What's your biggest flip out after a UConn loss?

I've tried to forget about the bad losses and not hold on to them enough to flip out, but every one of those mentioned in this thread definitely had me in a sour mood for anywhere from hours to a few days.

While I've never flipped out over a loss, there are three incredibly painful wins that come to mind immediately as games where I flipped out during the game because I thought we were going to lose:
  • Duke, FF Semis, 2004 (was at the game and thought I was having a cardiac event; my buddy vowed to carry me out if I did; could not bear the thought of hanging out in San Antonio for three more days while Duke partied on).

Haha- I was thinking the same thing!

I was going so crazy during this game that my dog took off into the woods because he was terrified of my screaming.

Best dog ever- part wolf/husky- just an amazing animal and had no fear of anything whatsoever except for me that night.
 
Jeff King, may he RIP, his pass the wrong way to Stevie Thompson in the Civic Center in '88 caused a bit of dorm room damage. Actually coach left him in a tricky spot by burning the last timeout. Also, the pass of Brian Fair's head against G'Town in '92 caused a bit of damage at my apartment. Ah, memories.

Selective amnesia after giving all that head in a bar.


Probably one of those things where the brain blocks out certain events due to the trauma the memory triggers.

GIVING head???? I'm sorry, my mind doesn't work that way. I guess you guys are a lot more modern-thinking on things like this.
 
I'd like to think the near-universal ignoring of The Free Throws is because we all blacked out before OT started.

sure a big loss can hurt, but it's nothing that a beer or three and a nice sloppy blowjob can't fix.

The second part doesn't work if your wife/girlfriend is as big a fan as you are!

I love this thread. We should all get together for the next big game. Bring your own projectile.

Donyell? Yeah that wasn't good. Had we beat Florida we had a walkover against BC to get to the final 4. That game and the loss to Miss State in 95 both stick in my craw but I was alone with my wife each time so didn't get violent.

I never felt worse for a player in my life. You could see the pain he felt right after that pass. That's why that picture of him and Phil Gamble sitting on the hoop after winning the NIT is one of my favorite photos.
 
Elite 8 vs Maryland in 2002. That was such a fun team to watch and thought they had a good shot at winning the whole thing. With the way Caron was playing down the stretch it was obvious he was going pro and i wanted to see them at least make it to the Final Four. I put a blank VHS tape in to record that game (little before the DVR days). When the game was over i...well lets just say i feel bad for that VHS tape.

Definitely the hardest I ever took a UConn loss. And I hate to admit that I still have never forgiven him for that. No player has ever fallen further, faster with me. Arguably the best single season ever by a UConn player, forever tarnished in an instant.
 
I guess this thread makes me realize I deal with rough losses with sex. Unless someone brought up Jackson State and I missed... I dealt with them in a consistent manner. And pretty much the good wins too - except Gonzaga in the Elite 8 - had to just take the win and move on.

I might have repeatedly peed on a visiting Lousville car in 2011 after the Huskies choked off on very winnable game due to last-minutes errors. Not proud of it but I thought I helped wash off a stockpile of snow on the windshield using biodegradable resources.
 
The oft-mentioned 2003 game against Miami probably led to my worst decision after a game.

I just couldn't believe what had happened and I remember thinking "What are other people saying about this?" So I went online to read about the game and found my way to the ESPN message boards. After that, my productivity at work dropped off dramatically. In addition, I had the misfortune of having to wade through the trolls and morons on those boards.

As a silver lining, I found my way to the Boneyard several years ago. Still not as productive in the office as I was 10+ years ago, though.

For some reason the FL game and the Mason game were the two that hit me hard.

The FL game I ran to the restroom all giddy that Donyell was sinking both FTs. Well.....there was quite a bit of an argument between me and the ex wife. She was all religious and asked that we pray for a better showing next year. I wasn't in a praying mood after the game and admittedly my response was not very mature.

The Mason game was pure arrogance on my part. To the last second I was so confident Denahm was sinking the 3. It hit me after a week and only cried then.
 
This is a truly classic thread...would love for MakersMuppet to chime in.

Personally, I needed to redo some drywall after the Maryland loss in '02.

As for Makers Muppet, the brightest stars are the ones that shine the briefest. The good news is new stars are born all the time.

That's funny, there was no doubt in my mind he was going to miss. There was Rashad wide open and waving for the ball, he would have made it.

Especially when you heard about the all-nigher he had the earlier that day. That season he went 20-20 at MSG and he couldn't make 1?

Without question, hearing about the partying until 3:00 a.m. sealed the deal. I was at the 20-20, 42-point MSG game earlier that season. I had never seen anything like it. But he went from hero to zero with me after that loss and all that followed. As we know, we had plenty of painful losses before and since, but the combination of the fact that we had yet to reach the promised land and his all-nighter before that game stuck with me for so long that I really could never shake it. I know he made the right financial decision to jump after that given the impending salary cap, but that just added insult to injury for me--however misplaced.
 
I threw up in my mouth ( and sometimes dribbled some on the carpet) every time that kid on Miss St. with the ugliest shot in history hit a 3 in the 96 sweet 16. That Uconn team was a juggernaut.

Oh, and for the 94 Donyell missed FT my band was setup waiting to play and obviously wouldn't start until game was over (game went pretty late). when we lost in OT I packed my stuff up and didnt play, which was ok because everyone was so pissed they left the bar

I had the flu for the six ot game against cuse. I took nyquil which normally knocks me the out, but my adrenaline was pumping, I made it through the first five overtimes on adrenaline alone, but the at the end of the sixth all I could muster was falling into a pile on the floor and slowly pouting as a passed out for the night. (Not really an extreme reaction itself but surely hilarious if you had seen it)
 
I broke most of the dishes in my apartment @ Carriage House after the Maryland loss. I was more upset that that was the end of Caron's time at UConn.

I cried (I was 10) when Chrissy hit that shot and again in a different way when Donyell choked against Fla St. After losing to Mason, I drank so much whiskey that I threw up in a laundry basket and subsequently passed out in the bathtub (adjacent to said laundry basket).

I don't get nearly as angry today; I just get depressed and despondent after a particularly bad loss.
