About 100 years ago, in a land far, far away (that is, The University of Alabama), the UofA decided to put sidewalks on campus.

The school of engineering was engaged to design a layout for campus sidewalks.

The engineers came up with a magnificent plan that was going to efficiently guide the campus foot traffic.

The University's Dean looked at the elaborate plan and simply commented:

"Why don't you simply put the sidewalks where paths are worn in the grass?

I guess this explains why:
- the Stadium still bears Dean Denny's name , and
- Auburn has the good engineering school in Alabama
