This Matchup Figures to Be Better Than Bills-Redskins

Jeffrey Miller and Angela Grogan were married at a bar in Greensboro, N.C., during halftime of the Super Bowl.

The ceremony was held between halves of Sunday’s game in the bar where they met during last year’s Super Bowl.

TV sets and customers at Greensboro’s Loggerhead Brew Pub and Restaurant were silent as Miller, 30, and Grogan, 25, stood side by side in matching rugby shirts and jeans as they took their vows.

The father of the bride arrived at the two-minute warning, having rushed back to High Point to get a set of pearls that had been in family weddings for generations.

Miller said the idea of getting married at Loggerhead became more attractive after he lost his job.

“We knew we couldn’t afford a big wedding so we decided to go small,” he said. “It’ll be something we can tell our children about.”

There will be no honeymoon. Miller had a job interview Monday, and his bride returned to work as a fast-food restaurant manager.

Warning letter: USC basketball Coach George Raveling received a letter with a postmark from Tucson.

It read, “George, take my advice (and) don’t show up Wednesday (when USC plays at No. 2 UCLA).” Said Raveling, “I don’t know if we should show up or not.”

Cost of living raise: Sergei Bubka, the world’s only 20-foot pole vaulter, reportedly made $385 from the government-run Soviet track federation in the old Communist regime.

With the breakup of the Soviet Union, Bubka has a contract with Nike that pays him $10,000 if he sets a world record in an indoor meet or $20,000 for an outdoor record.

No burnout for Levy: Marv Levy, not known as a quipster, snapped off a decent line when he asked how, after 11 years as an NFL head coach, he feels about those coaches who complain about burnout in the profession.

“Every time I see one of these coaches that say they’re facing burnout, they’re going to quit . . . the only ones I see facing burnout are financially secure.”

Super tow: Barry Berkovitz would have liked to spend Super Bowl Sunday inside the Metrodome watching the Washington Redskins battle the Buffalo Bills. Instead, he spent much of it in his tow truck two blocks away.

“It would have been nice to be in the Dome, sipping on a beer watching the game,” Berkovitz said. “But this is OK.”

Berkovitz and three other mechanics were there to rescue any motorists who locked themselves out of their cars, ran out of gas or needed a jump start after the Super Bowl.

“We did this during the (Minnesota) Vikings’ season and got to watch the games in the Dome,” he said. “They burned us on the Super Bowl and they didn’t tell us till the day before. We thought there may be a very, very slight possibility we’d get in.”

Another driver, Jim Mullen, was thrilled to be so close to the Super Bowl. “At least we’re closer to the action than a lot of people will ever get. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

Answer: Compton High won 66 consecutive games from 1967-69.
