College Football Teams Bring the Heat with Savvy Social Media Jabs
As conference play heats up, college football teams are taking their trash talk to the next level on social media. This week, several teams showcased their wit and creativity with clever postgame jabs at their opponents.
The Navy Midshipmen, off to a hot 4-0 start, poked fun at the UAB Blazers with a graphic comparing their respective mascots. The image featured a towering battleship looming over a dragon lying on the beach, leaving no doubt about which team came out on top.
Meanwhile, the TCU Horned Frogs bounced back from a tough loss last week with a 38-27 win over the Kansas Jayhawks. Their social media team paid homage to Kansas’ famous “Rock Chalk, Jayhawk” chant with a witty caption, proclaiming they had “rocked the jayhawks!”
James Madison kept its high-scoring momentum rolling with a 63-7 thrashing of Ball State. The Dukes trolled their opponents with a clever caption, saying they had “Balled Out.” Quarterback Alonza Barnett III threw for 280 yards and five scores in the victory.
UNLV stayed undefeated with a 59-14 win over Fresno State, and their social media team referenced their standing in the Mountain West conference with a postgame caption, declaring themselves “MOUNTAIN BEST.”
Finally, the Duke Blue Devils picked up a major rivalry win over North Carolina, coming back from a 20-0 deficit to secure a 21-20 victory. Duke’s social media team had a jab ready, parodying the movie “Silence of the Lambs” in a reference to UNC’s ram mascot, Rameses.
