For those of you who tuned into the Cheez-It Bowl on Wednesday night, I send my condolences. Actually, never mind. That game was so bad, so unforgivably sloppy, it was actually one of the most entertaining steaming piles of dung I’ve seen in quite some time. The TCU Horned Frogs defeated the California Golden Bears 10-7 in an overtime game that was so fucking dumb, it was brilliant.
The game featured nine combined interceptions, tied for third in NCAA history and the most of any game this entire season. I guess that’s to be expected when you match up two top 30 defenses against two of the worst offenses in the Power Five.

Some other wild stats:
• 17 points
• 9 interceptions
• 15 punts
• 8 pass completions by TCU
• 3 INTs by Cal's Jaylinn Hawkins, which is more than any TCU WR had receptions
• 2 QBs named Chase
• 1 coach run over by a ref

The game also featured one of the worst trick plays ever conjured up.

Look at this stat line by TCU quarterback Grayson Muehlstein. This is not a typo.

At one point in the game, the fifth-year senior had a NEGATIVE quarterback rating. Mind you, TCU won this fucking game.
TCU had to bring in fourth-string quarterback Justin Rogers, who has drop foot in his plant foot from a serious knee injury.

The incompetence even bled into the sidelines.

The game was so outrageous that Buffalo Wild Wings, which was the bowl’s sponsor from 2012-13 before it became the Cactus Bowl then the Cheez-It Bowl, was like ‘fuck this game.’
