How many will fess up and admit they went to bed when the Vols were behind in the second half?

I was in bed before it even started.

I heard a guy on Sports Talk yesterday at about 5:15 call in and say that Barnes should sit the starters and only play the 2nd stringers to get them more experience and rest the starters for AU and the tourney, because, well...we were gonna get killed in Rupp anyway.

I thought the logic was sound. I am an idiot. I also went to bed in the 9th inning of 2011 Game 6 and missed the best world series game in history.

I blame all of this on georgia.

Absolutely stayed with them the whole time. As difficult as this season has been, it is also the most unpredictable concerning outcomes. I knew we had a chance if we cut down the turnovers. What I didn't necessarily expect was for the Vols to play their best half of basketball all season.

I was up last night and never gave up on the Cardinals in game six. Go Vols and Go Cards.

I didnā€™t go to bed, but My wife had gone to bed. I told her that we won by 8 and she said WHAT! She could not believe it. Probably the most unlikely win for a Tennessee basketball team. I love it. I remember some very good wins from Mearā€™s teams, but this may be the most unexpected because of erasing a 17 point deficit at Kentucky.

That's not too bad. I left the '04 FL game with 2 minutes left. I did the math and three handoffs and FL runs out the clock. I heard a huge roar walking back to my car....

I didn't go to bed, but I had tuned it out. It was still on my TV but I was working on my laptop at my desk. Every now and then I'd glance back to see the score. When it got down to 7 I started paying attention again.

I half wish that I had gone to bed because it was near impossible to get to sleep after what transpired. Go Vols!

Me Too; it must have been 12:30 or 1 before I was able to go to sleep being so wired up from the game. Our grandson who is a senior at University of Wyoming keep texting me though the game. Next to last text was, "We are going to win!". And last text was score. He also loved watching those in blue leaving the arena before game was finished!

I can actually say I watched to the final buzzer. The most aggravating thing was seeing all those careless turnovers. Continuing to fight and play extremely hard was key in this one. Glad this team has that mentality.

I've stayed through every minute of every game. I'd rather watch the Vols in a losing effort than anything else.

I love watching Fulk play. I want to see Bowden's final games in orange. I love watching the young guys grow and show progress. I am able to get enjoyment out of any UT basketball or football because I love our program.

Hell, I even enjoy bitching about the refs screwing us because I know that a lot of games would be different with fair officiating. I'm a UT addict that will never want/need rehab.

When the lead was around 15 I moved to the other side of the room and focused on Bob and Bert's call. When TN started chipping away I didn't want to jinx them so I stayed with that the rest of the way. I'll watch the DVR later today.

I started watching RU vs MD at 7, then the entire UT game. One of my favorite evenings.

I did as well and do not like being up past usual bed time. (the life of an old fart.) But my sister texted me a bit before eleven..said Fulky was battling (we're from Kpt) So U knew there was a chance. But i did het the result before I watched the recording from when I bailed. Happy for the boys, esp Vescovi family (Someone get them some Orange to wear!)
