CFI: THIS DATE IN HISTORY


Nov. 14, 1899: Sewanee (now University of the South) tops Mississippi to complete an amazing five-win road trip in six days. Other key victories come over Texas 12-0, Texas A&M 10-0, Tulane 23-0, and LSU 34-0. The trip covers more than 3,000 miles, and the small charter steam train carrying the team makes stops at apple orchards along the way to feed Sewanee student-athletes.
