Colt McCoy explains why he's supporting TCU against Georgia
Colt McCoy isn’t pretending that TCU won’t be up against an SEC beast with a monster of a defense on Monday night in Los Angeles.
“I think they’re going up against a giant,” said the former Texas quarterback and current signal-caller with the Arizona Cardinals.
But on Monday morning on ESPN Radio with analysts Jacob Hester and Bobby Carpenter, McCoy explained why he’s still supporting the Horned Frogs, who are close to a 2-touchdown underdog against defending national champion Georgia. McCoy believes in the magic of TCU, a former Big 12 rival of his during his playing days in Austin, even if he also thinks the Bulldogs will eventually prevail.

“I am proud of the Big 12 for putting somebody in the national championship (game). Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would be TCU,” said McCoy, who voiced how proud he was of Horned Frogs head coach Sonny Dykes and also described his unique relationship with Dykes’ dad, the late Spike Dykes. “Leading a TCU team to a national title game, you should make a movie about this.”
McCoy won the Maxwell Award at Texas in 2009, the same season he led the Longhorns to the national championship game against Alabama. He is fully aware of the mighty challenge his fellow Lone Star State school has in front of it on Monday against another SEC powerhouse.
“I think Georgia is stacked,” McCoy said. “This feels like (the movie) Hoosiers to me. I’m not counting TCU out. But I think Georgia is probably going to win the game.”
I assume the vast majority of viewers will be pulling for the Cinderella Frogs against the Red Meanies.
Seems to be the most prevalent train of thought…hoping for a TCU win, but fully expecting a UGA victory.
Someone did a map. As expected most the East is pulling for UGA (except the state of Bama). And most of the West except the Dakotas and Montana were pulling for TCU.
I can’t speak for the rest of Alabama, but I am pulling for the Dawgs.
Thank you. I would be pulling for Bama.
Red Meanies? Where have you heard that?
We were always the under-Dawgs, especially with the Bammers past few years. But now I guess, we are the “meanies” or Red Bully-Dawgs now. ;) I believe it will be a close game the first half of the game.
We were the bad guys to a Cinderella story back in the 2008 Sugar Bowl against Hawaii.
Why do I care what this loser thinks?
Who cares. Colt who?
How did that work out for him?
