I went to the UT game in Knoxville that season. Got spit on for wearing Alabama gear. Was a fairly boring game by offensive standards, but our defense was a nightmare

I remember when we put all 11 defenders on the line. What a brutal defensive performance.

Straight from the horses mouth.
Tommy Tuberville was the DC for Miami that year. The night before the game he and Bill Oliver had a drink at an obscure bar. When Oliver got up to leave, TT said good luck tomorrow coach..and Oliver replied, "we don't need luck Tommy, we're going to kick ya'lls arse.
Tuberville told a group of coaches that story when he was at Auburn.

We can thank Coach Bill (Brother) Oliver for that win. His defensive scheme was genius (and daring! )
About a wk after the game Bham news did an interview with Coach Oliver. Oliver gave a lot of credit to Coach DuBose, Oliver sent DuBose to Wyoming to scout their offense. Wyoming was running the same offense as Miami at the time.
Oliver said DuBose really did a fantastic job breaking down film and had a lot of input in the defensive scheme for Miami

I was a walk-on under DuBose for four years. He was a good football coach, as a DL coach.
I hate how things turned out for DuBose. He has more love for the University of Alabama in his pinky finger than all the Saban era mercenaries will ever have.

I thought Tubbs was a DB coach for Miami at the time.
It was always said DuBose was an excellent DL coach. Tough and Hardcore as they come. You’re right… He wasn’t cutout to be the HC, but nobody could question his loyalty to Bama. One of Bryant’s Boys

Mike DuBose/Jeremy Pruitt may not have cut it as HC's. But no question, they were great defensive coaches at the Capstone. Bringing Championships along the way.
In 1982 Dubose was the DL coach at Southern Miss. They ended Alabama's home Tuscaloosa 57 game winning streak that season.
The next season he would be the DL coach for Perkins at Alabama.
He retired from coaching this past season.
Going 17-6 at his alma mater OPP High School.

One of my fraternity brothers was a walk on under DuBose. He lived in a trailer park across the river off Rice Mine Road and invited me to a cookout one summer. Several scholarship players were there and were drinking beer outside. One of the players asked another, “What would you do right now if DuBose drove up and saw you with that beer?” The player responded, “he wouldn’t see me, he would only see the bottom of my feet going under those trailers headed in that direction.” They were scared of him.
They also said the offensive line would spread out on the sideline and try to hide if the offense went 3-and-out because DuBose would hunt them down and get in their faces.

I was a freshman in 1997 when DuBose was only two years removed from being the DL coach, so the juniors and seniors all knew how he was as a position coach.
I heard a story one time that a defensive lineman got mad and kinda bowed up at him a bit. It’s not uncommon for tempers to flare with 150 alpha males (players AND coaches) running around. DuBose looked at him and said, “Son, you’d rather walk through Hell covered in gasoline than fight me.”
They laughed it off and five seconds later it was like nothing happened.

I watched it with my dad on a tiny TV with rabbit ears at our hunting club in Monroe County.
It’s one of my most fond memories.

Great stories in this thread. Anybody got any more?
That was the 1st Bama game I remember watching live. I was 11.

I watched it on my grandpa lap as a 6 year old. It is the first sporting event I really remember at all.

One of my best friends from HS was a huge Miami fan (his dad was frat brothers with Oakland Raider great Jim Otto at the U). At the time, he was in Dallas going through training with American Airlines after getting out of the Air Force. I got the number to his hotel from his wife. I would call him after every Bama score and big play. By the end of the third quarter he wasn't answering the phone.

I'm pretty sure, they flew him to Tuscaloosa to be the grand marshall of the victory parade they had when they got home.

Same for me. I was in 5th grade, and I got to go with my dad and my aunt and uncle. One of the best memories I have

My dad and I went to the game. I was 14 years old.
My dad was a high school football coach, and the guy who ran the radio station that broadcasted his team’s games gave him two tickets. He woke me up the morning before the game to tell me we were going. I didn’t believe him until he showed me the tickets. The next day we loaded up with junk food and drove to New Orleans. Spent most of the afternoon on Bourbon Street and ran into some people we knew. It was a crazy atmosphere.
What the outcome boiled down to, IMO, is Alabama was just the hungrier, better prepared team. None of those guys had a ring at the time and almost all the players and coaches were from Alabama or were former Alabama players - and winning FOR Alabama meant something to them.
Alabama was highly focused and brought its A+ game (at least on defense, coaching, and the running game). Miami was maybe not quite as good as the year before and just didn’t have the intensity. Very similar game to the 2009 SECCG except except the QB play was much better.

I know this is foreign to younger Bama fans, but that season was so sweet after years of being just pretty good.
Miami was so fricking hyped-up and we were just also-rans from a tired, hanging on to the old-days, fan base.
I was at the first SEC Championship Game right before that game (in B'ham). After Shane Matthews threw that Pick6, the entire stadium erupted in "Shaaaaa-aaaanne".
That was dwarfed in the Nat'l Championship game when everyone was chanting "GEEEEEE NOOOOO".
Easily one of my favorite seasons.
