SEC was headquartered in Jackson at the time. REC recruited them to Birmingham later.
Mississippi schools pissed on opportunity yet again.
Wasn't this the season that Sewanee played like 6 games in 8 days?

That was 1899. Just a few years before.

Man, Tulane was a powerhouse.
Yes they were in the day it would appear. Imagine the hatred between them and the corndogs in those days.

With the strict conference scheduling now, it's tough to imagine what scheduling was back in the day. For years the SEC teams belonged to the SIAA which was just a grouping of common teams. The conference never set up conference games, nor did it give out conference championships. The same applied for the first few years of the Southern Conference. Conferences did not set up the schedules.
It was around the 60s that the SEC required 6 conference games. It was after that they they took a hand in scheduling themselves. Things have been so structured, it's hard to imagine them not being so.

I know Tonto Coleman tried structuring things in the late sixties but it was H. Boyd McWhorter who really got everything going in the right direction for the conference, although he doesn't get the credit he deserves. He was a UGA guy but probably the first very very intelligent man to lead the conference and recognize where it could go if things were handled properly out of the Commissioner's office.
Roy Krammer took the conference to the next level in '92 after two years on the job, but everything was really put in motion by H. Boyd McWhorter before he resigned in '86.
That's why the scholar-athlete award for the conference is named the H. Boyd McWhorter Award.
It's hard to believe, looking at the conference now, that the SEC was so disorganized prior to the late 70s, and little wonder why the PAC12 and Big 10 sort of dominated the media's perception of powerhouse conferences until then.

11 ties. weird.
The 2 point conversion only came into play in the late 50's.
It cut down on ties dramatically. Before it ties were extremely common as teams often had no choice in the matter.
