In 1899 a small college football team achieved the impossible: They won five games in six days while traveling 2,500 miles by train. During their 12-0 season, the Sewanee Tigers beat the best teams in the South. The story of the 1899 Iron Men has all the hallmarks of fiction; yet, as former Sewanee Vice Chancellor John McCardell has noted, "It's more than lore - it's true."  It ranks as one of the greatest achievements in the history of sports.
