After TCU derailed the hype train for UNC with a dominant 48-14 win on Monday night, Tar Heels head coach Bill Belichick couldn’t escape an epic troll job during the Horned Frogs’ locker room celebration.
During a livestream on Instagram, TCU safety and defensive captain Bud Clark was heard taking a shot at Belichick and his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson.
“Belichick gotta call for his girlfriend,” Clark said, per Jenna Lemoncelli of the New York Post. “… He sad.”
Clark had a 25-yard pick-six in the first half and finished with five tackles as the Horned Frogs trounced the Tar Heels. The senior wasn’t alone in trolling UNC following the win, as TCU’s social media team went to town on the pundits who predicted Belichick would come out on top in his college football coaching debut.
Belichick’s first college football game understandably generated a ton of fanfare. NBA legend Michael Jordan, Pro Football Hall of Famers Randy Moss and Lawrence Taylor and retired UNC basketball coach Roy Williams were among those in attendance for the game at Kenan Memorial Stadium in Chapel Hill. Moss was seen watching the game from a suite alongside Hudson, who was on the sidelines before the game.
Unsurprisingly, TCU felt like an afterthought heading into the game and was motivated to prove the masses wrong.
“We wanted this game to be about us, and it was. I think we all felt a little disrespected,” TCU head coach Sonny Dykes said. “There was a lot of conversation about this game and none of it was about us.”
After spoiling Belichick’s home opener, the Horned Frogs will have a week to revel in their celebration before returning to action on Sept. 13 against Abilene Christian. The Tar Heels will have to regroup quickly, as they will face Charlotte on Saturday.
