re: On this date in 1981, Bear won his 315th game to become all time leader

Was there. At that time had never seen that much press cover a game.

Sitting by my dad, who is an aubie. Del Greco hits a fg to put auburn up 17-14 in the 4th and he screamed out "we're gonna beat em". Walter Lewis then hits bendross for the td and I just looked at him and shrugged my shoulders smiling.

The image of that game was linnie Patrick, who was in Bryants doghouse all season, absolutely refusing to be tackled on the drive to put it away. Never saw him run like that again.
