MaxCohen216 514 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Gonna be very dark and gloomy for Alabama fans at the end of the game when we have a couple more points than they do. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain typically makes it harder for DBs… WRs know where they are going and slip less, DBs have to suddenly react and therefore usually slip more. Oh and we have under armor cleats…so it would give them an even bigger advantage. Now if it could be windy…their qb isn’t near as good as their last few. Throw in some wind gusts and we could get a couple picks. Or maybe the rain makes it harder for him to throw…. But to me the entire game hinges on our ability to pressure the qb. If we can’t do that we lose by 30 plus. But he sucks under pressure so if we can we actually have a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUY2K 256 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Their field sucks also. Should be an interesting game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,001 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Their fans are not the "West Virginia Monsoon" type. Although it is the Iron Bowl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,466 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Rain usually helps the underdog. The final scores of games played in the rain are often closer than expected. Maybe the weather helps us win! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUwent 3,739 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 (edited) I swear almost every time it’s in Turdtown it’s raining, while it’s bright and sunny almost every time in JHS. Extremely apathetic to the game itself. Let’s just get 🚂 in! Edited November 23, 2022 by AUwent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All but five this century have been 2:30 CT on CBS (two being an hour earlier). Since 1996, UAT home IBs (including B'ham) have averaged 56.15 degrees, Auburn home IBs have averaged 63.23 degrees.

Thankfully we were under the upper deck on the east side and it helped keep the rain off us. Man it poured and poured that day. When Auburn got the field goal I thought it was over. Our punter kept pinning them back inside the 10, the defense was playing great and it hadn’t been for the bad snap on one of the kicks they never would have gotten across midfield all day. When Stabler got loose after Gusty Yearout got tackled that was a sickening sight to see his slow ass slogging down the sideline to win the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTFazz 386 Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Talking Iron Bowl weather brings back memories of the '83 Iron Bowl with tornadoes and watching the water coming down the steps at Legion Field looked like whitewater rapids... and Bo running amok. It was my first Iron Bowl and I didn't leave my seat for a minute. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
