I’ve always told people that if the AFLAC trivia question is about pre-1930 southern football, the answer is always the Sewanee Tigers. Looks like I was wrong!
Actually that's not true because the Southeastern Conference (SEC) was founded on December 8–9, 1932 at the Farragut Hotel in Knoxville, TN. My Alama Mater The University of the South at Sewanee was one of the original founding member schools. #YSR
Little chance the Farragut in question was the Admiral, I guess. Though eastern Tennesse did favor the Union, mostly ...
WAIT! It WAS named after the Union Admiral, in 1919! Wonder why. Probably the only monument to the Union military in the South at that time, or maybe ever. (Counter examples?)
Army just won their first conference championship in almost 30 years. They are nationally ranked and certainly bowl bound....Proud of the Black Knights...Go Army, Beat Navy...
SEC was never the same after the season/life ending injury to Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson. Robert Edward Lee had no answer Hiram Ulysses Grant's game plan & running back Robert Tecumseh Sherman's methodical march to the end zone
