Notre Dame fans have always had a love/hate relationship with senior quarterback Tommy Rees. While he’s stepped up and saved the Irish on numerous occasions (think 2012 here), he’s also had his share of turnover-laden performances. Yesterday’s game against Oklahoma was a tough go for Rees, as he completed just 9 of 24 passes along with two touchdowns and three interceptions in a loss to the Sooners. To put it mildly, Irish supporters have been letting him know just how disappointed they really are.
Since the start of yesterday’s game, Tommy Rees’ Twitter mentions have been absolutely brutal, as fans (and hecklers) have been lining up to take their shots at the much-maligned signal-caller. Below is just a portion of what’s been sent to Rees. We didn’t even include tweets with obscene language, of which there are dozens.
@t_rees11 you are literally the worst thing that has ever happened to Notre Dame

If USC can fire it’s coach at this point of season @CoachBrianKelly can surely bench @t_rees11 and finally move program forward.
— StepanOut (@StepanOut) September 29, 2013
How’s it feel to be an Honorary sooner @t_rees11 ? You scored two touchdowns for them!

@t_rees11 Way to go Rees!! You lost the game for us. You take away the 21 points you handed over to them, we would of won! This is all on u!
— Kyla Te’o (@OrangeChic1196) September 28, 2013
Does Rees deserve to be criticized for some of the decision making he displayed yesterday? Sure. Does he deserve hundreds/thousands of people tweeting obscenities or insults at him? Probably not.
