"Take No. 17 Texas, for example, facing off against 2-9 Arkansas. Sure, the Longhorns won 52-37 over a struggling opponent. And sure, Arch Manning had himself a game, throwing for 389 yards and four touchdowns on 18-of-30 passing with a rushing touchdown as well. Texas could have left well enough alone and basked in the victory. The Longhorns decided to get in one more shot on social media, however, reducing the Razorbacks to mere bacon."
"UNLV and Hawai'i play for one of college football's most striking trophies: the Island Showdown Trophy, which features an oversized pineapple on a pedestal. The name pays homage to the fact that Las Vegas is often known as "the Ninth Island" due to the city's popularity among Hawaiian visitors and transplants. After the win, the Rebels opted for a troll that incorporated Las Vegas' nickname, asserting that the "ninth island" was superior to the eight traditional Hawaiian islands."
Several college football programs used social media to taunt opponents after Week 13 games. No. 17 Texas beat 2-9 Arkansas 52-37; Arch Manning threw for 389 yards, four passing touchdowns and added a rushing touchdown, and Texas posted bacon emojis to mock the Razorbacks. UNLV celebrated its Island Showdown Trophy victory over Hawai'i by referencing Las Vegas as the "ninth island" and posting a troll asserting superiority over the eight Hawaiian islands. No. 3 Texas A&M dominated 1-11 Samford, limiting Samford to 77 total yards while gaining 475, and A&M's account posted a mocking "Silly thing" message.
