ATHENS - Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs are the No. 1 team in the country thanks to a huge win over Peyton Manning’s Tennessee Vols.
Manning was on hand with his family to watch only the third match up of No. 1 vs. No. 1 in college football history. Unfortunately for him, the Dawgs took home a 27-13 win - and the No. 1 spot in the country with them.
"I know Luke is excited about this past weekend in Athens,” Manning said as he introduced the country music artist, who has sold over 75 million albums during his career.
“Hey, I need that hundy ($100) - me and you. That hundy. Where's that hundy?” Bryan asked the former NFL star.
“I will give it do you tomorrow,” Manning acknowledged begrudgingly. “We are going to talk about (Georgia-Tennessee). I know you were the guest picker on (College) Gameday. Your Bulldogs beat my Vols. Luke were you surprised we actually invited you to be on the show tonight?”

“I thought I might have the night off. You have to let me come on here, and you have to take your medicine Peyton,” Bryan said. “You have to take you medicine.”
The country star grew up in South Georgia near the Flint River in Leesburg. Like other country stars that follow the Dawgs, Bryan has been on the sideline in the past - including the 2013 Vanderbilt game in Nashville where the entire UGA cheerleading crew took a shot with him on the sideline.
Bryan recalled how cheering for the Dawgs in the Dawgs’ 33-18 win over No. 1 Alabama in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game almost threw off a performance of his nearly two weeks later.
“We were cheering for the Dawgs. Peyton saw me before the game. He could see the intensity in my eyes,” he recalled. What’s crazy is - so that was January 10th. My next concert was January 23rd. I was still having vocal trouble - that's how much I yelled in that game.”
Bryan’s wife, Caroline, http://instagr.am/p/CYry6MJJQqT">jokingly put tape over his mouth three days after the game saying: “He’s on vocal rest after his EXCESSIVE screaming at National Championship game….can’t say I’m too unhappy about it! I plan on talking nonstop and annoying the hell out of him.”
He’s been able to cheer a lot since that night. The No. 1 Dawgs are set to take on Mississippi State on the road this Saturday. Should the Dawgs win, and they are 16.5-point favorites, they will win the SEC East for the fifth time in six years.
The Georgia Bulldogs WIN the 2021 NATIONAL TITLE!
