Just was on air so no link yet, I was told.
Jay Barker asked why he was having a conversation with Saban and Bo Scarborough before the game.
Bo then tells the story of meeting a disabled veteran at Tiger Walk. The veterans wife said he’s been depressed and doesn’t smile much anymore.
So Bo had them meet him at the gate where the players enter. He took the veteran and his wife in, toured under the stadium, met Malzahn, met Saban and some Alabama players, showed him the field, and then walked with them to their seats. The veteran gave Bo a big hug and said with a smile on his face that he get he could die a happy man after his experiences that day.
When there was one minute left and Auburn was pretty much assured a victory, Bo left the field to sit in the locker room alone. Said the game was good but no Iron Bowl victory celebration could match how he was feeling after making a depressed veteran happy.
From al.com article:
"With a lead on No. 1 Alabama Saturday late in the third quarter, Auburn’s defensive players started the party a little early. Similarly to the second half of the Georgia game, the Tigers began dancing up and down the sideline.
But Bo knows, and he said no way.
“Mr. Bo Jackson came over there and said, ‘I don’t want to see y’all celebrating no more until that clock has zeroes on it,’ ” Auburn senior linebacker Tre’ Williams said. “That really helped us out because that helped us focus.”
