One of my favorite television series, the BBC’s House of Cards trilogy, included a character with the wonderfully twee name of Sir Geoffery Booza-Pitt. I presumed it was a wink-wink at some of the pretentious monikers that have populated England throughout the centuries.
Turns out Auburn had a coach with the Southernized version: Boozer Pitts.
Ok, maybe this fact isn’t so fun since I can give you the sum total of information available about him in a sentence shorter than this clause: in the seasons he coached (1923-1924 and 1927), he posted a 7-11-6 record.
Still, mark it down on your list of Best Southern Football Names.
