re: How did you react to the "pseudo" loss to Tennessee last year?

To put this all in perspective, I was in the visitors endzone seats the year before at Ole Miss. I watched the Meltdown in Mississippi firsthand.
As I sat in the student section watching the end of the Tenn game unfold, as I saw the ball being spiked, I stopped screaming. Stopped yelling. Sat down on the bleacher, put my head in my hands. I was thinking about how LSU football is going to kill me one day. Also, how much I despised every single fiber of Les Miles body.
When the flag was called, I couldn't handle it. I was sure they were going to break my heart twice.
Turns out we won, and it was the most pissed off I have ever been about a victory in my entire life.

i wonder if people would be calling for Miles head if that loss would of happened? all I know is that we def. deserved to lose and was worried about the future of our program and how long Miles/Crowton will last.

I have a great story about this game. My uncle is a Tennessee grad. He called my Mom right after the game to rub it in. He went all out and then hung up the phone. My Mom called him back 15 minutes later, called him a loser and hung up. Lol

I laughed like I've never laughed at a football game before.
Thoroughly entertaining.

Best. Thread. Ever.
For what it's worth - I was suppose to be on good behavior that day, because my wife's non-football watchin' family was staying with us.
But I went absolutely angry ape starting @ 25 seconds left and JJ lookin to the sideline with the deer in the headlights look... I started to drop some big boy language at Les via the TV.
My Mother-in-law (Bless her heart) just looked at me with a drop jawed white face -- she looked like she had seen a ghost. Then the the snap went past JJ...
I started turning over tables and couches - cursing Les Miles, kicking the walls. Veins bustin out of my forehead. I realize this was making the in-laws uncomfortable - so I headed in to the Master Bath to relieve the bladder and continue my tirade.
Then I hear my wife yell - "No Way-- Babe, there was a penalty -- LSU gets one more play!"
I come chargin out of the bathroom with my pants fallin down to my knees, trippin all over the place to get to the TV - Ridley takes the ball and gets met at the line... I grab my brother-in-law who was now standing in front of his chair, and I start pushing him -- as if that energy would help get Ridley in the Zone. It seemed to last for 10 minutes.
TD -- we both fall into the tipped over couch - and I get up and go make a lap around the house screaming holding my pants up the whole way.
Then I calmed down, buttoned up the pants, and cursed the coaches some more.
The bad news is that the Mother-in-law has been telling my wife that I seriously need counseling ever since that day.
The Good news is - I think the in-laws are now Tiger fans, or at least they act that way around me outta fear...

For that Tennessee "win".. when I saw that snap go over JJ's head I just sat in disbelief. I stared at the TV with my mouth agape and my arms raised above my head like "wtf". Then my arms slowly came down on top of my head and over my face. Then I realized there was a flag.

I completely lost my shite in front of my kids. They heard things come out of Dad's mouth they never heard before. Not my finest moment, and Im not proud of it.

Whichever poster said that JJ looked like a "drunk, retarded gopher" on that last play...
Funniest thing I've read on TD in a very long time!

GREAT fricking story!
If nothing else, maybe the in-laws just won't come around during football season anymore.
As for me, I was just showing my brother-in-law my system for getting a loss out of my head for the rest of the afternoon, I had just popped open a cold one, turned on the stereo to some rockin music and was heading to the TV to turn it off saying, "trust me, this will help, we'll just shut that shite down..." when my sister said, "Wait a minute..."
We all sat there dumbfounded, but as soon as I saw the play that was lining up (lets' face it, we could all tell the plays from the formations) I KNEW it was going in for a TD. Sure enough, touchdown Tigers, and not even so much as a thank you or even an extra point - game over. that's when I began laughing my arse off. I looked at my bro-in-law and he just had a 'what the frick' look oon his face, and I just started laughing even harder.
I've never laughed so hard after a game - and I'm a long-suffering Saints fan. I was laughing harder after the UT game than I was after the Jacksonville game in '03 when Carney missed the XP after the ridiculous lateral display in the last 7 seconds got the Saints a TD and within one. That shite was pretty funny. I believe a playoff berth was on the line.

My brother and I were at our friends watching the game. When I seen the ball snapped back to mid field, I couldn't believe it. I really couldn't. I'm not really a emotional person, so I just gave my brother a high-five and we just sat there on the couch for a few seconds thinking "Wow! We just beat a quality SEC opponent for the first time in years". It felt awesome.
....then I seen a flag. My heart sank into my stomach. LSU lined-up for another play...and well...you know the rest.
After sitting there in disbelief, I got up and walked outside on to the porch with my hands in my pockets. I just stood there in my jersey staring out into space. I couldn't believe what just happened. I didn't care about anything afterwards that day. I just wanted to go to sleep.
The only thing that helped my get through it the following days and weeks, was to just keep telling myself that "it was too good to be true".
