Butch Jones tells Eric Striker ‘have some damn class’ after trash talking Vols fans

Eric Striker Tennessee

Eric Striker wasn’t about to walk out of Neyland Stadium without getting the final word against Tennessee fans.

The Oklahoma linebacker taunted Vols fans after his Sooners came back from a 17-0 deficit to defeat the Vols 31-24 in double-OT on Saturday.

What was he taunting them about? You may recall that Striker brushed aside the talk of SEC dominance with a fantastic quote during the week leading up to the game.

He also delivered this gem:

Apparently his antics were not sitting well with Tennessee coach Butch Jones.

The Oklahoman’s Jason Kersey reports that Jones told Striker to “have some damn class” following his antics.

Eric Striker said Butch Jones approached him during the post game celebration and said, "You're a helluva player, but have some damn class."

Class is nice, but I’m sure Striker cares much more about getting the victory.
