UT games are some of the most intense games on Saturdays in the fall, and ALL of our games seem to be emotional roller coaster rides.

1. Anger

I rarely see anyone as angry as a Vol fan who feels as if the refs are cheating for the other time. Do the refs just choose to ignore every time the other team deserves a flag for pass interference?

2. Sadness

Most of the first half is sad for us this year. We’re definitely a second half team, which is better than a first half team, but it still makes us sad that we can’t seem to do anything during the first half.

3. Disappointment

There’s really no explanation needed here. It’s the feeling every time Dobbs’ throw hits the receiver in the hands, and the receiver drops it.

4. Exhaustion

Getting up early in the morning to go to Game Day, going straight to a tailgate, and then going to the game can be exhausting. It doesn’t help that the student section’s broken bleachers can tire our feet out in a hurry.

5. Apathy

Every now and then, we get so frustrated that we just don’t care for a few minutes. I mean, deep down, we still care, but sometimes we don’t really want to.

6. Disbelief

Disbelief can be both good and bad, and we experience both. When UT gets an interception and then doesn’t score, that’s bad disbelief. When we have 4 seconds left in the game and catch a Hail Mary, that’s good disbelief.

7. Fear

We may act like confident fans, but we’re all just a little scared of what’s happening in the game sometimes.

8. Nausea

I felt sick to my stomach for the last quarter of the Texas A&M game. I’m sure most of you can relate.

9. Happiness

Every time we get a touchdown or even a field goal, we act as if we just won a championship.

10. Hope

We hope a lot during UT games. Lately, we seem to do a lot of hoping that UT won’t screw up during the last 2 minutes of the game.

11. Pumped

Every time we win, we go crazy. Every time our defense gets the other team to third down, we go crazy, or at least we used to (Make third down great again!). We just go crazy a lot.

UT fans go through a lot just to watch a game, and if you go to Neyland, it’s even crazier. I wouldn’t rather be a fan of any other team in the SEC though.
