DAWG TRIVIA

Jeezy Kreezy, these are getting tough! Here's one that should be fitting, for the 75th anniversary of the SEC:

Name the three coaches who won conference titles for the Dawgs BEFORE the Southeastern Conference was formed. Bonus points for the years and names of the conferences.

I bellieve one was called the Southern Conference.

It was the SIAA (yes, southern conference) in 1896 and 1920, and I know they won the 1927 National Championship. (Is that what you were looking for????) The coaches were Pop Warner, Stegeman, and Woodruff, respectively. Of course in both 1896 and 1920, they were CO-champions.

Here's mine, and since I had to dig for the answer to that question, I learned this, hence it becomes part of the trivia game.

Catfish made a tackle on a Yale player that elicited the comment \"Say here. There are some things that just don't go in this game.\"

Catfish, in the great Georgia tradition of smack talk said \"You're right. And that thing is _____ _____.\" What was the two word answer Catfish gave to this Yale player????

I don't know this one!! What DID he say?? I'll bet that was an entertaining read!!

Okay, this one's a little easier: Of whom was Vince Dooley speaking when he said \"I have always had a great affection for those who came off the bench and performed, and he did that and had a great time?\"

This one he said about Otto.

The answer is \"Albie Booth\", the Yale star running back. I found it at a site called \"Leonard's Pigskin History\" and it goes like this (according to Leonard's)

Yale's main man was a 144-pound All-American halfback named Albie Booth. Booth's nickname was \"Little Boy Blue\" and the \"Mighty Atom.\" Booth couldn't get loose from the Georgia defense all day long.

On one play, Georgia end \"Catfish\" Smith stopped Booth in the backfield with a gut-busting tackle, and Booth said to Smith, \"Look here, there are some things that don't go in this game.\" \"I know,\" said Smith, \"and one of them is Albie Booth.\"

Now THAT is classic Georgia smack talk--old school style.
