The Citadel Bulldogs entered Saturday’s matchup against the Alabama Crimson Tide as massive underdogs, but even if they can’t pull off the upset, they’re still going to have some fun during the game.
Well, at least the team’s Twitter account is.
The Citadel wasted no time in showing off its sense of humor:
The Citadel Football @CitadelFootball
The Head Coach is here!
oh & Nick Saban too.

But it didn’t stop there:
The Citadel Football @CitadelFootball
WE BEAT BAMA.
Coin toss. Our ball.

When the Bulldogs found the end zone in the opening minutes of the second quarter, it marked the first points the Crimson Tide defense had surrendered in the month of November. Alabama had shut out two ranked opponents, No. 3 LSU and No. 16 Mississippi State, and had not been scored on since the third quarter of an Oct. 20 clash against Tennessee, snapping a 170-minute shutout streak.
That’s when the Twitter account decided to really throw some shade:
The Citadel Football @CitadelFootball
WE SCORED. 🏈🏈
Touchdown Smith.
@LSUfootball
@HailStateFB
It isn’t that hard guys.
Q2: 11:42
‘Dogs: 7 – Tide: 7

UMBC Athletics followed the action and showed respect for Citadel’s Twitter game:
If the Bulldogs can find a way to notch the stunning upset, that Twitter account is going to be a must-follow.
