In person vs. TV experience

[TexShoe]

I went to Knoxville last weekend.  We had great seats. Outside some harmless horns down silliness, we were treated very by Tennessee fans.  I simply had a marvelous time.  In fact, I was so happy and proud after the game I didn't want to leave the stadium.  I stayed in my seat just basking for an extra 20 minutes watching grumpy Tennessee fans leave.  

I rewatched the game Tues night at home, expecting to relive the same utter euphoria, but came away with a totally opposite experience.  I was pissed, just seething over the same game that I was so happy to watch in person. 

This day in age, you see so much on tv than in person, but I never expected to come away having a totally different opinion of the game than just 3 days ago.  Anyone else experience this before?

Being in the crowd lets the result carry the whole day, while the replay turns every missed call and blown chance into a close-up. Same win, completely different nerve level.

This tracks. It's a lot of effort to attend a game these days living in Houston. Not taking kids (6 and 😎 so not many opportunities. Went to tOSU game. Felt like we were down 40 at half but just happy to be in the stadium. Last week against Tenn watching on television felt way more stressful.

My kids grew up at the tailgate and DKR. I live in Houston too. I've missed like one home game in 30 years.

Same. Had a great visit, first time in Knoxville, everything was great. There was certainly some stress around the end of the game, but it always felt like we were the better team and winning the day.
I was shocked (not really pissed?) when I logged on here, and to a lesser degree when I rewatched the broadcast, to the point I actually turned it off after a bit as I didn't want my live experience diminished. Like you, we sat for another 20 mins after the eyes just a great day and great game day experience.
Similarly, last year at Ohio State, the game felt MUCH closer live in person than the feeling you got here or on rewatch...
We generally do one road and one home game a year now that we live so far (PNW) and even though you miss a lot of detail, I strongly prefer the live experience.
