Top National College Football Rivalry

rivals.com has announced that visitors to its web site have voted the Iron Bowl the top rivalry in college football.  For those not from the south or completely ignorant of college ball, the match up is between Auburn University and the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa.

 

My favorite part of the article is this anecdote from one of the survey respondents:

"I was in college and went to an Iron Bowl. I cheered loudly behind two women in their 60s after a Bama quarterback got hammered. They turned around and one punched me in the face. I couldn't get mad – not because she was 60 – but because I understood her rage. I respected her for punching me."
