Hurricanes trash talking Westerkamp, others on Instagram

Imagine the internet trash talk that potentially could have been flying around if the social medias were the big deals in the Michael Irvin, Jimmy Johnson-ish era of the 80s. That would have been real fun to watch.
There was. In 1986 when Miami was #2 and Oklahoma was #1, they came down to the Orange Bowl for a regular season game:

“Hello?”

“Is this Boz?” Bratton asked.

“Yeah …”

“Well, this is Melvin f—–‘ Bratton and Alonzo Highsmith, and this is your f—— wake-up call, m—–f—–! And at high noon we’ll see your sorry a$$ in the Orange Bowl and we’re gonna kick your f—— a$$!”

As soon as Bosworth hung up, Bratton and Highsmith told Hurricane defensive lineman Jerome Brown of the “exchange.” Brown summoned the entire defense to his dorm room, from which they called the hotel and asked to be connected to Sooners quarterback Jamelle Holieway. “Ja-may-al, come out and paaa-lay-yay,” Brown taunted, “Come on out, Ja-may-al.”

When he later learned of the calls, Johnson nearly fell over laughing. And why not? His Hurricanes had won, 28-16.
I hear ya. I have heard of that exchange many times. I was actually thinking along the lines of how much more there could have been. If they went that far with just phones, then they would use any and all avenues and if the twitters and such were around then, how much more there could be for all the world to see.

 
Is talking trash on instagram the same as dissing a recipe on pintrest?
You perhaps have something you wish to confess?
