Tennessee fan ships ultimate burger troll to Dabo Swinney, shows receipts

Tennessee fans have a long memory, and are not above a petty move like trolling an opposing coach with a shipment of burgers, for example.
That’s exactly what one Vol fan did for Clemson coach Dabo Swinney, who memorably called out Tennessee for likely getting set to start “flipping burgers,” with 2 games to go.
“When you’re in Tennessee’s position, and they’re like, ‘OK, we beat South Carolina, we beat Vandy,’ and they’re in the playoffs. They’re flipping burgers at the house, having a cold drink watching the championship weekend, ‘What are we? Are we 3 or 4? Where are we going? Are we in Arizona or are we in Atlanta?’ And the next thing you know, you forget you’ve gotta go play.”
Swinney attempted to walk back those comments, and said it was a classic example of people hearing what they wanted to hear, and he tried to pay Tennessee a compliment. But that didn’t stop a Vol fan from sending Swinney 24 6-ounce burgers via FedEx from Omaha Steaks.
The Vols knocked off Clemson 31-14 last week in the Orange Bowl.
