Have you ever cried after a loss?

[Rockytoptalker]

I never have cried, but after the loss to UK in 2011 I broke the remote. I tried to hit the couch when I threw it but it went a touch too high and hit the wall.

 

[DERELICK_MY_VOLS]

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.

Never cried after a loss either. Growing up in Neyland Stadium year after year then through college....never. Moved to California and would watch games on t.v......BOOM! Choked up every time the Vols run through the T. Back in Knoxville now...still happens to this day. I compare it to seeing a loved one for the first time in several years...except it is every weekend during football season!

Yeah, I can relate. Having moved away, every time I'm in Neyland Stadium again the hair on the back of my neck stands up. That first run through the T is an amazing moment.

That's the closest I've ever come too. I didn't actually cry, but I did just sit in the kitchen staring at the wall in silence for like 25 minutes straight. My mom was cooking something and trying to talk to me and I wouldn't respond. Eventually she just walked away and let me be.

Lots of games have made me mad in the past. I mean, even some wins have made me mad. But that was one of the only games that made me that sad.

Oh and 2009 Alabama. :sad:

Your avi is awesome. :good!:

I didn't cry for that one,but I put my foot through a box fan.

I'll just agree and say a little bit of dust gets in my eye at this moment and occasionally when I hear a great Rocky Top.

But after a loss...no. I've never cried about losing a football game or losing in any sport, whether playing or watching a team I support. No.

 

[Orange Daddy]

NO! I actually understand there's life beyond football.
Didn't cry when a beloved girlfriend broke up with me
Directed her to a hotel when she showed up a year later saying she needed a
place to stay and QUOTE]

And what did you do and say????

 

[Ten_Titans]

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.

Sign of a psycopath? Thinking life events are games.

True statement.

 

[ATC_VOL]

Sometimes when I was a kid. The 2001 SECCG comes to mind.

 

[YankeeVol]

Cried? No

Throw stuff? Yes

 

[CountVolcula]

There are a lot who cry

You can tell by the threads they start

 

[Spartacavolus]

no, but I'm liable to shed a tear at any moment about anything. Did Saturday while with my son as I watched him as the team ran through the T, and did again when they played the Inky piece.
Then again at 3 am while puking from all the junk we ate all day.

 

[Preds&Vols]

Almost. Dooley's 13 player loss to LSU.

I broke a recliner after that one. Wanted to cry when I thought about coming up with the cash to replace a $700 buck chair.

 

[snake_anthony]

Being a Vol fan for over 40 years I can honestly say a loss has never brought me to tears. Has a TN loss ever brought you to tears like it did this GA fan? Georgia fan cries on the radio after loss to Clemson | For The Win

No, but I almost got arrested after the Music City Bowl. That pissed me off.

 

[VolDave53]

I have a simple philosophy regarding sports: Never allow a bunch of 18-21 year old people, 99% of whom I do not even know, dictate how I feel about life.

I do allow the results of their efforts when positive, to make me feel good, but never in a bad way. Negative, tearful emotions are reserved for church, family and country. Positive emotions may be found everywhere in life. Tears of joy occur, but never over negative events. When I was 23 years of age, I had lost so many friends in the Marine Corps that I realized that it was time to put things in a more categorized perspective.

This is just the way I look at things, and it has worked well.

 

[tumscalcium]

In my childhood days as a fan, but never as an adult.

When are you going to be an adult?

 

[Advol]

Yes I cried for the Program after setting through the debacle against LSU in Hotlanta's Concrete Dome!
I knew then, it was the beginning of the end!! :cray:

Had a similar meltdown after the LSU 13 players on the field game.

 

[salutethehill]

The football team has never made me cry...but that band has come close.

 

[The Orange Pants]

Crying is acceptable at funerals and the Grand Canyon.
