Talk about a reputation! The NEBRASKA REACTS survey just dropped its results, and in the eyes of Huskers fans, anyway, Notre Dame fans snagged the top spot as this year’s “Twitter Crash-Out Kings.” Seriously, if you’ve been on social media at all, you know exactly what they’re talking about, because the Fighting Irish faithful have been *loud* about their team.
The Tantrum Heard Round The Internet
It’s all stemming from the 2025-26 College Football Playoff situation, where Notre Dame didn’t get their way for what feels like the first time ever. Despite being deemed the least deserving of the fringe teams in the CFP conversation, the fans absolutely lost it. Because hey, they are Notre Dame, dammit! And they certainly let everyone know it, taking to social media, angry and often. They were out there attempting to pluck odd game comparisons, anything to ignore the actual big picture. It was like they were desperately trying to show how they had been wronged in legendary ways, promising that all would pay as they proved their dominance. They even showcased a slew of hypothetical victories they would have racked up in the 2025-6 CFP, *if only* they had been let in. And the wildest part? While *they* saw opting out of a bowl game as a noble protest, Husker fans, and honestly, the overwhelming majority of those outside South Bend, saw something totally different.
Texas Tech Couldn’t Even Win At Being Unhinged
Now, the competition for this dubious crown was pretty stiff. Their opponent in the poll was the Texas Tech Red Raiders fandom. Remember the whole Brendan Sorsby situation? Their guy attempted to circumvent an NCAA ban for gambling on games in which his *own* team participated. They threw everything at it trying to get that ban overturned: first, Sorsby entering rehab after he got busted; then, taking it to the courts; and finally, bringing in blowhard threats from their “Big Daddy Big Bucks” booster Cody Campbell and Texas AG Ken Paxton. That was the order of operations, remember? But just like they completely ran away after the Big 12 and NCAA called their bluff on all those wild threats, Texas Tech fans took the “L” in this poll too. They couldn’t even manage to be the best at being weird and unhinged. That’s gotta sting.
So yeah, congrats, Domer fans! You officially wear the crown. Honestly, I always thought Huskerland’s Notre Dame fans might stand a little taller for the green and gold, but at the end of the day, throwing a tantrum and quitting? That just doesn’t earn you much respect outside of the South Bend campus. It really doesn’t. So, if you’re feeling down about being called out like this, maybe just kick back and stream *Rudy*. That movie’s a banger, one of the finest screen works of sports fiction ever. Go enjoy some fictional glory, because that real-world meltdown was something else.
