Have you ever cried after a loss?

Cried? No.


Kicked a bucket of light bulbs? Yes. I'm the reason that "That Lighting Store Without A Name" went out of business.

Cried, NO. I have thrown a remote into a TV (UT vs lsu 2010) and punched a hole in a wall (UT vs unc 2010).

NO! I actually understand there's life beyond football.
Didn't cry when a beloved girlfriend broke up with me either.
Just helped her pack, hugged her, and waved good-bye as she drove off.
Directed her to a hotel when she showed up a year later saying she needed a
place to stay and think she'd made a mistake in leaving me. All games are games
to me. You enjoy them while they last, if disappointed, life goes on so keep going.
Cry over a football game? Geez, what a pushy.

That radio station is funny. It's mostly Falcons/country wide sports talk, but when they talk about the puppies, it's hilarious. Everything is basically "Richt can't win us no dern championships, we gotta farrrrrrrr him".

That crying call is epic though. The hilarious part was I think that was the 2-6 am guys (could have been the 10-2 guys) so he was probably sitting up at 5:30 crying in his mom's basement.

1999 Arkansas loss...I may have teared up a little after I kicked some furniture in my dorm room. Pretty sure I was limping for a day or two.

Over a loss no... but I do get a little choked up every year when the team first runs threw the T... can't explain it, but every year... In that one moment all is right with the world, and I feel like a kid again.

When I was a kid, yes, I cried. I can specifically remember an Arkansas game, year unknown, where I just couldn't understand how Tennessee could lose. I was probably 8 or so.

Once I grew up, I just started getting angry. But all that peaked when we lost to Alabama during Kiffin's year. Since then, it's been more sighing and facepalming.

I will say, though, that losing to Kentucky in 2011 was probably the most disgusted I've ever been after a football game. I wear orange proudly, at least once a week, and I always have on at least 1 orange article of clothing, but it took me a few months to recover from the embarrassment of losing to that Kentucky team.

Cried? No. I have kicked and throwed stuff after that loss to LSU a couple years ago. Worst day of my life.

Nah but I've been so pissed I couldn't see straight. Been mad enough to fight a brick wall for sure.

Now the last few years have numbed me to point that it scares me about our football program.

It actually has me scared to put too much faith in CBJ. But damn, isn't it exciting.

No. But it always ruins my weekend. The wife doesn't understand it but I don't expect her to.

My wife doesn't understand the how happy I am now that I can pick up most Vols games on XM radio, so she definitely doesn't understand how a UT loss can foul up my weekend.

The most I ever let a game affect me was Florida 2011. Hunter tearing his ACL made me feel like there had been a death in the family. I was pretty depressed for about a week after that game, both for the team and for him.

The rest of Dooley's tenure was met with disgust or even amusement on occasion (Arkansas, Mizzou, Vandy). Now I'm afraid I'm going to start taking it far more seriously with CBJ at the helm.

The "Jabar Gaffney no catch" ...google it kids. I was there and it was the first game I ever got to go to with my dad. Loudest I've ever heard Neyland. I had to fight back tears leaving... I was in my early 20s. Never shed one but that was the most painful loss I've ever felt from my Vols. Worst freakin call ever. Still pisses me off to this day. Smh
