I wouldn't exactly call KIs iron bowl performance a "prime time performance." Don't get me wrong, he was solid in the game but nothing to spectacular.

Have to add Caddy's OT game against the "'Cuse" to this list. I don't know how many yards he had...but he was spectacular in OT. :cheer:

My intent was to list the best performaces against worthy opponents by our "star" backs.

I agree... to this day I think that was one of his best games....ever. He carried our team on his shoulders in O.T.

I'm proud to say that was my first ever Iron Bowl. I remember Bo had an awesome day with a couple of long TD runs. What I remember most however was the weather. ( I was only 9.) The tornado warning had me scared to death. Also I wouldn't have been any more soaking wet if I had jumped into a swimming pool.

It was awesome. Seemed like every time he got the ball he turned the corner before anyone touched him. That was my 3rd IB to witness, and was by far at the time the most fun to watch from start to finish. The aftermath of '82 was the best experience I had as a kid, however.

Unfortunately, that is premium content and should not be posted here, even by the guy who wrote it. That guys at ITAT get a little ticked if the stuff they make folks pay for shows up on free sites.

It's just you. We post articles from free sources, but nevah premium services like ITAT and rivals.com. It has been done in the past with bad results.

If you post a link and a article from al.com, anyone can access it. If it is from a pay site, not everyone can.

well ok but could someone tell me if Auburn is the Running U or not? If its not Auburn it would probably be USC or Miami.

Over the last 5-6 years, Auburn. Over the last 25 years, Michigan.

We always debate how long we can hang on to Borges. The school needs to do AT LEAST as much to hang onto Eddie Gran as long as possible. He is THE BEST in the business and we have been blessed to have him.

Here's to many more years Coach Gran.
