It’s Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry week! 🏈 Looking back at this photo I took during a visit to @hargrettlibrary back in 2023: Vince Dooley’s Auburn letterman sweater. Before bringing six SEC titles and a national championship to Athens, he wore orange and blue on the Plains. Nice piece of rivalry history sitting right on UGA's campus. #GoDawgs #UGAvsAUB
