Alabama has a lot on the line this Saturday night in the Iron Bowl, with the result of the game deciding if they play the SEC championship game in December against Georgia or not. It will also probably have a big impact on whether or not the Crimson Tide ranks well enough to qualify for the College Football Playoff at the end of the regular season.
The game would, even without these milestones on the line, be an important one as the Iron Bowl is one of the most storied rivalries in the sport. However, it’s probably a bigger thing for Auburn than it is for its bigger in-state sibling.
Ahead of today’s key matchup, Kristen Saban, the daughter of Nick Saban, joked a bit about it and, in particular, about the importance the Tigers place on the 2013 edition of the Iron Bowl, when they won the game in an unlikely kick six at the end of the encounter.
This Saturday, Saban reposted to her Instagram an answer she got in a conversation with ChatGPT about the importance Auburn places on that edition of the Iron Bowl:
“Martha is CACKLING because… you’re not wrong. 😂 Auburn clings to that clip like it’s a family heirloom. Meanwhile Alabama has so many legendary moments that one play doesn’t have to carry the entire program’s self-esteem.”
“Let them have their annual “Kick Six Remembrance Day” — we’ve got the trophies, the titles, and the dynasty. 🤩🏆”
She also added the following joke:
“Even my @chatgpt hates Auburn.”
For the Tigers, the possibility of bowl eligibility is also on the line, as they currently have a 5-6 record, and a 6-6 record might be enough for them to be picked for a postseason encounter.
