I did it once and I had a gun pulled on me in the parking lot and I had to use my special stare to disarm the unhappy fan."

Pretty much ends the conversation every time...

Good answer.

Sort of like telling a UT fan after the loss to OSU, how come you had no problem with the officiating when you were up 20 points and the Vols could not miss a shot?
