Shaq to eat horned frog after losing UGA vs. TCU bet
While most of us are wishing we could relive Monday’s game all over again, Shaq is probably wishing he didn’t go against the now, back-to-back national champions, the Georgia Bulldogs, and make a bet to eat a horned frog if UGA came out on top.

That’s right: Shaquille O’Neal was so confident that the University of Georgia Bulldogs would fall to the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs that last week he bet he would eat a horned frog if the Bulldogs won. Well, Shaq, I hate to break it to you, but the Bulldogs not only won, but they also scored 38 points in the first half of the game, finishing it off with a score of 65-7.
Just one day after the Bulldogs’ win, Shaq seemed to be letting the world know he is a man of his word and is going to make good on his bet, as he posted how thrilled he was about having to eat a horned frog.
UGA wrapped up their season with an undefeated record, landing them back-to-back national championship wins. The team also just announced their championship celebration in Athens, which is sure to be one for the books. Of course, there will be a celebratory parade, a Dawg Walk, and an official program inside Sanford Stadium.

While some may think it’s a little too early to start talking about next season, it’s already become a topic of discussion. During a press conference Tuesday following the Bulldogs’ College Football National Championship win over TCU, UGA Football Coach Kirby Smart says the next national championship is going to be much tougher. “It’s human nature to relax. It’s human nature to take the easy route,” Smart said. “I can be as guilty of that as anyone, but it wasn’t the nature of this team. This wasn’t as hard of a job as people made it seem because of the people we recruited. Not because of the talent, but because of the DNA inside them. This team was different.”
Before we get too ahead of ourselves, let’s not forget the important matter at hand: Shaq, do you need a fork for that horned frog?
