Neyland vs The Bear - Long Look Back

General Neyland never lost to Bear Bryant. Here's the KNS story about the 1947 victory over the Bear-led Wildcats. (from my late father's newspaper collection)

Boy does that bring back memories of 1967 and reading Bill Dyer's Dyergram of the game in the Sunday morning paper. Every play of the game in cartoon form.

That's awesome that you kept those. Growing up in the 70's and 80's, this is what I lived for on Sunday mornings. I'd grab that paper and just loved that all those scores were printed across the top of the page since there were so few games on TV at the time.
