The Iron Snare

By: Dan Lewis

Narrated by: Mark Schectman

Proof that nothing is free (there's usually a catch): Learn about the Alabama sting operation disguised as a football ticket giveaway, on this episode of Now I Know. In the state of Alabama, one of the year’s more important events – the Iron Bowl, a college football game pitting in-state rivals Auburn University and the University of Alabama against each other – is traditionally held the day after Thanksgiving. The two schools have faced off annually since 1948 and the tradition dates back to 1893 (the game occurred annually until 1907, and then took a three-decade hiatus). Through 2015, Alabama leads the series with 44 wins to Auburn’s 35 (and one tie).
