Social media explodes with news that Michigan football hired Sherrone Moore as head coach

Everyone is going nuts over the news! #GoBlue

It appeared to be a formality; the only question was when, not if.

Though many national pundits put together lists of potential Michigan football head coaches, including LSU‘s Brian Kelly, Kansas’ Lance Leipold, and Kansas State’s Chris Kleiman, there was really only one option for the Wolverines: offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore.

Moore had been groomed by former head coach Jim Harbaugh to replace him once he departed the program, and he enters the head job with a win over Ohio State. He’ll maintain continuity and stability for the national championship-winning program.

Naturally, social media reactions overtook X (formerly Twitter) upon hearing the news of Moore’s promotion. From current and former Michigan players to signees, to media types, there was a wave of positive reactions and celebration that Moore ended up being the man for the job.

Commanders’ Twitter reacts to Cowboys’ playoff loss to Packers

The Packers blew out the Cowboys in Sunday’s NFC wild-card round. How did Twitter react?

The Green Bay Packers embarrassed the Dallas Cowboys 48-32 in Sunday’s NFC wild-card round to send the second-seeded Cowboys home early. It was Dallas’ first home loss of the season.

The loss had social media buzzing about the future of head coach Mike McCarthy. While McCarthy is 67-42 with two NFC East championships in four seasons as head coach of the Cowboys, he’s also 1-3 in the playoffs. And, well, you never know with owner Jerry Jones.

Meanwhile, fans of the Washington Commanders were certainly enjoying Sunday’s festivities at Jerry World. Not only did the Cowboys sweep the 4-13 Commanders in the 2023 regular season, but it was the 45-10 loss to Dallas on Thanksgiving Day that fans remember the most.

After the Cowboys blew the game open in the fourth quarter, quarterback Dak Prescott and others were seen on the sideline eating turkey legs. Washington fans were more upset than the players, who didn’t seem to take care all that much that they were thoroughly embarrassed.

On Sunday, Commanders’ Twitter was enjoying the moment.

Here are some of the best reactions from fans, media and more.

Social media reacts to the Oklahoma Sooners loss to the Kansas Jayhawks

Social media reacts to the Oklahoma Sooners 78-66 loss to the Kansas Jayhawks in Allen Fieldhouse

It was an all too familiar feeling as the second half played out and the Oklahoma Sooners finished on the wrong end of another game inside Allen Fieldhouse.

The Kansas Jayhawks made the right adjustments to take the Sooners out of their game in the second half. Turnovers killed Oklahoma’s efforts once again and they couldn’t shoot themselves back into the game when it came to crunch time.

Still, this is just Oklahoma’s third loss on the season. They’ve lost to two top-10 opponents and a TCU team that was able to hang with Kansas to a two-point loss just a week ago.

Oklahoma is a good team, but they’ll have to figure out how to get some wins on the road in a Big 12 conference that isn’t going to give the Sooners anything.

After being down by just one at halftime, this loss is a tough one. However, there’s a lot of basketball left to be played down this season to put Oklahoma in a favorable position to make the NCAA tournament with a top-eight seed in March Madness.

Here’s a look at how social media reacted to the Sooners’ loss to Kansas.

Twitter reacts to Commanders hiring Adam Peters as GM

It’s overwhelmingly positive for the Commanders.

The Washington Commanders began their search for a new head of football operations on Monday. On Friday, Washington hired its top target, San Francisco 49ers assistant GM Adam Peters.

Peters was widely considered the most coveted GM candidate on the market, with many finding it difficult to believe he’d leave San Francisco. Over the past two years, Peters has turned down multiple opportunities to interview.

Why Washington?

It’s a new day. Does anyone believe Peters even picks up the phone if Daniel Snyder called for an interview? New owner Josh Harris and his ownership group quickly identified Peters as their top target and closed on him within the week. With Peters in place, Washington will now turn its attention to finding a head coach.

How is social media reacting to the hiring of Peters? Unsurprisingly, it’s mostly all positive. We say mostly because, well, some people are never happy.

Here are the latest Twitter/X reactions.

Twitter reacts to the end of the Commanders’ season

Twitter reacts to Rivera’s final game, Forbes, McLaurin, the future and more.

The 2023 NFL season is over for the Washington Commanders. One that began with such promise and a 2-0 record ends with a 4-13 mark and eight consecutive losses.

The Dallas Cowboys defeated the Commanders 38-10 on Sunday at FedEx Field in what looked like a home game for Dallas. Washington announced a sellout on Saturday, but most knew Sunday’s game would be a sea of blue.

The loss is expected to be the final game of the Ron Rivera era. Rivera will finish his time in Washington with a 26-40-1 record and was also the head of football operations.

It was another ugly defeat for the Commanders, but unlike previous ones, fans were looking ahead with promise. Not only did Washington secure the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft, but fans are excited about the prospect of owner Josh Harris hiring a new general manager and head coach.

With the regular season in the books and a critical and exciting offseason ahead, we look back at how Twitter — or X — reacted to Washington’s final game of the 2023 season.

Falcons Twitter trashes Ridder, Smith after loss to Buccaneers

Falcons fans on Twitter trashed Desmond Ridder and Arthur Smith following Sunday’s 29-25 loss to the Bucs

The Atlanta Falcons no longer rule the NFC South following Sunday’s 29-25 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. What started as a painfully slow and sloppy game turned into a thriller late in the fourth quarter.

Despite a record day from Drake London, the Falcons committed some costly mistakes that were too much to overcome. Desmond Ridder threw an interception at the team’s own eight-yard line and the offense gave up a safety later in the second quarter.

After the game, fans on Twitter expressed their displeasure with head coach Arthur Smith‘s play-calling and Ridder’s inconsistent performance.

Social Media Reacts: Sooners quarterback Dillon Gabriel enters the transfer portal

Social Media Reacts to the news that Oklahoma Sooners quarterback Dillon Gabriel is entering the transfer portal.

The opening day of the [autotag]transfer portal[/autotag] has already provided an intriguing surprise. While it was expected that [autotag]Dillon Gabriel[/autotag] would move on from the Oklahoma Sooners after the 2023 season, the thought was he’d take his talents to the NFL.

That very well may happen, but Gabriel’s also going to explore his options at the collegiate level for one more season. He’s entering the transfer portal per multiple reports.

Gabriel shared a heartfelt goodbye on social media, which was flooded with responses thanking the Oklahoma Sooners quarterback.

His two years in Norman will be fondly remembered for helping steady the Sooners’ ship amid the coaching transition. His mentorship of Jackson Arnold and his offseason retreats with the offense set the tone and helped instill the character and identity that Brent Venables wants from his Oklahoma football program.

From his record-setting days to his last-minute comeback against Texas, Dillon Gabriel will forever be a legend in Norman.
