Always wanted to see this game again. I remember it for 2 reasons. 1st) It was probably the first full game I got to see SF play that year and I was impressed with how effortlessly they seemed to win big and 2nd) I recall was in a hospital room visiting my Grandmother who was starting a slow mental decline that ended with a nursing home stay for a couple of years before she passed away. I was able to see the game because my Grandmother lived in a small north East Texas town that wasn’t too far from the Louisiana border and got most of their TV programming out of Shreveport.
I love the story about Waymer playing against Clark in High school. One of my old coworkers was a lineman on the Garinger High School team in Charlotte that Dwight Clark was on. Unfortunately these days Clark's old high school Garinger is one of the doormats in North Carolina high school football. They've held the longest losing streak in the state on more than one occasion and currently hold it. Waymer's old school West Charlotte was a power in NC 4A ball at one time winning a couple titles. They've dropped to 3A now but are still a top teams in the area.
Saints throughout the 80s always had good defense but absolutely no offense whatsoever and had just no chance against a great all round team like the Niners
Much appreciated as always!
Thank you again! Hope you are well.
Thank you always for uploading the winning 49ers game Maurence Shipley!
