[QUOTE="sideways fan, post: 57785, member: 1476"] Yep, ol Frank had a way with words. My dad said that he and "Peahead" Walker the coach at Wake Forest would come to Atlanta for the Touchdown Club and had a routine that left people laughing in the aisles so to speak. That said, Clemson was always my favorite road trip. Good people and good football most of the time. One time Frank Howard was bringing his Clemson team to Birmingham to play Alabama. This was probably in the late 1960s. Anyway, much was made about Alabama's undersized linemen. Coach Howard allowed that he didn't believe the weights published in the program. Coach Bryant had one of his assistants to lower the weights on one of the scales about 20 lbs (secretly of course) and invited Frank to see for himself. Coach Howard who was hefty to say the least obliged and exclaimed: "Damn Bear, these scales are accurate!" I got that story from one of Bear Bryant's biographies. Probably the same one that had him saying: "On game day I would rather look across the field and see anyone but that damn Dodd" [/QUOTE]
