At the time I was stationed in England and was TDY to Kapaun Air Station, Germany. We were on a bus, riding from Kapaun to Rhein Main Air Base, which actually sat on the opposite side of the runway of Frankfurt Intl., for our return trip back to the UK. I had my "ghetto blaster" stereo with me and was scanning the different Armed Forces Network radio stations, picking up the game until the station faded out, scanning and finding the next one until it faded out, as we rode the bus.
By the time we got to the MAC terminal at Rhein Main the game was already over, the Dawgs having won 13-7. But the game was still on AFN TV, with a one-hour delay in the broadcast. They had the game on all of the TVs in the MAC terminal. That was the first TV Dawgs play I had seen since the Sugar Bowl win over Notre Dame. There was a loud-mouthed guy there who was a Clemson fan, urging anybody to bet him, as he was saying that Clemson was going to win. I couldn't bring myself to take advantage of him in his zeal, as I already knew the final score.
