The scoreboard at Mercedes-Benz Stadium told a clear story:

Georgia Bulldogs 35, Texas Longhorns 10.

It was a decisive win, the kind that usually wraps up with boilerplate coach quotes about execution, adjustments, and toughness. Reporters expected frustration, sure — maybe some terse answers — but nothing out of the ordinary.

Instead, what the world witnessed next ignited the most controversial night in fictional NCAA history.

Moments after the game ended, Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian marched into the press conference room wearing a look no one could quite read — somewhere between anger and heartbreak. Cameras snapped on. Microphones extended forward. The usual chaotic hum of a postgame media availability filled the room.

And then, Sarkisian grabbed the podium with both hands, leaned forward, and detonated a statement that instantly fractured the fictional college football landscape.

“Stop fooling yourself.”

The room froze.

Sarkisian’s voice wasn’t loud.

It wasn’t theatrical.

It wasn’t even particularly sharp.

It was wounded — the kind of tone that drips with both exhaustion and truth someone’s been holding in for far too long.

“Stop fooling yourself,” he repeated, now staring directly into the heart of every reporter in front of him.

Silence.

Not a single camera blinked.

Not a single pen scratched.

Every person in the room sensed they were witnessing something unprecedented.

Then, with the same measured fury, Sarkisian launched into the tirade that would dominate fictional sports headlines for weeks.

“Georgia doesn’t win with heart — they win with money.”

It was the sentence that instantly lit the fuse.

“The Bulldogs don’t win with heart — they win with money,” Sarkisian said, each word deliberate, heavy, irreversible. “They build programs with checkbooks, not sweat. They buy stars, they buy attention, they buy success.”

Reporters’ eyes widened.

Some glanced at each other, unsure if they had heard correctly.

Others instinctively lifted their recorders closer, sensing this moment would become legend.

Sarkisian didn’t flinch.

“That’s not football anymore—it’s business dressed up in armor,” he continued. “Kids aren’t committing to the grind. They’re committing to the highest bidder. And we’re here trying to build something real — something built on belief, hard work, and love of the game.”

He wasn’t shouting.

He wasn’t losing control.

He was simply telling a truth — or at least his truth — that he clearly believed the fictional NCAA had avoided confronting.

The Room Explodes in Shock

The usual storm of camera shutters and whispered reactions never came.

Instead, reporters sat frozen, unsure whether to ask questions, look away, or stop recording entirely. The tension in the room felt physical — like a pressure system building before a tornado.

Several journalists later admitted they were “afraid to breathe.”

Even opposing coaches watching the fictional matchup from home were reportedly stunned. One anonymously texted another:

“Did he just say that on live television?”

Because no one — not players, not analysts, not fans — had ever heard a sitting head coach unload on an opponent with such controlled fury.

Then Came the Evidence.

Just when everyone thought the night couldn’t go any deeper, Sarkisian took a step back from the podium, pulled a small folder from his jacket, and placed it down with a soft but ominous thud.

“I’m tired of staying quiet,” he said.

The room shifted.

The air thickened.

Reporters leaned forward, not even pretending to hide their anticipation.

In this fictional universe, Sarkisian claimed the folder contained “patterns, inconsistencies, and practices” he believed supported his accusations — details he insisted were “open secrets the fictional NCAA refuses to address.”

The Longhorns public relations staff visibly tensed. One assistant coach put his head in his hands. A team official whispered urgently into a headset.

Sarkisian didn’t open the folder.

He didn’t read from it.

He didn’t elaborate.

He simply let it sit there — a symbolic, scorching middle finger to a fictional system he believed was broken.

Kirby Smart Responds With Horror

Across the country, viewers waited for Georgia head coach Kirby Smart’s response — and it came faster than anyone expected.

Within minutes, Smart appeared in his press room, visibly shaken.

“We didn’t come here for a circus,” he said quietly. “We came here to play football. I hope — genuinely — that Coach Sarkisian reconsiders the words he said. For his sake. For our sport’s sake.”

Smart refused to comment on the fictional “evidence,” saying only:

“I’ve never been more stunned in my career.”

His face said the rest.

Shock.

Disbelief.

Embarrassment.

The fictional NCAA landscape had just been dragged into a storm no one expected — yet no one could look away from.

Fans React With Fury, Outrage, and Disbelief

The internet — even in this fictional universe — erupted.

Texas fans:

“He finally said what everyone knows.”

Georgia fans:

“This is slander. Straight-up slander.”

Neutral fans:

“This broke the sport in one night.”

Former players weighed in. Analysts took sides. Sports networks dedicated entire segments to the eruption. Rumors swirled about emergency NCAA meetings, potential suspensions, and internal investigations — all within the fictional narrative.

The explosion was total.

The shockwave unstoppable.

Sarkisian had lit a fire no one could put out.

Where Does Fictional College Football Go From Here?

The fallout was immediate and massive.

The fictional NCAA announced an emergency review.

Television networks ran constant replays of the rant.

Fans argued endlessly across message boards and social platforms.

And in the middle of it all, one question echoed louder than any other:

Was this the moment the fictional NCAA finally cracked?

Sarkisian left the press room without taking questions.

Smart left visibly shaken.

Players from both teams were shielded from reporters.

The entire fictional college football world stood still — watching, waiting, wondering.

Because win or lose, 35–10 wasn’t what anyone would remember.

What they would remember was the night Steve Sarkisian took a blowtorch to the fictional NCAA — and dared it to fight back.
