Didn't cry, but I felt like it seeing the Arkansas players sprint across the field after beating LSU last season. After BA kneeled, I was fine. But seeing the players run to get the boot almost got me That SEC loss streak was brutal.

I cried when the Bama players ran out of the tunnel for the BCSNCG against ND. I knew it would be the last Bama game that my Dad would see. He had inoperable pancreatic cancer and he only had about 5 weeks to live after that. It honestly didn't matter to me whether we won or lost. I was a wreck the whole game.

Welled up pretty good when the Black and Gold won the Super Bowl.

After supporting them for so long I never thought I would ever see it.

Holy shite was that incredible.

I know 1/9/12 is a bit of a sore spot around here, but this post wasn't trying to mock LSU. It was about a city that had been wrecked by a tornado and being happy for the people of that city.




This. I think I was more emotional during the first game against Kent State. Was a tough Spring and Summer for me after the tornado.

And in response to what somebody said earlier about Siran Stacy.. I got very emotional listening to him speak at an Alabama event where he led everyone in a "Tide Get Ready to Roll.. Tide" chant. His story is heartbreaking I don't care who you are.

[]No tears but I got kind of emotional when the Saints won the NFCCG to send them to the Super Bowl. It's something I never thought I'd see.[/]
This, and the NC in 2003. My Daddy died in 2001 and would have been beside himself had he been upon this earth to see 2003. That was enough for me.

Right after I finished my last ever race in college I cried right after it hit me that I would never race as part of a team again.

Cried after we won the first conference championship I was a part of as we won it in the last event (400 relay). We looked to be dead after the second leg but our last two legs came out and made a huge comeback and we barely edged out second place for the win and the title.

When the Rams won the Superbowl because as a Rams fan it was simply an amazing year that no one could have predicted.

When I was a young lad, I cried after the Dallas Cowboys lost to Joe Montana and the "catch" with Clark.

My father had to console me as I went to my bedroom and cried. I guess I was around 12 years old.

A few have done it from LSU and the saints.
Watching Secretariat's Belmont makes me misty eyed.

But when Dale Earnhardt won the Daytona 500 I was a little baby.

After the Saints' Super Bowl. Still the greatest local accomplishment in sports that I'm ever gonna see. Even if they manage to somehow win another down the road, it will never be able to overtake that feeling. How absolutely incredible. Still gives me goosebumps.

I would say three times that I can recall

2004 BCS NC game. LSU vs Oklahoma. I remember calling my mom and dad that night and crying while in the dome. Not balling so much but put a tear in my eye. Much like the Saints win to go to the Superbowl, just never thought I would see it happen in my lifetime. I was there to witness it as well.

2009 NFC championship game Saints vs Vikings. I realize we won the superbowl but I never thought we would ever get there and that last second fg I just started balling.

2008 LSU Super Regional game 2 vs UNC Irvine. My mom had just died a few weeks before. I remember turning the game on in my bedroom on a clock radio I got from her when she passed and listened to the comeback and was just thinking she was there. I can't tell you how many times when I was a kid I got asked to go outside the house when watching LSU games due to my cursing outbreaks.

I don't think I've shed tears, but I was pretty emotional following Wisconsin's loss to Duke in this season's Championship Game.

I was at the game. Seeing a team of players that have developed through the program over the course of multiple years was really hard to watch falter after having a near double-digit lead.
