For those who love history, check out this synopsis of the 1899 game, written back in 2013 by the historian, WarEagle Reader on his blog.

Basically one of the games counted today as a tie should have been an Auburn win but was wiped away due to the sun beginning to go down. Despite Auburn leading and holding possession of the ball with only seconds to play, the game was called a forfeit due to darkness and the points were wiped away resulting in a 0-0 tie.

1996 version of the DSOR was the first overtime game in SEC history. 4 OTS with UGA winning 56-49. UGA had NO business winning that game but in the series both teams have been guilty of winning some they had no shot to win.....
It really is kind of a "under the radar" rivalry...there is not nearly the contempt and disgust between the 2 fan bases as there is in most rivalries. It gets heated but not like the Iron Bowl or the Cocktail Party. There seems to be some mutual respect. 2 of the top coaches both schools have had played at the other school....Vince Dooley played at Auburn and Pat Dye played at UGA. There are sooooooo many ties between Auburn and UGA like that...it really is a pretty unique rivalry that kind of flies under the radar because there is not usually a lot of hatred between the 2.
