'There are other games played outside of Knoxville' — Chipper Jones explains social media digs seen by some as directed at Tennessee Vols baseball

Naturally, that drew a good bit of response from fans of several programs, given the attention gained at several different locations across the country for some chirping between teams.  Some fans responded back to Jones, including a Tennessee fan.  Jones replied back with a bit of a spicy comment denying it was UT and saying that "there are other games played outside of Knoxville".

Jones would ultimately go on to explain that he's a "Gator at heart", and that the way that Florida head coach Kevin O'Sullivan handled a situation with the time change bothered him.  O'Sullivan drew national condemnation and had to apologize after seen on video berating local staff at the Conway regional allegedly due to a game time change.

Jones also complained about the trash talking between Georgia and Oklahoma State and between Florida State and Mississippi State, which had a handful of incidents of players yelling at each other. Georgia players also drew backlash from some online for wearing their jerseys largely unbuttoned and open. 

What the whole situation has highlighted is that the supposed controversial behavior that many opposing fans have complained about regarding Vitello and his Tennessee Volunteers is not an anomaly.  And it's really not that bad considering what else is going on around the country.  Whether that's a coach berating NCAA tournament staff or calling opposing players offensive names, or a player screaming "f*ck you" to an opponent - like what happened with Arkansas pitcher Will McEntire to Cannon Peebles last month - very questionable behavior happens across college baseball. 

Perhaps folks will direct their ire beyond Knoxville now.  Like a very prominent former baseball star is doing.
