BEVO BEAT Football In the Red River subtweet showdown, Michelle Herman wins round 1 Posted May 11th, 2017


We already know Michelle Herman isn’t the type of coach’s wife to stay behind the scenes.

On Wednesday, she rushed to her husband’s defense in a way that will only further endear her to Longhorns fans. In an obvious response to Oklahoma assistant coach Kerry Cooks’ Monday subtweet (see below), the Texas football first lady had the perfect comeback.

Over the past month, Texas has gotten the better of Oklahoma on the recruiting trail, picking up two commitments from four-star prospects based north of the border and another from a four-star quarterback who was previously pledged to the Sooners.

That prompted this tweet from Cooks:

Young ones beware "real recognize real" lots of false prophets lurking 🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥 pic.twitter.com/8iyy5rvHTE — Kerry Cooks (@CoachKerryCooks) May 9, 2017

Michelle Herman fired back with this:

Longhorns out there hunting like wolves 😉🤘🏼 #ThisIsTexas pic.twitter.com/88Da8PAgGr — Michelle Herman (@belletjh) May 10, 2017

Needless to say, the responses were pure gold.
