Tennessee is the butt of the ultimate transfer portal joke on social media
Published:
Tennessee had an absolutely atrocious start to its 2019 season.
The Volunteers were favored to defeat Georgia State by 26 points at some places and ended up losing 38-30. It was a complete and utter embarrassment.

To switch topics for a moment, college quarterbacks seem to be transferring left and right. When they lose out on a job at one school, they seemingly transfer immediately after. Sometimes it takes only a day.
On Twitter after Tennessee’s humiliating loss, a joke was made about the Volunteers’ mascot, Smokey the dog:

Oh, Tennessee suffered an atrocious defeat? See ya later, Smokey!
This is hilarious and all in good fun, of course. A mascot wouldn’t dare enter the transfer portal…
Would it?
