When asked about his team being disappointed about not playing in a bowl game, he said the following. “We’ve got our bowl game. We have it every year. It’s the Iron Bowl in Birmingham.” Through the early 20th Century, Birmingham was a leading industrial city known for the production of pig iron, coke, coal, and steel. Through the 1998 season, all but four of the Iron Bowls were played in Birmingham.
