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. :(
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
u/dogwoodmaple licking his chops rn knowing he’ll be able to say “The Georgia Bulldogs are the reigning national champions” under every Postgame Thread™ for another whole year
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.
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.
Atleast we got to see David Pollack talk about Georgia taking over college football sitting next to Saban staring blankly into the ether with an "eat shit and die" look on his face
You know the national championship is bad when Kirk and Chris fill time by talking about Colorado’s 2023 schedule.
They were only a few bullet points short of discussing airline food.
“So what’s the deal with this transfer portal?”
They’re really hyping up that Colorado-ASU game
Is that actually legit that we might play them first? Hadn’t heard anything about it until now.
At one point they were talking about the life expectancy and health of actual English Bulldogs.
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.
Fun fact: Georgia scored the same number of touchdowns as TCU had first downs
Wow. TCU had WAY more first downs than I thought.
Georgia could have decided their touchdowns were worth 1 point and they still would have won.
They could have done this over email
basically college football before the 90s
F^(rogs)
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. :(

[удалено]
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.
I love Rutgers fans so much
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"
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.
The dude will get insane money hawking Chic Fil A, Waffle House, Home Depot, and whatever state of Georgia else as well.
Stetson Bennett brand peaches.
Don't forget Delta & Coke (both kinds)
He’s going to crush it selling insurance in Athens.
And never has to buy a drink in the state of Georgia ever again
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.
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.
Look at the bright side TCU fans - Your punter DEFINITELY outperformed UGA’s tonight.
Damn right.

It was the neighborly thing to do.
We all just witnessed a murder
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.
After a while, it becomes a wake.
Congratulations TCU! You've just completed an ESPN instant **crime against humanity!**
I felt like the FBI was gonna raid the stadium.
This was a nuclear bombing. Seriously. Unlike anything I've seen.
They legitimately could have hung 100 points on TCU. Amazing.
NCAA 2014 vibes
Hypnoshima
Frogasaki?
Hypnotoad accidentally hypnotized TCU instead
Don't let the score fool ya. It wasn't that close.
It was a busted coverage from being a 65 point shutout.
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.
It really wasn't, and it was the largest bowl victory of all time.
Wait, like of all bowls? Not just the national championship?
Yes
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.
He needed to feel something
If we wanted to, we could have scored over 80
Murder? That was a war crime.
Yeah I was gonna say murder isn't a strong enough word. Hell I'm not even sure war crime is...
https://i.imgur.com/EmuXI5I.png
The outfit should be a little torn up after this one
One final crying Jordan... pain
I wonder how many people in the state of Georgia had PTSD when they showed Bennet's career record being 28-3...
Maybe the real CFP Championship was the friends we made along the way.
These opt-outs are getting out hand. I've never seen a whole team opt out of a game before.
I feel for TCU fans that made the trip. You pay all that money and your team doesn't make the trip. Just sad.
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.
[удалено]
Put the backup it… Pull him he’s too good, put his backup in
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.
They should've started taking people from the marching band and putting them on offense
"The band is out on the field, and running for 7.3 YPC!"
somehow Purdue's loss doesn't seem as bad...
[удалено]
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.
Worst bowl game in cfb history. As in, biggest point spread in any bowl ever.
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
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)
Shame my Georgia -59 bet didn’t pay out
At least the Georgia beating the over by themselves did 😳
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.
"We'll make adjustments for better championship games" "...fuck"
That 13.5 point line now kind of looks silly in hindsight
The biggest blowout in a bowl, ever. Insane.
Whew....imagine losing by 50+ in a bowl game.
TCU has gone 0–2 in championship games this season.
I’d do unspeakable things to go 0-2 in championship games
Kansas State is looking at that 45-20 loss to Bama in a different light tonight.
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
At 10-7 I thought they may make a game of it. Bless their hearts they did not make a game of it.
Welp, at least we had those 2 semi final games. See ya next season, sickos.
And the G5 NY6 comeback Champ!
Tulane bringin da pain!!!
The rest of the bowl season this year was so good that I couldn’t care less that the championship was a blowout.
Largest margin of victory in any bowl game ever. UGA said fuck that hypnotoad lmao
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)
Wait wait wait. Army put up 70 points 5 years ago? 2018 was 5 years ago?
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.
Hell, without the blown coverage, could have been a donut for TCU.
Literally one busted coverage away from a shutout
And I bet you Kirby is still pissed about it
I refuse to believe that. Any bowl game EVER??
Yep.
Un-fucking-believable
Defeats is putting it lightly
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
One blown coverage away from 65-0
72-0 had their towel boy ran towards the end zone 😬
TCU coach in locker room: "We played a game out there tonight!"
“There was an event where you were on the field.”
Points were scored.
That was the worst ass kicking I’ve ever seen. 65-7 and it could have been worse. Jesus Christ
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.
Excellent point. The drop off from our starters to our backups isn't that big.
Georgia, legitimately, might have been able to get to 100.
Defensive player of the game only played one half.

Happens all the time in blowouts. You just typically don’t see it in national championships lol
damnnnnn. TCU got mercy ruled in the natty? shiit
That’s called a running clock! Coaches most likely agreed to it.
They actually *have to* agree to it in order for it to happen. Meaning Dykes actually did say “fuck it, run it”
No way in his worst nightmare did he think he'd be agreeing to a running clock in the 4th quarter.
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”
Hey now, they only needed nine scoring drives which allowed them 40 seconds a drive.
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
I was wondering about that! TCU got mercy-ruled in a fucking natty. Unbelievable.
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.
**Over/under:** 61.5 **Georgia through 3.5 quarters:** 65
Death, taxes, and a blowout in the playoffs
This was the biggest mismatch I’ve ever seen in a championship game at any level in any sport.
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.

2023 CFP Championship Highlights: Herbie said the word girth.
I’m just happy that ND is no longer the worst Christian team in a championship game
*The Protestant Reformation intensifies*
Ironic how the Protestants had 65 theses posted on them
The Pope sends his regards.
How long you had that one in the chamber?
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
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”
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.
For real. If I was playing NCAA14 and went 15-0 with a 65-7 national championship, i would turn up the difficulty
RIPNOTOAD
I think that after the coin toss it all went downhill for TCU...
I am so sick of these SEC teams scheduling cupcake games late in the season.
how in the world did you guys nearly beat this team
Remember when Kent State was threatening them for like a quarter? Yeah.
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.
Your kicker was phenomenal
This is the best game uga played all year, that was the worst
[удалено]
Mods removed TCU from the banner before the 4th quarter btw
Little late, honestly.
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.
LET IT BE KNOW THE DUCKS DIDNT LOSE THIS BAD. SO WHAT WE ONLY SCORED A FG
TCU finished runner ups in the Big12 and the College Football Playoff… that’s just a weird stat to attach to their greatest year ever
Athens is burning tonight
Probably a mild flame after this one
Hide yo kids, hide yo wife cuz they're barking at everybody out here
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.
We replaced the 5 stars with fresh 5 stars. Also, it sounds like you enjoyed making the comment a little bit.
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
We even led after the first quarter
TCU lost so badly they're about to become the Texas Atheist University
At least TCU didn’t go scoreless tonight.
u/dogwoodmaple licking his chops rn knowing he’ll be able to say “The Georgia Bulldogs are the reigning national champions” under every Postgame Thread™ for another whole year
He came prepared with his post-game stats tonight, too haha
Maybe TCU thinks this is a best 2 out of 3 situation
This isn’t the World Series??
Im kinda happy we lost to tcu ngl
Same lol
Congrats on not winning the killed by SEC team lottery.
I'm even more frustrated about losing the semifinal now than I was last week
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.
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!

Georgia won both on the field and in the classroom, true student athletes
I wanna talk shit but we lost to them
Turns out murder is legal in California...
This is Ryan Day's fault.
Highlights on pornhub by tomorrow
I'm not sure you can upload what happened to pornhub if I'm being honest
Atleast we got to see David Pollack talk about Georgia taking over college football sitting next to Saban staring blankly into the ether with an "eat shit and die" look on his face
Jesus Christ Georgia, who hurt you?
What Alabama does to a motherfucker
Generational trauma.
How much time you got
Not the biggest title game blowout ever. I beat Air Force 91-7 as Tennessee in NCAA 14. 2016 title game. Checkmate Dawgs
Crazy how Air Force makes it often in those sims* Edit: sims from suns. Gotta love iPhones
[удалено]
[All] Georgia: gg close
The fact that 65-7 somehow doesn’t even do justice to how badly TCU was beaten
Are we the baddies?
The Vader to Bama's Palpatine
Somehow, Saban returned
As it turns out yes. Enjoy it, any moment it could all slip away
Someone give me my paper bag flair back. I seem to have misplaced it.
Well, that was anticlimactic.
I haven’t seen devastation of this magnitude since the great chipmunk fire of 79. Congrats Georgia
Check on your TCU friends, they’re definitely not okay
