I’m man enough to say it…

[WillisWG]

Butch or Pruitt would have gone to over time. Heupel is the man.

B & P wouldn't EVER gotten us in a position to win

 

[VaBornVol]

I’ve had BVS all year. I had strong doubts about this game. Until Thursday…

On Thursday my 8 year had a bad day at school and his teacher told my wife after she talked to him he said “Roll Tide!” The teacher asked him if he was an Alabama fan and he said “No, that’s just what people say after they do something dumb.”

I don’t know that I’ve ever been more proud as a parent

 

[Flipdaddy]

I’m crying.

Ain’t nothing wrong with it. We’ve been through some beeullllll shite over the last 20 years . Even the refs couldn’t stop us!!

 

[joevol33]

I've said this as a joke, but I literally almost peed myself

 

[ibvolman]

Not gonna lie. I teared up a little

 

[VolJarhead]

I thought we were going to lose until the kick went through the uprights. Even then I wasn't sure it made it. I didn't realize how strong our offense was until tonight. I'm so glad I was wrong. Sometimes its good to be wrong.

 

[VolFan4Life87]

I’m crying.

Like a baby here.

 

[Jack5151]

Me too.

 

[Kylo]

likewise. My dad died last year. He would have been flipping out.

My dad died on 2019. This would be a win we talked about for days, weeks, years...

 

[VolInNorthCack]

I have no more tears. I'm dry

 

[Fightmaker]

Lost my dad 5 years ago. Used to listen to John Ward with him when I was little. My first thought after the win was how I wish he was alive to see it. GBO!!!

I will always remember my dad beaming with excitement while listening to the 82 game on the radio. I was too little to realize the gravity of the situation, but I knew it was a cool moment with my dad. I appreciate your sentiment.

 

[Kylo]

Butch or Pruitt would have LOST BY 30. Heupel is the man.

Fixed it for you

 

[scrodz]

Gratz! Hopefully, this'll get the rivalry back where it should be. You guys just wouldn't give up!

 

[teeball]

No crying here ... BUT ... I did go outside and wave my UT flag and scream my bloody head off !!! GBO !!!

 

[Delmar]

I’m crying.

We had several people at our watch party who were as well.

 

[UTwild82]

likewise. My dad died last year. He would have been flipping out.

Sorry for your loss. Here's a toast to your father. I hope he, Johnny, the General, and all the Vols in Heaven are smoking some victory cigars and celebrating this win with us.

 

[Volumnus 2011]

I cried too. What a win

 

[paperbagvol]

likewise. My dad died last year. He would have been flipping out.

Same here . My Dad is jumping up and down in Heaven right now. I Live on the Alabama border and work there. We are on a long outage and the game was playing on computers thruout the the mill.. I left work at Bama in the lead and when we kicked the winning field goal I pulled off the shoulder of the highway still in Alabama and screamed F___k Alabama. Im going back at 5 am in the morning in a bright Orange TN shirt for the morning meeting. Some wont show for work. LOL

 

[615to865]

I have no shame in admitting I cried too after win, work has been so stressful lately, this provided the joy I had been needing. I live in the Dallas and my family and went out to eat after the game and I had my Vols jersey on and complete strangers were congratulating me. What a great night! Go Vols!!

 

[wmcovol]

Butch or Pruitt would have gone to over time. Heupel is the man.

Majors, Fulmer, Kiffin, Dooley and every other coach in the SEC would have gone to OT. Imagine the hell CJH would catch if Bama got a sack strip or INT? CJH doesn’t care.

 

[VolStrom]

I took my dog for a walk today and noticed that a neighbor had stuck a mullet flag on the front of their house. I hope like hell I see one of them out so I can say "Go Vols!"

 

[Russdaddy2027]

Yep grandpa passed last year. He wanted to see us beat them one more time… i’m pretty sure he put in a good word for the boys in orange when he got home.

 

[YankeeVol]

I think my wife got it on video

 

[AthensVol2007]

My wife told me to light my cigar in the stadium and I couldn’t because I was sobbing with joy.

 

[OrangeTsar]

Yeah mine died two yrs. ago; my Mom buried him in an orange blazer. I wish he could have seen that one.

Bet he did. And is now enjoying a good cigar and brandy with Johnny Majors
