Florida basketball Twitter account hilariously trolls Tennessee over McDonald's recruiting violations rumors
The Tennessee football program is in the news this week after coach Jeremy Pruitt was fired amid allegations of many recruiting violations.
Among them? Radio host Dan Patrick said he’d heard the Vols were handing money to recruits in McDonald’s bags.
Well, after the Florida men’s basketball team beat Tennessee 75-49 on Tuesday night, the team’s Twitter account brutally trolled the Vols, using the McDonald’s slogan while posting the final score:

It was a huge win for a Florida team that badly needed it. And, the jab at one of their biggest rivals was the icing on the cake.
We’ll see if the Vols can bounce back from this big loss and if the Gators can keep the momentum going moving forward.
Just a harmless little jab. Nice win for the Gators!
Classless cheap shot. That’s what UF has become.
I would say your post was a classless cheap shot, Dawglb.
So you take cheap shots at people when they’re down? That was a Twitter post by UF not some SDS comment. Classless. No defending that. The Mullet clown virus is spreading rapidly at UF.
The dawg spends all day taking cheap shots at others and then cries over this? What a clown.
Dawg, all you do is act like a crybaby. Sniping left and right on every Gator article which is you’re right but a really bad look for you.
They are down by their own cheating. Why should we sympathize with them? They’re cheaters and deserve everyone taking shots at them.
Schools troll each other on Twitter all the time. Maybe your new here, but glad you made it to the party, your brethren will be along shortly to join you.
Individuals from schools troll each other all the time, team pages usually don’t whippy, keep it real.
No schools do troll each other. It was not directed at hurting UT. More so at supporting our players drive to get through an awful team situation. Keyonte going down and in a coma had a tremendous effect on our players. They showed courage and a lot of determination to beat a team that is expecting to be in the final four.
Basketball teams are smaller than football and baseball. Therefore, team unity can be shattered by a star player and leader almost losing his life in front of them. Give these kids a break. I’m proud that my university and alma mater supports them publicly. Gatornation!
The hit on Pitts was the classless cheap shot.
the tears of a clown…nice song
Can’t wait till Daniels meets Diwun Black next year.
If it’s a bang bang no malicious intent play I’ll get over it…unlike G8rWade
Humper, I get what you’re saying. From the Gators perspective it’s Pitts was our best player, which was on a path to scoring at least a couple of touchdowns. Cine wasn’t your key player.
It’s all in the eyes of the beholder. Both sides have a valid point.
Not true at all G8rMarsh…Cine was a huge key component in out secondary after losing LeCounte. And no matter how much you slow down the tape I still see zero malicious intent to take out Pitts, it was two players instinctively acting and reacting.
yeah, this is what school’s and professional sport’s teams’ twitter accounts have become. it’s a stage for some good-natured ribbing. some are funny and some are not. it’s not like stricklin or white did an interview in a hamburgler costume. we’ll hopefully find out soon if all is true that is alleged in k’ville.
as for the shot on pitts. it was unfortunate that he got hurt and missed some time. hopefully he won’t have any recurring effects from the hit, but i didn’t see anything dirty or cheap. it was a bang-bang play across the middle.
You hit the nail on the head. I don’t think people understand the Twitter-scape nowadays. It’s not the official arm of the PR Communications team or anything. It’s a lighthearted scape where teams take all sorts of jabs at one another. If the situations were reversed, I’d fully expect the Vols Twitter handle to post something.
I know you get it, but others need to just lighten up and stop getting defensive over things like this. Learn to laugh at yourselves. This is sports ball.
In essence on this site there’s a group of non-critical thinkers. When the traditional light hearted jabs are thrown its to be expected.
When the over emotional name calling and derogatory statements about one’s family hits that is an infantile thought process and unacceptable
Gators will be in Ktown on feb 10th gonna be fun to watch…. I have this feeling they may not be trolling after that game ask KY
But will there be McDonald’s bags in the visiting locker room waiting on their arrival? :)
Florida is playing in Kuwait City?
How ky basketball has avoided recruiting infractions is beyond me
Because there is nothing to find is the simple answer. Cal has a lot of national/local media that don’t like his persona and have tried hard to find dirt on his recruiting tactics. All have come up with nothing. Perhaps, much like Saban, maybe great players want to play in great programs and for successful coaches who will get them in the league. Go CATS!!!
Coach Cal’s career has been marred by tons of recruiting and NCAA infractions. Look at every program that he has left. All were being investigated. The only difference now is that UK basketball is the golden goose and the UK basketball boosters will go to any extreme monetarily to pad the pockets and cover the arses. I will give him credit for creating a one year pipeline to the NBA. He has gotten creative but there is money involved for sure. Then again that is the name of the game everywhere.
Trolling rival fans is one thing…but the UF team’s Twitter account???
What an absolute classless organization they have become in the swamp…nice to see the university embracing and fully buying into the Mullet ideology…will a size 11 fit into a McDonalds bag without causing a scrum, darth?
Do you know how to have fun in life? Are you a Twitter person at all? This kind of ribbing is typical in tweets. Twitter is the audience you can do this sort of things with and have fun with it. Do you call Wendy’s a trash organization because its Twitter account literally roasts other brands and users? Do the negative, very brash tweets reflect poorly on their other brand channels? Not in the slightest.
You want to know what the marketer behind the UF Twitter handle sees? That it had 8.9K likes and 2K+ replies. That’s exposure. I just looked through the UGA Basketball feed, and the more popular posts had 26 likes and 10 replies. That’s not a troll, it’s to highlight that whoever did this knew their audience and channel, and capitalized.
Sadly today’s world is filled with snowflakes that get their panties in a wad over the stupidest things.
You didn’t answer the question…will a size 11 shoe fit into a McDonalds bag without causing a midfield scrum? For inquiring minds that need to know…
Infatuated UGA fans trolling UF in the UF SDS comments section over UF twitter trolling UT program over recruiting violations and a victory in a basketball game. Haha Can not make this up. We need football to start back up quick like and in a hurry. This site is going in the pooper.
Why is this thread filled with UGA people defending UT, while not a single UT fan has commented yet?
Obsessed with Gatornation. They want desperately to have a program that is of national prominence. Football is their only hope and they know they’ve reached their ceiling with Bangs and now they have to watch our basketball and baseball teams go after more championships.
All the UT fans are at McDonalds, CB, that’s why, next question?
I heard they switched tactics to throw off the NCAA and have began using zaxbys
Based on the topic of the article, when you make a case against what was done, and then follow it up with “Mullet”, “clown”, or some other disparaging remark, you discredit your own argument.
You are correct sir!
one HUGE difference 77G8r…my comments are not linked to nor imply in any way that they are from the official UGa University twitter account…therefore Mullet is indeed a clown…
How much cash will fit into a Zaxby’s bag I wonder…
It’s a fact that zaxbys family meal bag dwarfs McDonalds. The Alabamie folks swear by it.
You…almost…made…a valid argument…and then the comments at the end appear to reveal negative bias. Just like when jurors are picked to judge a case, any revelation of bias gets you disqualified.
Even with a “HUGE” difference, or even if there was a valid point made, the shade of the poster is revealed and it all appears to be fruit of a poisonous tree.
The baby gets thrown out the with the bath water.
Let us be clear, there is no appearance of negative bias. I am clearly biased…you are chasing the wrong ambulance
I made a general statement as there were more than with such comments. Didn’t have to chase anything, surfaced on its own. “Haters gonna hate”.
If everyday all i had was to seek out the Gator SDS board to find some article that i could make some derogatory comment on, i would guess my day is pretty empty. Grown arse men trying to get under the skin of another college fan base, all day long.
You crack me up whippy…lol. Here ya go pal, Abigail’s daughter ain’t no Abby but she’s pretty good at giving advice…threeW’s followed by dotDearabbydotcom
So your saying my choice is to join in on the lunacy of arguing everyday on a keyboard with people i don’t know or read Dear Abigail? I’ll take door number 3 Alex. Whatever’s behind it has to be better.
Door number 3…Macallan 15 yo…nice choice, cheers!
Some UGA fans are so dense. Are you guys mad that UF Twitter page made a light hearted joke about the cheating that UT brought on themself? Lol UGA fans have no problem saying way worse to UT fans
