It’s a landmark in Auburn pop culture references, not only for being certainly one of the earliest in film, but for the icons involved—Frank Sinatra, Angie Dickinson… that’s special.
Also, the original Oceans 11 (1960) started filming in April 1959, so it’s not like it had to be a wink from some Auburn fan screenwriter. Auburn was on top of the football world. They were at the end of half a decade’s worth of dominance over the Tide, coming off two undefeated seasons (and shoulda-been championship seasons) in a row.
