Giles Jackson to Michigan Crowd: "Fuck You, Bitch" (Video Included)
Not a good look at all. I'm glad this guy is no longer with the program.

Oh man. Booing opposing teams. So awful.
September 12th, 2021 at 7:50 PM ^
Oh come on. Getting booed is part of playing on the road. (It shouldn't go further than that, but a "booooo" never hurt anybody.)
September 12th, 2021 at 9:15 PM ^
Either then every team ever who has had a former player who forced their way out return have been in poor taste, orrrr.... it's part of sports. and targeting specific people with your general frustrations is a bad look.
September 12th, 2021 at 7:07 PM ^
A bad look, absolutely.
But I'd hate to be caught on video after a hard loss, especially if people were mocking me.
September 12th, 2021 at 8:40 PM ^
Honestly, it's part of learning to be a public persona. It is what it is; you gotta learn to deal with it with class.
September 12th, 2021 at 9:03 PM ^
Well at least he did not go full Orgeron and say we wear sissy blue!
September 12th, 2021 at 7:07 PM ^
31-10, Giles. Take your medicine.
September 12th, 2021 at 7:11 PM ^
I have to wonder what was said to Giles previously?
I'd be willing to bet that some douchebag fan thought it was okay to speak some bullshit to an opposing player.

Heckling is part of sports. Can’t blame him for yelling back. Understandable he’s mad what’s the big deal?
September 12th, 2021 at 7:12 PM ^
Neither he nor Joe Milton have had much success thus far. I watched the first quarter of the Tennessee game yesterday. Milton overthrew wide open receivers on about six plays. He has absolutely no touch on his throws.
September 12th, 2021 at 7:32 PM ^
Maybe his thumb still hurts
September 12th, 2021 at 8:30 PM ^
This is a quick read, but there are some hilarious tweets re: Milton overthrowing receivers from the Vols faithful.

Use a long-snapper and drop Joe 15 yards behind the LOS. Problem solved.
Hahaha
September 12th, 2021 at 9:28 PM ^
I saw your comment and found a video of their offensive plays from yesterday and WOW, he has not progressed one bit!
September 13th, 2021 at 9:29 AM ^
If he was more of a robot he could probably get a firmware update for that.
September 12th, 2021 at 7:12 PM ^
Count me among those who didn't realize until later what the random boo'ing was about. When I learned the crowd was boo'ing any mention of Giles Jackson, I had mixed feelings about it. It also appeared to me that his former teammates weren't really happy to see him, but maybe they dapped up off camera? At least we have the memory of him returning kicks against Alabama.
September 12th, 2021 at 11:17 PM ^
If you want to profit off your image and likeness, you gotta grow up when people razz your image and likeness.
September 12th, 2021 at 11:49 PM ^
I noticed that too. The team didn't appear to take to kindly to his return from the look of it. Kinda gives some credence to the word on his departure from the program. Now maybe like you said there was some after the game handshakes and what not but I didn't see it. I've also noticed a few of the players taking not if this video on Twitter and Instagram
September 12th, 2021 at 7:15 PM ^
Yeah I'm sure he was treated with nothing but love and respect yesterday.
September 12th, 2021 at 7:15 PM ^
Could this be the new “Marcus Hall Epic Double Bird” for the weekly negative play of the week?
September 12th, 2021 at 7:16 PM ^
It’s whatever. The crowd was booing him every time his name was announced so, I don’t blame him.
I have mixed feelings on the booing, but if we’re going to dish it we’d better be able to take it too.
Really depends on what was said to him, I think.
September 12th, 2021 at 7:17 PM ^
Jackson's mom said something racial was said towards Giles. She just posted it on twitter.
September 12th, 2021 at 7:24 PM ^
Smells like a lie but I hope that if it’s true the person who said it is found out and appropriately reprimanded. I’d hope if something racist was said then someone in the crowd who also heard it would report it.
guessing miss Jackson is making an excuse for her son’s poor reaction.
September 12th, 2021 at 7:26 PM ^
Not buying it.
September 13th, 2021 at 12:26 AM ^
What a surprise.
The hillbilly doesn't believe racism exists.
I have seen this before. From this same hillbilly even.
September 12th, 2021 at 7:26 PM ^
Of course it was something racial. It always is. That’s everyone’s go to response these days so might as well keep using it...
September 12th, 2021 at 7:54 PM ^
This.
September 12th, 2021 at 7:38 PM ^
Going with the Ol’ Tyrann Mathieu excuse
September 12th, 2021 at 7:46 PM ^
Here come the white guys to talk about racism again…
September 12th, 2021 at 7:51 PM ^
Well, I'm half white (the other half Mexican) and I've had my share of racism directed at me because I look like a "white boy" even though I'm a grown man. I guess I know a little about racism.
September 12th, 2021 at 7:57 PM ^
Right on cue
September 13th, 2021 at 12:15 AM ^
I saw that Star Trek. With Frank Gorshin.
September 12th, 2021 at 7:58 PM ^
Here comes the virtue signaling.
September 12th, 2021 at 8:27 PM ^
Here comes the virtue signaler signaling again.
September 12th, 2021 at 8:35 PM ^
Giles is that you?
September 12th, 2021 at 9:41 PM ^
Really living up to the “Purple Helmet” nickname with such dickhead comments
September 12th, 2021 at 9:51 PM ^
Cuz it’s impossible for white people to victims of racism or understand racism.
gtfo idiot
September 12th, 2021 at 7:47 PM ^
Yeah……OK
September 12th, 2021 at 7:53 PM ^
Link?
September 12th, 2021 at 7:56 PM ^
In the video it sounds like someone is yelling "Traitor" at him.
Maybe someone else said something besides that, but if was a racial epithet, why would only Jackson take offense? None of the other players reacted at all.
September 12th, 2021 at 8:17 PM ^
Yeah I listened to the video and I couldn't hear the comment. Supposedly it was a "Karen" that said it. Like you said nobody else reacted to it. If that was really yelled out the players and fans next to him would have had some kind of reaction.
September 12th, 2021 at 8:20 PM ^
I'm sorry Ms. Jackson, I am for real.Never meant to make your daughter cry I apologize a trillion times.
You can clearly hear a fan scream "Traitor" several times, not racist, need to stomp out that rumor immediately.
September 12th, 2021 at 8:20 PM ^
Interesting....I heard that fans were trashing the quality of apples coming out of the state of Washington in recent years and said agricultural/produce critique was not taken lightly by Mr. Jackson.
September 12th, 2021 at 9:11 PM ^
Something racial was said and the video didn't pick it up and no one else Husky player or UofM fan reacted in the video?
I think it is an easy excuse to be made.
September 13th, 2021 at 10:55 AM ^
Come on I watched the video 10 times, not one other person black or white even reacted to what ever was said to him. I cannot believe that no one would have reacted in these times if anything racial was said. Let alone the Michigan fans near the fan that supposedly said something racial.
September 12th, 2021 at 7:18 PM ^
Was it really that cold last night in A2?
September 12th, 2021 at 7:23 PM ^
I was scratching my head about that too
September 12th, 2021 at 7:20 PM ^
Hey Giles. Hold this L. Bitch.
September 12th, 2021 at 7:21 PM ^
I'm fine with Jackson lashing out like that. Fans hurl verbal abuse at players at the precise moment they are at a low point (losing a game). We expect them to be amped up to play but then expect them to not react to verbal abuse. Some fans treat players like animals in a zoo. I wasn't really angered by Marcus Hall's middle finger either. I'll continue to root for Giles Jackson as a former Wolverine. The part of the fan base that hates on former players is only a small (but very vocal) part of the fan base.
September 12th, 2021 at 7:26 PM ^
What I heard was said is “Montana” and “Traitor.” Not sure if true. If it is, the little shit talking kid should be taught about being gracious, humble and respectful. For what it’s worth, I interacted with many U Dub fans yesterday and they were great.
