Yeah, I was brought to tears when the clock ran out. After the game I stayed up with my Dad till 3:30 talking about the game over a highball. My dad said they could bury him now that we were NC's. What a day!
Oh, yes, my eyes did get a little misty when the game started. Heck, I teared up during the intro to the 2001 SECCG. I, too, just couldn't BELIEVE we had finally made it!
I was so wiped out emotionally from watching the 4th quarter, I was kind of in a trance after the game ended, when we were down in the Quarter. True to my husband's prediction, when we got back home to NC, I sat down, got on the TigerForum, read what y'all were saying, and starting bawling tears of joy!
*rasies hand* Yeah I cried I couldnt help it, I was right down the street from the dome yet I didnt get to go. Between that and all the alocohol and of course the huge win, I was crying like a little girl with a skinned knee. I am not ashamed.
Same for me, exactly. Then, I hugged both of my kids. Some time later, after I had listened to and seen all of the postgame shows on radio and tv, I turned it all off, sat in the dark and talked to my mom, who passed away three years ago. I longed to see her happy face, rejoicing in the big Tigers victory. She was about the biggest LSU fan there ever was. She lived in Baton Rouge and was at my house visiting and watching the game with me when Warren Morris hit the home run to win the CBWS. We danced and huggged and cried when THAT happened. I can hardly imagine what her reaction would have been when the clock ticked to zero Sunday night! I love you Mom!
OK, OK....if I didn't cry before, Now I am!! My mom is a huge LSU fan like that too. She called me like 10 times during the game then after it was over. Man, she was pumped! She always gets really excited at ANY LSU game, but this topped them all. I just wish I had been able to get tickets for her.:cry:
i didn't cry but damn it did i ever have to hold back. when i called my dad right after he was balling. i've only seen him cry maybe 3 times in his life too.
USC cried like babies when it was all done and over with too... I'm waiting for them to stop.... Geaux Tigers!!
