Texas QB Sam Ehlinger has good way of avoiding Twitter hate
If you think you can rattle Sam Ehlinger over Twitter, think again.
The Texas Longhorns quarterback spoke with the media Tuesday at Big 12 Media Days. He talked about why he isn’t bothered by hate sent his way on Twitter. It’s pretty simple: he doesn’t receive notifications about it.
Texas QB Sam Ehlinger said his Twitter settings will only show notifications from people that he follows. So for all the hate tweets sent his way, “I don’t know.”

Ehlinger received some reactions for his tweets supporting an amateurism reform bill, but apparently he didn’t see most of it.
He previously told The Athletic why it wouldn’t bother him. “I don’t really necessarily look at responses on Twitter. I don’t really care what homeboy with six followers has to say,” he said.
Ehlinger also has received some negativity this summer from both Baker Mayfield and Terry Bradshaw. Texas coach Tom Herman dismissed those comments as “irrelevant.”
Texas seems to be doing a good job of not letting any detractors bother them, allowing them to focus on their goals and not get derailed.
