How Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs defended Tennessee fans on Barstool Sports show
Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs came to the defense of Tennessee fans on a popular Barstool Sports show, disagreeing with the notion that Vols fans are unpleasant to deal with.
A WWE hall-of-famer known by his ring name Kane, most of Jacobs' conversation with "Mostly Sports" hosts Brandon Walker and Mark **** us focused on his wrestling career. But when Walker turned the conversation to his opinion of Tennessee fans, calling them “overtly obnoxious," Jacobs disagreed.
“No we’re not,” Jacobs said. “We’re very nice. Have you ever been to Alabama or Gainesville?”
Walker called back on his experience at Tennessee’s home football game against Ole Miss in 2021, when Lane Kiffin returned to Neyland Stadium as the Rebels’ coach after spurning Tennessee for Southern Cal in 2010 after just one with the Vols. Kiffin was infamously pelted in the leg by a yellow golf ball.
“And these are the fans you’re telling me aren’t obnoxious. The ones that were throwing golf **** ,” Walker said.
