Charles Barkley has always been confident in his alma mater.
That was even more evident on Saturday when he joined ESPN’s College GameDay pre-game show as the guest picker for the Alabama-Auburn game, along with several other games.
“I’m just going to say this … A few years ago, it was the Kick Six,” Barkley said during the picks segment. “Today, it’s going to be the ‘Kick Ass.’ War Eagle.”
Hopefully Auburn’s team is as confident as Barkley, who played basketball for Auburn from 1981 to 1984.
The sixth-ranked Tigers host No. 1 Alabama at 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS. The winner of this year’s Iron Bowl will represent the SEC West in Atlanta for the SEC Championship Game.
Great stuff here from Barkley. Check it out below, courtesy of a video posted on Twitter by Sports Illustrated:
