PHOTO: Auburn trolls Alabama with new gloves for this year's Iron Bowl
Every college football team has its own sacred traditions. Alabama, for example, has adopted "Sweet Home Alabama" as one of its team anthems (performed by a band from the state of Florida, but that's neither here nor there).
The song is played before, during and after games, with fans screaming "Roll Tide Roll" during the chorus.
Ahead of the 2015 edition of the Iron Bowl, Alabama's big-time in-state rivals (the Auburn Tigers) are trolling their friends with some new gloves that will be making their debut this weekend:
