But, with the NFL’s regular season coming to an end, Mahomes, like other fans, has tuned into the College Football Playoff’s national championship game. The stage was set for the Georgia Bulldogs to take on the TCU Horned Frogs. Mahomes, whose loyalty lies elsewhere, was conflicted over which team to root for. So, here’s what he did.
Patrick Mahomes, for once, was unsure of what to do
Patrick Mahomes is Texas Tech’s pride and joy. The QB revealed that he wanted to see the Big 12 team win, but he was on the fence because of one particular reason. The QB took to Twitter to ask, “I want to root for the Big12 but am i allowed to root for TCU?” Mahomes did not know whether it was acceptable for him to root for Texas Tech’s rival- the TCU Horned Frogs.
This was quite the conundrum. On one side, the QB’s loyalty lay with his conference, and on the other, the urge to support TCU. The QB consulted fans on Twitter. But that did not help the situation much. Although the tweet may have been rhetorical, fans gave Mahomes a mixed bunch of answers.
Football fans rush to the aid of Mahomes and help him through this conundrum
Fans took the QB’s conundrum quite seriously. Some urged Mahomes to stay loyal to his alma mater while others encouraged him to support TCU. One fan asked the QB a very valid question:
Can you get there to PLAY the second half for TCU? 🫣

One fan thinks that if the roles were reversed, TCU would root for Texas Tech.
TCU would root for Tech, just saying.

A question many of us Red Raiders have asked ourselves this past week.
I’ll roll with TCU. Tech-TCU game days would/will be on another level so why not?

In the end, the TCU Horned Frogs went down 7-65 against the Bulldogs. For all those who were wondering how the QB managed to carve out time to watch the game, the Chiefs are currently enjoying their first-round bye week after clinching the top spot in both their division and conference.
