College Football Star Claims Iconic Stadium is 'Cursed'
There is a lot of wackiness when it comes to college football, but that's what makes the sport so special.
Whether it be traditions where you touch a rock or old sign, don't wear a certain color, or don't use a certain letter to spite your rival, the pageantry in college football is what sets it apart from other sports. Another aspect that sets it apart is just how special each and every home stadium is. There are iconic moments that happened in the stadium and legends who came before us who are honored in one way or another.
When it comes to one particular stadium in the SEC, there may also be some non-physical happenings that have impacted games.
At least that is what Georgia quarterback Carson Beck told new SEC quarterback Jackson Arnold of Oklahoma.

While the two were counselors at the Manning Passing Academy earlier this month, Beck warned Arnold about Auburn's Jordan-Hare stadium. The Sooners are set to take on the Tigers in what will be their first road game as an SEC program, in a stadium that holds around 90,000 people and, according to Beck, is "cursed".
"I've never been to the stadium before, but when I was at the Manning Passing Academy, I was talking to Carson Beck about it (Jordan-Hare), and he claimed the place was cursed," Arnold told reporters about Auburn's home stadium. "I'm really excited. First SEC away game -- I grew up watching Auburn-Georgia games on the T.V., so I know how special that stadium is..."
Beck's Bulldogs will not have to play in the so-called "cursed" stadium this year and won't play against Oklahoma in the regular season. However, they do have tough road trips to Austin, Tuscaloosa, and Oxford on the docket.
