AUBURN — The 2019 Iron Bowl saved its most riveting moment until after the clock hit zero as two middle-aged female Auburn football fans became an overnight meme following their determined effort to climb through the iconic Jordan-Hare Stadium hedges that border the playing surface and join their younger brethren storming the field.
The fans clambered onto the field following Auburn’s victory over Alabama after Crimson Tide kicker Joseph Bulovas missed a game-tying 30-yard field goal in the waning moments of the game, which could have sent the contest into overtime.
As we learned from these two valiant women: storming the field can be tricky.
