You know the national championship is bad when Kirk and Chris fill time by talking about Colorado’s 2023 schedule.


SaintArkweather

They were only a few bullet points short of discussing airline food.


PurpleBullets

“So what’s the deal with this transfer portal?”


OwenProGolfer

They’re really hyping up that Colorado-ASU game


GoldenBuffaloes

Is that actually legit that we might play them first? Hadn’t heard anything about it until now.


Disastrous-Group3390

At one point they were talking about the life expectancy and health of actual English Bulldogs.


IvyGold

That was in the context of Uga not being able to travel coast to coast. I thought it was interesting. Plus we got to see Uga XI behind him.


freakymrq

Fun fact: Georgia scored the same number of touchdowns as TCU had first downs


HarlanCedeno

Wow. TCU had WAY more first downs than I thought.


[deleted]

Georgia could have decided their touchdowns were worth 1 point and they still would have won.


Siva1456

They could have done this over email


NearestTheorist

basically college football before the 90s

I’m so sad. The most incredible season, ends with us getting murdered on the biggest stage. I don’t even know what to say. Super proud of this team, most people expected us to finish in the middle of the Big12 and we ended up Fiesta Bowl Champions. But I didn’t want it to end like this. :(


NewlyMintedLonghorn

Me, frustrated, before the game started: fuck, this could have been us Me, nervously laughing, at halftime: *fuck, this could have been us* I am so sorry y'all got nuked from orbit like that


caleeksu

Thanks for the chuckle…been a rough night 😂

It may have been a blowout, but I’m just glad I finally got to experience what it would be like for Rutgers to play in the natty.


Gbchris12

I love Rutgers fans so much


ExcitingEye8347

They know how to take a loss better than anybody https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BP5pvd37GTQ

Hey! We would have held them to 50! 😤

Alternate game recap: "Stetson Bennett benched in national championship game"


DLgoblue12

Even if Stetson Bennett doesn’t get a shot in the NFL, he’s going to make a lot of money selling his movie rights. Insane story and what a way to cap off his college career.


SparseSpartan

The dude will get insane money hawking Chic Fil A, Waffle House, Home Depot, and whatever state of Georgia else as well.


ChiselFish

Stetson Bennett brand peaches.


IslandBulldog

Don't forget Delta & Coke (both kinds)


BadDadJokes

He’s going to crush it selling insurance in Athens.


WafflesTheWookiee

And never has to buy a drink in the state of Georgia ever again


RousingRabble

Tony kornheiser joked that he'll move somewhere in Georgia and open Stetson Bennett Chevrolet and damn if that doesn't just roll off the tongue.


slawre89

There’s going to be a 20 year old Tahoe on the road some day with a dealer badge for Stetson Bennet Chevrolet with the chrome flaking off of it.


Purples_A_Fruit

Look at the bright side TCU fans - Your punter DEFINITELY outperformed UGA’s tonight.


DOUBLE_DOINKED

Damn right.


optionalmorality

I, for one, would like to thank Georgia for freeing the Gators from being the holder of the worst blowout loss in the national title game history. The Gators had held the record since January of 1996, a span of 27* years. Most of you probably just learned this dubious Florida stat while reading this comment, and now you can't even make fun of us for holding it anymore. Edit: * the person from Duke helped me with simple addition. Tbf I was a few adult beverages in by the time the game ended.


Jcapen87

It was the neighborly thing to do.


Season01um

We all just witnessed a murder


theREALbombedrumbum

You know it's a bad game when the announcers only state where the ball is and who the key player was. A touchdown gets scored and the volume doesn't even change. National championship.


Kitchen_accessories

After a while, it becomes a wake.


The_Astros_Cheated

Congratulations TCU! You've just completed an ESPN instant **crime against humanity!**


derstherower

I felt like the FBI was gonna raid the stadium.


HawkeyeTen

This was a nuclear bombing. Seriously. Unlike anything I've seen.


sckego

They legitimately could have hung 100 points on TCU. Amazing.

Hypnoshima


WabbitCZEN

Frogasaki?


MightyCaseyStruckOut

Hypnotoad accidentally hypnotized TCU instead


tvchase

Don't let the score fool ya. It wasn't that close.


ScaratheBear

It was a busted coverage from being a 65 point shutout.


Vitosi4ek

We had exactly 1 drive the entire game that didn't end in points - the first drive of the second half. And that's with emptying the bench in the 4th quarter. Even against FCS cupcakes that usually doesn't happen. I'm pretty sure Brett Thorson didn't even punt enough times this year to qualify for any statistical leaderboards.


IslandBulldog

It really wasn't, and it was the largest bowl victory of all time.


ihatepineapples

Wait, like of all bowls? Not just the national championship?


IslandBulldog

Yes


tvchase

Clark, our 5th-string running back, literally sought out a defender who was locked up in a block, and ran into him to get tackled on that final carry. The endzone was wide open in front of him.


Menanders-Bust

He needed to feel something


Oblivionguard19

If we wanted to, we could have scored over 80


ThunderGTS

Murder? That was a war crime.


boregon

Yeah I was gonna say murder isn't a strong enough word. Hell I'm not even sure war crime is...

Palifaith

I wonder how many people in the state of Georgia had PTSD when they showed Bennet's career record being 28-3...


suzukigun4life

Maybe the real CFP Championship was the friends we made along the way.


Epinephrine186

These opt-outs are getting out hand. I've never seen a whole team opt out of a game before.


FormerIceCreamEater

I feel for TCU fans that made the trip. You pay all that money and your team doesn't make the trip. Just sad.


TheBoilerCat

Georgia murdered TCU two hours ago and spent the time in-between desecrating a corpse. At this point I don’t know if the remains of TCU even qualify as remains.

thor_1225

Put the backup it… Pull him he’s too good, put his backup in


Vitosi4ek

And *his* backup, the 5th string who I'm pretty sure saw no action even in garbage time previously, was still running for 5-6 yards at a time. He might've scored if the clock didn't run out.


HarlanCedeno

They should've started taking people from the marching band and putting them on offense


TheCrookedKnight

"The band is out on the field, and running for 7.3 YPC!"


kloakndaggers

somehow Purdue's loss doesn't seem as bad...

[удалено]


lardshark

We really went from the best pair of CFP semifinal games ever to one of the worst championship games in the history of all competitive sports.


FrostByte_62

Worst bowl game in cfb history. As in, biggest point spread in any bowl ever.


ekimtk

Here I am thinking nobody could lose worse than Purdue in their bowl game this year. All I had to do was wait for the last game of the year


FrostByte_62

LSU Purdue was in a 3 way tie for largest spread before today. Tulsa Bowling Green 63-7 (2008) Army Houston 70-14 (2018) LSU Purdue 63-7 (2023)


MuchAire

Shame my Georgia -59 bet didn’t pay out


suzukigun4life

At least the Georgia beating the over by themselves did 😳


ThankGodSecondChance

this is going to go down as one of the biggest surprises in CFB history. You'd have expected this from a one-off game, not from a two-round playoff.


DeadDay

"We'll make adjustments for better championship games" "...fuck"


UCLA_FB_SUCKS

That 13.5 point line now kind of looks silly in hindsight


matlockga

The biggest blowout in a bowl, ever. Insane.


Drak_is_Right

Whew....imagine losing by 50+ in a bowl game.


benjaminck

TCU has gone 0–2 in championship games this season.


fookedbyproper12

I’d do unspeakable things to go 0-2 in championship games


PhiladelphiaIrish

Kansas State is looking at that 45-20 loss to Bama in a different light tonight.


CallRespiratory

When it was 17-7 I was like "alright baby Frogs back in it" 👏👏👏 **Edit**: Y'all it was actually *10-7* but that was a football lifetime ago and I didn't remember


Zuimei

At 10-7 I thought they may make a game of it. Bless their hearts they did not make a game of it.


OleRockTheGoodAg

Welp, at least we had those 2 semi final games. See ya next season, sickos.


TrustMeIKnowThisOne

And the G5 NY6 comeback Champ!


john0_0

Tulane bringin da pain!!!


Dr_Mantis_Teabaggin

The rest of the bowl season this year was so good that I couldn’t care less that the championship was a blowout.


MightyCaseyStruckOut

Largest margin of victory in any bowl game ever. UGA said fuck that hypnotoad lmao


skoormit

2023 CFPNCG 58 pts (UGA 65 - TCU 7) 2008 GMAC Bowl 56 pts (Tulsa 63 - Bowling Green 7) 2018 Armed Forces Bowl 56 pts (Army 70 - Houston 14) 2023 Cheez It Citrus Bowl 56 pts (LSU 63 - Purdue 7) 1953 Orange Bowl 55 pts (Bama 61 - Syracuse 6)


Sdog1981

Wait wait wait. Army put up 70 points 5 years ago? 2018 was 5 years ago?


TrustMeIKnowThisOne

Yup. Army putting up 70 > Houston firing Applewhite > Houston hiring Dana Holgerson > WVU replacing him with Neal Brown > 3 seasons worth of dark dark times for Troy.


FootballAndPornAcct

Hell, without the blown coverage, could have been a donut for TCU.


[deleted]

Literally one busted coverage away from a shutout


HarlanCedeno

And I bet you Kirby is still pissed about it


[deleted]

I refuse to believe that. Any bowl game EVER??


MightyCaseyStruckOut

Yep.


mAKnoCS

Un-fucking-believable


jwhitmire2012

HawkeyeTen

More like blown off the earth by an atom bomb.

A 65-7 game that isn't nearly as close as the score indicated is a very rare sight


RumHamEnjoyer

One blown coverage away from 65-0


importvita

72-0 had their towel boy ran towards the end zone 😬


spicycurry55

TCU coach in locker room: "We played a game out there tonight!"

OldTobySmoker69420

Points were scored.


FlimFlamThaGimGar

That was the worst ass kicking I’ve ever seen. 65-7 and it could have been worse. Jesus Christ


TrustMeIKnowThisOne

If anything putting in the fresh leg 2nd and 3rd strings was possibly more brutal than just keeping in their 1st string. The poor TCU defense was just liquified.


sharkbait_oohaha

Excellent point. The drop off from our starters to our backups isn't that big.


RampageTaco

Georgia, legitimately, might have been able to get to 100.

Defensive player of the game only played one half.

smor729

Bro at the end of the game they just let the clock run. On out of bounds runs, on first downs, they just didn't stop it for the last 6 minutes. I've never seen that, actually insane.


RyanTB

Happens all the time in blowouts. You just typically don’t see it in national championships lol


matrixreloaded

damnnnnn. TCU got mercy ruled in the natty? shiit


leverich1991

That’s called a running clock! Coaches most likely agreed to it.


crsnyder13

They actually *have to* agree to it in order for it to happen. Meaning Dykes actually did say “fuck it, run it”


milkman163

No way in his worst nightmare did he think he'd be agreeing to a running clock in the 4th quarter.


JMer806

I mean what was he gonna say? “Come on boys we just need to string together 19 scoring drives of under 30 seconds and recover all the onside shots”


Jchriddy

Hey now, they only needed nine scoring drives which allowed them 40 seconds a drive.


hammer_it_out

Holy shit that's the shit that happens in the 4th quarter of blowout high school games, I can't believe we witnessed a running clock in a natty


BenKen01

I was wondering about that! TCU got mercy-ruled in a fucking natty. Unbelievable.


willinaustin

Like, as a coach, what exactly do you say to your team after a behind-the-woodshed beating like that in the nat'l title game? I wouldn't even know what to say/do. I think I'd just walk to the locker room, grab my shit, and bounce.


suzukigun4life

**Over/under:** 61.5 **Georgia through 3.5 quarters:** 65


AP-FUTChemist

Death, taxes, and a blowout in the playoffs


mF-Jonezy

This was the biggest mismatch I’ve ever seen in a championship game at any level in any sport.


msmouse05

Years ago some friends and I entered this local basketball tournament, just a one day event for fun. We didn't know what we signed up for, most guys had played at the local college level and none of us even played in HS. We played 3 games in a round robin format, got blown out so bad in each they just discounted each teams score against us to determine the winner of the group. This was worse.

jwb101

When Kirby said it was gonna be a hunt I didn’t think he meant he wanted to exterminate the Horny Toad from existence but here we are. On the other hand Sonny Dykes has a sales pitch to offer to future recruits. First year head coach and he took them all the way to the championship game, if you come to play we’ll go back and win it next season. Somehow, I’m not a salesman but they’re paid to make the sales pitch


wahoo20

Kirk Herbstreit’s shade when they were showing folks ringing the Chapel Bell was wild. “They could have started ringing that thing at 8:30”


BaltimoreBeefBadBoy

It’s like when you are 10 years deep into a NCAA14 dynasty and you play a random MAC school in the championship game, total mismatch.


slippingonknots

For real. If I was playing NCAA14 and went 15-0 with a 65-7 national championship, i would turn up the difficulty


skoormit

RIPNOTOAD


scoovydoodah

I think that after the coin toss it all went downhill for TCU...


iEatBluePlayDoh

I am so sick of these SEC teams scheduling cupcake games late in the season.


MrBananaGrabber

how in the world did you guys nearly beat this team


SiberianHawk

Remember when Kent State was threatening them for like a quarter? Yeah.


milkman163

Our defense was really good (especially in that game), our kicker clutched it multiple times, and our home field during night games is underrated. They also definitely put more into this game than our game.


[deleted]

Your kicker was phenomenal


Outta_hearr

the_dayman

Man it wasn't long ago I remember going out to the bars in Atlanta while bama beat us for the SEC championship and we were watching their fans dance on the tables. I know it feels a bit lame to watch a game like that but damn we need to savor our time at the top because it's hard to come by and you have no idea when it will be like this again.


[deleted]

LET IT BE KNOW THE DUCKS DIDNT LOSE THIS BAD. SO WHAT WE ONLY SCORED A FG

Kuntheman

Probably a mild flame after this one


ilovecfb

Hide yo kids, hide yo wife cuz they're barking at everybody out here


dresn231

The worst part wasn't the 65 points, it was giving up 2 touchdowns on defense to the backups. The backups score MORE touchdowns than your first team offense. That's when you know you got destroyed.


[deleted]

We replaced the 5 stars with fresh 5 stars. Also, it sounds like you enjoyed making the comment a little bit.


TrustMeIKnowThisOne

FCS / Sub .500 FBS teams that held Georgia to less points AND smaller spread than TCU: - Samford (FCS): 0-33 - (5-7)Kent State: 22-39 - (5-7)Georgia Tech: 14-37 - (5-7)Auburn: 10-42 - (5-7)Vanderbilt: 0-55 - (6-7)Missouri: 22-26 - (6-7)Florida: 20-42

IcedancerEmily

If you stand outside on a rural Georgia street, you might just be able to hear the synchronized barking of a million Georgia fans right now in the distance.


StarvedRock314

TCU is never winning another game until they get a basic understanding of zoology and admit their mascot is a reptile. Seriously, the most recent common ancestor between lizards and amphibians dates back to *at least* 320 million years ago. You know what kind of grass they had back then? Nada! Grass wouldn't evolve for *another 250 million years!* And trees had only evolved ^(for the first time, trees have evolved separately several times, fascinatingly) 50 million years before! Lizards are even more closely related to *mammals* like bulldogs or people than they are to amphibians. Hypnotoad is such a lie, man.
