Probably just a remote control for me...when I was a younger man. I've mellowed as I've gotten older, like a fine wine.
Most expensive thing you've broken reacting to UK game?

I've busted a few remotes also. After the 94 loss to UNC I took a chainsaw to my basketball goal. It was on a wooden pole with a wooden backboard. I was 13 at the time
I've not ever broken anything. I've got quite a vocabulary however, meaning I could embarass a seasoned sailor in under 5 seconds.
There have been a few games where I've turned an aircraft carrier pink.

Water bed during a loss to Ole Miss as a teenager. Happened sometime during the Tubby years.
I kicked through a flatscreen and punched a hole through the wall as I walked outside once.
I came home to traumatized kids crying and felt like a total ass. Talked with the kids for a while and apologized for daddy's behavior and have made a conscience effort to not allow myself to build into a rage.
I honestly rarely look up (when at the game) or watch third downs on defense anymore. They absolutely kill me. I will literally flip the channel for a second and flip right back and accept the result. I'm a loon.

Ripped a t-shirt off like Hulk Hogan during the Notre Dame game this year. Countless remotes, holes in walls, etc. sort of calmed down over the years during regular season games, but NCAA games I turn into a werewolf.
Like earlier poster broken heart after Texas Western game and again by Laetner.
Remote Control's. Plural. Uh...Most of the time I just hit my coffee table with the side of my fist. But the craziest thing is after we got beat against Wisconsin I took a baseball bat outside and starting beating the hell out of a tree and the aluminum baseball broke where I was so mad and hitting the tree so hard LOL.
Might I suggest watching the "homer" broadcast they now provide during Final Four games? I usually yell something along the lines of "grab the ball" or "call the damn foul" and my dog, whom I have never struck, hides under the bed. But when the announcers are pointing out the same fouls you are seeing, and calling out the players who aren't doing their jobs, it makes losing a lot easier to take. I didn't yell one time during the Wisconsin loss, and that was a bigger upset than the game itself.
Remotes is about it. Nothing now as it's too silly. I do use language that I should not. When Watford hit that shot, before I could even think, one word came out.....MFer. It was in front of kids too. Regret that and won't happen again.
I have never broken anything. However I have hit tables and chairs. Also I cuss a bunch if they are playing bad.
That's why I prefer watching games alone. That way I can stand up and walk back in forth when nervous. However if I'm with others I have to keep myself calm. I enjoy going out and watching games but I have to drink!

Wow, I want details on this story seems interesting.

My hand.
Ironically we won the game in question... It was utah in 98. I guess the stress of the duke and Stanford games had just taken their toll on me. The basket that put us down 10 caused me to punch the wall. Apparently it was a support beam because the wall had no give.

My soul
Broke the glass in my coffee table. Can't remember which game. Broke a foot stool, throwing it at the TV in the '85 Georgetown game. At least, I missed the TV.
Those incidents happened in my violent days when I was a young man. I don't get violent anymore. Although, just the other day a guy cut me off on the road and I laid on my horn and he flipped ME a bird. I wanted to get violent then.

I've never broken anything. But when I was a freshman at UK and my brother was a senior we lost to Duke and he picked up a bar stool and proceded to beat the crap out of our front door with it
You just explained me. I hate leaving the house to watch a game. I pace during close games and I prefer not to watch games with others because I have to…. Behave.
The only thing I ever broke was pool table fabric. The loss to UAB in the NCAA tournament caused me to chuck a folding stool across the basement. It glanced off the top of the pool table . I later discovered it ripped the fabric.
The tear us still there now. Selling the pool table and the house it's wrapped in.

Ripped a pillow in half during UK-Michigan in '93.
Also put a dent in the wall after Laettner shot.

I think I walked around the couch 20 times during the last five minutes of the Kansas game in 2012.
After Edgar Sosa hit the 3 I picked up the first thing I saw, a large candle on the coffee table, and threw it against the tile floor in the kitchen. Unfortunately it had more bounce in it than I expected and it bounced into the wall in the kitchen putting a fairly large hole in the drywall. Not my finest moment.
I head butted a door so hard during the Wisconsin game this year that it split my forehead and I now have a scar. No huge gash, but blood was def running down. I could really tell some off the wall things because I used to freak the F out. Cal has really helped me mellow out though.
During the UK vs U of L final four game I had a bunch of friends over to watch the game. Only one of them was a UK fan. The rest of them were rooting for U of L just to piss me off. Especially one who is a Tennessee fan. Our lead had shrinked to 1 point with 5 or so minutes left game. Teague took a really bad shot. I was sitting in front of the the recliner turned around and punched it. I broke a bone in my hand a needed surgery. I also had to restart the police academy all over again with the next police academy. Luckily they didn't make me pay for it, I just wasted 3 months of my life and posponed graduating college and the academy by six months.
P.S. The chair was fine by the way

I busted a hole in my wall after the Laetner shot. Several remotes and busted some glasses. GBB !
Never EVER watch an important game with people unless you are SURE they are pulling for your team. Don't fall for the old "I just want to see a good game" crap. That person will turn on you as soon as the game gets close.
