My dad is a big time TCU fan ever since moving to the metroplex back in the 70's from Central Texas. Dr's are saying we won't have him too much longer after being a Vietnam Vet and hard working man ever since. His vision and hearing are almost gone but he still was able to semi watch this game. Even if TCU doesn't win the national title, this is a game that he i know he'll never forget. Go Frogs. Thank you for giving some excitement to my dad's crazy life of nurses and Dr's.

Well, I'm surprised that the VOTING committee voted TCU in the CFP. In a true playoff format, CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS entry Only. A non-Conference Champion wouldn't been in a real CFP...Just like the last national title game between two teams from the same Conference SEC vs SEC. CFP isn't a true format. Maybe some day..Michigan might of had a better chance against the BIG12 conference Champion....But congrats to TCU. This Win makes up for years of KNOCKING the title game door, even before they weren't in a PWR-5 Conference.

Such a heartbreaker to watch as a Michigan fan, but man this game was insane!!!!!!!! TCU rightfully beat us and took advantage of our mistakes.

I have been a UM fan since I was a little kid. 7 yrs old. My Father, his Uncle and I went to the Big House to watch Coach Bo lead the Wolverines in a win over the Spartans. In all these years there has only been a handful of times that I knew UM could beat any team they played. All of those times were before the playoffs and most were before 2K. I never thought UM could beat UGA but I did believe they could beat TCU in this game. Sadly, they only defeated themselves. This is something that all UM fans should be used to by now. Our team is its own worst enemy and has been since the days of Bo. Especially in the post season. 2023 can truly be our chance to win it all. Everything is aligned for our team to win every game it plays. Ive only seen this opportunity a handful of times in the last 50 years. Hopefully we wont prove to be our own worst enemy this time.
