After Auburn's recent loss to Alabama in the Iron Bowl, my daughter, who is also an Auburn graduate, said somewhat tongue in cheek that she felt that the three Iron Bowl losses in a row might be Karma's way of balancing Alabama's grief from the Kick 6. She was of course referencing the pay for it after you do it kind of Karma as depicted in "My Name is Earl" and not the Hindu / Buddhist type.
As I said, she was making a joke but it got me to thinking. The greatest Auburn wins in the Iron Bowl in my memory are the 17-16 in 1972, the Camback in 2010 and of course the aforementioned Kick 6 in 2013. A quick check of Iron Bowl history indicates that it took Auburn 9 years to pay Karma back for the 17-16 and it took 2 years and 2 trees to pay back the Camback. Based on the fact that the mere mention of the Kick 6 still causes some Alabama fans to have their eyes roll back in their head and they begin foaming at the mouth, it may take Auburn a hell of a long time to pay Karma back for that one.
Just something to think about :<)
