When it comes to college football Twitter accounts and their troll game, Citadel may not be the best but it certainly doesn’t take long to call roll.
Last month, the FCS program traveled to Tuscaloosa to face top-ranked Alabama. In the previous two games, Alabama had pitched shutouts against both LSU (29-0) and Mississippi State (24-0); in its game against the Crimson Tide, the Bulldogs scored a second-quarter touchdown, a fact that they gleefully pointed out on Twitter while also reminding the Tide’s two previous foes that “it isn’t that hard guys.”
WE SCORED. 🏈🏈

In that same game, Citadel held mighty Alabama to seven first-quarter points. Fast-forward a month and a half, and Oklahoma allowed 21 first-quarter points in its College Football Playoff semifinal matchup with Alabama Saturday night in the Orange Bowl.
Of course, the Citadel football Twitter account quickly chimed in on that development as well.
.@AlabamaFTBL First Quarter points vs. The Citadel - 7 @AlabamaFTBL First Quarter points vs. @OU_Football - 21.

In the Citadel-Alabama game, the teams were tied 10-all at the half. At halftime of the Oklahoma-Alabama game, the Tide holds a seemingly comfortable 31-10 lead.
Color us surprised, and exceedingly disappointed, that Citadel’s Twitter account has yet to trumpet that fact.
