Have you ever cried after a loss?

That Gaffney game was the one where I realized that it was just a game. I was just out of college and almost swung at my Dad, who is the epitome of an obnoxious Gator fan (he's the guy who always loved Spurrier because he ticked off the TN fans).

Realized that I loved my father a whole lot more than football, and that there were more important things in life. Redecorated the room, took down framed autograph pictures and just lived through my own success and failures, not those of a game (though I'm not critical of those who do).

The last 3 years were spent in more of a state of bewildered amusement and shaking of the head with annoyed chuckles.

Never full on cried after a loss, but I had to fight it back in 08 when we beat Kentucky and they were carrying Phil off the field. I don't care what any of you say, he deserved better.

Never came close to crying over a loss, although I've broken a LOT of stuff from being mad afterward. I did get tears in my eyes at the end of the '98 NC game. I knew that few fans would ever get the opportunity to watch their team accomplish what ours had that night. I remember my wife looking at me funny as I kind of wiped my eyes, and looking at her I simply said "you'll never understand".

Never cried after a loss as a fan watching a game. As a player, that's a different story.

Had a few tears after UCLA came back from 16 down with a 7 minutes to go and they came back and tied us in 85, most of the time now just drop head and hope you live till next year.:cray:

Nope, never cried. I've been known to punch a hole in the wall a time or two though.

To old now to punch but back in the 80s and 90s there were more than one hole that had to be repaired after football season, i always waited till after the season so i could fix them all at once.:banghead2::

That game and the one where we ran out 30-14 on UF and they came back to blow us out made me physically ill.

1995. Rained at halftime and Tennessee caught fumbilitis and it was over at that point. 62 unanswered points by UF. Ugh. :no:

Never cried after a loss. Ever. I did have a destructive thought or two after the 1996 Tennessee / Florida game @ Knoxville. That was to be our "year" to win it all. Expectations were sky high and deflated in one half of football as Spurrier and the gators had CPF completely baffled and jumped out to a 35-6 lead at halftime. :blink:

As it was posted previously in this thread, it's a game and it's short lived. Take the good with the bad.

I've never cried, but there have been a few games that were extremely disturbing to me.

5) 01' UGA when Stephens took the screen pass to the house and we followed it up with the effing squib kick. Oh that effing squib kick!!!!!! UGA won.

4) 08' UF....we couldn't hand the ball off, literally. The emotion swing was odd, from furious to somewhat sad. Sad because I literally knew at that moment Fulmer was probably done. The boos were nearly, if not equal to those of the Gaffney catch. The decibel level from boos was literally deafining.

3) the Gaffney catch. I'm not sure I've even gotta say much more. Loudest boos I've ever heard.

2) 10' LSU the emotional swing was enough to bring a grown man to his knees. From "we won" to....well you know the rest.

1b) 09' Bama...holly hell that was gutwrenching. Nuff said

1a) I can't remember the year, I just remember Bama blocking a FG and it flew all the way to the other end, leaving them in FG range. The other games were due to bad ref calls or bad coaching calls. But this was the most dispicable thing I think I've ever seen. If you tried this 1,000 times it wouldn't happen because it's literally impossible! Yet it happened for Bama. Blocked kick flies all the way down field. They recover it, kick the FG. I was a kid, didn't cry but came close.

Which one? I assume '01 and not as much '07.


I was at the LSU game in 2010 and I could do nothing but facepalm and cuss Dooley. LSU fans were super nice and very pissed at Les for it being that close. Neither set of fans leaving that game were very happy with their coach.

I videoed the two "last plays"....Vols winning and Tigers winning and fans reactions. Both are on YouTube. Quickest I have gone from elated to....well, not elated at a game. UGA's hobnail boot game is a close second.

Like most, I have almost become numb to losses now. It's sad.

Cried after '68 'Archie Who' game but I was 14 so I'll cut myself some slack. Maddest was '90 Bama and '06 Georgia.

I cry after every loss, but never longer than 15 minutes so it's okay.
