Jared Lorenzen is really unhappy with Steve Spurrier and his comments about the Gamecocks' upcoming game with Kentucky.
RT spurrier: kentucky “has athletes now. they’re not the same slow team they used to be.”” God I hate that man. #ballcoach

The "Hefty Lefty," as he is known, (currently listed at 6'4" and 320 pounds) was a quarterback for the Wildcats from 2000 to 2003. That was in response to this tweet:

However, there are several issues with this tweet that are quite funny. First of all, he re-tweeted incorrectly. As a result, no one could see Spurrier's initial remark, which was a compliment. Lorenzen may have been living under a rock for the last decade because there is no way he is going to argue that UK had great teams during his time in Lexington. The Wildcats were flat-out bad except in 2002, when the team went 7-5, but couldn't go to a bowl game because it was on NCAA probation.
Lorenzen just got caught in a classic case of Spurrier trolling. Spurrier did it at Florida and he's still doing it at South Carolina. Sometimes you have to be the bigger man, Jared.
