Ric Flair Has Message for Kirby Smart, Reveals He's Rooting for Michigan in College Football Playoff

Professional wrestling legend Ric Flair lives in Georgia, and, at least in the past, openly rooted for the Bulldogs. He helped hype up the team back in 2018 ahead of the College Football Playoff. He also was a celebrity guest picker when the Bulldogs took on Notre Dame in 2019, picking Georgia to win. But in Friday night's CFP semifinal, he isn't rolling with UGA. Why?

Well, for one, he has a friendship with Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh. But that doesn't appear to be the sole reason. Flair took to Twitter on Friday morning to call out Georgia head coach Kirby Smart for—as he claims—not shaking his hand when he was standing next to former Bulldogs running back Herschel Walker in Athens.
