Watched the whole thing. Damn, Georgia made TCU look baaaaaad. And, TCU made Michigan look bad the previous week- the game was not nearly so close as the score would suggest. I told my wife “TCU out Big10ed Michigan.” I really thought this was going to be competitive, especially as Georgia struggled with Ohio State. Herbsteit is a dipshit, but at least they didn’t have Joe Buck in the announcers’ booth.
Matress Mack owns Gallery furniture and his schtick is “Spend $xxxx on furniture and if (insert sports team de jure) you get it fre free FREE!”
I’m certain he made more in furniture sales than he lost on that bet.
And, he won $75 mil on his Astros bet to win the series. I wouldn’t laugh too hard at him…
Edit- He also runs a trades program that is advertised on the local radio as free…
With three locations in the Houston area, Gallery Furniture now also offers online ordering for our top-of-the-line mattresses & American-made furniture.

And, while the Osteens were brooming displaced people out of their mega church during hurricane Harvey, Mack opened up his store to all comers (including pets). Joel wouldn’t let people sleep in the pews, while Mack was letting them sleep in furnished beds in his store. My recollection from some friends is that there was also free bottled water and snacks available as well.
