That’s pretty funny. You made a little pun by referring to Legion Field as Lesion Field, didn’t you? Did they teach you that in Sociology class?

I never praised the ‘tradition’ of Legion Field. I never particularly liked for Bama to play there and I’m glad that Bryant-Denny now has the seating capacity to host big home games. Auburn also played their bigger home games in either Birmingham or Montgomery before Jordan-Hare stadium was enlarged.

You can spew adolescent comments to your heart’s content, but you can’t refute the hard facts that I have presented. Neither Alabama, nor Auburn has gained a ‘home field advantage’ since the neutral site concept was abandoned for the game formerly known as the Iron Bowl. Bama will kick Auburns tail again this November — not because of where the game is played, but because Bama has a better football team than Auburn this year.

The lost tradition has nothing to do with any particular stadium. It has to do with the loss of the 50-50 ticket split and the neutral site hosting of the game. It was probably inevitable anyway, because neither Birmingham nor Montgomery currently offers a viable venue for hosting the game. Still, the fact remains that the tradition was abandoned earlier than necessary because of Auburn’s whining and the record proves that Auburn didn’t get what they wanted after all. They only proved my point: Excuses are for losers.

RTR!!!
