People are mad online about Ole Miss QB Shea Patterson

Or “how dare Ole Miss let him wear No. 20.”

NCAA Football: Mississippi at Texas A&M — “Givin’ the thumbs up to the DANG PC BEAR?!”

Last night, the Ole Miss rebels overcame a 21-6 deficit at the start of the fourth quarter to win 29-28 against No. 8 Texas A&M in College Station. To call it a remarkable comeback does not give it the proper weight, as the Rebels pulled it off with a stunning second half performance from true freshman quarterback Shea Patterson, who was once recruited as the top high school player at his position. Patterson, who was to be redshirted this season, was thrust into action this week after a knee injury to starting quarterback Chad Kelly and performed well beyond even the most optimistic of expectations Rebel fans had of him.

Being that this marked an occurrence where something good happened to the Ole Miss Rebels football program, people got mad about it. And when haters get mad (for whatever reason), they take to Twitter to let us all know just how mad they are. We, in performing a valuable service to our loyal readers, then worked diligently to collect and categorize instances of people getting upset on the net about Ole Miss football. This is the product of that work.

So how were people mad, and at what exactly? Let’s take a look!

People were mad at ESPN

Go ahead and remember the name Shea Patterson because ESPN will be jerking him off for the next 3 or 4 years.

— Bad Hombre02 (@creasybear02) November 13, 2016

Last one...Shoutout to Les Miles for letting Freeze hire Sean Patterson before Shea's senior year. Couldn't have done it without you.

People were mad enough to hope for NCAA intervention into the situation

Patterson looks like Kelly but without the off the field issues. Good for ole miss that they got him. Just better hope NCAA don't come hard

@NCAA are you ever going to look into Ole miss paying Tunsil? #DoYourJob PS they're paying Greg little too
— patrick mcgrade (@patrickmcgrade) November 13, 2016

I'm hoping NCAA takes Ole Miss bowl eligibility away and that Shea decides to transfer. He's gonna have a field day against our defense
— Zach DePriest (@zachdepriest) November 13, 2016

Can the @ncaa come down on Ole Miss sometime soon?

People were upset that Shea Patterson’s jersey number isn’t one normally given to a quarterback

Shea Patterson wearing #20 makes me sick. that isn't a freakin QB number. i'm triggered
— 9/15 - 3/26 (@TKDesignz) November 13, 2016

I need Shea Patterson to change his number. Tripping me out. QBs should only be 1-19.
— Ben Flatt (@benflatt30) November 13, 2016

Why does Shea Patterson wear number 20 as a QB?????
— Dylan Williams (@DWill2k3) November 13, 2016

Someone get Shea Patterson a different number. Can't handle a QB wearing 20
— Clay Ihlo (@ClayIhlo) November 13, 2016

Shea Patterson needs a new number bc 20 looks goofy af
— Jon Lowther (@j_swizzy93) November 13, 2016

For real, a lot of people were bothered by the guy’s number

I think Shea Patterson is pretty solid talent but that number 20 looks gross tbh
— Will Stevenson (@DraftMarvel) November 11, 2016

Shea Patterson is the QB of Ole Miss and his number is 20. That cannot happen...
— Adam Clayton (@AdamClayton11) November 13, 2016

Shea Patterson is a QB. He don't look right wearing number 20 #MISSvsTAMU
— C.A.M. Bled$oe (@Cam_B_2Chill) November 13, 2016

Still wondering why Shea Patterson wears number 20 as a quarterback
— Caleb Phillips (@Caleb__Phillips) November 13, 2016

You guys couldn't give Shea Patterson a QB number? 20 looks so awkward.
— Antoneus Johnson (@TonySoSuave) November 13, 2016

No, we don’t get it either

I cannot watch Shea Patterson wear number 20 for the next two years
— Zach Cochran (@FCAZach) November 13, 2016

Shea Patterson is wearing number 20?? Somebody needs to be fired over that.
— whitey nelson (@whiteynelson) November 13, 2016

Oh good Lord, Ole Miss QB Shea Patterson wears the number 20. I guess I have to root for his failure every week now.
— Robert Pike (@Bob_Pike) November 13, 2016

I can't take Shea Patterson seriously if he is going to continue wearing number 20
— Eric Sisson (@ESisson7) November 13, 2016

And lastly, people were mad that their friend got eaten by a garbage can
