That article is a nice attempt at revisionism. Unfortunately for the author, the first great southern football team was not an Alabama team.
In fact, the first great southern football team was Georgia Tech's 1917 team coached by John Heisman.
LINK
The reason they were the first "great" southern team is that they were the first team to take on an Eastern powerhouse (Penn) and win convincingly.
Sure, teams like Vanderbilt had been good for years (but always lost to Michigan or any other Big Ten team). LSU had a great year in 1908 with a (probably bought) player from Pennsylvania. LSU, however, did not play a team from the East, and Penn was widely considered the "national champ."
ETA: GT put southern football on the map in 1917. Without that season, Bama likely doesn't get invited to play in the Rose during the 20s.

Impossible. Finebaum's only been on the air since the mid 80s.
