Alex Golesh took his first Iron Bowl loss before coaching a game at Auburn

As the head coach of Auburn, it's probably good for Alex Golesh to get used to Iron Bowl disappointment.

He inherited a program on the Plains that has lost six consecutive games to rival Alabama. Going deeper, Auburn has only won four out of the last 18 Iron Bowls.

Golesh, like his predecessors, is going to lose to Alabama. Probably a lot.

He got his first taste of an Iron Bowl loss on Saturday on the hardwood instead of the gridiron. After Golesh bumped off at the gums about Charles Bediako's inclusion on the Crimson Tide roster and poked fun at Alabama's loss to Tennessee in Bediako's re-debut, his words came back to bite him in the butt.

Unfortunately for Golesh and his new friend Steven Pearl, it worked out a lot better when Alabama played Auburn on the road this weekend, with Nate Oats and the Crimson Tide walking out of the Jungle with a 96-92 win over the Tigers, the second straight and third win in four meetings for Alabama in Neville Arena.

Alex Golesh's Charles Bediako comments came back to haunt Auburn

Celebrating the success others have against Alabama only to watch your own team consistently lose to them is an Auburn tradition unlike any other. It's actually line seven of the Creed. Golesh will clearly fit in well on the Plains.

It's got to sting, though. Because in every sport, Alabama is Auburn's Super Bowl, and the Tigers lose the Super Bowl like they are the Buffalo Bills and it's always the 1990s.

That kind of disappointment is good for Golesh to get used to quickly. There's going to be a lot of it to come during his time at Auburn. Kalen DeBoer and the Alabama football program are going to continue to consistently win the rivalry matchup, just like Nate Oats is going to consistently beat the Nepotism hire now coaching the basketball program.
