Georgia snapped a lengthy NCAA Tournament drought this spring and is set to mark the occasion with a new banner. <\/p>\n
After all, it was UGA\u2019s first March Madness<\/a> appearance since 2015. The Bulldogs earned a No. 9 seed in this year\u2019s NCAA Tournament, their highest seed line for the Big Dance since they were a 3-seed way back in 2002. <\/p>\n Here\u2019s a look at the banner:<\/p>\n The only problem is Georgia\u2019s biggest rival, Florida<\/a>, just won the National Championship \u2014 its third since the last time Georgia<\/a> won a game in March Madness. To make matters more awkward, Georgia currently employs Florida\u2019s former head coach in Mike White, who parted ways with the Gators after 7 mostly-uneventful seasons back in 2022. <\/p>\n Georgia\u2019s first trip back to the NCAA Tournament ended poorly as the Bulldogs were routed by Gonzaga, 89-68 in the first round. <\/p>\n It\u2019s worth noting the banner appears to be for Georgia\u2019s practice facility and not for its home arena, Stegeman Coliseum. Still, Florida fans were relentless with their criticism of the choice to hang a banner for such a modest accomplishment.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s the best of that reaction: <\/p>\n Thanks for the $1.25 million to take Mike White by the way<\/p>\n \u2014 InAllKindsOfWeather.com (@AllKindsWeather) August 8, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Thank you for taking Mike White!!!!!!<\/p>\n \u2014 BigTimmy9032 (@bigtimmy9032) August 8, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Also, didn’t y’all get bounced in the 1st round?
