Yeah, they were not good that year. They actually won the SEC two years later in the year Tech beat them again. Oh, and looking it up, Arians was fired after the 1997 season. He landed a job with the Colts and has been in the NFL ever since.
If you enjoy reliving Tech vs SEC memories this is a real great collection... http://www.latechreport.com/2014/08/...h-sec-network/
Tech77 post on memories was great. After moving back to Ruston in 1998 an, renewing friendship with Flo Miskelly, Flo said she found a letter from Coach
Bryant to Coach Aillet sending him a check for $30,000 in lieu of $10,000 originally agreed on. As I recall, Bama did not make a 1st down in the 1st quarter.
