We all remember watching the November game on TV and when we lost in OT the camera found a guy and young lady. The guy was very upset and was crying. So many people made fun of him and called it "Roll Tears Roll".

I felt bad for him because I have a 14 year old son who was feeling just as bad as he also cried, but he is 14. A lot of abuse this guy suffered. I wonder how he feeling now, maybe he cried again, Tears of Joy!

I'd love to see/hear about him.

Dude earned the abuse he took, but glad he was vindicated. I can honestly say I have never cried over a loss of a game that I didn't play in, and I hope I never do.

I cried over an Ole Miss loss in the '80s. I might have been 10. It wasn't even on TV, we were listening to the radio in the car.

I cried as a freshman when my HS team lost in the finals of the state playoffs. Most of my classmates cried in the stands that night. Like Les said, I just didn't see it coming. I "knew" that we were going to win, and was crushed when we didn't. I completely understand.

I'm sorry, but no college aged male should be crying over a sporting event if they are not apart of the team. I laughed at the the people in student section that were crying around me when we lost to LSU in OT during the Shula years.

I did when I was a teenager, a couple of times. That was when ear was coaching, then I got some perspective...

If they lack perspective, what is it that you lack? :cool2:

I heard a few "roll tears roll" chants BEFORE the game Monday night. Quiet as church mice afterwards. :biggrin:

I almost cried when the team took the field.I get emotional about Bama football thinking about my grandfather and what I have been told about what the Tide meant to him.
