How’s that for team spirit?
Georgia Governor Nathan Deal signed an official proclamation Thursday declaring Friday, Jan. 5 "UGA Football Friday."
The governor encouraged all Georgia fans and residents to wear red and black to show their support for the Georgia Bulldogs, who are set to play the University of Alabama Crimson Tide Monday in the College Football National Championship at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
"Following this historic season under the leadership of former All-SEC Georgia defensive back and current coach Kirby Smart, I hope to join UGA alumni, students, and fans across the nation to celebrate UGA’s first National Championship since the 1981 Sugar Bowl," Deal wrote in the proclamation.
