Wasn't that when the Vols and CommodeDores almost got into a brawl before the game started? I think it took place while both teams were warming up.
The Tennessee and Vanderbilt teams went at it in Bill Battle's last game at UT a week later in Nashville. Tennessee won that game 13-10 and lost this one 7-0.
The next season was probably Kentucky's best team in most of our lifetimes. I think they went 10-1. Didn't play in a bowl because NCAA busted them for cheating (probation). Their quarterback went on to play tight end for the Raiders.

Ugh. I was sitting in the student section for that one. Awful then. Awful now. I didn't realize then how ineffective and boring Battles "Tennessee T" wishbone experiment was. Mostly it just got Stanley Morgan all beat up.
The 76' UK game was memorble for me b/c I was sitting in section OO with my Dad. I was 7 years old and there was an elderly UK fan sitting next to us who was sharing his bag of peanuts with me.
Now that's a nice memory...Seems everyone ran some form or another of the wishbone in those days...I always loved that offense but some teams just were not mean't to run it...UT was one of them...Gahhh!!
Randy Wallace was a drop back passer. If that idiot Bill Battle wanted seriously to run the wishbone he should have made freshman Jimmy Streater the quarterback. JS would have been an awesome wishbone quarterback.
Bill Battle's last home game at Tennessee 1976
Geez Louise - what a horrible reminder. I was at that game. Had 4 UT student tix that I sold for $100. Thought I was a friggin millionaire. Then jumped the fence in the endzone to sneak in the game.
Believe the moving company showed up at his house on Sunday afternoon, correct??
If it's the game I'm thinking of Tennessee was running off of the field after warm ups. Could be wrong though.
Dale arte instigated it. He led the UT players right through Vandy players who were in their pre game warmups. All hell broke loose in the North endzone.
I'll see what I have on that game and load it up sometime/
