What Was Life Like the Last Time Alabama Women’s Basketball Defeated Tennessee?

The Alabama women's basketball team won a thrilling match-up with the Tennessee Volunteers Thursday night by a score of 54-46, the first victory for the Crimson Tide over the Vols at home in program history and their first win in 42 games (since 1984).

1984 was quite a while ago (not to make you feel old or anything): more specifically, it was 32 years ago. It was five years before I was born. Alabama football only had 11 national championships. In other words, it was a simpler time, but different nonetheless. So what all was going on in 1984, the last time the Alabama's women's basketball team defeated Tennessee?
