The year was 1984. "Who's The Boss" debuted on ABC. Prince's "Purple Rain" is released, and Carl Lewis wins four gold medals in track and & field at the Summer Olympics.
And Kentucky's football team beat Tennessee's football team.
Since then, Tony Danza stopped cleaning houses in Connecticut, Prince changed his name to a symbol and then back to Prince, and Carl Lewis had a memorbale turn singing the National Anthem before an NBA game.

I was there... on February 7th, 2006.
Bruce Pearl's Vols were on their way to a 22-8 record, and a first place finish in the SEC's Eastern Division, something that has become a common occurrence now.
But back then, Tennessee fans were still in a state of bliss. A team which had spent four mediocre years under Buzz Peterson, was suddenly in the national rankings.

Thousands of Kentucky fans desended on Knoxville, expecting their 44th SEC championship.
They made the drive back up I-75 in a foul mood.
On Saturday the Tennessee Volunteers proved that while they might not be one of the top 5 teams in the nation, they certainly are one of the top 5 teams when it comes to entertainment value, and the ability to live up to the occasion.
