[QUOTE="LT 1967, post: 950498, member: 6582"] I agree that all the reasons discussed played a factor in Curry leaving Alabama. I recommend an article by Bill Curry concerning the GT-Alabama relationship. The article is titled "Holding a Grudge is Football Tradition". Easily found online by the title. Coach Curry details the 1961 game in Birmingham when he was a redshirt Sophomore. This is the game in which Tech's Chick Graning received a serious Facial injury from an Alabama Forearm. There was a lot of media fallout and hard feeling between the two schools. Curry also discusses his relationship with the Bear and their discussion about Bryant sponsoring Tech's return to the SEC. I attached two paragraphs from the article which reflects Curry's opinion that the "Grudge" concerning the 1961 game was still very much alive when he accepted the job. This is long 5-page article and would be a good read for those younger members who unaware of this history. [/QUOTE]
