Cheering for the Tennessee Vols can be quite detrimental to your mental health, but in this case, it appears to have ruined a marriage.
Kentucky had not won in Knoxville since 1984 before yesterday’s game and the terrible loss was too much for one Tennessee fan to handle, and his wife apparently became fed up with his reaction.
After the game, a fan called into the Tony Basilio Show in Knoxville to reveal that he threw a beer bottle through his window during the loss, which led to his wife leaving him.
“I’ve been watching Tennessee football for 30 years and I did something today that I’ve never done,” the man confessed. “I messed up, threw a beer bottle through my window and my wife left me.”
“Yeah, and I don’t even drink, I had two beers,” he said. “I wasn’t even drunk, I just, I can’t stand to watch this team anymore. I can’t do it. My blood pressure’s up, and I’m cool and I’m calm, I don’t get this way.”
“I can’t watch this team anymore,” he said. “I can’t even watch them next week. I can’t watch them the rest of the season. I just can’t watch them anymore.”
