What It Was, Was Football is a monologue by actor-comedian Andy Griffith. The monologue is a description of a college football game, as seen by a naive country preacher who attends the game by accident and is entirely puzzled by it. At Griffith's request, Milton Alderfer (who was only 19 at the time), recorded and produced the original master tape in Greensboro, North Carolina. The master was then sent to Chapel Hill, North Carolina and mass-produced by the Colonial Records label in late 1953.

He felt he was always working in service of an audience he really respected and cared about. Please see the documentation for {{columns-list}}.

But anyhow what I was a-tellin was that both bunches-full wanted that thang and one bunch got it an it made the other bunch just as mad as they could be and friends I seen that evenin the awfullest fight that Id ever seen in my life!

Griffith's descriptions of such a common sight as a football field from the point of view of someone completely baffled by it are endlessly charming: .and somebody had took and drowed white lines all over it and drove posties in it and I don't know what all.

But his fame was never as great as it was in the 1960s, when he starred for eight years as Andy Taylor, the sagacious sheriff of the make-believe town of Mayberry, .
