What was the first game (if any?) that you cried at ?

[FrankUnderwood]

fun topic -

I cried (meaning a few straggler tears lol) / misty eyed ---) for the first time in 97 when I was like 12/13 when we lost to Zona in the title game. I was so sad/ mad/ upset lol

Then, the nxt year I cried when we got down like 17( or was it 19?) to Duke - totally thought we were gonna lose. My buddy even called me to vent/ share his sadness
- but hell if I wasn't wrong- Euphorically happy after that game


Kinda did when we lost to WVU with wall, Cousins and Bledsoe

Then I "cried" when we beat Kansas in 12 with Davis and Co


The I def had a couple tears when we lost to Wisconsin in the FF



Real mean have tears lol

 

[Kentucky fan 1989]

2001 loss to USC was my first time. Then 2003 Marquette. But I cried on the inside when we lost to Wisconsin.

 

[UKFAN4L]

1992 verse Duke. I cried when I punched a stop sign after running out of my house. Broke my hand. #truestory

 

[WCSPlayedWRInHS]

Same as the op. I was 12 when Kentucky lost to zona and it crushed me.

 

[ulismyman]

7 years old...1969 against Jacksonville and Artis Gilmore...102-99 if memory serves

 

[TNCatfanforever]

1966. Tex western loss

 

[kev69]

I've never cried after a game.

I usually just drank a lot after a bad loss, and then I start crying.

 

[drbubba]

1975 finals.

 

[Calsthebomb]

Marquette. 12 years old. Actually had a loose tooth fall out after the fit I threw.

7 years old...1969 against Jacksonville and Artis Gilmore...102-99 if memory serves

ouch...sniff.

 

[ThroughBlue]

Cried after Marquette and Mich St tourney games. Not like a little bitch but I definitely shed a tear or two

 

[UKhoopCat]

1968 Mideast Regional against Ohio State. I was 10 at the time and we lost 82-81. Cried like a baby...but I've been a proud card-holding member of BBN ever since.

 

[FFWhite]

The first time I saw Bret Bearup play and realized that he was all hype and no hope.

 

[kentuckykowboy8]

1995 regional final against UNC. I was 12. I had trouble breathing I was crying so hard. My parents told me if I ever cried again after a loss, I'd never be allowed to watch any more games. That dried me up real quickly.

 

[wildcatwelder]

'75 loss to UCLA, I was 13. '92 loss to Puke. That one hurt badly.

1968 Mideast Regional against Ohio State. I was 10 at the time and we lost 82-81. Cried like a baby...but I've been a proud card-holding member of BBN ever since.

This was the first and only time for me. Alas, Coach Rupp never got his 5th and that was a great opportunity; especially with Lanier going down in the East regional finals.

 

[Indy Cat]

1966. Tex western loss

Never cried over a game but choked up a few times on Senior nite.
The 66 loss to Texas Western left me bummed for weeks.

 

[Nubb16]

1997 I was 7 and I cried.

UAB.... I cried harder on that one. I really loved that team

2010 I cried. I was 20 years old and I cried like a little baby because after sucking for so long I just knew that team was destined.

I cried when we won in 2012 against Kansas

I didn't cry right then but when I got home I had a few tears against Wisconsin. Watched that game with my girlfriend

 

[BlueRunner11]

HS sweet sixteen in 87, Rupp Arena, 7 years old, saw Rex there, finally got up the courage to go ask him for an autograph only to be denied with some rude comments and get my first glimpse of what a POS he really was.

Thankful that these types of situations would never happen with players under Cal.

 

[Dallas-Wild]

Believe it was 1970 when we lost to Jacksonville in NCAA.....Issel gets a bogus 5th foul call.

I was almost 11 and just cried like a baby

 

[Aike]

When I was 8 years old, I hit a 30 footer just after the buzzer that would have been a game winner. I cried when the referee waved it off.

I don't think I've ever cried after a UK game.

 

[WildcatfaninOhio]

Never cried over a game. Closest I came was 92 and "The Shot". Got misty-eyed a couple times watched Senior Night festivities.

 

[Roe07]

I was a month away from my 30th birthday, but I'll admit, I teared up a bit after we beat Wisconsin in '14. Watching those guys celebrate that win on the floor once the horn sounded was awesome. After that I didn't think there was a chance in hell they'd lose to UConn after winning all those games in the tournament the way they had. Unfortunately I was wrong. I've never cried after a loss though. I probably did when I was younger but can't remember. Usually I'm just filled with rage!

1992 verse Duke. I cried when I punched a stop sign after running out of my house. Broke my hand. #truestory

Lol ya, I punched the siding of my house when we lost to WVU in 2010- punched it hard. Idk if I broke it but it was severely "sprained" for a good 4 weeks or so

 

[FrankUnderwood]

I've never cried after a game.

I usually just drank a lot after a bad loss, and then I start crying.

Guilty of that too

 

[FrankUnderwood]

Great responses


I think the one that stings the most and always will, is the whisky game that we lost

So much emotion that season, building up to 40-0... I thought we had it: especially when we went up 4.


That loss still stings if I think about it to much. My buddy was over and we were supposed to drink some beers and have a fire after the game.
As soon as the final whistle blue we kinda just stared at each other awkwardly lol, 5 min small talk then he bounced and went home lol

 

[JL-23]

When gillispie got hired..

 

[BurpinTurpin]

- 1984 Final Four vs Georgetown. I was in my teens. Incredible frustration, we could not hit a shot. And incredible Georgetown thugball, just unbelievable.

- 1992 Duke of course

- 1996 Championship game

- Senior Nights for Reggie Hanson and Joe Crawford

- Unveiling of the Unforgettables banner in the Rafters

- When John Wall did the dance at Big Blue Madness- I knew we were back


Mostly I've raged and shouted and thrown things though. I've calmed down a lot over the years lol

 

[Deli owl]

When I was 9. I was playing football and broke my collar bone.

 

[caneintally]

I was 16 in 97 and I think that was my first time too . I know I did when we lost to Marquette ( still think I took that lose worse then any as I locked myself in my apartment for 3 days and missed college ect and didn't leave) . The Wisconsin in 14 was bad but the thing was I sorta saw that coming as I knew the pressure of being undefeated might break our backs and it did.

I cried tears of joy in 96 , 12 and also when we beat Arkansas in the SEC finals in 95 I believe the year was . After Rhodes missing those freebies to win it in Regualtion I thought we were toast but we pulled it out . Not sure why for that game but the first UK team I got invested in was the 95 team who lost to UNC in the elite 8.

 

[drcats2013]

What a bunch of sissys... lol I cried one time and one time only. When Sparks hit the three against Michigan State. I was 13 at the time and was dying for a final 4 as I was too young to remember the last one.

 

[Jamal Mercer]

Villanova. 87-88. Sweet 16 with Rex Chapman.

That one hurt

 

[wildcatglenn]

UK VS DUKE-1992. I WAS 11 AND DEVASTATED

 

[littlecreek]

7 years old, '75 finals loss to UCLA

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

 

[Codeblue96]

1992 Duke
1997 OT loss to Zona
2014 Wisconsin happy tears

 

[usinfantrycat85]

97...and the day we hired BG

 

[megablue]

Loss to Texas Western in 1966 tore me apart. I was 13 years old.

Real mean have tears lol

Mine was against an ASU team that Ky was 100 percent from the ft line that game. The reason i cried was a lady in front of me lost her balance and fell back elbowing me in the nads ,causing snot to fly out my nose. My eyes watered for half an hour.

 

[Wall2Boogie]

This one was very easy it's when my passion escalated to a full blown passionate addiction when this happened. I was 10 years old and I watched the 92 game with puke. I cried like a baby that night and started using cuss words in anger. It took me over a week to get over it and the therapy session really helped(jk about the thearpy) but from the day on my passion grew ever so deep and I will never forget it. I cried myself to sleep that night and a few nights after.
