Episode airs as part of eight-part radio series exploring the history, intensity and emotions of some of the game’s most storied matchups

Air dates: Nov. 23 (7:00 pm ET), Nov. 24 (4:00 pm ET), Nov. 26 (2:00 pm ET), Nov. 27 (6:00 am ET & 11:00 pm ET)
Listeners will hear from: Former Alabama QB Joe Namath, Alabama coach Nick Saban, Auburn coach Gus Malzahn, former Alabama QB Greg McElroy, former Auburn WR Sammie Coates, former Alabama coach Gene Stallings, former Auburn coach Pat Dye, former Auburn lineman Kendall Simmons, former Alabama star Jackie Sherrill, former Bama QB Andrew Zow, former Bama RB Derrick Lassic, former Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville and MSNBC host Joe Scarborough.
Former Bama coach Gene Stallings: “I think about the greatest rivalry in college football, that’s the first thing that comes into my mind. The thing about that game, they talk about it every day of the year in Alabama. The A&M and Texas game used to be a big rivalry but they’d talk about it the week before the game and the week after the game. The Iron Bowl they talk about every day of the year.”
Tommy Tuberville, head coach at Auburn from 1999-2008: “You talk about pressure, pressure of losing your job is one thing, the pressure of losing the Iron Bowl is another. You can just add double pressure to that.”
MSNBC host Joe Scarborough, who was a student at Alabama from 1981-85: “My favorite memory – and it happened so quickly – was the ‘The Kick’ by Van Tiffin. … My voice is still hoarse 30 years later. It was an absolutely extraordinary moment and I can’t watch that replay without getting chills.”
