🏈 Twitter features the meltdown of Mizzou fans—"This ain't pretty."

[TerryP]

College Football writer Tom Fornelli of CBS Sports has been retweeting the mentions of Missouri kicker Andrew Baggett since he bounced a FG attempt off the upright in 2nd overtime versus South Carolina. This is Twitter and college sports fandom at its worst:

If you're offended by ______, or ______, or perhaps ______, it's time to hit your back button.

Language filter on Twitter versus what people call "my free speech?"

 

[Splittine]

Holy crap.

 

[planomateo]

Uncalled for and embarrassing.

 

[Kirk Van de Graaff]

They better get use to getting beat more, that is one horrible reaction for a fan-base and to boot it wasn't all the kickers fault for missing that field goal, does the phrase "laces out" mean anything? I feel bad for that kicker.

Saw this lurking around on a Mizzou forum...

Conner Shaw is 40/50 with five TD's in the five qtrs he's played against Mizzou.

 

[It Takes Eleven]

Twitter has unleashed message board meltdowns upon an unsuspecting world.

 

[BAMA JAMMA]

Damn I hate it for the guy. Laces out!!!

Spurrier all but sold this soul to win that game.

 

[BamaFan615]

Damn. That's some pretty nasty stuff. I think I'd be off of Twitter instantly.

Sports combined with alcohol will bring the crazies out quicker than anything else.

 

[MissingRing]

What cruelty.

They obviously don't understand that if "the whole team" would have taken care of business in regulation time that the kid wouldn't have been put in that situation and also the snapper and the holder aren't accountable at all.:sarca:

Yeah let's not bust on the rest of Mizzou for giving up 17 unanswered points in regulation, no no it is all the kicker's fault. Yup. Burn him at the stake!!!

Idiots.

They're right on with their complaints...After all, it had to be Baggett's fault that Mizzou let a 17 - 0 lead get away from them in the fourth quarter. :sarca:

 

[rick4bama]

At home leading 17-0 at the beginning of the 4th. It looks to me that the whole defense lets the fans down not the kicker. He also had a kick he misses in the 4th that the laces were out.

 

[JoshB]

Pretty messed up but I seem to recall Cade Foster receiving death threats after the 2011 LSU game, if Im not mistaken.

 

[bamaraider]

Same group of fans who cheered when Matt Cassel got injured last year in the Chiefs game.

Don't let this think that Mizzou fans are classless though. Vast majority of them are pretty classy people and really welcoming. This just looks like a bunch of 12 year olds got on twitter and went full retard.

Alcohol mixed with stupidity and access to the internet are a dangerous concoction.

 

[BrianG1979]

Kickers have the crappiest job there is on the team...constantly have to about how they are not real football players...that is until the team needs those three points...and if they miss they get to deal with those types of people.

 

[Bamabww]

Ouch! Hate it for the whole team.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Imagine if Twitter had been around after the Arkansas game in 2006? It would have been brutal... Hell, Missouri doesn't even take their football seriously.
