While reading the article from The Advocate this morning about the White suspension, and possible white out, I decided to skim over the comments to see what was being said about the article. One of the comments caught my eye and raised the question, "is this true?" What it revealed I found a bit amusing.
Err, no.
I knew that the commissioners position was created in the early 40's before I started looking at what he was saying here. I also knew that the original commissioner was the governor of Mississippi and he was in Jackson. So, it left me wondering at what point did the office move to Birmingham?
Was that a move started by someone with Alabama ties? Ah, but no. It wasn't a Bama led move. In fact, as it ends up, the very thing that LSU fans are complaining about happened on the watch of one Bernie Moore who had the office for 18 years.
And just where did Bernie come from? He is former athlete from ...
Louisiana State University.
The SEC office has to be somewhere. I think I was told that it was in Atlanta at one time, and it was widely bruited that Bobby Dodd and Georgia Tech got special treatment.
