The Tennessee Vols will travel to Columbus on December 21 to take on the Ohio State Buckeyes in the first round of the College Football Playoff.
Unsurprisingly, there's been plenty of back and forth between Tennessee fans and Ohio State fans on social media in the days since the playoff matchup between the two programs was announced.
One well-known Ohio State fan — Barstool Tate from Barstool Sports — took to Twitter/X.com this week to throw some shade at Tennessee.
Specifically, Barstool Tate took aim at Vols defensive back Andre Turrentine, a former Buckeyes defender who left Columbus for Knoxville after the 2021 season.
Turrentine said earlier this week that he doesn’t believe Ohio Stadium is as loud as SEC venues, though he acknowledged the Horseshoe’s elite atmosphere, stating, "I would say that the SEC is a little bit louder, but the Shoe brings it as well".
Barstool Tate tweeted out a video where he disparages Turrentine and Vols fans over the comment about the loudness of the Horseshoe.
It didn't take long for Twitter users to attach a community note to Barstool Tate's tweet that noted that the noise record for a college football game was set at Neyland Stadium in 2023 during a game between Tennessee and Georgia.
I think we have to give that round to Tennessee fans, though Barstool Tate added nice touch with the megaphone at the end of his video.
Anyway, I'm not sure why we keep debating the loudest stadiums in the sport. There are numerous venues — LSU, South Carolina, Penn State, Georgia, Clemson, Texas A&M, Tennessee, Ohio State, Michigan, etc — that when they're at their loudest, it's impossible to hear on the field. Trying to prove which one is consistently the loudest is an impossible (and pointless) task.
The Vols know it's going to be loud in Columbus and that it's going to make communication a challenge. That's really all that will matter on December 21.

That wouldn’t be good for the Vols
