I remember that one, too. Living in Virginia Beach I had tickets to that game, but had to hunker down for Hurricane Isabel. I watched the game on a small B&W holding the tickets in my hand. Isabel went all the way to Blacksburg.

I remember it well. The storm was in the Gulf and I think it finally landed in Florida.

It was a beautiful day in College Station...in fact it never rained weeks before or after the game.

It also should be noted that Alabama had several players on the injured list during that period.

Curry and his team were chicken.

Hurricanes don't do that much damage 150 miles from the coast.

By the time we played in December the Alabama players were healthy and the Aggies had several that were injured.

I think I remember Finebaum saying something about the cancelled game on his radio program several months ago. I believed he traveled to College Station before he found out the came was postponed.
