BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville couldn't resist taking another playful poke at Alabama's Iron Bowl losing streak.
Tuberville raised seven fingers in the air while celebrating his team's win in a flag football game on a tour of U.S. military bases in the Middle East. The Tigers are seeking a seventh straight Iron Bowl win.
Tuberville says some of the troops encouraged him to make the gesture when they were carrying him off the field following the flag football victory.
He says it was meant to get a laugh and he even received a little encouragement from an Alabama fan on hand.
Tuberville was once photographed on a bowl trip to Orlando wearing a "Fear the Thumb" T-shirt after win No. 4.
