Tuscaloosa HIgh Coach Paul Burnum halftime talk to his team during the Senn of Chicago game is described in the December 2012 issue of the newsletter of The Robert E. Rodes Camp of the SCV. It was reprinted by permission from an article by James N. Harris in The Old Southern Times Magazine: "Coach Burnum walked into the dressing room , 'I'm just so ashamed to put you out there against those players from the big city, they are going to whip you; and these are the Grandsons of the men who came South and wrecked the University and raped your Grandmothers.' Halfback Dwight Deal took in what Coach had said. His Grandfather had told him about an Easter  morning in April 1865 when Yankee invaders came to their home and ate Easter eggs that were cooked for him and his sister. His Grandfather told him that when the soldiers left, they took his 13 year old brother with them and did not hear from him until the next day when he had been turned loose. 'Ok,' Coach Burnum said 'Let's go see what you can do.' "   (from the December 12, 2012 TUSCALOOSA NEWS)
