Twitter hates poor Blake O’Neill

Blake O’Neill was on cloud nine in the first half.

He boomed an 80-yard punt to the Michigan State 1-yard line. It was arguably the greatest punt of all time. The punt was two short of the 82-yard record. It doesn’t get better for the punter.

Then, the worst possible thing of all time happened to O’Neill. All he had to do was punt the ball away in the final 10 seconds and Michigan pulls off a monumental win against Michigan State. But he fumbled the snap and Michigan State scored on a play that will live in infamy in Ann Arbor.

Naturally, the trolls came out and ripped O’Neill.

For the record, while there were tons and tons of people that ripped apart the Michigan punter, there were also plenty that came to his side.
