Dogs in Autumn: The History of American Football

4 - Way Down Yonder: Early Southern Football


Listen Later

In today's episode, I'm taking a stroll through the early landscape of football in the Southeast. We'll touch on the lost titan Sewanee--probably most famous today as a quirk in Alabama's fight song--as well as the first meeting between the Auburn Tigers and Georgia Bulldogs in 1892. We'll also introduce football in the HBCUs, in anticipation of a more in-depth look at them later.
