re: Georgia beating Notre Dame in the 1981 Sugar Bowl was a big deal for the SEC

A cop on the floor of the dome said, "Thank God they ain't armed." A female member of the Notre Dame band, holding onto her flute as she surveyed the incredible scene before her, said,"If it meant that much , I'm glad Georgia won." It meant that much. Grown men cried. A man kissed Georgia defensive coach Erskine Russell squarely on the top of his bald head. Erk just smiled. I saw a man get down on all fours and bark like a dog and try to bite a passerby.
