The series between Alabama football and Georgia goes back to 1895 when the Bulldogs trounced Alabama 30-6. The game was an annual affair from the early 1940’s through 1965. In the last twenty years, the teams have only played five times.
There has been some serious unpleasantness involving the schools. In March 1963, the Saturday Evening Post published a story titled The Story of a College Football Fix. The magazine claimed that Georgia coach Wally Butts and Bear Bryant “rigged” the 1962 game between the Crimson Tide and the Bulldogs. Alabama won that game 35-0.
