I want to know, specifically, what McElroy had a problem with last night. When was Vitello acting inappropriately during the celebration? Was it high-fiving the fans? Was it hugging his dad? Was it eating the ice? Seriously, what was wrong with anything that he did? I didn’t see any action that deserves criticism.
It is my opinion that people did not like the team’s demeanor in 2022, and relate everything Tennessee to that team from 2 years ago. And honestly, I get it. If I was a rival team, I also would not have liked the antics of the 2022 team - talking smack to the opposing bench, flipping bats, bumping umpires and getting suspended, flipping off the crowd. Yeah, I get it. They were immature and cocky. However, the 2024 team is very different from the 2022 team as far as attitude goes. Some people just won’t realize that, especially when they already have hater glasses on.
Like I said, I kinda get it. I have been like that with other teams/players I have hated. Just remember that greatness always brings hate. Right now we’re the best, and the salt is saturated with opposing fans.
