It'll be hard to top Kellen Winslow Jr.'s meltdown following the loss to UT but if you have a memorable postgame hissy fit (even if it's from a Tennessee player/coach) post it!

Noone out side of my dorm would remember this but I was NOT a happy camper following the 9-6 loss to Bama in 1990 and MAY have done or said some less than encouraging things to Bama fans as they passed by my dorm going to their cars.

But they deserved it. They were cheering for Bama.

Was thinking the same thing. Infact, I really can't think of any other except for Albert Toena's hissy fit after....I forget which game but it was bad.


Edit: If we're allowed to site examples not related to UT, I LOVED the coach from OK St when he went off...

"Come after me!! I'm a man!! I'm 40!!."

Another favorite was Jim Donnan going off on Fulmer (in front of his daughter no less!!) at the postgame handshake after a UT win over Georgia....

That was 1997. Was that the year that Donnan sent some UGA guys to stomp on the T during warmups to try and get his guys fired up?

Then he gets upset at UT's backups scoring on his yearly overrated pathetic UGA teams.

That was, bar none, the worst loss of my lifetime. Johnny was snakebit regarding Bama.

I was too depressed to function with any venom after that one. Life is just plain cruel sometimes.

Everything was so freaking perfect about that day until we lost. I don't think there was a better football weather day ever in the history of the world. Sunshining, weather in the low 60's and a 3:30pm kickoff time. Bama coming to town just a week after we had beat UF 45-3 and we were going to end the streak.

Man, 21 years later and it still stings. It was that game that my buddies and I decided that we were going to every Tennessee Bama game until we saw us beat them live and we finally saw it in Birmingham in 1995.

Kellen Winslow Jr. Kellen Winslow Soldier Tirade - YouTube

He's an f'n soldier

I don't give a hell bout nobody but this U.

That tirade was priceless. Many may not remember what caused it though. Winslow threw one of the best blocks I've ever seen and took out TWO Tennessee players at once, hurting one of them. He then stood over the limp body of the one he hurt and taunted him. The reporter asked if he knew the guy was hurt. Begin tirade...

Toeiana's hissy fit came after we lost to Vandy and ended our chances of a bowl game...

lol that rant reminds me of the rant by the old coach who use to coach the Colts.

"Playoff's? "are you kidding me, Playoff's"? :eek:lol:

I remember well, because it involved 2 of the most important things in my life, my son and UT football. The season was 1999, a year removed from the National Championship, high hopes, and although we had already lost to Florida, I still had hope that things could work in our favor, but then we lost to stincking Arkansas. During that game, on one of Arky's scores i got so mad I grabbed a phillips head screwdriver off of the coffee table and turned and with all my might and while saying words that would be bleeped on cable TV, i slung that screwdriver across the room. The moment it left my hand I see my 3 year old son standing up in a playpen i had stuck him in to play so he didnt "bother" me while i was watching the game and the screwdriver goes right over his head, no more than 2 inches and goes through the wall behind him. Ive never forgotten the look on my sons face as i was yelling and cussing and the fear as that screwdriver sailed from my hand toward my sons little head. That was the day that i said "y'know, maybe im taking this way too seriously" and my priorities and perspective on things changed. I still get mad, and I hate to see us lose, but I remember that in the big scheme of things, its still just a game.

Dennis Green after the Cards folded against the Bears was great. Mike Gundy during his I'm a man, I'm 40 was pretty good too.
