Iron Bowl hero worship: Punt Bama Punt player offers advice to Auburn's Chris Davis | AL.com - Jon Solomon - Before Chris Davis, there was David Langner. Before Kick Bama Kick, there was Punt Bama Punt. And in the coincidence of all coincidences, Davis and Langner both graduated from Woodlawn High School in Birmingham.
Saban turns into goat to end Iron Bowl for Tide | Examiner.com - Robert Dougherty - Before the Iron Bowl on Nov. 30, Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide could do no wrong. Saban had already won three titles in four seasons for Alabama, with the Tide three wins from an unprecedented three-peat. Yet in the longest second in Iron Bowl history, the Auburn Tigers turned Saban into a goat and destroyed the Tide's dynasty.
Paul Crouch dies at 79; founded Trinity Broadcasting Network - LATimes.com - Elaine Woo - The extravagance carried over to Crouch's personal life, provoking criticism from watchdog groups as well as members of his family. He and his wife had access to TBN's multimillion-dollar private jets and more than two dozen ministry-owned homes, including his-and-her mansions in Newport Beach, a mountain retreat near Lake Arrowhead and a ranch in Texas. In 2012, granddaughter Brittany Koper, who had been the network's finance director, went public with detailed allegations of fiscal improprieties, including excessive salaries, four-figure expense-account meals and a $100,000 mobile home for Jan Crouch's dogs paid with tax-exempt donations.
Nick Saban After Auburn’s Game-Winning Touchdown: “I told you!” | The Big Lead - Jason McIntyre - We’ll probably never get the full, true story on Alabama’s decision to kick a 57-yard field goal with :01 left against Auburn in the Iron Bowl. Who made the call to trot out the freshman backup kicker in such a big spot with the season on the line? Adam Griffith had attempted just two field goals this season, making a chip shot against Tennessee and missing another against Georgia State. The announcers said Griffith was making bombs in warmups, but this decision to kick was pure lunacy. And it ended in disaster, with Auburn’s Chris Davis sprinting 109 yards for the shocking game-winning score.
