Twitter reacts to a wild Texas A&M victory over Tennessee

Just when we thought the 2016 SEC season couldn’t get any crazier, Texas A&M and Tennessee played a game that was every bit as insane as the Vols’ Hail Mary victory at Georgia last week.
Down 35-21 with just over four minutes left in the game, Tennessee fought back to tie it up and watched as the Aggies’ kicker missed a field goal that would have won the game.
In double overtime, however, Tennessee’s luck finally ran out and Texas A&M QB Trevor Knight sealed an Aggies’ victory with a powerful touchdown run.
The game drew quite the reaction on Twitter, as evidenced by these tweets:

With no regard to the laws of science the Vols somehow played their best game and their worst game simultaneously.

Nice win by the Aggies. Just don't start chanting "we want Bama". They might hear you and take it out on us.

No matter who you were rooting for, this guy summed up the game perfectly:
