“I gotta go! Wife is going into labor!”
TCU's dream season continues after beating Michigan in classic CFP semifinal
Not many could have envisioned the TCU Horned Frogs in the national championship at the beginning of the season, but it's time to start believing in this team after topping Michigan in the CFP semifinals.Robert Griffin III has been an excellent addition to ESPN’s college football broadcasts the last two seasons, but Saturday during the College Football Playoff semifinal game between No. 2 Michigan and No. 3 TCU, he had to bail early — because of an excellent excuse.
On one of ESPN’s many broadcasts of the Fiesta Bowl, Griffin got a call at the end of the third quarter telling him that his wife, Grete Griffin, was in labor. While his broadcast partners were a little confused by his on-air phone call — “What are we doing?” — it was obviously important. He probably wouldn’t have taken the call otherwise.
But RGIII quickly explained: And after a round of congratulations, Griffin absolutely bolted off the football field.
