Based on my research, Alabama started practicing first of the 1892 teams.

The first practice? since you say they started first. Did they practice for almost a year before their first game?

Auburn and Georgia first played in February 1892. So I'd imagine they started practicing in December/January.

Auburn played the first football game in the Deep South in 1892 against the University of Georgia at Piedmont Park in Atlanta, Georgia.

Exactly, lots of practice and scrimmages in 1891, no official games until the next year, I think sometime in November.

Only because most of the roads Columbia weren't yet fit for the Schloemer Motor Wagons and Phillion Steam Cars that were used to transport our football team at the time.

Because your founder of alabama football according to Wiki didnt even go to bama until 1892. So they started a team before they started a team?

Little returned to Livingston in 1892 after his brother died and then he enrolled at Alabama. Little then proposed the university field a football team, and one was introduced for the 1892 season.

According to my research, Alabama Law Student began teaching fellow students how to play Football in early 1892 after learning the game in Andover, MA, and an official team of 19 players was formed later that fall.

I'll email you the references when I get home tonight. Don't know about wiki, I guess they are wrong. Some random person probably just typed what they heard.
Or maybe the team wasn't officially "Alabama" football team until 1892, but they had the group of people playing it that were to make up the 1892 team the year before.

So in other words Alabama likely didn't play a game until 1893.
You can't help but appreciate the miracle of the University of Alabama math.
