WASHINGTON — A Georgia congressman had fun with Texas' SEC Championship loss to UGA while speaking on the House floor on Tuesday.
Georgia Republican Rep. Mike Collins, who was born in Jackson, Georgia, and represents the state's 10th congressional district that covers Athens, demanded that "Texas be sent back to the Big 12" while directing the Speaker of the House. Collins did so with a portrait of UGA's on-field celebration beside him.
"Mr. Speaker, I rise today to demand that Texas be sent back to the Big 12 and to congratulate the 2024 SEC Champions, the Georgia Bulldogs . . . The Dawgs have proved without a doubt that Texas just ain't ready for SEC ball," Collins said.
