The University of Texas has hired former Mississippi State head coach Vic Schaefer and current Mississippi State players shared their reactions on social media.
The most common responses included the broken heart emoji and a desire to cancel 2020.
Before the official announcement, Chris Del Conte, the Longhorns’ Vice President and Athletics Director, tweeted, “Guess who’s coming to the Forty…” along with a photo of the Schaefer family flashing the “Hook ’em Horns” hand signal.
This season, Mississippi State compiled a 27-6 (13-3) record, led by freshman Rickea Jackson’s 15.1 points and 5.1 rebounds and Jessika Carter’s 13 points and 8.7 rebounds. The team will only lose fifth year senior Jordan Danberry.
Sophomore Xaria Wiggins shared Del Conte’s announcement with a facepalm emoji.
