My favorite Vandy-related SEC trivia:
Paul Bryant brought the University of Alabama it's very first AP/UPI National Championship in 1961. The following season, on November 10th, 1962, the Tide defeated Miami 36-3 in Tuscaloosa for their 400th gridiron victory.
It was the first date in Crimson Tide history in which they had more football wins than Vanderbilt, who had 399 at the time, tops amongst SEC schools. The following Saturday, the Dores beat Tulane for their sole win that year, while Bama fell to Georgia Tech in Atlanta, leaving both teams tied at 400 wins exactly.
Since that date, Bama has won 470 games to Vandy's 192.
