During Tommy Tuberville's ten years at Auburn, the coach basically took ownership of the Iron Bowl.
He was 7-3 versus Alabama, including a six-game winning streak from 2002 through 2007. (However, that Mike Shula was the Tide's head coach during four of those wins, so the streak and mystical Tuberville powers should be taken with a grain of salt the size of Mark Mangino.)
Now, he'll likely get the chance to see if the spell still holds over the Tide, albeit at a different school.
According to the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, Tuberville's new school, Texas Tech, has agreed to open the 2012 season against Alabama. If the one-game deal goes off as expected, it would be played at the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium.
"We've agreed to do it," Myers said. "I think Alabama's agreed to do it. But we haven't gotten down to signing a contract or anything like that.'
"Coach Tommy Tuberville is aware of the game and is in support of playing it. I understand Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban is also on board for it. We're in the talking stages, but we haven't gotten down to talking contract with it yet."
Tuberville was 1-1 versus Saban with the Tigers, although that one loss was a 36-0 pounding in 2008.
