Angry Tennessee fan holding a boot goes viral during Alabama game

Tennessee fans have generated as much chatter in recent Volunteer games as the UT players on the field.

This year’s “Third Saturday in October” game is in Tuscaloosa. One UT fan who made the trip to enemy territory went viral on Twitter thanks to the ESPN cameras.

After an Alabama touchdown, one visiting Vol fan was shown holding up his boot. Unsurprisingly, people on Twitter had questions.

I have so many questions but I feel like getting answers to them would only ruin this moment https://t.co/e122zcnLb3

Stewart Mandel of The Athletic had a fun suggestion: a MegaCast with a crowd cam.

ESPN should start doing MegaCasts where one of the cameras is all-crowd reaction shots. The Tennessee WTF guy just now was tremendous.

If the Vol fan had thrown his boot onto the field, Twitter might have crashed.
