The game kicked off on a cold, wet afternoon at 2:30 p.m. and the two teams played to a 0-0 tie at halftime.
Coach Mason, the Harvard-turned-Mississippi man, believed not in adjustments and instead attempted to keep his players loose amidst such a cold, damp day. He had a large amount of coffee prepared for his team at the break and poured in a generous amount of ninety-proof whiskey. Dumb dude.
The Rebels took the field in the second half with “an obvious glow.” In other words, they were donghoused. To no surprise, playing football absolutely delighted on giggle water did not help Ole Miss win the game. Mississippi A&M won 15-0.
The game ended and the players immediately blamed their head coach for the loss, which seems fair. When Mason faced the press, he was asked if the team were to return home that evening. Mason replied, “Yes, the team is going north at 11 o’clock. I’m going in another direction, and hope I never see them again!”
He did not, he was fired.
Never heard this before.

Yeah it's just like driving from Gwinnett County to Athens 25 years ago.

Also in 1907:
the Tigers finished up their campaign with a 48-0 blowout win over Baylor and an invitation to play the University of Havana in the Bacardi Bowl
Havana had recruited a mammoth 300-pounder to play, but (Doc) Fenton observed the player drinking more than his share of wine before the game. He instructed a teammate to hit him in the stomach on the game’s first play, and according to Fenton, “the big guy spouted wine like an artesian well. We nearly had to swim out of there.” LSU dominated from this point on, and Cuban fans lauded Fenton as “El Rubio Vaselino,” the “Vaselined Redhead” for his amazing play and slippery moves in the open field.

This is the direction football should be headed in.
