One of the first posts I ever made on this site was about my belief that the Iron Bowl should be played in Birmingham. I know the million or so reasons that it is no longer practical to do so, but playing the game in Birmingham is still the ideal in my opinion. There aren't too many neutral site rivalry games left: Army v. Navy, Georgia v. Florida, and Oklahoma v. Texas are some of the few that spring to mind. What a great group of games to be included among. For some reason, the neutral site makes a special game even more special. Regardless of my belief about where the Iron Bowl should be, I can say that I'm happy that OU-Texas will remain in Dallas at least through 2015.
