Some Tennessee baseball fans showed up to Lindsey Nelson Stadium for Game 1 of the Knoxville Super Regional against Notre Dame wearing T-shirts that read “Classless vs. Catholics”.
It’s a play on the infamous “Catholics vs. Convicts” mantra that originated in the Notre Dame-Miami football rivalry of the 1980s. It’s also a sign that Vols fans have embraced the “classless” label the fans have been given on social media by opposing fanbases, mostly within the SEC.
The term was used most recently when a clip of Vols right-fielder Jordan Beck's one-finger salute in the regional final win over Georgia Tech went viral on Twitter. It was also heavily used when Tennessee football fans delayed a game against Ole Miss by launching trash on the field, including a full bottle of mustard.
