Fun fact..bear was burried with 2 rings.. his wedding band and his junction boy's ring aka Texas a&m. Paul told me in 79 he felt terrible for doing that to those boys.
Back when playing college football was akin to preparing for battle. Not saying its easy now, but players werent getting paid millions, or sleeping in 5 star hotels or eating lobster tail.
I'm so thankful he had that 7 year stint in Tuscaloosa. Great years and I love that man.

That's cruel right there.
Notice Coach Stallings had no trouble remembering 41-9. I bet not.
Was Stallings portrayed in the Junction Boys movie?
If he was, it might’ve been under a fictional name. Most of the players names were fictionalized.
