The movie was very accurate. People were so stunned they just got up from the diner and walked out. No one realized they had paid. They all came back the next day and paid. Bobby Bowden was at WVU and he said “Anything you want”.

I met “Red” on several occasions and didn’t realize WHO he was. Very unassuming man.
