So Tennessee can talk %*$# during the entire match but if Texas retaliates it’s “classless”? lol Ok…..
I don’t blame Moore for being mad. She’s never beaten Texas and now never will. Plus we’ve knocked her out of the tournament two years in a row. Let her do horns down as much as she wants imo.

It's totallly a good thing volleytalkers are not in charge of their teams' social media. Well, especially me. I love my IDGAF attitude, but there are certain interactions where a little GAF would be more appropriate. As real life reminds me regularly.

on the post Moore commented "stfu texas" with a horns down emoji oneal responded directly to her comment "all love girl. lots of respect for you as a person and player" ive said in other threads im all for some stare downs, I dont LOVE that texas decided to post a picture of oneal screaming across the net staring down Moore, I do think its a little bit disrespectful but not a big deal in the end. thats just my take especially given the circumstances of Tennessee losing a key player to injury. Texas sure is doing a lot of gloating on their page for barely squeaking by. Plus it’s not even like tenn and Texas have some sort of rivalry… like why post a picture of Moore on the ground like that Child, sit down. You would have been happy with Kentucky barely squeaking by

It’s a crushing feeling to be on the losing side. Especially when you know there’s no next year any more. Only one team out of 64 doesn’t feel it. I’m glad it’s Tennessee players experiencing it and not Texas, but it EASILY could have been the other way around. That said I love the social media team’s posts. That’s a great image and I love that they captured and highlighted it. O’Neal looks like a warrior giving a guttural cry after emerging victorious on the field of battle. In the end it’s a zero sum game. For someone to win, someone has to lose, and that’s all there is to it. It’s nothing personal against Tennessee or Moore. They’re the foil for our triumph. Our exaltation. But I don’t blame them if they take it personally. How can you not? But not doing something because you might hurt someone’s feelings is no way to go through life. You shouldn’t be doing things IN ORDER to hurt people’s feelings, but there’s a big distinction between the two. It’s obvious this post is intended to focus on and glorify Texas and O’Neal, not to humiliate Moore. Idgaf either way, not my team not my battle.... "STOOD on business" while Moore is on the floor is obviously pointing at Moore not standing. Don't kid yourself. I don’t feel like I’m kidding myself. Moore is the foil. That’s her only role. The focus is still on O’Neal and Texas as the victors. It’s okay if you don’t see it that way. The social media team is obviously appealing to Texas fans. You’re not the intended audience. And frankly, neither is Moore.

I get that it's hurtful to Moore and feels like salt in the wound.

You are the intended audience and you love the dig at Tennessee. Most fans would, that's why they do it. It isn't that big of a deal but to act like they aren't throwing shade is a weird take.

I really enjoyed watching Moore play at OSU and Tennessee and tbh her comment is making me like her even more 🤣 The post is petty as hell and they definitely could’ve cropped it just a little so her face wasn’t in it to the same effect, so I can appreciate a petty response. That’s gotta be a frustrating way to end your college career.

It’s obvious this post is intended to focus on and glorify Texas and O’Neal, not to humiliate Moore. see I just dont really buy that, I think if the sole reason for the post was to glorify oneal, they wouldn't have kept the entire image of Moore on the ground that takes up just as much space in the photo as oneal does. they intentionally kept the shot of Moore on the ground in there. like I said, I really dont care too much, but I still think its disrespectful to Moore. a 5th year player who just ended her career after a dog fight against a powerhouse program and then next morning there's a picture of her on the ground, clearly frustrated with herself, getting screamed at posted to the opposing teams social media with over 300k followers. this has NOTHING to do with oneal and everything to do with the person who posted it. just like the all sky no sun post from a while ago, I just think its distasteful. enjoy the win without taking a shot at the opponent like every single other programs social media does. I agree with you that it doesnt have any effect on anything important, but it does come across a bit disrespectful imo and my opinion won't be changed on that. I would say the exact same thing if kentucky, louisville, or stanford made posts like that - but they along with pretty much everyone else dont ever post stuff like that Who is trying to change your opinion? I’m hearing you out and telling you why I’m indifferent to that perspective. The core of the photo’s power is the juxtaposition of O’Neal and Moore. It’s like the famous Muhammad Ali photo. There’s a primal celebration of being the victor that doesn’t have the same meaning without the vanquished. But it’s still not really about Moore. She simply happens to be the person on the other side of the equation. Which isn’t meant to make her feel better. But the focus isn’t about making her feel bad. The fact your sympathies lie with her is fine. Mine do not. It’s a great picture and it encapsulates my feelings as a fan watching that match. Since I’m more the intended audience than you are, I’d say the photo is a sterling success. You being disturbed by it is your prerogative, but you root against Texas every chance you get, so it’s not like we were about to make you a convert but now we’ve lost our chance. Allow this to cement your feelings about the program even further. It’s not going to bother me. But it also doesn’t make your point of view the correct one. It simply means its your’s. Which, obviously, you’re perfectly entitled to. Here’s a link to the pic I was referencing: a.1stdibscdn.com/archivesE/upload/a_508/1468592157749/001292890_master.jpg

This is gonna make our games against them more intense. New rivalry? They’ll have to beat us first. We’re going to have plenty of new rivalries. Tennessee can wait in line. We’re going to quickly become the most hated program in the SEC, and I’m not talking about volleyball here.
