1989 Iron Bowl Will Forever be One of the Top Events of a Lifetime

It’s finally here, the biggest week of the college football season. This is Iron Bowl week. There’s nothing else like it in college sports. It’s the renewal of the nation’s No.1 rivalry … Auburn vs. Alabama. This is a series where games are remembered by special names such as, “Bo over the top,” “The Kick,” “Punt Bama punt,” “The Cam back,” and “Kick Six.” Yes, when it comes to college football, it doesn’t get any better than this.

But of all the great games of all the Iron Bowls, none stand out to me as much as December 2, 1989.
