re: Confederate States Conference

Good read, Busey. But believe it or not the team that created big time college football in the South is Vanderbilt. They were the first ones to play the powerhouse teams from the northeast on a regular basis. As their coach said to his team before their 1910 game with Yale, "Some of your grandfathers rest in Confederate cemeteries and this afternoon on the football field you will meet the grandsons of the Yankee sons of bitches who put them there."
