1982 Iron Bowl. The win announced both the end of the Bear Bryant era and the beginning of AU running the state for the 80s.
Remind us all again, how many natties did Pat Dye win for you guys?

There is no need to be upset about Pat Dye standing up to big bad Bama and changing the football culture of the state forever in the process.
If anything, that rivalry was well on its way to becoming something like Texas/Texas A&M. Bama had won 19 of the past 23 contests at that time and led the overall series by 15 games. Instead of that, it's the greatest rivalry in American sports.
Consider yourself lucky and thank Pat Dye for what he did.
