1939 Alabama vs. Tennessee Artwork: Puzzle

By Vintage Brand™ not affiliated with or sponsored by Tennessee Volunteers
This game was played October 21, 1939 at Shields Watkins Field between the Tennessee Volunteers and Alabama Crimson Tide. The Volunteers won the matchup by a final score of 21-0 went on to win the SEC Championship. The Third Saturday in October is the Alabama–Tennessee football rivalry. It is an American college football rivalry game played annually by the Crimson Tide of the University of Alabama and the Volunteers of the University of Tennessee. It is known as the Third Saturday in October because the game was traditionally played on it prior to the 1992 football season, when the Southeastern Conference (SEC) split into its Eastern and Western divisions. In the 1950s, Jim Goostree, the head athletic trainer for Alabama, began another tradition as he began handing out cigars following a victory over the Volunteers. Both teams continued the tradition for some time, though kept it secret due to NCAA rules concerning extra benefits and tobacco products. Alabama publicly restarted the tradition in 2005, though as a result, self-reported an NCAA violation. Every year since 2005, the winning team knowingly violates the NCAA rule and reports the violation in honor of tradition.
