TV/radio personality Bobby Bones is a die-hard Arkansas Razorbacks fan. 

So it's no surprise that Bones, who grew up in Arkansas, has a little extra pep in his step this week after the Razorbacks' big win against the Tennessee Vols this past weekend. 

On Thursday, Bones clapped back at a Tennessee fan who talked some trash to the Nashville-based host because of the field-storming that took place at Arkansas after the win against the Vols. 

The fan suggested to Bones that it was a bad look for Arkansas to storm the field and tear down the goal posts after beating Tennessee. 

"Definitely a good reminder that Arkansas is inferior to TN so much so that they tear the goal post down after beating them," wrote the fan on Twitter/X.com. 

Bones was quick to remind the fan that Arkansas won four in a row against Tennessee (and five of the last six). 

"We’ve beat you 4 in a row and 5 out of the last 6," wrote Bones. "Respect to Vols fans. But don’t come here [with] that garbage."

I've gotta side with Bones on this one. That was a great win for the Razorbacks, especially after a couple of close losses earlier this season. And when it comes to tearing down the goal posts, that probably had more do with Tennessee being ranked No. 4 than just simply beating the Vols. Anytime an unranked team beats a top five team, it's a pretty big deal (especially since the Vols were a two touchdown favorite). 

That was a joyous moment for Arkansas fans. And there's no sense in anyone throwing shade at Razorbacks fans for fully embracing that moment. 

Tennessee fans should know that as well as anyone after the epic field storming at Neyland in 2022 when the Vols beat No. 3 Alabama (and let's not compare moments…it was big for Tennessee in 2022 and it's big for Arkansas in 2024). 

This is a good time to point that out spreading joy is a lot more fulfilling than spreading negativity.
