I was a loudmouth freshman who, after learning that UT hadn't beaten Alabama in 11 years, guaranteed a win. I remember the last sequence most of all. After the 3rd down pass (the one Terry intercepted) the crowd started screaming "we beat Bama! We beat Bama!" Being in section GG I didn't see the interception. I was screaming "They still have 4th down !!!" I looked up at the scoreboard just soon enough to see the little football go from the Alabama side to the Tennessee side. I screamed "We intercepted it !! Oh My God !!!" I did not tear the goalposts at that game, but I did after the UT win over Bo Jackson and Auburn in 1985. In fact, in that game, I was actually in the end zone on the final play. That was cool, too. This game was my Freshman year at UT.

It was my FIRST time to ever SEE a Vols game and be at Neyland Stadium. The day was perfect fall weather and we really had no idea that Tennessee would even be in this game, let alone WIN! I'll never forget seeing the fans rush the field and tear down the goal posts! Needless to say, I was hooked. It was a day I will NEVER forget!
