This was brought up in a recent reply to a post so I'm going to ask this question here in a new thread:

What is the most expensive thing you have broken or damaged over a Tennessee football game. What game and why?

This could get pretty funny.

Me personally:

I broke out a window in my house after the so called catch against Florida in Neyland when AJ Suggs was QB'ing for UT. I can't remember the exact year but we all know what I'm talking about. The remote that broke the window is still working to this day.

I threw the phone down on the hardwood floor busting it into pieces when some friends called to give me hell during the second half onslaught the gators gave us in the '95 game in the swamp.

OK let me set this up just a little first....Was on a football board and had $250 locked up until Tennessee scores with 1:02(I think that is what it was) left on the clock,get to thinking "OK That is fine,I will gladly give up hitting on the board for a win,,,,and then we kick off to those:furious3: Bulldawgs only to have them drive down the field with 50 something seconds left and score...remote went through the wall and I tore my favorite hat to shreds:BANGHEAD2: .....

Then I remember the LSU game where we came back and tied it late only to lose it in overtime....had just gotten my son to sleep when we scored to tie it and the wife had to grab the kid from my arms so tthat I didn't wake him....only to wake him up minutes later while I cursed the TV:realmad: lol....Wife made me pay the price for that one:vava: lol

The Florida non-catch was in 2000- I know because it was almost my most expensive game in so many ways.

I was in Ireland watching via a big honking computer VERY late thanks to a guy who owned a cybernet cafe who I met as part of a group in a pub, and who, being as buzzed as I was, took pity.

Let's just say that in the first few seconds afterward, I was freaked because I just realized that, while I'd only squeezed the peach instead of throwing it, there was now goop on the chair, table, and floor.

In the next few seconds, thanks to first the guy & then his wife coming in in their nightclothes to ask what the hell was going on, and then the neighbor banging on the wall, and then one of my host's children coming down, I realized that in addition to 'squeezing the peach' (ahem) I'd screamed some sort of primal bellow at the top of my lungs.

Despite all apologies and my best smartass efforts, I failed to get anybody to see the humor, and fairly rapidly found myself on the street.

Does causing an international incident count, or do I just have to go with the peach?

Last year during the Alabama game I threw the VCR remote so hard against the coffee table that it exploded into a thousand pieces and the table now has a permanent dent. My wifes' friends know it as the football dent.

During the first half of the LSU game last year (I'm ashamed of this one) I threw a full pint glass of beer against the thick wood paneled wall in our tv room. Talk about an explosion of glass and beer. My wife was so mad she made me turn off the tv until I cleaned it up. I know it sounds like she rules the roost but she was scary mad. I had no choice.

LOL. This is a great thread.

I am ill tempered when it comes to UT. I break something at least twice a year. I have bloodied my knuckles 20 or 30 times. If the game is close at the end i cant watch. I usually go outside and pray. (as if god cares about football).


I didnt watch the last 3 minutes of the Air Force game and i was there.lol.

Nothing on earth gets me heated like UT football. But by god i love it. :rock: :rock:

WOW. Anger management class here we come?

I broke NUMEROUS things after one loss in particular. It was the 2001 Georgia game when Richt was a new coach. Travis Stephens scored on a long pickup after a screen pass to give us the lead. I ran around outside screaming and came back in jumping off the furniture inside. That moment of elation was quickly thrown against the rocks as Georgia drove back down and scored to beat us with a few seconds left on the clock.

1999, 38-14 Win over Notre Dame in Knoxville.

I was watching with my friend, his friend and my new girlfriend. I was so pissed at the refs during that game that I hit myself in the head with my shoe, thew it at the tv, and broke a dry erase board over my head.

THAT was with a 24 point win, so I just decided to start going to all the games after that. I won't act like that in public, so it saves me, and the lives of countless innocent objects.

:eek:lol: :eek:lol: :eek:lol:

I have a bad habit of punching immoveable objects when I become angered by a game. Fortunately, I guess, I'm a wuss and my weak punches have yet to break anything.

Now she just knows it will all be over in 3 - 4 hours (except the occasional 6 OT game)

Tennessee's season last year was directly related to the dissolution of my engagement. I would give it 25% of the blame, as I was a miserable cuss to live with. And she didn't know when to leave me alone (i.e. when UT is playing, and DEFINITELY after we lose)

Wow! What an interesting and entertaining thread. I(being a woman) have only thrown an occasional remote down on the floor and screamed bloody murder. But I am just as quick to jump up and dance around my living room when we score!!!

I used to be a little more expressive with my temper, but in college I learned my lesson. I had a friend in the dorm who was upset about a softball loss, so he took an aluminum bat to a reinforced column in the dorm. The bat came back and broke his nose. It was the funniest and saddest thing I have ever seen.

I broke my dog's jaw after the loss to Notre Dame last year. I hate Notre Dame. I didn't really mean to hurt my dog, it was an accident.
