re: Auburn Series - A history of crazy

Nobody talks about the game that was postponed due to 9/11.

It was eventually played in late November(?) for the SEC West championship. Auburn stomped on the tiger eye at mid-field during pre game warm ups. The referees assessed a15 yard penalty on the kickoff to start the game. In the locker room, Saban decided on an onside kick which LSU recovered and went on to score a TD to quickly jump out to a 7-0 lead. Tuberville was just beside himself and ranting on the sidelines.

On Auburn's ensuing possession, they quickly scored on a long TD pass to knot the score at 7-7. Tuberville wanted the lost obsession back from LSU's successful onside kick so he tried one himself. But it failed which made him look like a fool since Auburn had just seized the momentum back.

All this in the 1st quarter.
