The Georgia Bulldogs Just Unveiled The Most Embarrassing Banner Ever
Have some damn pride, Georgia!
There is nothing more exhilarating than watching your favorite sports team hang a championship banner.
It signifies all the hard work and sacrifice that the players and coaches put into the season as well as the reward that comes with seeing all that hard work pay off.
The Georgia Bulldogs men's basketball team decided that it was time to raise a banner of their own, but not for winning the NCAA Tournament.
It wasn't a conference championship banner either, nor was it a Final Four flag.
Feast your eyes on the most embarrassing banner to be flown since the Colts raised their "AFC Finalist" cloth.
No, this isn't a well-Photoshopped meme or an AI account, this is from the official UGA Men's Basketball account on X.
They're really hanging banners in Athens for making it to the NCAA Tournament.
The standard of excellence across the street at Sanford Stadium may be championships, but inside the confines of Stegeman Coliseum, it looks like the basketball team doesn't share the football team's mentality.
They probably could have just hung a banner that said "Congratulations! You are one of the 68 best teams in the country," and called it a day, but that doesn't roll off the tongue the same way, so this was likely the better choice.
It's not like the Dawgs had a season to remember, either.
Georgia finished the year below .500 in conference play and barely snuck into the Big Dance, only to get trounced by eighth-seeded Gonzaga in the first round.
The fine folks on X were positively ruthless towards the Bulldogs, and for good reason.
Oh, no! I feel sorry for the poor social media intern that was contractually obligated to post this.
Don't cry too hard for Georgia fans, though.
As I alluded to above, the Dawgs have one of the best college football programs in the nation and the best coach currently in the game, so I'm sure this embarrassment is nothing more than a blip on the radar in Northeast Georgia.
But for those of us that have to deal with the insufferable Bulldog fans from August to January during the football season, let's keep taking those victory laps.
Some of us have to take our wins where we can get them.
