Big Game Ahead For The Dawgs!Best video of all time - I can attest to this since I was at the game (attended 5 Barnburners in a row) and loved every minute of this!
The Deep South's Oldest Rivalry is the name given to the college football rivalry between the Auburn University Tigers and the University of Georgia Bulldogs. The two schools first played each other on February 20, 1892 at Piedmont Park in Atlanta, Georgia, with Auburn winning 10-0. The teams have played each other almost every year since 1898, with only World War I and World War II preventing games from being played.
Through the 2010 season, the rivalry is tied for the seventh most played college football series at 114 games and is known as being quite even, with Auburn holding a 54-52-8 lead. To further exemplify the equality of the rivals, Georgia leads the cumulative score by thirty-eight points: 1,809-1,771, or a per-game average of 15.86-15.53. When the Southeastern Conference split into Eastern and Western divisions with Auburn in the West and Georgia in the East, the game was designated as the two teams' permanent inter-divisional match-up as an historic rivalry. Though the two teams have been among the league's most successful since 2000, they have yet to meet in a re-match in the SEC Championship Game. A first such meeting would cause this rivalry to be tied with the South's Oldest Rivalry in number of games played, and a second such meeting would cause this rivalry to surpass the South's Oldest Rivalry in terms of games played (though not in continuity).
