Favorite "sore loser" moment...

I went to visit my old room mate in Lexington and arrived in town the evening of their Elite 8 loss to West Virginia two years ago. He had about a dozen people over for the game and as I pulled up to his place he met me outside. It was the start of the second half.

Quote.
"Now listen, UK is down right now and I know you like to rub it in, but if you want to walk out in one piece you might want to stay quite unless we win."

That second half I have never been so frightened to speak up during a sporting event. I'm a Bama fan and I have been to every SEC football stadium except Miss. St. I have ragged on every school from BC to USC. I've done it all with a smile and took every return jab with a smile. That night I was seriously scared to speak. Anything that wasn't bolted down was thrown. A fist fight broke out in the apartment next door when Louisville fans were going door to door nagging all the UK students that lived there. We went to a bar afterward and multiple fights broke out, bottles would fly at TVs whenever highlights from the game would be shown. It was ugly. The entire city seemed hungover for several days.

Mine was in 72 or 73 I think. My mom was a big bama fan &she worked with a bunch of other bama fans on the army base in Huntsville Al. All of them went in this big ole van with me and my mom.I was all excited, my first Tenn/bama game,this was going to be the greatest day ever. As the game was winding down and with us losing 42-21 my greatest day ever was turning into the worst day ever,and being a die hard 7 year old Vol fan, of coarse I started crying and throwing a good ole fit. My mom being embarrased and not wanting to beat me in front of 70,000 some odd people at Legion field, we left early. All the way to the van my mom asked me if I wanted anything, anything at all , just tell her. I would just look at her thru my teary eyes and say " No, I don't want anything". As we got back to the van and before all the others got there she ask one last time "Do you want anything at all". I wiped tears from my eyes and said " The only thing I want is for you to become a VOL fan like dad & me, cause if you truly love me you will do this for me." Well needless to say when we got home I got to burn that da*n bean bag and all the other crap she had around the house that night when we got home. So even though we lost that day it did turn out to be the greatest day ever . GBO & god bless the love a mother has for her spoiled azz son.

It probably doesn't classify as "sore loser" antics per se, but I just LOVED seeing Spurrier slam his visor after we won in 98. That picture was on my wall for a while after that!

i was cursing and drinking hard for 4 hours after that 2000 loss to florida where the $%#$#@ ref ruled that jabar gaffney held the ball long enough for a TD, which was a terrible call. I walked down to the strip and drank a bunch of Jack and water to relieve the pain.

I don't know if anyone remembers his but Tennessee was playing Arkansas and I think Peyton was our QB at the time. We had the game locked and we were about to kneel the ball and the cut to behind the Arkansas coach and he said on camera "I hope he tears his knee"

That was 1993 and Shuler was the qb.

Hacksaw Reynolds... after loss to the mules of Ole Miss.... need I say more

No further candidates need be considered. Although Bobby Knight’s thousand individual outbursts may have collectively unleashed more venom, Hacksaw was a sustained force of nature, like a hurricane, that simply had to dissipate his energy. This is the most detailed account of the legendary incident that I have ever run across:

“In 1969, when I was a senior at the University of Tennessee, we had already clinched the Southeastern Conference title but still had to play Ole Miss. If Tennessee won the game, we would have gone to the Sugar Bowl. The previous year Tennessee had beaten Ole Miss 31-0. Things went badly that day and Ole Miss beat the Vols 38-0.

I played a good game and was really upset at the outcome, so I went back to school. We had an old car, a ’53 Chevrolet with no motor, on top of a bluff above the school. We used to push it around with a guy’s jeep and practice driving into things…like demolition derby.

When I got back to school I decided that I would cut that old car in half to make a trailer for a new jeep I had just purchased. It was a good outlet for my frustrations. I went to K-Mart and bought the cheapest hacksaw they had…along with 13 replacement blades. I cut through the entire frame and drive shaft, all the way through the car. I started on Sunday and finished Monday afternoon.

It took me eight hours total time. I broke all 13 blades. When I finished I went and got one guy from the dorm, Ray Nettles, to witness it. The next day we took the rest of our friends from the dorm up the hill to it, but when we got there both halves of the car were gone…with just the 13 broken blades lying on the ground.

To this day, I don’t know what happened to the car” (Jack "Hacksaw" Reynolds).

"The game is over"-inadequate, unqualified Big 10 ref

Twenty minutes later it is raining beer bottles and bull**** chants are echoing down the ramps of LP Field

If this has been mentioned, sorry. I say Lane Kiffin after the 09 Bama game. Blamed Bama cheating, blamed the refs, mentioned that they have to come to Knoxville next year,blah blah blah.
