Petty Wars: Xavier Fans Were So Pissed That Sean Miller Left For Texas, They Did The Only Logical Thing And Snatched Up Every Single Twitter Handle He Could Use

We know by now that Sean Miller left for Texas and Xavier hired Richard Pitino. Not exactly shocking, I guess? Some people were surprised Sean Miller left after Xavier brought him back following the whole FBI investigation at Arizona. Also throw in the fact that Xavier beat Texas in the First Four and you have Xavier fans pissed off.

But it's how they handled themselves that's the blog here. They dug into the Big East roots and let the burners take over. They didn't attack Sean Miller. They didn't blast a bunch of hateful messages. Oh no, they had mental warfare. 

They took every single Twitter handle he could possibly use at Texas. Anyone who has a Twitter handle knows how much of a pain in the ass it can be. They made him go with not one but two underscores. The poor social media guy who has to run that for Sean and spend hours looking for when he can change it is a full time job in itself. 

I respect the move. This is what happens when you're at a basketball school. Xavier fans live and die with the program, they don't have football to look forward to, it's basketball and that's it. You brought back one of your own and he left you again. Welcome to the coaching world. But this is how you handle it. You strike back by getting every single Twitter handle. Respect the pettiness.
