For the first game in a very long time, I did what I said I would do every game this season, try to sit down and enjoy every moment of what we hope is a great season. I got mildly upset only a couple of times (if you know me, that's not close to my nature when watching the Vols play). I celebrated hard when Malone scored. For the most part I remained calm. It makes games like this much easier to deal with afterwards. I hope to try to do this every game, although it may be harder against our rivals.
I hope this is exactly what this team needed to make them realize you have to take every single game serious, no matter the opponent or you could lose. We know that we are much better than this. Time to put our heads down and start grinding, and stop listening to the media, fans, etc, no matter if the hype builds again after a few wins, or if we get trashed for this game and how flat we played.
