Newman once said, "Football is a religion in the Southland, played by the boys and relived daily by their families." When Travis Tidwell led Auburn defeated Alabama in 1949, Newman wrote "There has never been a sweeter Auburn victory in all the 58 years of football on the Plains than the Tigers 14-13 win over Alabama."
