Tweets of the Game: Tennessee


The Alabama football team seemed more excited than ever after blowing out rival Tennessee last Saturday – and proved it on Twitter.
The Alabama football team seemed more excited than ever after blowing out rival Tennessee last Saturday. Many took to Twitter after the game and posted celebratory cigar pictures. Some sent shoutouts to teammates, and others weren’t quite satisfied. Let’s start from the beginning.
Before the game
Tennessee freshman tight end Devante Brooks was confident after UT’s miracle win over Georgia. So confident that he tweeted out “Bama game will be the exact same.” After the tweet gained attention, Devante deleted it. Luckily some guy named Johnny quoted him and sent it out.
Oh RT @_DevanteBrooks: @MichaelOgg ????????. Bama game will be the exact same????????

Devante wasn’t the only one with false hope.
One Tennessee fan even painted his father’s grave in orange and white checkerboard.

On the Alabama end of things, Gehrig Dieter’s dad, Derek, joined the Vol Navy and added some crimson to it.

I’m imagining this is the same fan that got this response from Lane Kiffin before kickoff.
A couple of former Crimson Tide greats were excited for the rivalry game.

After Ronnie Harrison took yet another defensive touchdown to the house, Twitter reacted.
But all their players are overrated as recruits, per every other fan base. https://t.co/GitxkmiqNq
