With the 80th Iron Bowl looming this Saturday, November 28th in Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Coach John Ray and Doug Dean welcome special guest and Auburn legend David Housel. A veritable walking encyclopedia on Auburn vs Alabama lore and history, Mr. Housel brings perspective, humor, and insight to the discussion. Cohosts Coach John Ray and Doug Dean engage dialogue with Mr. Housel on whether the most intense rivalry in the nation has become nastier in the post-1970’s modern era, and his answer will surprise the millenials.
Coach Ray and Dean also analyze what Gus Malzahn, defensive guru Will Muschamp, and staff must do to find a way to pull what most would consider to be a shocker upset over the No. 2 in the nation ranked Alabama Crimson Tide. But would it really be a shocker, if you have an insight into the nature of this rivalry, and you consider that the 2013 Auburn Tigers were also, remarkably, a 10 ½ point underdog to the Tide in what would be immortalized as the “Kick Six” Iron Bowl. The answer looms just hours away in the Loveliest Village.
Tuning in with special interest and a “War Eagle” from Hugh Freeze will be the Ole Miss Rebels, who need an Auburn upset of the Tide and a win in the Egg Bowl to punch their first ever ticket to the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta.

Join Coach John Ray and Doug Dean as they break down what Auburn coach Gus Malzahn and his staff appeared to be working on in the Idaho win to prepare for the Iron Bowl matchup with # 2 ranked Alabama on Saturday, November 28th in Jordan-Hare Stadium.
As heavy 14 ½ point underdogs, what strategy gives Auburn the best shot to add Alabama to the growing list of highly ranked teams whose dreams get shot from the sky in November? It will almost certainly include defensive coordinator Will Muschamp’s plan to do everything possible to slow Derrick Henry and the rushing attack, putting the game in the hands of quarterback Jacob Coker, who will face his first Iron Bowl test under significant pressure.
And then there’s the little problem of how to sustain drives and score on the vaunted Tide defense . . .

Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn finds himself in quite unexpected territory at this late stage of the 2015 season, having to beat 3-7 Idaho to simply become bowl eligible. With the # 2 ranked Crimson Tide looming on November 28th in the Iron Bowl, are there steps Auburn can take to be at least competitive in an Iron Bowl that most anticipate to be a lopsided Bama win?

The improvement could be seen coming for a few weeks, but there was little reward in the form of wins.

A rabid Jordan-Hare capacity home crowd for the 11:00 a.m. Halloween game between Auburn and Ole Miss could rightly be asking, like Little Bill in the western, Unforgiven why they deserve the four losses in a frustrating 2015 football season. In college football, as Clint Eastwood’s character, William Munny, advised Little Bill, “deserve’s got nothing to do with it.”
