Andy Griffith Donates His Papers to UNC Southern Historical Collection
I sure hope that one about college football is in there. That's a favorite of many folks around here.
The one with his "big o'rnge drank"
In the 1953 monologue, Griffith tells how he wondered through the woods and came upon a stadium (had to be Kenan at Chapel Hill) that he called a cow pasture. He said convicts in striped shirts ran up and down the field watching men hit each other and throw each other to the ground. Police stood by and watched the mayhem and did nothing, he said. And at one point, Griffith said, "I spilled my big orange drink,'' Griffith said.
I wonder if he kept that round pool table, one foot high, covered in leopard skin.
