College football fans had hilarious reaction seeing the Vanderbilt quarterback coming up in an unexpected look.
“Diego Pavia coming in with a ski mask on pre-game is comical. Like bro chill, you’re not that guy 💀” one fan wrote.
“If I have to sit here and listen to Joe Tessitore s*ck off Diego Pavia for the next 3 quarters, TV is getting muted,” one fan added.
Hilarious reactions continued with some taking sarcastic jibes at the quarterback.
“Is there a more insufferable player in college football?” one fan asked.
“Ohhhhh brother 😆 this may be a bookmark record” another fan wrote.
“Ski mask Pavia uh oh” one fan commented.
“I want to cheer for Vandy so hard .. but dang Diego makes it so hard,” one fan wrote.
This is not the first time Diego Pavia’s behavior has come under scrutiny by fans. after Vanderbilt’s victory over Utah State, he faced criticism for placing his hand on a sideline reporter’s shoulder during an interview. Fans found it inappropriate.
Diego Pavia Shows Love To Nick Saban Ahead of LSU Showdown
Ahead of Vanderbilt’s highly anticipated SEC showdown against LSU, College GameDay analyst and former LSU head coach Nick Saban asked Diego Pavia how the Commodores were handling the “rat poison.” It is a term often used to describe unwarranted media distraction.
“First off, what’s up, Mr. Legendary Nick Saban? I didn’t get to see you last week or two weeks ago, and I wanted to say hi. But I didn’t get the chance to meet you. But I would say the rat poison is just what you think about it,” Pavia said.
Pavia, who has led Vanderbilt to 5-1 record this season, said the team remains grounded despite the external media hype. The team’s only loss this season was against Alabama two weeks ago.
