4 hours 30 minutes and counting

Today's the day; the day when everybody in the state of Alabama converges in Tuscaloosa to divide themselves up between what is The University of Alabama and Auburn University. It's the Crimson and White versus the Blue and Gold.

The past six years, it's been "fear the thumb," and "fear the finger," for Alabama fans. Despite all the other obstacles the University has overcome, the Crimson Tide has been defeated six consecutive times against the Tigers. Six years...

Then came this season. Alabama wins not one or two, but heads into the most anticipated game of the season to face their biggest rival undefeated. Auburn limps into the arena with a challenging season. And all throughout Tuscaloosa, retribution wafts in the air.

It's been six years of tension, t-shirts, taunting and embarrassment.

I can't wait to give Auburn fans the finger!
