October 16, 1982: Bear Bryant brings undefeated, #2 Bama to Neyland Stadium to face a Tennessee team that would finish 6-5-1. Three hours later, Johnny Majors would be carried off the field following a 35-28 VOLS Victory. The Bear was never the same, retired at the end of the season, then died and went to Hell 6 months later.

I remember it well. Bama was coming off a huge 21 pointwin against #3 (and eventual national champion) Penn State, then shite the bed against UT. The season fell apart after that.
