Auburn was not an easy place to get to back then. In the 60's, even 280 was a winding little highway all the way from Birmingham. Imagine how hard it was on UT to travel by bus from Knoxville. They played them in Birmingham until 1980 or so.


Correct

we didnt see a need to play Auburn. auburn needed us but we could do fine without Auburn. When the state forced us to play we said ok but we wont play in Auburn.

If the Bama administration hadnt become so weak in the 80's we still wouldnt be playing there. Thats why if Auburn moves to the east and we stop the game, which we will, that will be the comeuppance we've been waiting for since the state MADE us play. Auburn was UAB or Troy with a better campus. Florida played there but Florida was worse than Auburn. florida just wanted to be recognized in some form. Tennessee didnt need them either. UT first went there in 78, and had a 42-0 lead at halftime


This reads as some sort of collection of minced memories sprinkled with a little hate and probably some frustration over a hot day in your strip mall town.

The funny part is his manifesto goes out the window considering no one went to Tuscaloosa as well
