I feel like I gave you this idea and you had to look on our team board to find it.

I have no problem admitting that. I frequently check team boards for practice notes around this time, then got stuck in a wikipedia hole looking at Civil War information regarding the campus razing.

quote: The University of Alabama, located about a mile from downtown, had converted to a military form of governance in 1860. After Alabama seceded from the Union the following year, it became the “West Point of the South,” supplying the Confederacy with 7 generals, 25 colonels, 14 lieutenant colonels, 21 majors, 125 captains, 273 staff and other commissioned officers and 294 private soldiers.
That's a lot of inbreeding. Probably had a lot to do with us losing.

The University of Alabama shut down for 6 years? Maybe the Civil War wasn't so bad after all.
