884553 Every fan base has its trolls. We know them well here at KSR. While most of us just ignore them and wait for them to slither back beneath their bridge, Vanderbilt offensive line/run game coordinator Herb Hand took action. Hand received some offensive tweets about his wife from a Tennessee fan, and replied to them with the following message:
"Feel free to come by anytime so we can talk about this in person like men. ...You are welcome to come to my office so we can discuss this face to face...I fully welcome the opportunity."
He also copied the tweet into a text message and sent it to Tennessee head coach Butch Jones. Here's a screencap (warning: salty and somewhat blurred language ahead): herbhandtext Hand has since deleted the tweets from his feed, but posted this message to his followers this morning: BKzCIqjCcAA_2L1.jpg_large Some will say that Hand went too far and should have just ignored the tweets, but I applaud him for calling the guy out. Next time you guys get unruly in the comments section, maybe we'll have him pay you a little visit.
