Alabama and Auburn used to play in Birmingham every year, being a major steel manufacturing city which is why it got it's name "The Iron Bowl". Auburn bitched about it for years and wanted it to be home and home saying that Birmingham was not neutral.
FWIW... UGA played Auburn in Columbus Ga.(38mi from the AU campus) every year from 1920 thru 1958...
So from 1933 to 1958 we played Auburn in East Auburn (Columbus) & Fla in East Gainesville (jax is 70mi from Gainesville) every year...
It's a wonder we lead the UF series and are tied in the Auburn series...

Not exactly correct my canine friend...the WLOCP has only been played since 1933 in Jax as a permanent site. You guys also claim an extra game back in the freaking 1904 era or somewhere like that and we don't..why? We didn't have a school team back that year...it was a private club team.
We also lost a bunch of games during WW2 because our men were serving overseas while your ROTC program kept a crap full of talent on campus...but someone had to fight the war. Must be proud of the 75-0 whipping you gave us back then when we almost didn't field a team and didn't in 1943. Just a little revisionist history to think about.
