WATCH: Kansas State epically trolls TCU following Big 12 Championship upset
TCU has gone viral multiple times this year for its frog videos following wins. Saturday, after the Horned Frogs suffered their first loss of the year in the Big 12 Championship, Kansas State dished it right back.
The Wildcats posted a video on their Twitter page that looked very similar to TCU’s videos. It was part of the celebration after Chris Kleiman’s group knocked off the Horned Frogs 31-28 in overtime at AT&T Stadium.
Kansas State got some big performances on offense on Saturday, led by quarterback Will Howard. He completed 18 of 32 passes for 199 yards and two touchdowns. Running back Deuce Vaughn also had a big day, rushing for 130 yards and a score of his own to help lead the Wildcats to victory.
TCU made things interesting late and forced overtime thanks to a 15-yard touchdown run from Max Duggan and subsequent two-point conversion. But the Horned Frogs were stopped short of the goal line in overtime, paving the way for K-State kicker Ty Zentner to drill the game-winning field goal.
This isn’t the first time another program has borrowed TCU’s video trolls. Michigan did the same thing last week after defeating Ohio State — and it led to a response from the Horned Frogs.
Michigan trolls Ohio State following rivalry win, gets called out by TCU for it
Michigan got the win they wanted this season by going to Columbus and defeating Ohio State 45-23. It earned the Wolverines a spot in the Big Ten Championship and all but sealed their inclusion in the College Football Playoff. At the end of the day, though, this was a rivalry win first and foremost and, as such, the Wolverine’s social media team did not hold back.
Michigan tweeted out a video trolling the Buckeyes with several highlights from their second straight victory in The Game. If the loss wasn’t embarrassing enough, this clip just pours all kinds of extra salt into the wound.
However, it wasn’t the Buckeyes who shot back at Michigan for the video. It was fellow playoff contender TCU who says they’ve coined this style of video to mock their opponents all season long. In response, the Horned Frogs tweeted several of their own responses and retweeted others that all called out Michigan for the infringement.
