I think, back in the day Aburn greased the train tracks so when the Rambling Wrecks' train came into the station it couldn't stop.
Maybe a boog can tell it better than me.

Auburn vs Georgia Tech
quote:

GREASING THE TRACKS

The night before an 1896 football game with their arch-rival Georgia Tech, a group of Auburn students set out for the local train station. To greet the arriving Tech team, the Auburn kids decide to do a particularly impressive job of the old "greasing the tracks" prank, covering the rails around the station and well down the line heading out of town. When the Tech train rolls in the next morning, it can't stop and reportedly slides for 10 miles, leaving the team an its accompanying fans well outside their intended destination. Forced to walk into town for the game, the players are so exhausted when they finally reach the field, Tech loses 45 to nothing.
