Sorry. I'm in Alabama, and they are all Bama football items.

Sometime around the turn of the century, Alabama and Auburn apparently got into a squabble so big they stopped playing each other for decades, until the 1940's. We have an end zone ticket from the first game they planed against each other after all that time.

The other item is a wartime program from a game played at the Pensacola Naval Air station. It is illustrated by someone (can't remember his name at the moment,) who is really collectible.

In 1942, Alabama did play Naval Air Station Pensacola but the game was played at Mobile, Alabama.. Alabama won the game 27-0.. In 1945 they played the Naval Base again but at home and won 55-6.. In 1948 they resumed playing Auburn
with a home win 55-0 then lost the following year to Auburn 13-14, both games played in Birmingham! Also Alabama played
Keesler Field in Alabama and won that one 27-0 in 1945..
That was the year that The United States beat the crap out of Japan and Germany until both surrendered..
