SEC Shorts takes the biggest storylines facing the conference, and then they turn them into comedy. Of course, there was no bigger storyline in the SEC last Saturday than the insanity that took place inside Neyland Stadium.

After a golf ball, a mustard bottle and various debris was thrown onto the field, many wondered just how those items got into the stadium. However, SEC Shorts has you covered with their version of the answers.

The sketch features explanations for the most prominent items that made their way onto the field. Obviously the mustard bottle was for good luck, and the golf ball was brought in because our perpetrator was going to Top Golf afterwards.

Hilariously, the fictitious Neyland Stadium security guard disallowed the fan’s sunblock from being brought inside. Who knows what would’ve happened if an SPF 50 bottle of Coppertone Sport was allowed in the stadium.

Disgraceful, embarrassing, disgusting — whatever media members want to call the actions of Tennessee fans on Saturday, we can all sit back and laugh at the scenario now that it’s over.

Tennessee penalized by SEC for throwing trash, delaying game

You can’t throw mustard bottles and golf balls at people and get away scotch free in the Southeastern Conference. The SEC took swift action in response to Tennessee’s trash-throwing incident against Ole Miss, announcing on Monday that the university will be assessed a $250,000 fine, among other punishments.

“The disruption of Saturday night’s game is unacceptable and cannot be repeated on any SEC campus,” SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey said of Tennessee’s actions in a press release. “Today’s actions are consistent with the oversight assigned by the membership to the SEC office, including the financial penalty and review of alcohol availability. We will use this opportunity to reemphasize to each SEC member the importance of providing a safe environment even with the intensity of competition that occurs every week. We will also reengage our membership in further review of the alcohol availability policy to consider additional measures for the sale and management of alcohol while providing the appropriate environment for collegiate competition.”

In addition to the $250,000 fine, which will be deducted from the school’s annual SEC revenue distribution share, Tennessee must use “all available resources” to identify individuals guilty of throwing trash and delaying the game.

As of Monday afternoon, the University of Tennessee Police Department had arrested 18 fans, while ejecting 47 more from Saturday’s game. Tennessee must also update its game management procedures and alcohol availability policies to prevent similar events from taking place, and those policies must be agreed upon by the SEC, per release.

Lastly, prior to Tennessee’s next home game — Nov. 13 against the No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs — the university is required to provide a report to the SEC summarizing its efforts to both identify and penalize offenders, as well as its plans to prevent future similar events from taking place.
