Georgia State masterfully trolls Tennessee with Labor Day ticket package sale
Forget the turnover trash can, the Volunteers found a new way to embarrass their fans following a season opener.
Despite the optimism following an offseason that appeared to show progress on Rocky Top, the Tennessee football program remains a laughing stock in SEC circles following the team’s 38-30 loss in Neyland Stadium on Saturday. The final score of the game wasn’t even indicative of the game, as the Vols added a late touchdown with seconds remaining in the contest to draw within eight points.
Following that disastrous result, Georgia State has set out to capture all the momentum from the program’s biggest win the program’s short history with a Labor Day ticket sale.
Georgia State fans can currently purchase four tickets for the price of $38.30, which is an obvious reference to the score of Saturday’s game.
To add insult to the promotion, the school is using the hashtag UpseT in the below graphic:
It can’t get much lower than this for Tennessee football.
You know I watched the game– everybody is talking about how bad Georgia State is as a team. If they really as bad as people say Tennessee is in trouble because I was thinking they look good not knowing what to expect. In any case I hope Tennessee gets better..
Their QB really impressed me. Calm and composed and made the right calls and reads. Though watching Tennessee’s defense any QB would of looked good. They just half a$$ed it all game except for a few players.
What does GA State have against the Vols? Or are they just as surprised as everyone else they keep bringing it up?
It’s not that they have anything against UT. It is capitalizing on the win and what an embarrassment it is to UT. Much like when App State beat Michigan and the joke was…What does it take to run the lights at Michigan’s stadium? 1-AA (reference to App State)
True. Sad thing is, I watched a lot of teams play Saturday, And UT isn’t good enough to beat any of them and that includes the two high school teams I watched…
Lol
Probably the fact that everyone told them that they were going to get destroyed when they went to Neyland. Every Tennessee fan that I know assumed that they would go to Florida 3-0 and would only have a remote challenge with BYU. Teams hear this crap also. That is why they brag and I don’t blame them.
lol what is has been 2 days… us here in the SEC know Tennessee is a has been dead program but it’s still a big deal for a bottom feeding sunbelt team to beat the SEC
You win the game, you win bragging rights, so no problem with them trolling the Vols. GA State’s just trying to generate excitement for their team. It’ll be interesting to look down the road this season and see where the two teams end up. Could Georgia State be the next UCF? Their play looked pretty clean – hard to know if that was entirely out of TN’s ineptitude or just really good play on the part of Ga State.
I pray that the state of Georgia will never produce anything like UCF.
Amen ^
It’s more than likely that GA State is forever a middling Sun Belt Conference team that maybe occasionally makes noise in their conference.
Hats off to GA State for the win against UT. They earned it! UT was out coached on the sidelines, and out played on the field. No excuse for the lack of preparation on UT. I hope this is a wake up call to Pruitt and the coaching staff. The offensive play calling stunk, and the defense didn’t know what the hell was going on. All this comes back to the coaches preparing the team to be ready to play. Get Chaney out of the press box and on the sidelines so he can coach the guys during the game. As far as the defense goes, I’m at a loss how awful they played. Don’t have too much confidence in New DC.
Thank goodness for Tennessee and Missouri for keeping us from being the headliner…but we’re no better.
definitely better than Vols… USCe pissed that one away Saturday….Vols got boat raced by a bottom feeder sunbelt team….Vols will lose to Muschamp again this year, lock
RIP Tennessee Football
