Yes, of course, Texas fans now know that throwing bottles on the field during a game when a call does not go the Longhorns' way is not the right thing to do. They have heard it from the administration, the coaching staff, and even legendary Texas fan Matthew McConaughey, and when McConaughey chimes in, you know it is serious.
The rest of college football is not going to let Texas fans forget about what they did, and it is all starting with Vanderbilt. The Longhorns are set to take on No. 25 Vanderbilt this season, and for the first time in a long time, the Commodores are ranked in the AP Top 25.
Vanderbilt has won some big games this season, earning them their ranking, and the fans are beginning to come out of the woodwork. With fans feeling confident now, that means that trolls feel more confident with what they say.
The Vanderbilt trolls are coming out in full force this week as they hope the Commodores can pull off yet another big upset. After the bottle-throwing incident, one Vanderbilt fan had probably one of the biggest trolls of the year for Longhorn fans.
BREAKING – Vanderbilt has installed temporary netting at FirstBank Stadium ahead of the matchup with Texas.

AD Candice Storey Lee said putting the net in front of the visiting section was precautionary.
Lee also noted the netting may stay for the Tennessee game later this year. pic.twitter.com/479oMW3kEp
Texas fans should find this a little funny because if you can't laugh at it, what else are you going to do? Clearly, this is not true. Vanderbilt did not put a net in front of the visitor's seating area, but you have to admit, this is pretty clever.
While the tweet itself was pretty good, some of the comments were even better.
When Vandy starts trolling SEC teams, you know they’re moving up.

Vanderbilt has always been the little brother of the SEC, and now that they have gotten on a bit of a role this season, they are starting to get confident. When Vandy can start to troll teams, it shows that they truly are playing well.
What an overreaction!This happened one time in the last how many years and to go to this expense is nuts. Now every stadium is probably going to have to do it. Looks like playing in a cage. Ban the fans like Texas did in the future.

Some fans didn't fully understand that this is just a troll, this is a joke, so calm down, guys.
Safety first. Good move by Vandy AD 👍

Safety is always a priority. Being trolled can happen when the fans do something stupid, and the Texas fans, unfortunately, get caught.
