One of the most significant games in SEC history is here.
We witnessed some shocking, landscape-rumbling upsets in the first full week of the 2023 college football season. Colorado and coach Deion Sanders went to TCU as 28-point underdogs and left Fort Worth as the biggest story in the sport. On Sunday, FSU announced its return and exposed LSU in the process. On Monday night, Clemson went to Duke and left Dabo Swinney’s soul on the footsteps of Wallace Wade Stadium.
For Texas, the stakes of this game feel a lot like Alabama’s famous trip out West way back in 1926. The Crimson Tide’s victory against Washington in the Rose Bowl has been called “The Game that Changed the South.” It was Alabama’s first bowl game and first national championship. The Crimson Tide was celebrated throughout the South on its train trip back to Alabama.
And isn’t it something more than curious that Texas and Alabama agreed to a home-and-home series that lined up perfectly with Texas joining the SEC?It’s no secret that Texas wanted to hire Nick Saban in 2013. Alabama held off the Longhorns 10 years ago, but Bevo kept coming. Instead of stealing Saban away from Alabama, Texas began making plans to rip the cape off of the Crimson Tide in a more meaningful way.
