Earlier Saturday morning on College Gameday,  two Texas cheerleaders used an air cannon to blow a hole through an LSU Joe Burrow jersey, setting the tone for tonight's game. 

Feeling disrespected, LSU fans took to twitter to express their displeasure.

I’m confused.
I can’t do the “horns down” symbol because it’s taunting or disrespectful...
But you can blow a cannon thru the chest of my QB’s jersey?

Yo.... shredding a teams jersey with the school cannon. That’s just dirty. LSU is going to see that for sure. Not that they needed a reason to get up for this game but why give extra ammunition? #gameday
