[QUOTE="Heisman's Ghost, post: 681051, member: 4015"] That's a good story but I got that beat: Clemson was playing Alabama some time in the mid 1960s. Clemson was famous for big, albeit slow, linemen while Alabama was notoriously, small, fast, and mean. The press loved the theatrics and spectacle of big Clemson against highly rated but much smaller Alabama. Frank claimed all week that Alabama was bigger than the announced weights and offered to check the scales for the Bear. The Bear, who could be deviously clever when it suited him agreed but told the trainers to secretly rig the scales to record 25lbs less. Much to the delight of the assembled press, Frank, who was huge himself, gets on the scales and shouts: "Damn Bear, these scales are right after all!!" Fun times, but you will never see something like that again. Of course, Frank and the Bear had rigged the whole thing for the amusement of the press and to get publicity for their respective teams.
