Social Media Reacts to OSU’s Homecoming Upset of Texas

The Cowboys pulled off the upset for Homecoming, downing the No. 6 Longhorns 38-35.  There was a lot to digest and react to and Twitter was abuzz (much to Mike Gundy’s disdain).

There was the Pokes’ early lead, the attempted UT comeback and then the heroic bounceback performance by Taylor Cornelius. Then there was the crazy exchange between Gundy and Tom Herman.

Here’s best of what came across my timeline.

And you enjoy your day Monday big brother when the @buffalobills retire your number… but a nice win for our #Pokes tonight. https://t.co/C3sFbEg4Ai

TC played horrible against K State and Texas Tech, and had 5 total TDs vs the top 2 defenses in the league in UT and ISU. CFB is fun and always unpredictable.

Taylor Cornelius had himself quite the game with five total scores and at least that many game-saving heroic plays.

No more corn dog slander on my timeline for the rest of the season.

Taylor Cornelius deserve the throne under the neon palms where Weeden, Zac, Chelf & Gundy once sat. #okstate pic.twitter.com/kKQXbYB8tj

With the game all but over, Texas DE Breckyn Hager made a point to take out his frustrations on Tyron Johnson after Cornelius took a knee and the play had been called dead. The ensuing exchange between players and coaches probably deserves its own social media reaction post.

Tyron Johnson should’ve been assigned to block that fool all night hahaha

Who would win a fight between Tom Herman and Mike Gundy? (Best answers revealed on Monday podcast)

— Dan Wetzel (@DanWetzel) October 28, 2018

TO BE CLEAR: Mike Gundy would thrash Herman all the way back to Austin.

Gundy just went full Gladiator as Tom Herman lost his mind!

— Carson Cunningham (@KOCOCarson) October 28, 2018

Tom Herman: still thin-skinned and irritable.
