What are they? Probably been a dozen threads about this, but who cares, it's the offseason. I bet at least one or two of you have worn a Tide jersey.:yuck:

I've lost a lot of money betting on Tennessee football, but I've won a lot betting on other games.

Being a VFL clouds my judgement.

I went to Vegas before heading to Phoenix for the NC game. I had $40 on me and put it on UT (+5.5 I think) and there was an FSU couple behind me on their way down as well...obviously placing a wager on the Noles.

I remember getting back to Charleston and mailing the ticket to the casino to collect my $76.

I wagered a pal straight up on Tennessee-Florida in the Swamp in 2001. We were 18 point dogs. I would have lost $20 but instead I won $200.

Not exactly crazy, but satisfying.

Dated an Arkansas girl once upon a lifetime ago; loved her very much.

Bet was coon-skin cap or hog-hat and nothing else.

Problem was is was 1992; so I ended up, on one of the best nights of my life, yelling like a pig with a hog-hat on.

I'm not sure if I'm bragging or complaining; I just know I'm in a world of hurt if my wife reads this. I met her a few months later.

And yes, for all you old-timers, yelling like a pig is very different than squealing like a pig.

Everybody knows once you get married you stop squealing like a pig.

I bet the farm that Lane Kiffin would take us to the Super Bowl.

Now living in a van down by the river.

First let me say I hate David Palmer. I had to wear an alabama cap for a year. I don't welsh on my bets but that one was hard to pay off.

A year?? No way I could do that.........

Maybe a day or week at the most.

I put 300 on us vs vandy Tauren pooles senior year. We were -13 and with under 2 or 3 minutes left in the game we were running out the clock with the ground game and he hit a 40 yard touchdown to put us up 14. You would've thought we had j won the national championship

I bet $200 on the vols in 2011 against ky against the spread. I can't remember the exact spread but I think it was around -7. Awful game to watch...just awful. I heard that ky only ran 6 different plays from scrimmage that game.

I had to put on a Gator hat and jersey and sing their stupid song in front of formation while I was in the Marines. My CO was a UF alum. If we'd have beaten them, he had to put on my UT ballcap and jersey and sing Rocky Top.

Yes, I felt like a traitor. Couldn't wait to get that crap off.

I had to crawl the length of my high school football field after we lost to Notre Dame when Andy Kelly almost brought us back before throwing a pick late in the 4th.

Wagered my soul against a fiddle of Gold once. Had nothing to do with UT sports but some dude did write a song about it.
