Lawmakers show off their team spirit as historic championship game arrives | Columbus Ledger-Enquirer

Politicians from Alabama and Georgia spent Monday repping for their respective gridiron representatives at the College Football Championshin between the University of Georgia Bulldogs and the University of Alabama Crimson Tide.

It actually started last week, with Georgia Governor Nathan Deal declaring Friday, Jan. 5 "UGA Football Friday" and encouraging state employees and all Georgia residents to show their support for the bulldogs by wearing red and black.

"This season has been most memorable, with UGA punching a ticket home after a win in double overtime against Oklahoma, perhaps the most exciting football game ever played," Governor Deal said.
