You can really hear in these videos how quiet it gets when the ball is in the air, and it was in the air a long time!
I have to tell on myself, though. I didn't celebrate nearly as much or in a way that I should have, because I spent a lot of energy belittling the UT douchebag fan sitting a couple seats down from me.
First, my section was solid blue except for this one pumpkin orange and black tool and his girlfriend. At first I tried to give him a break...maybe he was there with friends (which I've done at away games), but it didn't look like it. He was pretty subdued the first half, as a visitor should be, but then when UT started showing some life, he started up with his douchebaggery.
I might have still given him a break for his excitement, because I also sometimes can't contain myself when something good happens, but then I watched him, and not only was he "over the top", but he would immediately look around as he was doing it to see whose skin he could get under...he was there to taunt Gators.
Game f*cking on.
You DO NOT come into our house, get tickets in the middle of our section, so you can show your ass. I'll refrain from sharing my comments, but clearly his fat little girlfriend was offended. But as things kept going UTs way, I tried to demonstrate the maturity that my age would dictate and ignore this punk...but I was seething, not just with him, but with how the game was going. I was close to being triggered.
After our "no timeout debacle", this f*cktard stands up and starts yelling "OT! OT Baby!" with this shyt-eating grin, looking around to see who was looking at him. And then...it happened.
I saw Cleveland raise his hand....I saw Franks with the little "hitch", and then his big windup...the ball's in the air....the big gasp....the catch....and then the explosion. I was in the sunshine seats for Grier to Callaway, and that was awesome, but being closer to the field, on the south side (I'm about 25 yd line), the explosion was even bigger! I had my arms straight up, yelling "holy shyt" nonstop, and then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw him.
The most dumbfounded, blank, dead stare you've ever seen, and I instinctually went straight into the biggest chomp right at him. He refused to look at me at first, but his fat girlfriend was looking at me in horror, and finally when he looked I said "No OT, Baby!...now why don't you get the f*ck out of my stadium!" He looked away again pretending he couldn't hear me, but tears started welling up, when he turned around and started leaving.
Now in retrospect, I'm a little embarrassed, both in the way I acted, and that I let this guy get under my skin enough that I focused on him rather than the joy of the win. But at the time, the way he acted the whole 2nd half, there wasn't any way I could stop myself.
I hate UT.
You done good Blackfoot.
