The people running the Georgia Bulldogs Twitter account got an early start celebrating their CFP National Championship.
They started trolling the TCU Horned Frogs early in the third quarter.
The Georgia Football account tweeted a video with a spoof of TCU’s “Hypnotoad,” a kaleidoscope character that originated on the cartoon show “Futurama” but was adopted several years ago by the Horned Frogs as another mascot.
So the Georgia Football account introduced its own secondary mascot, “HypnoDAWG,” in a short video. Never mind that the game still had almost a full half to play. At that point, Georgia led 45-7, and the CFP title game outcome was not in doubt.

Note the distressed Kermit the Frog and the character in the iconic “Frogger” video game getting squashed.
Many fans thought it was brilliant, others argued it was a bad look to tweet the video during the game. Either way, it’s not likely this character will stick around and become a beloved Bulldogs icon.
“What an absolutely SAVAGE tweet mid-game,” tweeted Brett Solis.
