Let's step into the wayback machine and examine the year it was...
Richard Nixon was the President of the United States and he wasn't on the impeachment docket yet...
The Rolling Stones ended the decade with a bloody concert at Altamont where Hell's Angels killed a couple of concert attendees...
Vietnam was still rolling on, although opposition was at its peak...
Senator Edward Kennedy plead guilty to leaving the scene of the accident where Mary Jo Kopechne drowned...
Apollo 11 astronauts, John Glenn and Buzz Aldrin walked on the Moon...
The New York Jets, lead by upstart Joe Namath defeated a highly favored Baltimore team in the Super Bowl...
More than half a million people gathered in upstate New York for a little shindig they called "Woodstock"....
"Sesame Street" is introduced by the Children's Television Workshop...
The record of the year was "Mrs. Robinson" by Simon and Garfunkel...
Midnight Cowboy, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and Easy Rider all hit the big screen...
In East Central Alabama, a great young man was in utero as of November, he would be born in July of the following year. He would later gain fame as BamaPossum on numerous internet forums...
And...Vanderbilt University defeated the Alabama Crimson Tide in Nashville for the last time on October the 11th by a score of 14-10...
That's right, the year was 1969, and although Vanderbilt has beaten Alabama in Alabama since then, they have not defeated the Crimson Tide on their own turf since.
Let's hope the tradition continues...
Roll Tide!
