This one is a few days late because the holidays are loaded with time-sucking activities that make it physically impossible to get any actual work done. That being said, the instant Twitter reaction by Penn State to the news that Bill O’Brien was ditching Happy Valley to coach the Houston Texans was just too hilariously belligerent not to share.
So let’s file it under ‘better late than never’ and take a look some of the (likely) drunken tweets I captured on my (definitely) drunken New Year’s Eve. O’Brien’s departure was confirmed by the Texans via Twitter at 11:38 p.m. The immediate reaction from the Nittany Lion faithful was less than friendly towards their departing coach.
Nice job on the hashtag there, Stefanie. #Drunk
Who, exactly, is he referring to? I’m gonna say it’s borderline disrespectful if he’s talking about Joe Paterno.
Concise. I like it.
Less concise, but more accusatory.
Not very surprising given what was being vented on the Twitters.
Bill O’Brien=traitor. Miley Cyrus=awesome sauce.
Lol. I should hope so. Wait…how many children were raped at Penn State by a former assistant coach? I’m thinking they need a better screening/evaluation process in Happy Valley.
Eat your words of ONE team…but WHICH team???
That’s the spirit!
Bill O’Brien is a classless piece of shit, said the guy calling Bill O’Brien a classless piece of shit on Twitter. #ConsiderTheSource
Obviously JB has no grasp on the concept of #IRONY
To be fair, they couldn’t have taken it much worse than the fans.
He showed the sports world that he’s a highly coveted head coach with plenty of options. And plenty of money. #moneyDOEStalk
One of the most reasonable Penn State fans on Earth.
I guess Bill O’Brien could learn a little something about widespread coverups.
Doesn’t sound like Michael Corbo was all that sold on Bill O’Brien to begin with.
There are few things more biting than one’s own words. This one is solid.
Lol. BURN! Juice burned O’Brien and O’Brien burned Penn State.
That’s funny, because it doesn’t remind me of that at all.
A college coach lied about his future intentions?!?! Well I never…
Not sure how firm that timeline is. Sounds like it could be some manufactured drama. Honestly though, what’s the difference?
That’s statistically VERY unlikely, sorry Pat.
I guess. Not your best work, Connor Alford.
#WishfulThinking
Constantly since he accepted the Texans job?
Exactly.
I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed.
Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Let’s not go crazy here. NOBODY has less integrity than Urban Meyer.
Hahahaha. This. So much of this.
*Grateful. Nice sentiment though.
I am disappointed with Bryce’s terrible capitalization and lack of punctuation.
I guess Linda Ashbee doesn’t understand the difference between offensive coordinator and head coach. She’s probably an intern somewhere and walks around like she owns the place.
Solidly biting and excessively mean. Good effort.
Said every Penn State fan ever.
Poor guy.
I enjoyed this one.
You have broken my heart, Mr. Burgundy. You have broken my heart.
Because they have such an exemplary record of doing just that.
Poor Matt Sechrist. He probably believeds it by now.
That’s what the holidays are all about.
U mad bro?
That’s a drunken tweet if I’ve ever seen one.
Obviously let a Texans fan slip in here. Variety is the spice of life.
If he won’t be missed, why is everyone so salty?
When was the last time ANY team lost to the Jags twice in a year? Seriously.
Bad karma! That’s the best you’ve got, Jim Macfadyen? Weak.
