December 2, 1989. Auburn has played many big games over the course of its 100+ years in existence, but none have been more important than the contest that took place on that cool December day.
Alabama said it would never happen. Pat Dye was determined that it would. It did. The stakes could not have been higher. Alabama was ranked second nationally and playing for a shot at the national championship. An Auburn win meant a share of the SEC Championship; it’s fourth of the decade.
I remember it like it was yesterday. I was a junior at Auburn and doing a live radio broadcast for WEGL on top of an RV.
