ATLANTA — How bout them Dawgs? It was a display of utter dominance on Monday night in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game by Georgia, one that made the rest of the country - right on up to the president - take notice and tip their caps.
"Glory, glory, @UniversityofGA," President Joe Biden tweeted. "Congrats to the Dawgs on a hard-fought National Championship - and to @TCUFootball for beating the odds all season. Georgia, no doubt you made your community proud tonight."
Those sentiments were echoed by figures from Gov. Brian Kemp to Sen. Raphael Warnock.
"Another year, another title for our undefeated, national champion @GeorgiaFootball Bulldogs!" Gov. Kemp tweeted from the game in Southern California. "This team has inspired us every step of the way, and our family could not be prouder to support them from Athens to LA. Congratulations to all of Dawg Nation, and #GoDawgs!"
"History! Congrats to @GeorgiaFootball on winning a second straight #NationalChampionship! You make our state proud! #GoDawgs," Sen. Warnock wrote on Twitter.
Away from the political world, there was Athens itself, where students were ready to party.
