What led to the iconic photo of Uga V and the Auburn player?

In 1996, a photographer for the Montgomery Advertiser snapped a picture that is somewhat of a legend in the world of college football. The image shows Uga V, the University of Georgia’s live bulldog mascot, lunging toward an Auburn University football player during a game. The photograph isn’t just an unforgettable image ; it speaks to the depth of the rivalry between the two teams. The annual matchup is famously referred to as the "Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry." The teams first went head-to-head on the football field more than 130 years ago, on February 20, 1892. Watch this video to hear the story behind the photo of Uga and the Auburn player. It’s been 30 years since that picture was taken, and Charles Seiler, the man holding Uga’s leash, told USA TODAY what led to that historic moment and what he says is the “most famous” picture of himself. Back in 1996, football stadiums didn’t have jumbotrons. So, to see the play, Seiler and Uga V had to move closer to the field to follow the action. “It was a long play,” Seiler says. “An Auburn player made a good play. Caught the ball, ran in the end zone.” The

Jason Isbell Pledges ‘Alabama Blue’ Album If Doug Jones Wins Governor Race

In 2020, Jason Isbell made a promise: If Joe Biden won Georgia in the presidential election, he would record an album of covers dedicated to the Peach State. Despite President Trump’s futile attempt to “find” additional Republican votes, Democrats took Georgia — and the White House. And Isbell made good on his pledge. He released the excellent Georgia Blue in October of 2021, which included his take on songs by Georgia artists alongside special guests Brittney Spencer, Brandi Carlile, Julien Baker, and Amanda Shires, who also designed the cover art. All proceeds went to Georgia-based charities Black Voters Matter, Stand-Up Georgia, and Fair Fight. Jason Isbell and Drive-By Truckers Reunite in Alabama Now Isbell, who hails from Alabama, is pledging another set of covers, one dedicated to his home state and Democratic gubernatorial nominee Doug Jones. “We will most happily record and release an Alabama Blue album, covering our favorite Alabama artists, if Doug Jones wins the governor’s race,” Isbell posted on social media. “Easiest decision of my life.” It’s not just lip service on Isbell’s part. He has been active on the campaign trail this year, appearing at events such as a September rally in Mobile, and the campaign’s

3 Lost Alabama Neighborhoods That Disappeared From the Map

Alabama’s missing neighborhoods are sometimes hidden beneath places whose present purpose seems obvious: a military installation, industrial land or a redeveloped city center. Their earlier residential lives can be much harder to see. The houses are gone, street patterns have changed, and a name that once meant home may appear mainly in an archive.
