This is nothing new for Georgia fans, who have traveled very well this year at big games such as those at Notre Dame, against Florida in Jacksonville or versus Auburn in the SEC Championship Game.
However, last week’s turnout in Pasadena was particularly impressive, considering it was across the country and against another proud fan base such as the Sooners’, which is also known to travel well.
Speaking of last week's Media Day, Georgia offensive lineman Dyshon Sims took the microphone from Channel 2 Sports Director Zach Klein and interviewed his teammates.
He even shared a funny exchange with head coach Kirby Smart.
And Nick Saban behind a microphone for an hour is must-watch TV. The Alabama head coach has been known for a good sound bite here and there.
