It’s fair to call one local family a house divided as their teams, TCU and Georgia, head to the championship.
“It’s going to be really interesting that we will be opposing each other,” said Mary Tauscher.
Mary Tauscher went to the University of Georgia and her husband Luke Tauscher, who grew up in Fort Worth, went to“It’s kind of an unreal experience obviously for me. I think most TCU fans would say the same thing,” said Luke.Sign up for NBC DFW newslettersThe couple met after college and got married when Luke moved to Georgia. He is a big fan of SEC land. Usually, they cheer for each other’s teams. But this game is an exception.
The Tauschers are headed to California. But in this house, there has already been one victory. We asked what side they are sitting on. “TCU side. We are midfield, like sections down from the TCU allotment. We talked about that. I told her I am around red all day, every day of my life, so I need to be around some purple. I haven’t been around it in a long time so we are sitting on the TCU side,” said Luke.“Our oldest is fully supporting dad’s team, fully supporting TCU, and has the TCU cheer memorized. We have to tell her she has to say heck instead of the other word when she says it.
“One of us is a little bit bigger trash talker, though, so if Georgia wins I might have to tone her down a little bit,” said Luke. “The flight home will be either a lot of fun, or there will not be a lot of talking.”The National Championship kicks off Monday at 6:30 p.m. CT. The game is being broadcast on ESPN and is also being streamed for free on their apps.
