The best social media reactions to No. 3 Texas’ 31-12 win over No. 9 Michigan


The best social media reactions to No. 3 Texas’ 31-12 win over No. 9 Michigan

In front of nearly 112,000 fans at the Big House in Ann Arbor, the No. 3 Texas Longhorns got off to a strong start and dominated the game until a meaningless last-minute touchdown by the No. 10 Michigan Wolverines in a 31-12 victory on Saturday.

Here are some of the best reactions from social media:

Does the former Texas wide receiver hold any resentment for not being able to enroll early at Michigan after committing as a member of the 2021 recruiting class?

Maybe. Or maybe he just commented on the game the way he said he would – exactly.

The perhaps more surprising statement came from former running back Bijan Robinson, who is not exactly known for his bold statements on social media:

Half an hour before Robinson was ready to publicly acknowledge what was going on on the field in Ann Arbor, a Wolverines fan had to make an important confession, perhaps with a certain amount of sarcasm given the team’s three consecutive appearances in the College Football Playoff, culminating in last year’s national championship:

Gary Patterson, former TCU head coach and special assistant to Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian, also commented:

A national commentator had already identified a major imbalance in the game:

At least one Ohio State University fan was ready to jump into the action and met a man from Michigan where it counts – with his esoteric knowledge:

Another referred to the cheating scandals at the school:

There was a play on words:

The Big Blue faithful were able to see their team score a touchdown at the end, but it didn’t matter at all.

Former Baylor quarterback and former ESPN analyst Robert Griffin III turned former Iowa State running back Breece Hall’s 2020 comment about five-star culture versus five-star culture on its head:

And a heavy blow for the Wolverines through the media …

And finally, imagine ranking a Penn State team that beat Bowling Green 34-27 against this Texas team. You don’t even need the benefit of hindsight.
