In the SEC, it just means more.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), who helmed four college football programs before turning to politics, roasted Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz Friday over his latest pigskin faux pas.
Walz, 60, took to X in an attempt to fire Democrats up as early voting in several states winds down.
“Huddle up, team. It’s the final quarter,” wrote the former defensive coordinator at Mankato West High School. “We’ve got the ball and we’re driving down field [sic]. And boy, do we have the team to win this.”
“We call it the 4th Quarter, ‘Coach’,” snarked Tuberville, who compiled a record of 159-99 at Ole Miss, Auburn, Texas Tech and Cincinnati between 1995 and 2016.
Others jumped in on the Minnesota governor.
“This is just the kind of post an unpaid volunteer assistant coach would come up with. Which social media intern wrote this for you? They’ve captured your voice exactly,” Trump adviser Tim Murtaugh said.
Columnist Phil Kerpen wrote: “Why did you say ‘I was the football coach at Mankato West’ when you were only a volunteer assistant?”
“It’s like every football tweet was written by an Australian AI,” chimed in Daily Wire founder and podcaster Ben Shapiro.
“Coach” Walz had been flambéed for his apparently lack of football knowledge days earlier, after livestreaming himself playing the “Madden” NFL video game series with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and then proclaiming that the Bronx and Queens rep “run a mean pick 6.”
Walz’s X account scrubbed the post, but conservatives jumped on the fumble before it was gone from the internet.
“This was a real deleted tweet from alleged football coach Tampon Tim. ‘Can run a mean pick 6’ Lmfao,” commentator Greg Price wrote on X.
“Tampon Tim is such a dork. You’d think a so-called football coach would be aware that you don’t run a pick 6!” the official Trump “War Room” account wrote.
