It’s rivalry week in college football. While the rest of the country(and ESPN) is enraptured with Ohio State vs. Michigan, in Alabama one rivalry is king. Alabama vs. Auburn. The Iron Bowl. And in honor of Iron Bowl week, I humbly present to you the Iron Bowl Scorinator. It’s a program I wrote a couple of years ago that you can use to torment your friends with. Just put this executable on their computer and put a shortcut to it in their startup menu with the appropriate switches in place. They will be presented with the score of the game and your team’s logo and fight song blaring through their speakers.

Here is what it looks like in action:

So if you’re an Auburn fan and they win 44-7 just run it like this:

> c:\ironbowl.exe /w-au /s-44-7 /f

Or an Alabama fan would do this:

> c:\ironbowl.exe /w-ua /s-44-7 /f

You can hit escape to close it. The /f switch makes it where it will go through at least one iteration of the fight song before allowing them to escape. Whatever you attach to the /s- switch will be displayed on the screen, so you could put anything you like as long as it’s not too long. Use the /? switch to get a list of options and usage info. As always, it’s written in assembly so it’s sure to crash your computer faster than any other language. :)
