This time it was at the Swamp, and it was definitely crazy. My sister goes to UF (don't ask, my mom is a UT alum and beside herself) and got my mom and me tix for the game. One problem, in the middle of the UF student section. There was no outright cheering going on (we probably would have been killed...I'm sure you've heard the stories about the fans.), but it was still very awesome. After the game we went over to the UT section. The band stayed and kept on playing for like 30 minutes and all the fans waited for the players to come back out.
I definitely wouldn't have given up being there to see UT win in the Swamp for the first time since 1971 for anything in the world
I know what you mean about getting excited. You don't want to be at my house any weekend during football season unless you REALLY get into football...
