The Wheelhouse Pub, a Tuscaloosa establishment, had an interesting stat to tweet out.

The Bama Hammer Podcast host Micah Sutton sent out some sound advice, while another Crimson Tide fan sent a well deserved shoutout to former Tide DB Maurice Smith. Tuscaloosa News contributor Aaron Suttles reminded everyone in the state that the Iron Bowl is, well, just a game. We’re sure that everyone took his reminder into account.

A few former Alabama football stars weighed in before kick.

Perhaps the funniest part of the pregame was the false confidence from the Auburn side. 5-star offensive tackle commit Calvin Ashley had no worries along with several in the Auburn fanbase.

THE GAME

The first half was shaky at moments, and the Crimson Tide pulled away in the second half. During the game, several fans and former players sent out live tweets during the game.

Lane Kiffin hit us all with a very predictable first play of the game.

We never would have guessed that Daniel Carlson would make a field goal.

After a freshman quarterback hits a freshman wide receiver for for positive yards with a freshman running back in the backfield and a freshman blocking at right tackle, I believe the “freshman don’t play at Alabama” narrative in recruiting might be dead. I think I sense some sarcasm in this tweet.

Former players tweeted with the highs and lows of the Iron Bowl.

Cornelius Bennett seemed to be slightly annoyed by the analysis of Gary Danielson.

Joe Namath joining Verne and Gary in the booth was interesting.

Auburn went to its last resort at quarterback with Last Chance U star John Franklin.

ESPN notifications sent out a slight type after an ArDarius Stewart touchdown.

Former Alabama long snapper Carson Tinker presented the toughest question of all time on Saturday.

As a number of running backs showed out against Auburn, 247Sports’ Travis Haney sent out an entertaining tweet.

Reggie Ragland thought bringing back Dixieland Delight at the end of the Iron Bowl would be a good idea, and so did the students.

AFTER THE GAME

Comedian Funny Maine let his thoughts on Auburn be known, and several other fans did as well.

A couple of media members and former players sent out post-game tweets.

And finally, the current players were excited for their third straight Iron Bowl victory.
