to give the Bulldogs a proper send off to Atlanta for the College Football Playoff National Championship game.
Late Friday afternoon, the Georgia football players and coaching staff loaded up on the buses in Athens, GA and headed west for a short trip to the team hotel in Atlanta, GA for the College Football Playoff National Championship game.
Despite the cold January winter day, Bulldog fans came out to UGA’s Butts-Mehre Heritage Hall to give the team a good ‘ole red and black send-off. The team departed Athens around 5:00 p.m. ET and arrived in Atlanta just after 6:30 p.m. Enjoy these video clips and photos of Georgia’s trek.

Georgia will play Alabama on Monday, Jan. 8th at 8:00 p.m. ET on ESPN for the national title crown. Alabama will hold their final team practices in the Mercedes-Benz Stadium and although Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs had the option of also practicing in a facility in Atlanta, they are choosing to hold their final practices in Athens. That means Georgia will load back up on the buses after this Saturday morning’s media day and make the short trek back to Athens for practice that afternoon.
