Happy Jimbo Fisher overreaction season! Texas A&M is fresh off their Maroon and White Spring Game last Saturday, marking an end to a highly productive spring football season ahead of the pivotal 2023 campaign.

In a game that saw the White team defeat the Maroon squad 33-19 behind quarterback Max Johnson’s three touchdown passes, presumed 2023 starter Conner Weigman also displayed a solid outing for the Maroon, while the program’s more experienced offensive line and defensive line handled their business in the trenches in impressive fashion.

Overall, it was a great start to what hopefully should translate to a rebound season, but before head coach Jimbo Fisher could return behind the media curtain, post-spring presser proved some in the media more fodder for the lull summer months that lie ahead. At the end of the question portion of the press conference, Fisher chided Houston Chronicle writer Brent Zwerneman who was looking to ask the final question, stating

“If it’s the last question it’s gonna be a good question, I don’t need no Houston Chronicle question, give him a quesion, give him a TexAgs question, it’s a better question.”

Fisher was also quick to throw Sports Illustrated under the bus humorously.

“Sports Illustrated now, that ain’t a good one either.”

Within his humorous jab, Fisher winked several times, which basically expressed that he was having a little fun with his many compadres in the media, and if we’re all being honest with ourselves, we’re supposed to have thick skin in this give and take business, so let’s not blow things out of proportion. Well, that wasn’t the case, as reactions ranged from defending Fisher to asking the same old question “How much is his buyout again?” With that, here are the best Twitter reactions after Jimbo Fisher’s post-spring press conference.
