World War I was raging and nobody won

It was late November of 1914. The Plainsmen of Auburn had not lost a game in two years.
In fact, the football team from the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, as Auburn was known in those days, had only surrendered two touchdowns over the course of two seasons. The squad had, during that 15-game stretch, outscored foes 410-13.
quote:
The game story that day, what with it being in the Macon paper, bore a decided Georgia slant. The final score was 0-0, yet it was a triumph of sorts for UGA.
“Georgia Holds Auburn For A Scoreless Tie,” the headline declared above a subhead that noted, “Game at Atlanta Replete With the Unexpected.”

So they were plainsmen before tigers?
I actually like plainsmen as a mascot. AU should adopt that. It is unique and sorta intimidating.

At that time I think Georgia's team was still "The Red and Black".... it was right around that time they were named "Bulldogs" by a newspaper reporter who described them as such in an article.
