SEC Media Days notebook: Malzahn, Bielema continue debate over hurry-up offense

Auburn's Nov. 2 game at Arkansas should be entertaining, if the war of words between new Auburn coach Gus Malzahn and new Arkansas coach Bret Bielema is any indication.

Quotable:

Nov. 18, 2011, was supposed to be a slow Friday night in Tuscaloosa. Alabama was playing its annual pre-Auburn cupcake team and had lost to LSU two weeks before. But that night Iowa State shocked then-No. 2 Oklahoma State, putting Alabama right back in the national championship picture.

I was at the local Buffalo Wild Wings and the celebration when the Cyclones won in overtime sounded like Alabama had just won the national championship. Strangers hugged and high-fived me. Downtown on The Strip, every bar was blaring Baby Bash’s “Cyclone.”

I walked up to a fraternity house with some friends, where the party was in full swing. Not being in a fraternity usually would be a problem getting in, but not tonight.

“Are you an Iowa State fan?” the man at the door asked.

“Hell yes,” I responded, and he gave me a bear hug and let me in.
