136.36.173 was copied verbatim from http://www.angelfire.com/al/bamacrimsontide/ironbowlhistory.html. Reverted. Autiger

At some point user readded it. I have re-reverted it. Suggest we apply for protection. Littlerob1221 00:17, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

When the user readded, they claimed (in the edit comment) permission to post, which is why I let it stand at that point. The game summaries were an informative addition, (if a little slanted to Alabama) so I think they should be added back. I had intended to consolidate the summary and year-by-year results into a single table. Autiger 23:52, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

the alabama status as "flagship unversity" is hard to argee to when auburn has been ranked higher than alabama in the top public universities consistantly. Also the statement about Auburn students coming from smaller towns has no eveidence what so ever to back that up

"Like many intrastate rivalries between public universities in the United States, much of the animosity between the two schools stems from sociological differences between each school's fan base (alumni and other supporters). Many of the more heated in-state rivalries involve a state's perceived "flagship university" and a land-grant university. Traditionally, flagship universities educated the more urbanized and economically upscale portions of their state's population. Land-grant schools, which were specifically established to provide education in agriculture, engineering, and military science, drew heavily from rural and small-town dwellers. Although this is a gross oversimplification, and there are numerous exceptions to this rule on both sides, there is a core of truth to this divide. In the Iron Bowl, Alabama is the "flagship" school and Auburn the land-grant school"

None of this is verifiable at all

Yes, that part needs to STAY deleted

[edit] Corrected Record

I corrected the overall record of the series, which currently stands at 38-31-1, not 38-32-1 as previously stated. Being an Auburn fan myself, I hope that 38-32-1 is correct this time next year, but for now it is not. Adamepling 15:22, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
