Big 12 Conference trolls Skip Bayless for North Carolina prediction after blowout TCU win

North Carolina raced out to a 7-0 over TCU on Monday, and it had analysts ready to champion Bill Belichick as the greatest thing to ever grace college football. Then, the rest of the game was played.

The Horned Frogs ended up scoring 41 unanswered points, ending up winning 48-14 over the Tar Heels in Chapel Hill. Afterwards, the Big 12 Conference wanted all the smoke, especially with Skip Bayless, after he predicted a blowout following UNC’s opening drive. Check it out below.

That’s a perfect troll from the conference’s social media team. A lot of experts were made to look foolish due to North Carolina’s performance on Monday. Most people didn’t even know who the Tar Heels were playing, but TCU reminded them.

Everyone wants their pound of flesh regarding UNC online, even Horned Frogs safety Bud Clark. He had quite the game against the Tar Heels, and he continued to make headlines afterwards, delivering a pointed a message towards Belichick and his much younger girlfriend, Jordon Hudson.

“He gotta call for his girlfriend,” Clark said among his teammates in the locker room postgame. “Hey, Belichick gotta call for his girlfriend. He sad.”

Clark took the easy jab but it appeared effective, and got a laugh or two out of his teammates. He isn’t the first person to talk about Belichick and his relationship with Hudson. In fact, the couple’s history has been well documented since he took the UNC job this offseason. 

Belichick and his girlfriend in Hudson have made headlines since they’ve revealed their relationship status. Many of them discuss the age discrepancy between the two. Belichick is 73 and Hudson is 24. For reference, UNC’s quarterback for the second half, Max Johnson, is also 24 years old.

It was the cap on a great night for Clark, as he was arguably the catalyst that busted the scoreboard open between the Horned Frogs and Tar Heels in the second quarter. He picked off North Carolina quarterback Gio Lopez in the second quarter and returned it for a touchdown.

TCU led North Carolina 10-7 at time, and the pick-six pushed the Horned Frogs lead to 10. After North Carolina scored a touchdown on their opening drive of the game, TCU scored the next 40 points in the matchup. 

In addition to his interception return for a touchdown, Clark also logged five total tackles including four solo. In his sixth season of college football at TCU, Clark has been a mainstay in the Horned Frogs lineup and it’s clear that he plans on being a disruptor in the passing game this season.
