re: SEC Trivia - Which 4 teams played the 1943 Season?

While we're at it, let's go ahead and clear up that whole 1943 "men roster" that you are so concerned with. It's come to my attention that this is probably the best description of that team...

quote:

Of the 38 "men" on Georgia's 1943 roster, all but eight were only 16 or 17 years old and too young for the war's draft. The few remaining players of 18 years and older were only members of the team because they could not meet the military's physical standards. Many football programs around the country were in the same predicament as Georgia, prompting a good number of schools to cancel their '43 football campaigns. Only a day before the Bulldogs' season opener against Presbyterian, Coach Wally Butts asked his boys if they too wanted to cancel their season. They refused, joining only three (four) other SEC schools of the conference's 12 members which decided to field a football team.

So 8 who were refused duty... and 30 that were too young to go in the first place.

Sorry your shite arse school was too pussy to field a team.
