Iron Bowl
The Iron Bowl is considered by many to be one of the biggest college football rivalries. The game is played annually on Thanksgiving weekend between Auburn and Alabama. The game was first played from 1893 to 1906 but was suspended for 42 years. The game resumed in 1949 and the rivalry has blossomed into one of the biggest games of the year. The winners of the past 3 Iron Bowls have gone on to play in and win the BCS national championship. Alabama leads the series 42-34-1.

Famous quotes containing the words iron and/or bowl:
“Let us roll all our strength, and all
Our sweetness, up into one ball:
And tear our pleasures with rough strife,
Thorough the iron gates of life.
Thus, though we cannot make our sun
Stand still, yet we will make him run.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
“One bowl is quiet; two bowls will clang together.”
—Chinese proverb.
