Did you Hold Your Breath Before Kick?

[posivol]

success finally,first big W down w/ many more to come

 

[terrypedigo]

I didnt watch just listened I was a nervous wreck!

Im 51 years old and this never gets old, just as damn nervous today as the first game I ever saw, and this one means a lot to the team and fans and RECRUITING.:dance2:

 

[terrypedigo]

I was shaking after it went through.

Like a big bowl win its been that long, but not no more the BUTCHER is here to stay and stir the ship along the way, just feels good to be a VOL.:lolabove:

 

[volschamp]

It's a good thing i did not have my new blood pressure monitor on my wrist. It would have blew my arm off. GO BIG ORANGE, HELL YES:rock2::machgun::td:

 

[Big Ugly Vol]

Great redemption for Palardy. I couldn't look.

 

[This Guy]

Of course I did. But only because I still remember the Michael Palardy that couldn't kick a hole through a wet paper-towel.

 

[USCGVOL!!]

Holding breath. Silently... come on son, you got this. Then... YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dog barkin at me like I was crazy. Great day to be a VOL!!!!!

 

[BubbaDoc]

I held my breath for the entire 4th quarter. I looked like a smurf by the time he kicked it.

 

[TNnative]

How about when they showed Butch when the kick went through. Looked like he was gonna cry. He truly loves Tennessee and these kids you can tell.

None of us outside of the program's inner circle can truly know and understand how much work has gone into turning this team around. Most of us would crumble if we were to put in the hours of work Butch Jones has this year. And finally, he managed to lead the Vols to turn all that work into a victory against a highly ranked team.

Does he love his players? You bet. Does he love Tennessee? Oh yeah, and I am sure he felt Vols fans fall in love with him at that very moment. Was he gonna cry? I wouldn't deny him the right to shed tears of joy, but I would prefer to see it as some of his greatness just leaking out a little bit.

 

[Backwards K]

Somebody has to say it: PALARDY LIKE A ROCK STAR!!

 

[Aesius]

I didn't see the ball at first. I honestly thought it got blocked for about a second.

Wasn't until I saw Palardy take off running that I knew he made it.

 

[governmentmule]

I drank my Beer and said GO VOLs.............

:toast: i did the same thing

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

Did not watch. Listened carefully.

 

[Aday25]

Butch's face after the kick went through said it all...

The hard work is starting to pay off.

 

[Backwards K]

I didn't see the ball at first. I honestly thought it got blocked for about a second.

Wasn't until I saw Palardy take off running that I knew he made it.

Always watch the crowd. As John Ward always said, "the crowd tells you."

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

Honestly, I never saw it go through.
Just listened for the crowd.

 

[qb19]

No joke i was thinking to myself if Dooley were the coach his black cloud would have caused time to expire.

This X 10

 

[WoodstockVol]

I knew that Palardy would hit the fg. I told My friend that we've got this in the bag

 

[Nerd-Vol]

I could barely stand. Much less watch!

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

I held my dog's breath. She was very happy we converted. - jk

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

What ever the announcers were saying about 3 seconds had me in panic mode.

 

[footballdad51413]

I had faith he would make it but I secretly turned my label out for insurance😜😜😜

 

[PMC2726]

I saw him kicking the game winner in my head right after his missed the fg earlier in the game. It was his destiny. Kid worked hard and has been through a lot to get to today. Good for him.

 

[qwik_kick]

held breath , crossed fingers, rubbed stuffed smokey and singin rocky top in my mind with eyes closed...hey its only stupid if it doesn't work right?????
GBO!!!

 

[mitzustu]

I couldn't see the ball either. That's because ESPN hates us.

I was reverse jinxing the crap out of that kick.
"I'm sure he's going to push it."

Haha had to prepare myself.
