Current SEC ref David Smith was the QB in that game.

He was injured at the date of the first game, which was postponed. But I believe it was Bama Coach Bill Curry who made the decision not to go. And some of their fans called us "the yellow tide" for it too, as I recall. At least until we came with Smith and thumped them pretty good, with Derrick Thomas doing most of the thumping.
