TheIronBowlisBetter.com benefiting Rise International
We believe the Iron Bowl is the greatest college football rivalry. Period. Not USC/Notre Dame, not Army/Navy, not Oklahoma/Texas, and certainly not Michigan/Ohio State. Football in the state of Alabama is a 365 day-a-year obsession. In other states, college football is a sideshow at the fair, just one of many attractions. In our state, college football is THE fair. There isn’t a bigger act in town. Ever since we could talk, we’ve been cheering for our team and hating the other. If you don’t understand, come live in our state for a year.
We set up TheIronBowlisBetter.com as another way to prove that the passion of the Alabama and Auburn fanbases is bigger, crazier, and more intense than anyone else out there. We’re two normal guys—an Auburn fan and an Alabama fan—leading a movement to raise $54,000 to build a school in Africa in 21 days. From now until the Iron Bowl on November 27, 2009, we’re challenging all Tiger and Tide fans to give big.
Some have said that the Michigan/Ohio State rivalry is the greatest. We disagree. We actually think their rivalry is America’s 2nd Greatest Football Rivalry. We know some of them disagree. So when we reach our goal of $54,000 we are going to fly an airplane over 100,000+ Wolverine/Buckeyes fans letting them know with a banner that the Iron Bowl is Better.
Thank you for giving!
