Our program was extremely poor so we would sell home games to other schools or cities. Plus, Sville did not have the hotels to house people for home games. So to keep the sports programs alive- we just kept selling home games. We played Auburn in different cities in Alabama. We played LSU in BR like 22 straight seasons. We did start playing more games in Jackson as it started to become more of a money maker for us there. People just werent driving to Sville to go to a game

You got to look at the history and how poor we have been as a state and how it greatly affected our football program
