[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 709466, member: 2175"] Pretty funny. In that "interesting if true" category. But more to the point, I think Dodd had visions of being Notre Dame; he was furious that Bryant was holding what amounted to mass tryouts before sending dozens of players home too late to get another offer, and that the SEC stood mute to clear violations, and maybe as importantly, he never got past -- as many of us didn't -- that Chick Graning mugging that almost killed him and ended his career while Bryant, though obviously in a difficult spot, backed his linebacker and denied an intentional shot though film showed clearly an elbow to the face of a helpless punt returner. It didn't help that said LB ran off the field celebrating to a sideline giving him what amounted to a standing ovation. And of course there was the sudden and unexpected space exploration program that refocused GT's mission and in all fairness made it impossible to compete in the SEC going forward. Leaving the SEC was mistake no. 1. Going independent was mistake no. 2. (Tech did the impossible: spilled the milk twice.) [/QUOTE]
