"Some people think you stink": Notre Dame coach Micah Shrewsberry reveals heated message sent by fan during Georgia Tech game
During Micah Shrewsberry and Notre Dame's game with the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Tuesday, the coach received a heated message from a fan. It stood out to him so much that he revealed the details after the game.
The Fighting Irish secured a 71-68 win, but it took some doing for them to obtain it. Both teams went back and forth dealing blows toward one another, going down the wire until Notre Dame (10-10, 4-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) made the key plays needed to win.
Due to the team's struggles, Shrewsberry got a text message from a Notre Dame fan. Safe to say, the fan didn't like what he or she saw from the team.
“I was walking, grabbing my phone so I don’t have to go back to the locker room," Shrewsberry said. "And I got this text at 10:15. So, obviously, the game is still going on. Whoever sent this, I appreciate you. Thank you for being cool. ‘WTF am I watching? Do you have any plays written up because holy s, your team is unorganized as hell. What are they paying you for?’
“Glad it didn’t have a name attached to it. But that right there, fellas, is a lesson in humility. As good as you feel, some people think you stink.”
